The NFL reviewed all of the calls and found nothing wrong. I disagree with one, the bogus call on Hasselbeck when he tackled Ike Taylor (and didn't even hit the blocker in question) but other than that what evidence do YOU have other than your opinion?
The NFL did not say "nothing" was wrong. The NFL said that the game was officiating properly. The reason that distinction needs to be made, is because things we have no idea about things that were not fouls or not fouls. For all we know there might have been a problem with a mechanic, a spot or positioning. There might have even been a problem with who threw a flag and who did not throw a flag. NFL officials can get downgraded for things we never see or understand or hear about.

Peace
Granted, I should have said nothing wrong with the calls in question. I still don't see how they could have said it was properly officiated given the Hasslebeck call. I think the other calls, while mostly judgement calls, were documented fouls according to the rules. Jackson clearly got an advantage (separation) by pushing Townsend away and I don't know how anyone can fault the referee for making that call considering it happened right in front of him.
