1) Play continues on a completed illegal forward pass
2) The result of the play was a TD for Pittsburgh
3) Acceptance of the penalty requires an untimed down for SD (Quarter/Half may not end with an accepted penalty)
4) Declining the penalty forces the result of the play to stand (Pgh would surely decline the IFP penalty for the TD)
5) The Point After Touhdown (PAT) is an untimed down that must be completed
6) Replay Official/Referee/Crew choked
7) Score 17/18 Pittsburgh - 10 SD
8) None of these seven officials will work play-off or super bowl games this season

I believe everything you said is correct.
