All you can ask for in ANY major sporting event from officials is Consistency. In baseball, the strike zone is established in early in a game and all players ask for is that referees are consistent with the established zone. In ANY Sport, this is all that is asked for from Referees. This has been lacking ALL YEAR in Football. The Steelers just about got shafted in Indianapolis because of this, and Seattle got shafted in the Super Bowl. If the Referees had been consistent with the calls on both ends then nobody would care.

What would have happened in the game had it been called correctly? Who knows. Seattle may have lost by MORE points had the referees done a better job. But what makes me feel cheated as a fan is that regardless of what team you are rooting for, we were all robbed of a well played and well officiated game and that is wrong when so much money and fan attention is on the line.
