Is it just me or is every seattle fan claiming that the refs lost the game for them? I had to hear it all day long at work. I personally thought there were some bad calls but it wasn't enough to lose the game for Seattle. They did that on their own in my opinion.

The touchdown call could have gone either way, it was so close. If you look very closely at the ball and it's position, it does look as if it crossed the goal line, but it's so close only a superhuman could have seen it in real time.
I think no matter what the official called, it would not have been enough to overturn on the replay evidence.
That said, I may be biased, but the Steelers outplayed the Seahawks in every aspect of the game in the second half. So it's not as though the better team that day didn't win.

Well, look at it this way, the Steelers had two legitimate touchdowns. The 'controversial' touchdown was on third down. So the Steelers would have scored at least 3 points on that drive.
Bad officiating did not cause two missed field goals, receivers making out of bounds catches, or really poor clock management at the end of the first half.
Final amended score 17-10 Pittsburgh.
