It wasn't anyone's fault but I felt the officials had way too many critical calls in this game. In the first quarter, overturning the Roethlisberger TD cost the Steelers four points. At the end of the half, the Harrison TD, if overturned, would have cost the Steelers seven points. Then there was the Holmes touchdown at the end of the game. I felt the Steelers should have been called for a safety the play before holding was called in the end zone (hmmm, make up call?) and I thought the final fumble also was not called correctly.

This wasn't the total snow job that was the Super Bowl in Detroit but I did feel the Steelers got a lot of help from the refs on the *initial call* several times. You'll notice the Steelers never had to challenge a play. It was always the Cardinals or the replay official that had to keep questioning the crew on the field.
