I actually thought the Roethlisberger TD was a great call. It was very close, but the ball appeared to break the plane. On replay, the play appeared very close but echoed the on-field call. Had the on-field call gone the other way, we probably would have seen the other result.

The three other calls you mention, though, were terrible. Especially the phantom holding penalty. It was 14-10 when that flag was thrown. The officials basically took the lead from Seattle.
