Exactly...I know you Pittsburgh fans are pissed, but if somebody ran into your kicker like that, you know you'd want the call. It's only escalated because of the situation. If that happened in the 8th week in the season in the 1st quarter or something, you wouldn't give it a second thought...a penalty is a penalty.
And then there is the Eagles...we were good enough to win, though the offense was a bit sluggish through a couple quarters. Our defense stepped it up, we bent but did not break and that holding penalty when Vick scored was HUGE. The roughing the punter was pretty huge also. Fairly ugly game, but it doesn't matter how you win them in the playoffs.
