I'm with you, Fabs, on that TD call: I don't think he made it in. My wife and I fought about that call every time out, commercial and any other break in play for the rest of the game.

The pony pulling the wagon was great. And I liked the shorn sheep streaker. The cowboy deadpan "I didn't need to see that" killed me.
They won legitimate. The calls tonight were not bad, compared to other games. The TD call could not have been made any other way. Even if you do not like the TD there is no way you could say beyond doubt the ball did not cross the beginning of the white. But if you take that out, they still won. Seattle could move the ball, but they could not seal the deal. The holding call was a little iffy, IMHO, but we did not see every angle.
No one will ever be happy with all the calls. With replay, or sensors, or triple play, or even 3-d computer assited holographic imaging. The officials making the calls are still human. It's part of football. I wouldn't have it any other way. God help me for quoting a Tom Cruise movie but, "No, no, he didn't slam into you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you...he RUBBED you. And rubbin, son, is racin'."
