I take pride in my sports knowledge, especially the enforcing of rules. I'd make the world's best replay official.

#1 - By the rules of the game, the pass interference on Seattle was just that. The WR extended his arm and made contact with the defender. The defender's movement was impeded and the receiver caught the ball. Pass Interference, all day, everyday.

#2 - Ben was in. It doesn't matter where you or the ball hits the ground. It matters if the ball crossed the plane of the goal line. That plane starts at the very edge of the white goal line and extends vertically to infinity. While airborne, the nose of the ball gets to the goal line right before he is hit. Once hit, yes he moves backward and lands behind the goal line.

Also, it was called a "TD" on the field. To overturn that call, they would need indisputable evidence that it WAS NOT a TD. No one can say that the video provided that evidence.

Both of those calls were spot on and if Holmgren is watching the tapes today, I guarantee he would not argue.
