Pereira makes me ill - every week on NFL Network with his alibis. This is the latest in the Seattle papers .... a Holmgren vs. Pereira point-for-point:
• An offensive pass interference penalty on Darrell Jackson that negated a Seattle touchdown.HOLMGREN: This was a "no call,'' jostling like what happened between Jackson and Chris Hope takes place all the time.
PEREIRA: Jackson's shove put Hope on his heels and created space between the receiver and defender. ``Clearly pass interference,'' he said.
BRONCOBUFF: Too big a game for ticky-tack nonsense. Chris Hope grabbed Jackson's hand, but Jackson needed it back.
• The rushing touchdown by Ben Roethlisberger.HOLMGREN: Holmgren didn't think he scored, but he quibbled more with the referee's signal. At first, the official signaled Roethlisberger down, then signaled touchdown when he saw the ball in the end zone. Problem was, the official didn't see Roethlisberger move the ball into the end zone as he was on the ground. To Holmgren, had the official called no score, replay could not have overturned it.
PEREIRA: "I think I could convince you it was a touchdown.''
BRONCOBUFF: The rule says it's a TD when you BREAK the plane, not BOUNCE OFF IT.
• A holding call on Seattle tackle Sean Locklear that negated a Seattle completion to the 1-yard line with the Seahawks down by four. On the next play, Seattle threw an interception.HOLMGREN: "The worst call of the game, in my opinion.''
PEREIRA: "In my mind, it was a hold."
BRONCOBUFF: (Bill Walton voice): "HOOOOOOOOOORIBLE! This blunder decided the game. Otherwise, who knows?
• A low block on the interception return called on Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.HOLMGREN: "That was crazy,'' Holmgren said. "I mean, that absolutely should never happen.''
PEREIRA: Has admitted this call was wrong.
Pereira admitted his crews have ``to suffer the consequences'' when they make mistakes, especially in the playoffs.
