Even if Jackson hadn't pushed off, that defender wouldn't have had a chance in hell to break that pass up. It should only be called pass interference if the other person would have had a chance to make a play.The refs sucked again I have to admit that. However, Darrell Jackson DID push off in the endzone. It may not have been much but it was enough to create seperation and thus the ref made the correct call.
He got in.The one that I thought was questionable was the TD they gave Ben when it didn't look like he got in. If he got in it was when the view was obstructed by the Seattle defender.
No. You cannot hit a defensless reciever. Especially in the head. i.e. John Lynch, Kenoy Kennedy.If the pass is way over the reciever's head, the defender can hit the reciever without getting a flag, right?

No offense intended here but this statement makes absolutely NO sense what so ever. If the rules were setup like that we would have ALOT MORE GREY AREA then we already do. What about a receiver that makes an illegal pick on a DB?? Should he not get flagged for offensive pass int.?? Or here is another scenario. Should they only call holding on an offensive lineman when they determine that the guy he was holding could have made a play?? Grey area such as what you're suggesting would make the officiating alot WORSE than it already is.It should only be called pass interference if the other person would have had a chance to make a play.
