interesting video of Refs screwing us in Seattle

[bvanthielriceyoung]

Its kind of long but pretty much on the money about the calls. I dont know about the whole rigged thing but we get a lot of calls that go against us. Maybe its because of how our team and coach come off to the refs.



And any Seattle fans that watch this, save your breath.

I wouldn't have used the word, "interesting."

 

[BloodType49]

No doubt there were a bunch of bad/questionable calls. But we still had every opportunity to win.

I refuse to watch this video

Probably smart. Just going to piss you off like it did to me.

It brings up an interesting point however: Seattle seems to push the limits as a tactical thing, see just how far they can go. Apparently they can go pretty far, so if you cannot beat them join them.

I only watched the first half of it, but this video is a joke. It has no merit.

There were some bad calls in the NFL Title game (like running into the kicker instead of roughing the kicker), but overall it wasn't that bad. It was nothing like the screw job of Super Bowl 47.

 

[SteelersPride]

for starters

the first "inches" is photoshopped and angled.....
great camera work and long showing of the shoulder to shoulder hit........geeze
the touchdown thing is junk

after watching 5 minutes i have seen nothing but junk

Your ideas are very intriguing. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

The 6:00 mark is the one I didn't get. I thought no matter if he was out of the pocket or not was irrelevant because the ball landed inbounds.

nothing is relevant

the block in the back pisses me off because of the same non-call in last years Super Bowl

Roughing when the contact was from the punters own momentum? Absurd.

Apparently you didn't hear the game as the network's NFL rules announcer directly stated it should have been called roughing because he hit the punters plant leg. Doesn't matter now but thought you would like to know where our absurd thoughts came from.

 

[HighTopFade]

Interesting point of view. I agree that there are a lot of bad calls, and bad calls that are more one sided. But I can't believe it's all rigged.

 

[TobyTyler]

Baloney. Make one or two plays and the refs don't matter.

Yeah I dont know about the whole rigged thing. There is a ton of money involved in the business though and easily there could be corruption. It's been seen in other sports and sometimes things dont seem right

But he didn't hit him. He rolled up under and the punter landed on him. If the punter's momentum is where the contact comes from, it doesn't matter that it's the plant foot. It's not a personal foul.

You are wrong, check the rule book.

Rule 12, Section 2, Article 11, Item 1 of the rule book defines roughing the kicker as, among other things, contacting "the plant leg of the kicker while his kicking leg is still in the air." Replays show that's exactly what happened, but Steratore called the five-yard variety instead. The decision made the difference between the 49ers retaining possession and the Seahawks getting the ball for a drive that ended in a touchdown.
