Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks @ Atlanta Falcons

[WizardHawk]

The thing is it really wasn't an actual hit. He grabbed his feet and Ryan fell over. How is that a hit? These pussy ass calls are really killing football. I miss the days of watching defensive players killing receivers going up for catches in crossing routes. Just really sad to see football coming to this.

Another flag...

 

[blstoker]

wow, just held his feet until he fell down. That wasn't a "hit" on anything. Freaking just lame.

It looked like Bennett tripped and just fell into the tackle anyway, so it's literally calling a flag on gravity.

Ryan is feeling it and i am loving it.

 

[Cloud]

More laundry. They're trying to get the Falcons 6's.

 

[Judge Fudge]

WTF is that call?

 

[seahawksfan234]

That doesn't look offsides to me. Looked like he timed the snap PERFECTLY.

 

[gohusk]

God. Could you call one of the 5 offsides on the Falcons today? That wasn't nearly as blatant as what the Falcons have been getting away with.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

WOW BS. These are Atlanta refs for sure. 4 bad calls (spot that we challenged) on this ONE drive.

 

[Cloud]

Look like it might be 4 down territory.

 

[Banned 10x]

ref helped TD

 

[seahawksfan234]

Good route and throw on that one. Maxwell just got beat. Nothing you can say about that. That is what happens when you lose Browner.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Bull f***ing shit. That's a crock. Took 4 bad calls to get the precious Falcons their TD. Falcons do not deserve that at all.

 

[WizardHawk]

ok, so now answer and drive for a long time killing TD to put a dagger in their hearts

 

[Doublejive]

Close.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

"The Matt Ryan we're all accustomed to." Right.. if he doesn't have two top 10 receivers and the best TE to ever play the game, the refs will chip in.

 

[Cloud]

That was lame. I don't want to complain about the refs, but they clearly aided the Falcons to 7 points there.

 

[TheDman875]

You're welcome ATL.

Sincerely, NFL.

It's BS but the refs can't see everything. If they see the neck jerk then it's going to be an illegal hit. If they see something low on a qb then it's going to be a low hit. That's just how the league works now. I don't like it but it is a business and a workplace and they have to protect their employees and moneymakers.

Don't let the refs' favoring the Falcons get you down, boys. Keep your offense going!
