Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks @ Atlanta Falcons

[gohusk]

"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.

He's a solid QB. The wheels just fell off this season. Every QB that puts up big numbers have advantages that the other guys don't.

Refs showing some bias now

Atlanta TD courtesy of the refs. I am so fucking sick of NFL refs. These guys are full on retards.

Time for an 8 minute drive right here. Eat up some clock boys.

There will be a time in the near future where there will be harder hitting in the Lingerie Football league. Pretty sad. That being said, that was a perfectly timed pass from Ryan. Our defender did a good job and almost batted it away.

 

[Judge Fudge]

and they give them a TD

BULL

I'm about tired of watching NFL refs move the ball down field for offenses…. That RP call on Bennett was outrages…

I thought the comparison in penalty stats had some indication. Six for us, only one 15-yarder for them?

Better keep the offense going; it's the only way we'll be able to overcome these homer refs.

Hope Lynch runs with a lot of anger on this next drive.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

I hope Pete sends a letter to the league on that one…. my god…

Wasn't just one bad call either, it was 4 of them.

1) Bruce Irvin's hit on a defenseless receiver who is the FULL BACK and he drops the pass. Bruce already going full momentum.
2) "Roughing a QB" that was sacked. That should be on c'mon man.
3) Bad spot that we had to challenge when the player was CLEAR AS DAY a yard shy.
4) Offsides on a perfectly timed pass.

2 and 4 bring up 4th and long.

 

[blstoker]

there's the 100 yards for Lynch

Jesus there were some bad calls but Seattle fans really do bitch about refs more than any fans in the NFL.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Great and now 3rd and long. We cannot give ATL the ball right back here.

 

[TheDman875]

Don't get stale Bevell, just keep attacking.

 

[gohusk]

This is what bugs me about this team. When the offense is clicking and we get a good cushion we take ourselves out of it with really conservative play calling. Teams like the Saints or the Packers have no problem running up the score. People bag on them for it but you don't see many teams coming back on them. This is still a 2 possession game and there's plenty of time.

LOL. I agree. I think a lot of us do clearly hate these guys. Can't say that I blame them after SB40.

I assume you don't frequent other game threads. Everybody complains about the refs.

I was thinking the same thing. Bad officiating is as much a part of football's long history as leather helmets and drop kicks. Bad calls happen in pretty much every game. Fans only seem to remember the ones that go against their team and use it as some proof of a conspiracy. Just play better ball and leave no doubt or room for bad calls to lose a game. That's all.

 

[gohusk]

God. I was sure they were going to call a push off on that.
