Seattle Seahawks thread

I'm hearing a possible TD by the Cards was not ruled that way. Also, maybe Bobby Wagner touched an OL incidentally on an FG attempt...

I missed the first 55 minutes of this game but hearing these comments from non NFC West fans is telling, unless everyone just hates the Hawks....which is possible with every passing year.

TD was very close, they really didn't show it from all angles for whatever reason, I guess because AZ went right back to the LOS and ran another play. Why AZ didn't challenge was beyond me?

Wagner's toe barely scraped the back of the center when he jumped over, didn't effect the center in any way shape or form. Was it a penalty technically, yes, but in real speed, no way a ref could have seen it, and would have been extremely ticky tack if called. It was obvious Hawks were on the losing end of the called penalties last night, how they stayed in that game is a feat in of it self.

Well Arians should have thrown the flag to challenge. It was close as ballz so probably not overturned. He also could have gone for another attempt on 3rd down instead he opted for his kicker, lolz, his reaction was priceless. Pete's was even better later lolz. Looked like he just experienced the worst moment in his life ever. He was an emotional wreck.
He needs to calm down but Pete's just being Pete.

You cant challenge in overtime, everything is a booth review.

Seahawks got away with another one last night. Jay Feely posted this with the title "this is not incidental contact."


You can see Wagner using his own player and a Cardinals player to push himself upwards. Should have been a flag and a rekick.

Didn't see this game but the comments are hilarious.

They originally threw the flag so there obviously was a way for the refs to see it. They talked about it then decided to not follow the rules and picked up the flag.

According to the senior VP of officiating . . .

In #SEAvsAZ you have to land on the player for it to be a foul. The block was legal.

What Wagner did on the FG miss by the Cards wasnt. Seattle should have been flagged there.

What rule was not followed? Dean Blandino clarified why the Wagner leap was legal even with the toe tap to the snappers back.

That was the one I found most egregious . He was clearly using teammates shoulders to push up and over the pile

Not accurate, and this was discussed at length, it clearly showed that he touched no one, including his teammates until his toe grazed the back of the center (even in super slow motion). The second time he jumped over the player left of the center raised his arm and initiated contact, which is why he turned sideways in the air. Neither play was egregious in any way.

Can someone explain to me how the Cards only scored 3 points despite outgaining the Seahawks 2:1?

I missed the entire 4 quarters save for the last 3 minutes or so.

It's pretty simple, rack up yards between the 20s and s**t the bed on the opponents side of the field. Missed a fg, another blocked etc. Seems like they had 9 drives that died around the Seahawks 40 yard line. Too far for a fg so they punted time and time again.
