What brought this on?

Three things. Sherman's "oh well" reaction after roughing the kicker, his cocky post game interview and the refs obvious favoritism towards the Seahawks last night.

you guys and SB thoughts,,
not even going there yet,,
heads on Pitt this weekend, in their house.

Seattle doesn't like to play teams that punch harder than they can.

 

[MRV52]

2 games that Seattle has played that the Ref's ruined the outcome in favour of Seattle. The Atlanta game where Julio was interfered by Sherman and the roughing the kicker, once again by Sherman. Both of these could have ended in Seattle losses. Seattle is getting the bounces thus far in this season. I really want to play them so that we can really punish them.

Who roughs up a place kicker? Really Seattle? What's Sherman going to do next? Try and take out one of the cheerleaders knees. That'll impress everyone. LOB lowering themselves to taking cheap shots at PK now.

I can't really fault Sherman on that. He was offsides yes, but a smart football player doesn't stop just because they were offsides. The officials didn't stop the play. And Sherman went after the ball not the kicker. I don't see how that is roughing the kicker anymore than being offsides on a normal play and still going and tackling the QB so he doesn't launch the ball to the endzone on a free play (ala Rodgers).

The rules are pretty silly that the injured player would have to miss a play when the other team commits a penalty, but Sherman played it like he should have (beyond jumping offsides). The officials further bungled it with their not resetting the playclock.

For reelz. Talk about needing fans adopting the team's current level of focus. Speaking of focus (or lack thereof), I almost started scrambling for my copy of Dallas' upcoming opponents while screaming, "When the HECK did Seattle get on our schedule!"

LOL!!

You're not alone.................

The Patriots are going to destroy the Seahawks Sunday night. And I'm going to witness it first hand.

The play was blown dead when Sherman was offside.

If a DE runs offside, the refs blow the play dead and you crush the QB anyway, you will get a personal foul, fined, and maybe suspended if it's really blatent and you have a checkered history.

Not sure what it is about refs in Seattle. Maybe they are intimidated by the fans. But the oppostion always seem to get screwed over when they play there.

Why would you go to a patriots/Seahawks game? I hope you're not actually paying. . . .for anything.

My son, for some bizarre reason that I can't comprehend, is a huge Patriots fan. He wants to see Tom Brady live before he retires. I'm too soft hearted to refuse.

My other son is as big a Cowboys fan as I am, as it should be. He even posts here. But I must have dropped the other one on his head as a baby. That's the only reason I can think of as to why he cheers for the Patriots.

He's the black sheep of the family.

I think it will be fun anyway. I won't be cheering for New England to win, just for Seattle to lose.

When I rewatched the play, there were no whistles to be heard until after it was all over. He played to the whistle as he should have.

Well, that's cool you are taking him.

It's not the angle you take if you're trying to block the kick. Plain and simple. I've never seen someone launch himself over top of the placement and into the kicker's knees/thighs. That's just indefensible, imo.

I also thought that Graham's TD should have received a lot closer scrutiny than it evidently did. I'm not saying there was enough to overturn the call, but there may have been... if you could synchronize the opposite camera views side-by-side and raise the brightness and contrast to see what's going on underneath him with the ball, I thought there was just a moment there where the nose of the ball was certainly scraping the ground. I think he got away with one myself.

Do we REALLY want to get that precise? I'm all for reviewing close calls, but when we start talking about adjusting brightness, contrasts, pixels, etc., I think we may be going too far. Just my opinion.

Actually, I think they already do that in NY as a matter of routine. Sometimes, you have to time the frames up to see if the foot is, for instance, touching out of bounds before the nose of the ball breaks the frame b/c it's not all caught by one camera

 

[Jarv]

Its a personal foul in a punt, unless you deflect or block the kick. I don't think Sherman got any part of the ball, just saw it once though. If he didn't touch the ball it should have been a personal foul.

 

[drawandstrike]

The last team Seattle wants to face in their stadium or ours come playoffs is the Cowboys. They know full well their bully mentality doesn't fly with the Cowboys. ZekeMode> BeastMode oh wait there is no beastmode

 

[Risen Star]

Seattle would probably be the biggest hurdle to clear in the playoffs. It'd be a nasty, dirty coin flip of a game.

 

[Risen Star]

Prediction: They will not play each other in playoffs.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.
