Seahawks vs Lions

Think it is safe to say this first live look at the 2016 NFL Playoffs has been.... lackluster?



Maligned teams



Bad officiating



Arrogance



All wrapped in one




Hey teams tomorrow, show 'me how it is done. Thank you.

 

It's gonna be so satisfying to watch these bums walking off the field with their big fat mouths shut when they finally come up against an officiating crew that they don't have blackmail on.

 

I was thinking lockjaw, but that works, too.

 

What's so annoying are all the tards in the media that actually Sherman is this shutdown corner when in reality he's literally just a throw down corner and why would you want to throw towards your guy when your guy will just be thrown to the ground and Sherman will then get an easy pick because he never gets called for his nonsense?

 

Birds of a feather... Hopefully the Falcons will take care of the Seahawks next week.

 

Next week!

 

I hope Julio Jones just straight up nukes Richard Sherman off the face of the earth. Next week they face a team with true dual threats and a qb that's 100%. They'd better pick their poison carefully.

 

Dont be that guy.

 

I was pretty accurate. Think it turned out to be like 41 but 32 isn't a bad guess.

 

Steeler fans don't do the ref whining thing. It's beneath us.

 

If you watched that game and thought that it was called well then you have that right. If you thought it wasn't PI against Julio Jones you have that right. If you thought it wasn't a blatant facemask tonight on that Seahawks td then you have that right. If you thought it was actually a catch on that fateful Monday night in Seattle on the Hail Mary then you have that right. If you think Seattle doesn't get more benefits of the doubt than most teams then you have that right. If you read over this thread you will see that you're in the minority on this specific issue regarding this specific team though.

 

Are you actually trying to make some kind of a case that NFL officiating is biased in favor of the Seahawks?

 

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery.


Let us see if Quinn has supassed his master.

 

I'm trying to say that their corners and db's get away with murder. Because they do. Did you not see Richard Sherman kneecap Buffalo's kicker a few weeks ago on MNF? Did you not see our game against them in Seattle where he threw AB go the ground and didn't get called? Did you not see this year when Julio Jones was mugged and the league actually came out and admitted that they made a mistake? Did you not see tonight that the refs actually admitted at halftime to Jim Caldwell that they missed a facemask call? Did you not hear Collinsworth, who basically cries like a teenie bopper for Seattle, admitting that the officiating was atrocious? Sure he said it didn't effect the outcome but the fact stands that they get way too much benefit of the doubt and have for a few years now.

 

I will take that as a yes. So there are NFL officiating conspiracies. You do realize this is what people have said about us for years? Especially, a few years back when our defense was very physical and dominating. I just don't buy it. If Sherman played for us, you would love him.

 

I'm not saying there are "conspiracies" and I don't care what people have said about us. I asked you directly what you thought of those moments and you didn't answer me. If you want to believe that Seattle doesn't benefit from terrible calls quite frequently then that is fine. It doesn't bother me at all. I pretty much never even mention officiating except for them because there are so many blatant missed calls against that defense and Sherman specifically and no I wouldn't love him. He's a blowhard thug that rants like an idiot and makes a fool of himself. Just ask Erin Andrews. Do you think he should have been penalized for the hit on Carpenter earlier this year or not?

 

I think any NFL team could put together a list of calls that have gone against them. No, I do not believe Seattle has had several years of officiating breaks go their way. A couple high profile calls have colored the whole view.

 

Fair enough. There are no rules that I know of that say we have to agree on everything.

 

Thanks for educating us all on how steelers fans are supposed act and what we're supposed to say. I always had a sneaking suspicion that BFT wasn't a real fan. Thanks for outing him.

That was a hard game to watch. The Lions should at least try to have a running game.

 

Maybe. Patriots? Definitely!

 

And we have a winner. It's Mr. Defendicon! Must be an ACLU Lawyer.

 

And you must be someone who didn't get enough attention from mommy and daddy.
