Horrible spot on the 2nd play of the third drive of the game

[pocketprotector]

Compare where Marshawn is at the end of second down (top pic) with where the ball is spotted at the beginning of third down (bottom pic). This is on the drive that ended with the failed fourth down qb sneak. Just a terrible job of spotting the ball.

 

[Spokanefan]

Yeah, I remember that play....I was screaming at the TV in true Bud Lite "Ramsey" fashion. Of course, the announcer's were completely asleep at the wheel when it probably was a first down.

While it might seem like Hawks fans are domestically abused by bad referee calls, the fact is these things happen in all games.

Good teams make these kinds of errors not even worthy of a footnote. We can't keep crying foul at every single instance where a mistake doesn't go our way.

We are typically quick to forget or applaud the cases where we are the beneficiaries of these calls. We simply can't have it both ways. And continuing to climb up on the martyr's cross at every transgression just feeds the reputation of being whiny fans. We should take the lead from the team and just ignore the noise.

They do happen in just about every game. They are equally inexcusable in all cases.

Y'know, you coulda taken your own advice here. Yet you did not!... :mrgreen:

Bad spot or not, The play call after that was even worse.... I saw that QB sneak from my living room and couldn't believe my eyes
when they lined up for it and to top it off Wilson waited to long to snap the ball he gave the defense time to see what was coming
and if you give an NFL defense that much time to diagnose what you are trying to do they will stop you just like the Cards did on
that 4th & short....

 

[Missing_Clink]

Yup. I was screaming that they should challenge that BS spot on Marshawn's run. That 4th down play let AZ back in the game

That's 2nd down. 3rd down they did the same Marshawn Lynch rush. Not a QB sneak.

I agree play call was bad. Up by 14 points, Should had punted and let them do a 85+yard scoring drive.

Is RW 0-2 on QB sneak?

Thanks Roger Goodell, now back to your job......

They called a Lynch run on 2nd and 1 and third and 1 and couldn't get the first. Hard to blame the coaches for trying something else.

The Seahawks got a bad spot.

The Cardinals got a non-call on an insanely blatant PI call on Floyd by Thomas.

I'll take the bad spot over the PI.

 

[Blitzhawk]

Yes there were bad calls as always like the PI, face masks uncalled on both sides, and bad spots but the difference for me is at least they were consistant and fairly even in this game.

I have no issue with the decision to go for it (Keep foot on gas) my issue is we didn't convert. IIRC they still didn't score a touchdown from it.

That 4th down is a 50/50 play. Sometimes you get the push, sometimes you get beat
