Luck was great. The officiating was the worst i've seen.

[lobohawk]

Umm..Wilson and Luck throw for almost identical yards and TDs. Russell adds 100 yards rushing. Yeah, he missed a couple impactful throws, but those lauding Luck over Russell are being petty.

In a game against a good team, the margin of error is small. The addition of some bad calls definitely made a difference. The issue was the Hawks had to make fewer errors than they did (blocked FG...10 point swing there, overplaying the blocked punt for a safety...5 more points, and the missed assignment on the first TD, Etc).

So yes, the calls were impact full. Just not the only reason they lost.

Russell Wilson needs to start stepping it up. He won't get to play the jaguars every week...

Yeah I know.. damn that 100 yds rushing when his receiver scant get separation or himself some time in the pocket.. Wilson is clearly a bum...

nobody said he's a bum. its great that he kept us in the game with his legs, but it would be great if he could take a cue or two from Luck and actually hit receivers when they are open and do get separation. Too many overthrows in a game when every play counts. And btw, if you watch the replays, we do have receivers open more than you'd think given the lack of success in the passing game.

Give credit to Luck, he beat you.

Read the thread title. Credit was given.

Luck was sensational in this game. The officiating was sensationally bad.

If they're going to call the game tight, then it at least needs to go both ways. I think what pisses me off the most was just the inconsistency of the officiating.

-Tate - OPI
-Colts 2 point conversion - No OPI

-Sherman/Hilton falls down play - DPI
-Rice sideline pass - No DPI

Those are just a few off the top of my head, but there are plenty more.

If we would've simply lost the game on our own, a la Miami, I would be bummed. But when you have to play against the other team AND the refs, it just sucks.

the two point conversiion wayne was being held bad so he pushed off they didnt call either the seahawks were playing dirty holding the whole game stop being a baby

 

[NFSeahawks]

LOL @ Russell needs to step up.

Small fact: Russell Wilson has never lost a road game by more than a TD.

 

[scutterhawk]

Russell Wilson needs to start stepping it up. He won't get to play the jaguars every week...

are you flippin serious? what more would you like him to do? run routes get open and throw to himself.. if anyone needs to step up its Rice, he didn't even make an effort to come back for that last pass, he gets no seperation. i'll take kearse over him any day at this point.

to say RW needs to step it up is just silly...

No, to say Russell Wilson needs to "Step Up", is goofy.
And you are exactly correct '84', Rice is really pissing me off more and more.
Last week, in Texas, he nestled down for a catch while his Quarterback was being smothered, and the defender played on the ball for the interception, and then again this Week in Indy., he does it again.
Does he NOT know that the opponents watch game tapes, and knows his tendencies?
Shit, I don't play Receiver, but even I know better than doing dumb ass plays like that, AND HE'S OUR #1 RECEIVER?

 

[cmm4191]

wow didn't know the seahawk fans were such babies, the seahawks held the whole game. i only saw one bad call on the tate push off. Colts were so beat up going into this game . Get over it luck beat wilson with a much worse team.

Lol, ok, will do.

 

[TwilightError]

It was because of their back up quarterback.

 

[DavidSeven]

Luck played a great game, but Wilson was just as good, if not better. Wilson threw for nearly identical yards and TDs and ran for 100 while on the road and playing behind atrocious protection. Oh, and his #1 TE also just happened to be out, and he didn't get the benefit of drive extending flags. This one wasn't on QB play for Seattle.

arent you a peach.

sorry you didnt happen to see the other 9 calls that were gifted to you.

Indy is a much worse team? Werent you 11-5 and a playoff team last year? Werent you at home today? Want a rematch in November at the Clink?

Lol I didnt think so.

 

[AF_Hawk]

Easy to talk shit after a win. What a pansy.

 

[scutterhawk]

I give up. All of you saying we lost because of the refs are absolutely right. None of the mistakes and bad plays Seattle made were a factor in the loss. The clutch play by Luck wasn't a factor in the loss. It was all the refs and that's the only reason.

NOT saying it WAS the only reason, JAY, but you prop up a guy like Andrew Luck with padded calls, and expect us to overcome?, yeah, okay SMFH

 

[razor150]

What a bunch of whiny sore losers. The call on Sherman was correct and obvious to anybody with eyes. Calling it a safety was correct as well, he didn't have control of the ball. Nice hustle though. The PI on Tate was bs. What lost this game was the defense, not the officials. The defense needed to step up and they choked just like they did in Atlanta.

Also, I have just about had it with Wilson overthrowing wide open recievers. For all the plays Wilson made today the overthrows impacted the game far more than the officiating.

 

[Tical21]

Having been an official for several years, I am not one to knock them too often. Why is everybody glazing over what was by far the worst and most impactful call. Hello? The Jeron Johnson TD. That was CLEARLY a TD, I have no idea how you could possibly rule differently. 17-0, game over, period.

maybe if he would get a couple mulligans on 3rd downs with pass interference he could

So the rule book states that if a defender (Sherman) is pushed, he should be flagged for PI?? Guess Sherman should have ducked to avoid being pushed and thus flagged.

Learned something new today.

Thanks Razor.

I think my favorite was the 3rd and forever when luck chucked it wildly down the field and Browner was flagged for running in the vicinity of the reciever....

 

[Kixkahn]

The refs call from what their opinion is on pass interference calls. When a call is made for one team but the identical situation happens for the other team and no call, it matters. Call it even that is all we truly want, if you are going to call it on us call it on them too.
