Watching the Sf/Bal game and thought the same thing.
Based on how much whining there was by fans of all the opponents we faced last year, I'd say you're right, actually.Cartire":1zvpsi10 said:Heres the thing. Clearly the NFL fans wanted this. Why else would this have been such an issue that needed to be addressed to insanely?
I mean, I havent met a single fan in the nation that has said that they wanted more ref involvement, but I assume thats the case, right?

So you call their bluff.
Make the game a storm of yellow flags where it is clear the entire offense is advancing on penalties. The refs will be forced not to call it as often because the game will get so ugly people will change the channel. Think of what happened with the replacement refs as an example.
But the question is whether the integrity of the game (restoring it by removing the NFL equivalent of "juicing the ball") is worth sacrificing a season over.
What is hilarious is going to be watching our receivers victimize the league based on rule changes that everyone clamored for. Because this team is going to move from a team that lumbers up and down the field on the RB to one that uses a mobile QB and an adept WR corps to victimize teams.
We already watched Denver get drowned in a storm of flags in this preseason game, watch it happen.
One thing I am confident of is that no matter the rules, Pete will always find loopholes in those rules that allow us to gain advantages on the field.

Yup, you've got it all figured out Dan.

Hawks46":37o7r5pb said:Evidently you're right. Denver had 1st and 35 after some obvious (and one dubious) holding penalties and one procedure penalty, so Osweiler hucks it up to his WR. Our DB has PERFECT position, and the WR has the one of the easiest and most obvious offensive pass interference penalties...a double handed shove to the back and the call goes against the defense. The only rational explanation I can figure is that the refs really didn't want to call 5 penalties in a row on the Broncos.

Fouts took waaaay too many hits to the head as a player. Waaaaaay too many.

That's funny because the zebras only missed one defensive PI in XLVII and that was on Earl Thomas right before halftime...... but they also missed the Donks OPI on D. Thomas that clearly shoved Sherman to the ground.Hawknballs":beluu8h0 said:During the dolphins/falcons game the ATL broadcast brought it up too and basically implied that seattle only won because they were holding and that Richard Sherman was a cheater.
Butthurt strongest from all the teams who couldn't finish the job.
