Pete needs to complain!

[Seahawkx]

I know we are not like the Whinners and complain about why every play of theirs doesnt end up a TD or why another team gets a yard.

But yesterday was too much!! I am sure all of you saw during the Whinner's TD drive before the half, there was clear cut holding on almost every play against their O-line and not a single one was called. That is not coincidence or not refs missing a call here and there.. That was clear cut helping a single team!!

Now I know Pete doesn't complain ever, but I think complaining is appropriate sometimes. Especially here. Why cant he stand up for our team like Hardbag does and for once complain to the NFL and seek explanations?! It wont change anythings, but the refs will definitely hear about it and wont pull that crap again against us so clearly.

Perhaps he can hire you to do it for him. You seem very qualified.

Let it go dude. We lost.

 

[Sarlacc83]

I'm sure if he does, the NFL will retroactively award the victory to Seattle.

 

[onanygivensunday]

.... we are not like the Whiners

So why start?

 

[Basis4day]

Let it go.

That being said, the team (And all teams) always reviews controversial calls and submits them for clarification from the league office. And yes, the league responds.

Yeah this is definately a possibility. Happens every week, LOL.

 

[Sports Hernia]

There's lots of tape Pete can send to the NFL offices from yesterday's game and I'll leave it at that.
Bottomline is if the Hawks bring their "A" game, they win, they didn't, and lost.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Pete complains plenty, as does every coach. That's part of their job to work the officials, just so happens Harbaugh is one of the bigger cry babies about it.

This is overblown anyway, refs don't give a crap about coaches yelling at them. If anything, they probably resent coaches like Harbaugh screaming at them for 60 minutes and don't give them calls just out of spite.

 

[Hawknballs]

we all know that was a crappy officiating crew going into the game, and i wasn't surprised.

Bad calls affected both teams in what was otherwise a really good football game. 49ers won. 11-2. next game on the schedule.

 

[JGfromtheNW]

How many holding calls were there against our offense?

And what good will that do? They're in on it... :stirthepot: :stirthepot:

 

[CANHawk]

No... they'll just give us half their draft picks. That's how they're doing Tomlin and the Steelers.

 

[RiverHawk]

We lost, plain and simple. Do any of us like it....absolutely not. We can complain all we want but it will still reflect as a loss. We need to quit pointing the finger at the officiating and at Bevell and start concentrating on the next game.

Kevin Gilbright did it before the giants sf game Justin smith got flagged all day giants won . If that's not good coaching I don't know what is get the refs to see what you want them to see . It seems to work so why not. Moral victory s don't equate to a W in the books and a W is a W

Didn't look that way yesterday to me

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

There were a number of blatant o-line holding calls that the refs chose not to throw a flag on in yesterday's game.



As my Raiders fan cousin told me after XL*, "your team will have to beat the other team and the refs if they're ever gonna win a Super Bowl". I believe this to be true.

 

[AbsolutNET]

I do think the Crabtree fumble fiasco needs to be submitted to the league. The biggest problem in officiating is consistency right now and that was a glaring mistake.

 

[hoxrox]

I heard the announcer say Aldon Smith was off sides, which should have resulted in a 1st down but I didn't see it.

But only when it's against the Hawks right?

Haven't heard one person complain today about the missed holding/facemask call on Miller pulling down Smith by his facemask on the Hawk's scoring drive in the 4th.
