but another GD penalty lost this game. The holding on Atlanta's last punt was the nail in the coffin. Took us back far enough to make the drive too long.
The ref threw the flag almost immediately. That means our freaking idiot was so stupid he committed a holding within about .5 seconds.
I'm not local to Seattle. I don't have time to search out press articles, watch every press conference etc.
Can someone local please inform me if there is a legitimate pressure from the fanbase for Pete to fix the stupid penalties? You can have Russell Wilson magic but that can't beat the other team and the yellow flags. I know Pete has addressed this in pressers from some guys posting around here, but that's just coach speak to me until something happens. Anything. Bench someone and let it be known. DO ANYTHING. A stupid penalty was the tipping point of our divisional playoff last year for crying out loud.
It's all stupid. I want to see something in the replays that convinces me there is bias. And I see some. Don't think I don't see some bias. But when you pull a jersey, it's easy. When you grab a face, it's easy.
Case study. The PI by Lane and the PI (uncalled) by Alford. Equal amounts of contact. What was the difference?
Lane grabbed. Alford just bumped and got physical. It's easy to see and call a jersey pull. It's hard to pull the trigger with two bodies fighting at it. There is nothing to NOT understand about this, but within the Seahawks organization it's 0 F's given.
Over and over again, we see the same product. Pete is either: a. oblivious b. who cares? we'll have a chance for the division anyway since 50% of it sucks c. A coach whose mojo happyland talk has lost the team d. you tell me
