The call on Browner was easily the most egregious call I've seen all season.

Which one ? The personal foul call was also bullsh*t. What's Browner supposed to do when he's within 1 foot of the football?

Oh yea, I forgot, let him catch it and score. The NFL wants 50-48 games.

Could not agree more. The Personal Foul penalites on touching WR going over the middle are particulary frustrating. Like you, I expect a flag every time.

There are times when they are deserved, today, was not the case (on any of them). I feel like too many games I come away crying about the refs and I really hate to be that guy, but come on...

It is so lame. More athletic displays and less old fat guys in stripes please.

The penalties being called are so frustrating and basically my only concern with this defense. It seems like refs come into Seahawks games alert on throwing flags against us due to our well documented physical style of play.

That holding call on Browner on 3 and 16.....seriously????

I can only imagine what it would be like if you were a fan of the losing team.

The new rules are ruining the game. If the nfl starts seeing declining numbers, I hope they realize why.

Someone got mad at me in chat because I expected a flag after a 3rd down play, I mean thats how ridiculous it's getting, but I mean you almost expect it now. So when it doesn't actually happen it's surprising.

Its a joke.

Nothing more frustrating than watching drives extended due to TERRIBLE calls. That "holding" call on Browner was beyond stupid on 3rd and forever.

All the BS personal foul calls all over football are making it nearly unwatchable.

I was SHOCKED there was no PI called on the 4th down final play.

I mean, Browner was in the area. Seems to be all it takes.

I didn't like a couple of the personal foul calls, but overall I thought the refs were pretty fair in this one. There were too many flags but the team needs to take responsibility for it and fix them.

Disagree. The zebras had as bad of a game today as our O-coord and offensive line had today. Piss poor!

I totally expected that too.

The refs are ruining the games but they're only enforcing the rules put upon them by Roger Goodell and his player safety campaign.

No one wants to see these guys get hurt but it's getting insane now, they get paid millions of dollars for a reason. It's like telling all the nascar drivers that they can't do over 30 and they can't overtake.

The one on Wright I thought was bogus too.

Gruden begrudginly seemed ok with it, but in his heart he thought no

The defenseless receiver penalties are driving me nuts. A guy goes up for the ball and the defender is supposed to let him catch it? The defender is going full speed to break up the pass.

I know some receivers have been knocked silly by those hits, but that is the risk you take going high in the middle of the field. The defenders need to be able to make a play and not just sit back and watch.
