Not blaming the refs for this, but...

That was some really terrible reffing all around. Missed Percy stepping out, missed many obvious calls, many phantom calls made on both sides... That was an atrocious example of so-called professional refereeing. I hope they get a week off next week without p;ay, unless they're scheduled for the ninners game. They could bring their random foul-calling to that game.

The holding on Malcolm was iffy but I think it was legit. He looked like he wasn't paying attention then "oh! My guy is going to run downfield!" Pay attention Malcolm!

Yep, it looks like he actually grabbed his facemask and turned his head. They call that every time.

I hang this loss solely on the Defense. That being said, it seemed to me that their offensive line was mugging our pass rushers on almost every play, and the refs couldn't seem to find their yellow hankies.

For me the "excuses" for this loss go to;

1. 110-120 degree field heat. Most of our players were gassed, several had to be taken out for cramping.
2. Harvin's 51 TD run. I think the Seahawks scored too quick, and if the offense takes another 3 minutes off the clock to score that TD... I think the defense would have played a little bit better but after that score SD gassed them pretty quick.
3. SD fumbles 3 times and they recover all 3. Seattle fumbles once and loses it. Seahawks will allow offenses to march down the field, dink and dunk their way with the ability to force and capitalize on turnovers.

The Offense couldn't sustain long drives, the defense couldn't get off the field, and the heat just amplified the difficulty of everything going on.

Might want to rethink your title. The Seahawks got outplayed in the heat today. It's really that simple. Refs had nothing to do with it. Give props to SD. That's part off their HFA.

So, which part of "Not blaming the refs for this" makes you think I'm blaming the refs for this? I'm just commenting on the truly amateur level of reffing, the likes of which are rarely seen outside the Pac-12. It went both ways, and it kept on all game.
