Officiating Saturday Night

[CostaRicaHawk]

I truly did think they were going to get more involved in the game last night. For the most part I think they stayed out of it and let us play. That does not mean that there weren't calls that were not made, but I think I would rather have it that way then too much involvement.

 

[slateman77]

I agree totally...there really wasn't much laundry on the field last night..bout time.!!

 

[ivotuk]

They totally missed a blatant face mask that yanked our RB completely around by his head.

They missed a blatant DPI in the EZ on 4th down.

Nobody is that incompetent.

I echo @ivotuk here.

They also called a very bad penalty on Zabel. A holding call where he wasn't holding at all which negated a nice run.

 

[cymatica]

Seemed fine to me. I don't care if they miss calls as long as they aren't just focusing on one team.

 

[pmedic920]

The calls made were not bad and didn’t have much of an impact.

I’m not at all liking some of the miss calls that should have been made.

About 3 were blatantly obvious, and I have to believe they weren’t called with an intention.

YMMV

I saw some crazy stat that the Seahawks are dominant straight up and against the spread when Vinovich’s crew calls our games and the Digits are awful with them. I hope we get their crew for 3 more weeks. Haha.

With Myers purposefully missing the 2 FGs to keep the score close so that the Refs didn't have too is the reason for the lack of yellow flags !!!

 

[kidhawk]

They weren’t perfect Saturday and some stuff was really bad (like a spot 1-2 yards past where they went out but all in all it was far from the worst I’ve seen in recent weeks.

They let Jennings absolutely mug Spoon on the sidelines without a peep.

Yeah but Thomas got that lick back

Even the commentators sounded baffled and didn’t agree lol

Yeah flags should’ve been all over. Instead it’s as if they were waiting for our guys to react to throw a flag on Spoon. Instead our boys were disciplined.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Was proud of 21 spoon salute. He walked away.........often.

 

[Followthelegion]

The worst miss was on the deep shot to JSN. First off he gets held when he makes his break to the outside; blatantly and for a prolonged moment. Second, before the ball gets to JSN he jumps into him and is grabbing his right arm.
How you miss both the hold and then the DPI felt very fishy to me.
I also thought the Grey hold looked BS when Seattle were moving down the field to put the game out of reach and the Purdy spot when he went out of bounds was simply bad by that official.

In terms of consistency

This is more plausible than many may want to believe.

I Do NOT believe this actually happened, but I know that it would be easier to get to a single player than an entire officiating crew.

On that Purdy scramble? Ended up 4th and 1 and should have been 4th and a long 2

 

[Seahawkfan80]

I think keeping it close put the steering in our wheelhouse. And they had to keep hands off and let it play out.

You mean block him ?

 

[JustTheTip]

You mean block him ?

Sure, let’s call slamming him to the ground 10 yards out of bounds “blocking”
