Couldn't agree more. What a stupid, stupid idea. As if the NFL doesn't show enough pink in October. Does it really need to extend to the penalty flags?

With all due respect to my fellow women, I'd be perfectly happy if BCA was limited to one game.

This ^^^

Or perhaps if they just kept the flag color red. Too damn confusing at present, and a potential momentum killer.

They're actually Yella Fella. Whaturyanew or just color blind?

I honestly think that Wilson is running when things break down more, as we tend to send our guys deep, and after the Houston game, he's trying to make things happen more with his feet when protection breaks down too quickly. In noticing this, my first thought was "man, I hope he doesn't start running so fast he misses reads". Then again, it's effective and can win us some games. He still isn't taking many shots. He took less shots running this game than scrambling and throwing last game.

The blocked FG was probably the difference, that and a handful of calls. Then you have Wilson overthrowing Tate; we still could've made some plays to win and we just didn't get it done. The defense looked gassed in the 2nd half, while their defense seemed to get more energized in the 2nd half.

-- Yes the refs blew some major bad calls. Like SBXL*, I think the Seahawks still had their chances to overcome those calls but did not.

-- If we were to play the game "I knew we were going to lose when..." I would finish that sentence with "we kept settling for field goals instead of touchdowns."

-- For as wonderful as it is and incredibly lucky that we are to have Russell Wilson, and no doubt will he take us to the Promised Land, my man seriously needs to work on those overthrows.

-- I too saw on replays several times when Wilson had a wide open receiver on some of his running plays. 102 yards rushing by a QB is amazing by any NFL standards but as much as he says he likes to throw first and running is his last option, I feel like he was quick to run on several plays. Designed? Perhaps. Still thought there were some high percentage/high gain throws he left out there.

-- Even the LOB is allowed to have an off day. To me, it makes that chip on their collective shoulders even bigger. First casualty of that effect? Titans next Sunday.

-- Welcome back Bruuuuuuuuuuce!

-- I loved how Jimmy Johnson post game still had nothing but love for the Seahawks. He said to paraphrase that the Seahawks are still one of the best teams in the NFL and they will still win their home games and nobody wants to face Seattle in the playoffs. I loved during halftime how he said that he would never pick against the Seahawks again this year. "Whoever the Seahawks are facing next week, I pick the Seahawks!"

-- That blocked FG for a TD was the true difference in the game.

-- Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson are as advertised, period.

-- How about some props for our M*A*S*H OL? That being the major story line pre game, they came to play and Cable had those boys prepared. Props!

-- If you would have told me both RW and Lynch run for over 100 yards I would have definitely assumed a victory.

-- Very glad my daughter was not at home today. A few choice F Bombs could be heard loud and clear in the Aros Household.

-- Looking forward to that first away game blow out. My poor ticker can't take much more of these Heart Attack games on the road!

-- Keep your chins up, 12. We're 4-1 and soon to be 5-1. Book it.

I concur with all of this. He made a lot of great plays, but Russell's accuracy was an issue today, especially on that missed TD to Golden. Ref incompetence aside, we had plenty of opportunities to win today but couldn't quite seal the deal. I'm bummed, but not despondent (much).
