We were horrible but don't let the refereeing slide either. They extended multiple drives with soft calls against our D. And then the 3rd Geno pick was clear defensive holding.

Seahawks were ass but so were the refs

Yeah, what pissed me off most about that last pick is that is exactly the type of play I want to see more out of Grubb and they basically let the Rams get a free turnover on it.

That was the type of anticipatory type throw that we were so good at the last half of last season that we've seen way too little of in this new offense and if the defense doesn't get away with an obvious holding call, that could easily have been a TD. (I mean, ideally that's DK Metcalf running that play, not AJ Barner, and DK probably wouldn't have sold the fact that he'd been held a little better.)

Barner was literally turned by the defender

The announcers predictably said nothing

Geno was trash but you can’t completely fault him there

Ya the refs threw all those picks. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with that turnstile of an O-line. Get real. Until you replace the career backup QB and spend some money on a O-line things won't change.

I don't fault Geno at all there. That's the type of throw I want him to be making. He isn't supposed to wait to see his guy open because if he does the ball is going to be late.

We just got screwed and as you said, he got pretty well turned around, so honestly, I have no idea why the refs missed it other than the generic 'refs suck'.

Officiating sucks no matter who is playing. The Chiefs are the biggest beneficiaries from crappy officiating

I don't think I have EVER seen a defensive lineman called for defensive holding while engaged with a blocker. Barner was supposed to block and disengage, and failed to do so. I don't think that was bad officiating on that particular play.

Hard to disengage when you are being held

Also, the ball was in the air and headed his way

It was a penalty

Yeah, I recall 3 bad calls (even though we benefitted from some of these bad calls it dilutes the game:

1. Nacua penalty and ejection. Not even a punch, IMO.

2. The defensive PI call against the Rams.

3. The roughing the passer call against Hall.

Williams had a pancake block called a hold

Florida and loving GOP country!
What really gets me is these little ticky tack calls like facemask penalties where the guy barely grabs the guy. This is a physical sport, and they are taking that out of it. If it is borderline, then let it slide. These refs are like traffic cops on the last day of the month just looking to give someone a ticket for 5 miles over the limit.

Extremely one sided. Shoot, my Rams friend even said they got the bulk of the calls when it mattered. Didn't see that coming :ROFLMAO:
