Refs Ruined the Game

[Spohawks]

Did the refs call for fake punt? Did refs create all the false starts?

Was that a fake punt or did he feel they were to close because he held it like it was a punt forever before running.

Go get your facts straight it was not a fake punt it was a broken play that Dickson tried to salvage, how many false starts were there??? 1?? 2??

Did you actually watch the game or just read some articles??

 

[FrodosFinger]

The refs were a huge deciding factor in today’s outcome. No simpler way of putting it

Doesn't excuse officials ignoring blatant holds on one team while calling ticky tack phantom holds on the other

Yes, actually I did. Why is it refs only get it right when the calls are for the Hawks or Hawks get a win. Hawks are right about where I thought they'd be.

Watch any NFL game there so many offensive holding calls that go uncalled. If you think the refs are the Hawks problem then you really don't know football.

well if you did and you have done ANY research you know it wasn't a fake punt so why post that apologizing for bad officiating??

Pete Carroll: Botched punt wasn’t a fake

One of the mystifying plays in the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 Sunday came on fourth down just minutes before halftime. The Seahawks, facing 4th & 9 from...

For all those blaming Pete.....

It wasn't a fake punt. Not every screw up is Petes fault. https://www.fieldgulls.com/2022/10/9/23395841/pete-carroll-botched-punt-wasnt-a-fake-rugby-style-seattle-seahawks-saints-fumble-taysom-hill

The Saints TD where the ball popped out was a legit TD by all the applicable rules and interpretations. No screw job on that one.
It also looked like the receiver got injured on the play and let go of the ball because of the pain of whatever was injured, but that was AFTER completing the catch.

I have no opinion on the (phantom?) holding call on Cross, haven't looked at it, and same for the DK called-fumble. Super baffling how Dickson thought it was a good idea to run instead of punt from inside the Hawks 20 and after being set back 5 more yards by a penalty. It's one thing to make a 4th-and-2, but 4th-and-7 (or whatever it actually was) is a whole different deal and much harder to make.

He thought it was going to be blocked because of a missed assignment and tried to move to a better position but then couldn't get it away. These things happen.

Thanks Rainger, I'll go with that if that's what the official word from the team was. It aligns with how he seemingly tried to get off an Australian Rules kick.

Okay just keep thinking refs are the problem.

Okay just keep thinking refs are the problem.

They aren't THE problem, but they are a big problem especially in close games.

Even Lockett called them out. You must know more than him, huh?

 

[Ozzy]

The officiating was bad but so is giving up 235 yards rushing and that many points to an offense with its backup QB and missing its two best receivers most of the game. We had multiple chances to win and didn't.

 

[James in PA]

Poor officiating and injuries ruin this game. We saw both yesterday. The refs were indeed a problem and probably influenced the outcome of the game. But all a W would have done is give us false hope and mask the fact that this defense completely and utterly sucks. The team can't and won't go anywhere with the D playing like this.

Started watching football before he was born, so ya maybe.

If you want to keep whinging about refs be my guests, just don't get all butthurt because some of us refuse to join your pitty party.

The officiating was blatantly bad. Nobody wants to see refs interject with phantom calls in close games. It ruins the integrity sports

Cool, you know more than the player who plays the games from all your couch experience.

Well you should just stop watching then because if you don't score enough the refs can steer it if they want, been happening for years.

Been watching since the 70s, seen the changes he probably hasn't. Now don't you have a crying room waiting for you.
