Well Done, CBS (sarcasm)

Seahawk beat the Colt! Now must beat the Ram!

The non call on JSN was egregious as well.

JSN could have filed assault charges he was so manhandled on that play

Then Jobe reaches around the receiver to tip a pass and he's flagged (10 seconds after the play) to extend the drive

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Beyond maddening. They should have done the decibel meter for the volume of the booing. It was crazy loud at the stadium.
These non-calls just kept piling up, along with the anger. I'm sure the Hawks will get the "sorry, we messed up" email. As if that matters

 

[Hawkpower]

Would he have? Not trying to argue, but watching that game, what makes you think they would have actually called a flag on Indy?

Colt DB could have handcuffed him, punched him and dragged him off the field with no flag

As obvious a fix as I've seen in a long time

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Sadly, I have to agree. This sh** is ruining a great game.

The "L" isn't that impor-ant

 

[ivotuk]

"Sea" "Awks!" "Sea" "Awks!" "Sea" "Awks!" "Sea" "Awks!

The Defender was basically PUNCHING JSN while he was on the ground.

I was like "WTF?"

That had me heated…

He got tackled AFTER that as well. Whistle had clearly blown while the defender is punching JSN and raking his facemask, then another guy comes in and tackles him to the ground. All while the clock is running. They could have thrown three flags: two personal fouls, and a delay of game penalty. The ref was literally standing right there and watched it all go down and nothing. And then we have the announcers saying "that's just a smart football move by a savvy vet" about the Colts defender. WHAT??

And of course the broadcasting crew was like, "I don't know what Seattle and the crowd are upset about. That was a savvy play by the Colts."

Exactly! It was mind blowing. I've never had a strong opinion about that announcing crew before this, but after that game they jumped up onto my shit list for sure.

 

[Optimus25]

Well, I thought if Shaheed was actually attempting to catch the ball instead of looking for a ref and waiving at one, he would have gotten the call.

This exactly. As a WR you have to fight toward the ball no matter what.

Throwing your hands up is the worse thing to do. It almost gave the DB license to stay engaged and definitely contributed to the no call.

 

[HawaiiD]

For me the most blatant bs call was the one where the colts te or wr caught the ball with only 1 foot inbounds right in front of the ref.
Wtf? Did the ref drink a couple of shots before the game?

 

[James in PA]

Exactly! It was mind blowing. I've never had a strong opinion about that announcing crew before this, but after that game they jumped up onto my shit list for sure.

It's exactly why I created the "F these refs and broadcasting crew" thread. The blatant Cinderella story and pulling for the underdog BS was way over the top. The CBS guys could have been the Colts radio announcers and the refs could have been the Super Bowl XL crew.

[SweepSanFran]

Seatte always gets stuck with the worst broadcasting crew available. Charles Davis is a** cant stand listening to him suck off the other team every time he comes up here. Where is Raible when we need him?

 

[Ruminator]

You almost wonder if they're dreaming of a 31-team NFL. Yes, you're correct in which city wouldn't have a team in that dream. But... what gives?! Why? Why is Seattle so unlikeable these days? It wasn't that long ago when the Seahawks were actually one of the top "America's Teams."
