The refs suck....is that what you want to hear??? Everyone knows it and has been complaining for months about it. Maybe now the NFL will actually do something and concede some of their points in the negotiations and end the lockout. However, people will continually watch these games no matter what, even if these refs are only qualified to ref pee wee football games.
The title of this thread is The Seahawks Own Your Face:
What happened was that Erin Rodgers got sacked 8 or 9 times in the first half. That was and is fucking awesome. The Seahawks owned Mr. 4 yard pass all night long. CenturyLink Field is the home of the "12th man" for being the loudest fans in the NFL. So basically, they made Erin Rodgers their "13th BITCH".
Clay Matthews reminds me of Lattimer, lol on him posting Godell's phone number. Crazy hence Lattimer.
You are somehow making less sense but what could I expect, yes rodgers was sacked a lot in this game and somehow...the point...is?
You do realize the whole game was decided over a blown call while SEA was on offense, right?
Not to mention SEA was a LOT less effective defensively in the 2nd half, GB finally started moving the ball around and ate up a ton of clock, this is why even the announcers had mentioned that SEA had only 6 plays deep into the 2nd half.
THE LAST PLAY SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. On two of the Packers's scoring drives, two third down unsuccessful conversions were turned into first downs by TERRIBLE calls. First, they called pass interference on a run play (lol) it was really illegal hands to the face, but either way it was on the opposite side of where the play was going and it should NOT have been called.
Then, they called a terrible PI on the CB breaking on the slant where he didn't even touch him until the ball was thrown. If these weren't called, the Seahawks could have burned clock, scored, or did something. The last play would NOT have happened.
Or what about that roughing the passer call when GB intercepted it at SEA 30 or the Shields PI on 2nd and 30 that gave SEA a 1st down.(Technically he hit the Rodgers below the knees but yet that call is rarely called by real refs) or the Brower personal foul when he had a huge cheap shot at Jennings, and Jennings got called for it also even though he didn't do anything.
Blown call or right call??? It's a judgement call, by horrible judges. One ref called it a touchdown and the other called it a touch back. The last play pretty much summed up the ineptitude of these refs but the whole season has been this way, so go blame the NFL for not giving a crap.
Basically Clay Mathews is crazy like Lattimer and will be fined for posting that number. Erin Rodgers pushed away a camera man walking off the field and nothing was said about it.

And then there's this: The NFL pulled in $9.3 billion in revenues last year. In 2010, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he hoped that the NFL would hit $25 billion in annual revenue by 2025. Assuming that 10.5 percent a year growth rate -- and the numbers are surely going to be aggressive with the league pulling in $4.9 billion worth of television rights fees annually starting in 2014 -- the league will be bringing in $16.1 billion worth of business by 2018.
"If the league pays the referees roughly $40 million a year, which is an estimate based on the referees' offer and the league's idea of expanding crews, that's 0.2 percent of the revenue the league takes in.
Now if all the owners are like Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones -- who says mistakes are going to happen anyway -- roll the dice and pocket the $200,000 savings per year, per team.
But it's hard given the league's growth for fans to accept that that's the best option."
Are you fucking serious? 200k thousand per team per year to get the "Real Refs" back.....what a bunch of cheap, rich bastards, who are not interested in the safety of their players(see all the scrums, after the plays have ended and all the cheap shots people are getting away with). The NFL's integrity is on the line with this crap.
Maybe Mister Jones needs that 200k to pay his son-in-law to clean his glasses....

Unless this dipshit reporter is sitting in on the negotiations or has experience in complex labor negotiations, he really isn't qualified to open his cock garage. I'm sure it's vastly more complicated than simply, "giving the refs what they want".
While something obviously needs to be done, I can't really blame the NFL for not just bending over and taking it up the ass from the refs. That would set a horrific example for not only future NFL negotiations, but in other pro sports negotiations as well. The league can't reward them for striking. Hopefully both sides will give a little. The refs get a better deal and the league doesn't look like pussy's.
Americans, for the most part are stupid and will forget about this in a week or so. I saw a clip of some dipshit Packers fan who said he was so fed up with the NFL and that he was done with it and wanted a refund. Or replacement tickets. He was so disgusted and finished with the league that he wanted MORE tickets to NFL games. Wow, shithead. Way to take a stand.
The funny thing (not obvious) in the above picture is the ref on the right is signalling TB after lifting his arms, while the ref on the right is signalling touch by back waving his arms across his head - this picture makes it appear they are both signalling TD.
lol NFL - bet on stocks!
Pete Carroll is the only person on the planet who thinks they made a good call. Have some integrity and say we got away with one. Pathetic
Is the white ref who signaled td the same ref that called pass int on Shields when he never touched the receiver and got mugged by the wr? It was the same side of the field. If so this guy has to be investigated because these guys know they have a temp job you cant think that some of them wouldnt take a big payoff.
They didn't have all of their timeouts, but they had two and I thought they had 1. We jumped the gun obv and I don't feel the least bit bad about it. Stopping by that bar in Pioneer Square to watch the last play with a huge group of others and then seeing them all going crazy in the streets was fantastic.
This makes up for a couple of years ago when we left with the game in hand and somehow lost it while we were in the parking garage.
Best morning ever
I have a seahangover and I love it!
OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE NFL
While the ball is in the air, (Golden) Tate can be seen shoving Green Bay cornerback Sam Shields to the ground. This should have been a penalty for offensive pass interference, which would have ended the game. It was not called and is not reviewable in instant replay.
When the players hit the ground in the end zone, the officials determined that both Tate and Jennings had possession of the ball. Under the rule for simultaneous catch, the ball belongs to Tate, the offensive player. The result of the play was a touchdown.
Replay Official Howard Slavin stopped the game for an instant replay review. The aspects of the play that were reviewable included if the ball hit the ground and who had possession of the ball. In the end zone, a ruling of a simultaneous catch is reviewable. That is not the case in the field of play, only in the end zone.
Referee Wayne Elliott determined that no indisputable visual evidence existed to overturn the call on the field, and as a result, the on-field ruling of touchdown stood. The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review.
The result of the game is final.

"According to a press release from the owner of the site, it’s not necessarily a “gay cowboy dating site”, as it looks “serve the needs of straight daters as well”, as long as said straight daters want to f**k a homosexual cowboy guy. No matter what, the site will continue to serve 0% of people looking for Orie Lemon’s FR stats.
I’d hate to see what’s going on at Bears.com."

I was lol'g at the NFL and thinking of the smile on TonyB's face when that happened. As a Steeler fan who possiblybenefited from some favorable rulings in that SB, I was happy for him.
This is just incorrect the official with the better view didnt signal touchdown he signaled touch back, so the head official is supposed to get together with them and work it out. If both of them said TD and were both horribly wrong it would be easier to swallow, but why is the guy with the worse position given the call over the guy who has the full view. The guy who signaled TD couldnt even see the ball. I agree with some of the Packers they think he thought GB was the offense and signalled TD that is the only explanation outside of corruption to make that call.
LOL at Tate in the post-game interview.
"Did you push off?"
"I don't know what you talkin' 'bout!"
Sure, bud.
