Can't believe Sherman wasn't called for unnecessary roughness for running into the kicker at the end of the half. If Buffalo loses by three, the Seahawks can thank the refs.
 
This season blows, would win all three of my games this week as long as graham had a somewhat normal game. So instead he produces about 75% of his YTD performance in a single damn game. WTF.

NEWSFLASH: Nobody gives a shit about your fantasy team other than yourself.

At this point I don't understand how people can be surprised by the refs ruining games. It seems that every week there are games that the refs clearly have a bias for one team and are officiated in completely lopsided ways.
 
This is perfect.

terrible call by the refs.

....still glad the Seattle Russell Wilsons won, though. 😀

Taylor looked awesome, by the way. Very difficult to tackle and plan for, like that troll Wilson from previous seasons.

That was a weird sequence of events. At first I thought Sherman got a piece of the ball which would explain why they didnt call roughing, but it didnt look like he did. Kinda hard to believe he didnt touch the ball with that jump and the way the ball fell short, so I guess from the refs vantage point they couldnt tell. I dont blame Sherman though, as he was gonna get flagged for offsides, so make him kick it again. 15 yards doesnt matter at that point because of the time left in the half. But the refs didnt blow the whistle until after Sherman hit the kicker. As soon as he went offsides he was unabated, so I dont know why they didnt blow the whistle asap. What the refs really screwed up was charging the Bills an injury timeout. That kinda discombobulated Bills. I looked like Carpenter faked the injury, so the refs had no choice when team came out to check on him. I dont know what they are supposed to do at that point. The reason they do it that way is to stop people from faking injuries to get free timeouts. If Carpenter was legitimately hurt that really puts them at a disadvantage. Such a strange sequence of events.

Although thats arguably not even the strangest thing to happen in the week.

He touched the ball.
 
The NFL has become unwatchable. I watch most of the games from the team I root for, and maybe 20 minutes of weekly highlights of the other games. The rest is a boring, confused, sloppy mess.
 
Imagine that, Seahacks get more calls to win a game. So often this happens. Not only the terrible calls at the end, Grahams first td (which was a great catch) had obvious holding by the right tackle. Arm wrapped around the defenders neck.

Then the refs screwed the Bills twice on the same play. Obvious personal foul, and then hitting them with a delay of game when the ref stood over the ball.

Only a complete idiot, or someone extremely ignorant would argue that the Seahacks don't get the vast majority of calls to win games. That's three this year given to them at the end of games. Pathetic by the refs. I rarely root for the Pats, but I hope they destroy the Seahacks.
