I think contact had already initiated at this point, and his foot isn't down yet

I think otherwise.

Pass Interference. One of those subjective calls that should be eliminated. If you want to catch the ball, get open. If you want to have your receiver catch the ball, throw it in front of him. None of this streak down the side and I'll throw it short so you can get the call. If they outlaw the tush-push then they should consider short throws uncatchable and not throw a flag because the receiver slams on the brakes. Why is spiking the ball to stop the clock not intentional grounding?

Lots of things could be changed but won't be until the money stops rolling in.

I agree with a lot of that, especially the short passes. I think that one's coming, but we'll see. There still needs to be some level of pass interference, though... Otherwise, they can just tackle receivers every snap and get rid of the ability to pass altogether.

Keep the no contact past five yards and make it a ten yard penalty.

Looks like a clean hit to me. Hit the shoulder pad, helmet was secondary and barely a factor.

Plus he was heading to the down marker

I hate to root against the local, but Pete's pain could help the LA RAMS pull off a magical run.

Your posting habits tell a different story.

But yeah - I see no scenario where Seahawks are in the playoffs with how things are currently going.

I may not be a SF fan, but Purdy is a guy I can root for. I like CMC and Deebo too.

Hey man, I WANT the Seahawks to be good. Footballs more fun when games are more fun.

Evan B · Dec 4, 2023

Exactly. Outside of my reffing gripes, I try to focus on the players and what makes them special. More fun than gloating and shit talk for me.

They ought to send that bum to tne Seahawks. Oh, and those Debo and McCaffrey slackers, too. That'll teach everyone.

Meanwhile, in Cleveland, I didn't mind seeing DW in the stands while Flacco represented the Browns at QB. We took a vote. He can stay.
