NFL head of officials Dean Blandino said the refs missed an illegal batting call at the end of the Seattle Seahawks victory and Detroit Lions should have had 1st-and-goal.
Oops!
Wilson says it was unintentional, and no penalty. Looks like they did not get ahold of Kj Wright before he gave these quotes:
“As soon as Calvin went down, I saw the ball bouncing, bouncing, bouncing and I was running so I just tried to knock it out,” Wright said.
“I wanted to just knock it out out of bounds and not try to catch it and fumble it,” Wright said. “I just tried to make a good play for my team.”

Whatt????????
Of course it gave them an advantage. It gave them the ball on the 20. As opposed to lions having the ball on the 6 inch line.
If the defender dove for the ball and it bounced off his helmet or shoulder pad and went out its one thing but he blatantly batted the ball out of the EZ with one hand.
Fuckin NFL.... national football liars. Do they ever tell the truth about anything???
the rule is made so that if a lions player is going for the ball at the same time a Seahawks player can't just knock it out of bounds so it's no longer a 50/50 ball. There were no lions players anywhere near the Seahawks LB and he could have grabbed the ball and dos cartwheels with it before anyone touched him.
Seattle needs to rid themselves of that idiot OC.
They got the best TE in the world and are making him block which is not his game.
They trade off an all pro center and dont use the weapon they they got in return.
That pass at the end of the game was dumb.
They got lucky and completed it.
If that would have been incomplete Detroit would have had plenty of time and great FP.
I am seeing more dumb game management moves this season then I have ever seen in my life.
WTF is wrong with Seattle?
IF you dont want JG give him back to the Saints please.
