Anyone else feel the same? That was just horrible officiating. To me the bigger question is why? Could it have been because of Pete Carroll comments about Michael Bennett as the Las Vegas PD painted a much different picture? I put nothing past this screwed up league.

Let the opinions fly......

What examples of horrible officiating did you see? I was at a parade with my grandaughter for much of the game so I ask b/c the half I saw I didn't see anything amiss

For starters on the pic 6 for a TD a guy put his hand on Rodgers shoulder, contact made on the side of shoulder and they callsed
a block in the back ... same play lane gets pulled to the ground by a packer assumes position on top of the guy and ejected for punching ..no punch thrown. Two separate drive clear pass interference in end zone not called leading to FB. Guys in both and back in NY in shock they wereno calls. A few others in top of this. They took one up the rear by the refs..

Why would the refs care that Bennett is a BLM crazy who anthem protests?

why would they want Green Bay who was probably wagered to high hell as well to prevail? I think NFL is definitely fixed but just don't see why they would rail Seattle because of anthem protests. Watch for a pattern if you believe so. Seattle, GB, Dallas will be the 3 to play for it all this year

The play on the goal line was horrible. Jimmy Graham was mugged in the back of the end zone.

Seattle saw the ball for like a minute and a half in the fourth quarter and they didn't get to touch it the last 6 and a half minutes of the game. They were within 1 score to tie the game and couldn't do it. Refs were harsh on two plays for Seattle and I'm not referring to the block in the back. The defender shouldn't have shoved Rodgers, period. The PI in the end zone was marginal and both sides could argue the call. The ejection however, was uncalled for...either way, I think Seattle needs to realize that Wilson got put on his ass too much and the run game was shit instead of crying about the refs. They're lucky Rodgers and company wasn't clicking on offense.

They did get screwed, but it was probably just bad calls. I don't buy it was intentional or anything. The non call of DPI with graham doesn't have much to do with him. Maybe the fast ejection could subconciously be to protect from a team with a reputation for hotheads. But still, probably just SEA getting screwed on bad calls unintentionally

I doubt they were punished because of Bennett.
There are so many instances where this could have happened and it hasn't. Hell they should be madder at the Cowboys for fighting the Elliott issue, it drags it out in public for so long and makes the NFL look bad, just not Elliott and the Cowboys.
