The problem with officiating this year in Seahawks game, isn't that the refs often seem to demoralize the Seahawks after big plays on either side of the ball. That's normal for the last few years.
The problem is that for the most part is that they are allowing Seahawks opponents to get away with way more stuff even blatant, egregious infractions. That's what makes it seem like its a one-sided affair and has the Seahawks walking on eggshells at times instead of just playing their style of football.
With injuries and loss of talent via free agency, Seahawks don't have the depth (or even the luck) anymore to really overcome ticky tack officiating of the NFL Parity Monster.
The NFL is pretty much forcing the Seahawks to be a finesse team and they don't have a finesse roster or a finesse philosophy. And think this is why we've seen an inconsistent Seahawks team and the identity struggle of the Seahawks trying to find a balance between finesse and physical.
Its like the Seahawks have to pertain to Boxing rules only, while the other team can go UFC.
