I'm glad we got away with some holding

[fenderbender123]

All the other teams in the NFL get away with it. We never seem to partake in this leniancy. So I hope to see more of it.

 

[Jerhawk]

It was a great acting job by Hutchinson and a makeup call for that outrageous intentional grounding call, as well as the OPI against Tre Brown. No remorse.

Lions lost. Seahawks won. On to Week 3

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Refs were brutal for both sides. Let Detroit fans whine about it.

 

[Boohman14]

The "hold" was questionable at best. Good non-call. I was so sick of Olsen's voice by the end of the game as it was. He didn't need to throw weak controversy afterward.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Score more points. Don't let the opponent go the length of the field in OT. Do more to win. Excuses and blaming one call doesn't change the fact that the Hawks on the game. F that guy.

 

[rjdriver]

Even the drive killing call on Parkinson was questionable. Looked like well within 5 yards that the contact was made. Plenty of bad calls to go around on both sides if you ask me.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Some legit ticky tack crap calls on BOTH teams. For Olsen to even go there is hilarious. Shut your Pie Hole Greg.

 

[Ruminator]

The things the Raiders used to get away with back in the day...

 

[AROS]

Greg is annoying as hell. I can't stand listening to his whiny voice for 3 hours.

 

[Optimus25]

the reason the hold wasn't called is because Hutchinson performed a rip technique. Although it is a 50/50 in my opinion that went our way, the rules are clear when you use rip technique that holding very likely may not be called.

Someone needs to hand Olsen a Pete Carroll doll and ask him where the bad man hurt him.

You stole 8M from us dude, maybe let it go.

A receiver may not initiate a block more than 1 yard beyond the line of scrimmage before the pass is thrown on a pass play where the pass crosses the line of scrimmage before being caught.

A defender may not maintain contact with a receiver more than 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage during any pass play.

Different rules for receivers vs. defenders.

Parkinson initiated contact (blocked) well beyond 1 yard. Good call.

If you want to be technical, then it's not really PI on Witherspoon when he's on the field and the receiver runs through his spot, but yet that was the call.

Personally, I don't expect perfection from referees, I just want to see things called the same both ways. I think that was mostly done on Sunday.

As for the holding stuff, they weren't really calling offensive holding that game, and that's perfectly fine as there were holds going on all day. If they had called the final hold after letting it go all day long, I'd have been pissed, because as an official, you have to call it consistently all day.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the input!

That call was for having his arms around the receiver and using that to turn him a bit, not for simple contact.

 

[irfuben32]

I was happy about the no call because I have consistently seen worse done to our D Linemen that is not called.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

At the end of the game, let them play a little more. Can't stand the ticky tack crap that impacts the games.

 

[kidhawk]

But the receiver initiated the contact well past where it was legal, thus it could have easily been offsetting penalties there. I don't think that the call was necessarily wrong, I was merely pointing out a technicality.

 

[FattyKnuckle]

The Venn diagram of people who now say “let them play” and people who’d say that if the teams were reversed is two very faintly touching circles.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Would you rather they get ticky tack like crazy at the end of the games, or swallow the whistle a little more with the game on the line?
