Seahawks got screwed by Lions getting robbed

[Welshers2]

In case any of you missed it the Lions got robbed in one of the worst calls ever. This means they now have nothing to play for next week vs Minnesota which is really bad for the Seahawks. The Lions are locked into the 3 seed basically no matter what, so they can rest starters next week. Had they won today they'd have a 30% chance at getting the first seed bye and would still play hard against Minnesota. This really really hurts us because if Minnesota wins out and the Rams win at least 1 of 2 and we only win 1 of 2 we will be eliminated. Before we could have gotten in going 1 for 2 if Minnesota lost to Detroit

Eh Detriot chose to go for it earlier instead taking the easy FGs
It bites you in the ass in the end

If we can't beat Pittsburgh at home and then Arizona when the playoffs are on the line, perhaps we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

yeah but either way the Lions losing today hurts us.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Detroit should have gone for point after touchdown after they were screwed.

I was saying do the kick instead.

I don't think Minny is going to beat GB, personally, but yeah, not the best result for us. (Honestly though, it's probably worse for the Rams if Philly beats the Cards this week.)

yeah that was one of the more head scratching coaching decisions ive ever seen and it will be forgotten about because of the officiating. why the hell would he think his odds of going for 2 from the 7 are better then OT

 

[Fresno Hawk]

As long as the Hawks take care of business the next 2 games it won't matter.

Although not my attitude this is completely true.

Today's "performance" by the zebras makes me really question the integrity of the game as it relates to vegas. We need to go back to the days when gambling and the NFL were not in bed with each other.

Who cares about the refs. It made no sense to go for two there. Detroit doesnt care. They're in anyways.

Oh ok this somehow justifies a bad call then? Get out of here

IMO it did from the original spot. Going for it from the 7 yard line tho? One of the worst coaching decision Ive ever seen

Pretty much this. Detroit already helped out last week, it's Seattle's turn to help themselves

 

[mrblitz]

Detroit covered though... so there's that...

It’s gotten blatantly obvious.

Sports books are advertising during games on TV, and they are advertising at stadiums via signage.

Sooner or later, some outlet will offer the right guy enough money and it will get blasted out in public.
Said “guy” may get “offed” for doing so, but the secret won’t be kept forever.

If pharmaceutical and insurance companies, and governments, are willing to do much worse than steering games for profit, then I'd imagine the NFL wouldn't bat an eye

This.

If anything, having zero margin for error will hopefully give them the focus they need.

Uh... when were those days?

 

[Optimus25]

Nothing matters at all besides winning out. We’re nearly the hottest we’ve been all year and if we can’t put together two Ws now, as cliche as it is, making the playoffs would be a travesty to the sport and we deserve absolutely jack split.
