Lotsa Favorable Calls ..

for a change -- Hope we haven't used them all up.

All the flags helped the defense rest

I have a feeling that the refs will go ham on seattle next week to try and make up for the no call in the last falcons game that everyone has been whining about.

Not close to why we won. We won because Rawls broke the Seahawks postseason rushing record. BOOM!

We got the better end of the officiating, but that was still unquestionably a beat-down. Good game, hope it rolls over into next week.

We did not get "favorable" calls. Stop listening to the outside noise. Just because Chris Collinsworth doesn't call out the missed calls for us doesn't mean it didn't happen

On the Paul Richardson catch, it could be argued the defender was not playing the ball and was interfering. Therefore, offsetting penalties

On the Russell Wilson block in the back, by NFL rule it was not technically a block in the back

On the pass interference, I give that. But that assumes the defender would have been able to dive for the catch and maintain possession. I highly doubt that

We won fair and square. Haters can cry about it

Detroit got away with a few things too. If the game is called fairly they only score 3 points.

And the media can bite me. They didn't care when we got screwed over in New Orleans. Screw them.

I thought this game was called very fair. Welcome to playoff football where the refs are encouraged the let the teams play as much as possible. There were plenty of No Calls BOTH ways. To say we got this win because of refs is ignorant at best...

Someone please dig up the block in the back that wasn't called on the James Harrison INT return in the SB against the Cardinals and compare that to Russ's little boop block.

Definitely. Hopefully the "Seattle refs" show up next week in Atlanta.

hands to the face by Shead. nope

Prich had his facemask and head ripped off on his second one handed catch. no call.

Frank Clark grabbed and thrown to the ground. no call.

How many uncalled false starts?

It was a reasonably officiated playoff game. The refs didn't make themselves the center of attention.

Really think this is a non issue for either team. They missed some calls for us too. Specifically a nasty facemask against PRich on his second catch.

There were literally like 3 straight false starts uncalled in the 2nd quarter on one drive.

Nary a mention from ol Chris.

We won without the calls..Thats the best the doubters got?

I really don't like the judgment plays.

No PI because the ball was uncatchable?

Head scratcher, perhaps it was uncatchable because, the defender was guilty of pass interference..

We got some calls but still beat them without them.

I lost count of how many times their RT moved early, yet it was never called once.

The refs definitely helped the Hawks in this one...but oh well

Hawks got away with several non calls. Minimize it all you want, they did. Rawls rushing td for example. Notice the blatant hold by Ifedi on the slow mo replay? The pass down the sideline against the Hawks and the Hawks D back pinned the receivers arm down.. that's PI, guy probably wouldn't have caught the ball but he would have put a hand on it if the grab didn't happen. PRich's great TD grab...obvious facemask as well as DPI. Should have been a replay of down.

Hawks got the benefit of the doubt tonight on penalties, if you don't think so you need to take the homer glasses off. I hate seeing this as it seems the Hawks are always in some controversial call situation that some believe impacts the outcome. Not the Hawks fault, it's the referees fault but still. This team just cant escape controversy.

Hawks will not get those calls verse Atlanta.
