Reason the fumble wasn't reviewed and no national outcry

We aren't a national darling team, that's why there is no media fuss about the fumble not being reviewed. If it were Patriots/Broncos or Packers/Bears or Cowboys/(Insert team name here) it would have been reviewed, or else the media would have lynched the refs. Remember the last time we faced a certain team with a HUGE national fanbase and a controversial call went against them to end the game? The media was literally demanding the outcome be reversed.

.........and still bitching about it 2 years later. I've literally seen articles where it is stated as FACT that we didn't really win that game, with NO mention of anything about controversy.

The media and NFL hate Seattle, there's no question. We have to blow teams out or the refs will keep it close. We have the same record as the 9ers (yes I know we had a bye) and that's what the media and people want, drama.. MNF was a prime example.... 3 TDs called back cuz they wanted to keep it close. They tried today everytime Lynch ran the ball. I had to wait 15 seconds to celebrate cuz I'm waiting for flags

Yep, it's absurd. The Packers can do no wrong in a certain part of the media's eyes. Also remember last year when the media threw a huge hissy fit over the 8-8 Steelers being "robbed" because apparently the Chargers had too many players on one side of the ball on a Chiefs missed FG Attempt? Or how Peyton Manning was "robbed of a chance to score" in OT against us because of "unfair OT rules"? It's like these media favorite teams should have their own special section of the rule book.

Oh so we can't talk about a horrible call the same day of the game? But we have to put up with 2+ years about hearing about the "Fail Mary"... come on, we will obviously get over this game but it just happened so why not talk about it?

The reason there's not a huge outcry is because it really wasn't that controversial. Should it have been reviewed? Sure. Would it have been overturned? Not a chance. There was no clear evidence we had possession of the fumble. And guess what? A Ram came out of the pile with the ball.

Suck it up and accept the loss. This is getting embarrassing.
