Rams @ Seahawks celebration thread

[Mackeyser]

I went back and re-watched the play. Hard to see where he hit the ground because Reynolds was in the way of the camera, but it looked much closer than a yard (and they never showed it from a different angle.) If anything, it looked like he was about a foot short. Also, on the 3rd down run by Gurley, up the middle, it appeared he was beyond the line to gain after the initial hit because he was on top of the defender when he went down. I am surprised both of these plays were not reviewed by replay because they were both under the 2 minute mark.

If they'd reviewed them, the Rams would have won and game over.

This just shows how good the Rams are. The Seahawks were allowed to lead with the helmet on multiple plays, they were allowed to body slam our receivers (two of those incidents lead to concussions). The refs constantly spotted the ball to the benefit of the Seahawks, either giving them first downs or showing us short. And you can't say the network wasn't part of it because they specifically didn't show close ups of a NUMBER of calls, including the Gurley run which would have iced the game.

It says a lot that no one sweats the refs because their attitude is "well, if we have to beat both of you, then okay..." and they do it.

I'm too emotional. I'd be losing my damn mind over some of those calls.

Aw, who's kidding who, I was sick as a dog with a migraine that only broke a few hours ago and I was still yelling even as my head felt like Ricky Ricardo's drum...

Pete Carroll over there blaming officiating. Is he out of his phreakin mind?

Are you kidding me?

You don't see that much home cooking in Christmas movies!!!

It makes you wonder doesn't it. When they overturned gurley's td we got to see multiple angles of the play while they were looking at it.

When the wr moore stepped out of bounds then came back into the endzone we saw nothing. One crappy angle from the 30 yard line.

Gurley's 1st down run to ice the game marked 2 yards short. Nothing. No mention of it.

You're freaking me out man. I can see Petey paying the refs a little on the side, or interfering with headsets, but the network coverage too?? This says it's coming from some upper level.... Maybe it's the "competition committee" lol

it's just weird. anybody who watches football knows gurley made the 1st down marker. for it not to be even queried by the commentators, strange.

and not show any replays of the wr stepping out of bounds before catching the td pass, c'mon. there's only 30 cameras inside the stadium. but apparently there was only one angle they could show, much like the pentagon being hit by a plane. one camera. the pentagon.

After five games in 2018, the top two passing leaders in the NFL are Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins. Both were developed by Sean McVay. Drew Brees will play tonight and move into the top five, but this is how it stands for now.

If you'd told me that after 5 weeks, Jared Cook would have more yards receiving than Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen and Rob Gronkowski, I'd have tried to have you committed...

This year is in so many ways the strangest season on record... which, for those that buy into the "hollyweird" trope, this makes the Rams a lock to win it all...

Without social media, it'd be awfully hard for the average person to point out this nonsense to the masses.

At some point, the NFL is going to be forced to stop doing this "every game has to be compelling even if we have to adjust the calls" business or they are going to be caught in a massive scandal that will be equated to game fixing and the Congress would have to get involved as a matter of anti-trust.

The NFL is playing with fire.

If teams suck, then address that and maybe force more sales of franchises. There seem to be enough billionaires that want to buy teams that bad ownership shouldn't be a problem.

they couldn't even beat us with their oh so smart dropkick kick offs

Ol Petey must have thought he was soooo smart ..just reeks of playing scared, i wouldnt expect anything less of pete and crew ..i love reveling in seahawk tears

I was laughing when they were talking about how the shecocks traded up in the draft to draft their secret weapon punter. Snead got Hekker as an UDFA, and Hekker is much better than the guy they drafted. Can their punter throw a pass 45 yards in the air?

No, but neither can their QB...

Being new to this forum this year - I have to say the amount of posts about bad calls against the Rams in this game (blatant OL holding, ball marking by the refs, head-hunting hits) is extremely high. Was this game unusually bad in that regard or does this forum feel it occasionally occurs especially in hostile environment away games.

I’m only speaking for myself. Mostly, I am just venting at something I saw. The Rams playing in Seattle on their turf often feels like they get more of a home field advantage than usual on the calls from the refs. This particular game seemed tough on our receivers as two went out with concussions in short measure. Not everyone agrees with me or each other. It’s mostly conjecture in good fun MOST of the time. Hey this is the NFL and these two teams respect what the other can do. You will have to view for yourself and arrive at your own conclusions. Welcome to the board!

This game had quite a few to complain about, quite a few!

Most are pretty used to the constant holding. It's mentioned, but I don't see anyone bursting a vein about it.

What's particularly galling in this game was how the Seahawks seemed intent on injuring our WRs with not one, but two flaggable offenses including one which should have been a candidate for ejection.

Didn't see the game, only the highlights so I can't answer your question based on this one game. However I do believe that offensive holding could be called on almost every play. Refs usually let it go unless it's totally obvious. The problem is sometimes they are called at critical times in a game and when called more against one team than the other, that's when any fanbase gets ticked off.

After 5 games this season, 217 offensive holding calls have been called for an average of 6.7 per team. That's a little over 1 offensive holding call per game per team, which to me seems ridiculous.

Just a few “highlight” blown calls or non-calls that should make the NFL Hall of Shame...

The non-call on the Cooks helmet to helmet hit. WTF? Shoulda been a flag and ejection. Period. Fine from league to follow.

The non-call on stepping out of bounds on Seahawk TD. Unforgivable. A game changing fubar that I blame the booth for.

Overturning the Gurley rushing TD. Not nearly close to enough evidence to overturn the call on the field. Another WTF?

The bad spot on the Gurley 8 yard run in the late 4th quarter. One ref actually overruling the other (correct) ref? Again, WTF?

I might give an honorable mention to the non-call on the pass interference on Gurley that resulted in the turnover by the Seahawks. Talk about rewarding bad behavior!

Geez, what a terribly officiated game this was. The league should be having a “come to Jesus” meeting with this crew.

Blown calls happen all the time, but these no calls were SO blatant that I honestly cannot think of any other game where I saw so many obviously missed calls that made me think the game was fixed. If I was the commissioner and McVay sent me a tape of all the non calls, I would honestly probe those specific refs just to make sure they didnt have any financial gain in the outcome of the game.
