It's unbelievable that the league is so hell-bent on protecting players but yet there was no call on the hit on Cooks. It was a clear call I don't understand how they didnt see that.

Isn't a personal foul like that in a enjectable foul spearing? Hope McVey sends a tape to the League of today's game. Terribly reffed

There better be a fine and possibly a suspension coming along with that hit. As for the refs there better be hell to pay for them as well

Helmet to helmet, aiming for the head, defenseless player....whatever you want to call yet nothing.

Mcvay was coy in his presser and said his main concern was Brandin .. but he was angry you could tell

With the hit on cooks, the td that should have been reversed, the absolute lack of holding calls on Seattle, the clear first down we got that was reversed in the final minutes of the game...this was the worst officiating I've ever seen. The fact it was so blatant makes this win very unsatisfying.

That was a dirty hit and the play where Kupp was concussed was the same type of tackle Hill was flagged for, yet no flag on sheattle.

Should count as 2 wins as the Rams beat the shecocks and the officials.

8 months removed from the Super Bowl hit, is that enough for his head to FULLY recover?

His hands extended today after the hit which indicates he was fully unconscious. Not good...

That hit on Cooks was close to the hit in the SB that changed the game for the Pats. Might be the reason The Pats traded Cooks.

It was so blatant and yet the commentators acted as if it was a good hit.
To believe that had there not been another penalty on Seatle that it would have been a turnover is mind boggling.

I still can't believe they didn't throw a flag. Disgusting how a player that flicks the qbs helmet gets a flag thrown and something as flagrant a foul as this hit gets nothing.

I think that the worst part was that the commentators tried to play it as "even Pete Carroll was concerned over Cooks", when he was clearly talking to the refs over the penalty/turnover.

IMO, it will be reviewed by the league and a fine will be levied. It was a definite helmet to helmet hit, and the refs blew the call.

Was listening to Sirius and it was Seattle's home announcers. They said there was nothing spiteful about it and Thompson always goes in for hits like that. No remorse.

I didn't see the hit, but if so, Karma.

Listened to Rams radio and they were actively discussing the targeting call that should have been called and ejection for the hitter.

It actually wasn't H2H, but I'm not sure how Cooks was no longer a defenseless WR. He was turning up the field and had just started to protect himself when he was hit with a shoulder and forearm shiver right to the head. It was also quite clear that the DB was targeting his head.


I guarantee you if Russell Wilson got hit like that while scrambling, we would have been flagged.
