amazing that team leader lynch has been adequately replaced by an undrafted dude the year after he retires

Cmon, that's seriously your argument?

trolling tbh. its irrelevant where he was drafted, dude's a beast. it is true, though, that running backs are more easily replaceable than qb's... that shouldnt be in question

Rawls has yet another Beast Mode run, and Al Michaels' reaction is to cream himself over Struggle blocking for him. What a joke.

Rawls runs for 30 yards and Struggle gets credit for a block in the back. Ridiculous

Searefs
Seahawks receiver blatantly grabs the defender's facemask in the end zone = no call
Legion of Boom mugs opposing receivers all game, every game = no calls
Someone breathes in a Seahawks player's direction - better call a personal foul!

Seahawks getting all the ref help

[Will Hunting]

I don't understand why the NFL basically woke up one day and decided to give Seattle a ton of ref help. It's not a big market and doesn't have a huge fan base or anything, such a random team for the NFL to promote so much.

TD Team Leader Rawls!

Eh... Seattle is the 14th-ranked market in America, so I'd say it qualifies as a big market. And they have a solid fanbase - even back when they were in the AFC and they sucked, the ty Kingdome used to be deafening at times.

The ref help is because, for whatever reason, the NFL really wants Struggle Wilson as the next "face of the league." And that means his team has to win as much as possible. Matt Hasselbeck certainly wasn't getting this kind of officiating every week

How the do you punt there

[AlexJones]

I know you're a coach who would never go for it on 4th down even with Peyton Manning in his prime but come on

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Richardson does it again.

[Jodelo]

The refs two blatant calls to end the game

I don't mind it, tbh. As someone with Seattle -7.5

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Looks like a catch to me.

[AlexJones]

Run up the score so I could lose all of my money betting on Atlanta -1.5 next week
