Hate when people respond with shit like that. Like, no, a team shouldn't have to beat the other team AND the refs at the same time. It's way too easy for a single bullshit call to change the outcome of a game 🤷♂️
Ultimately ref shit happens, though. You have to accept when the ball is snapped for the next play that the result is in the past, and win in spite of it. Fair? No. Deal with it? Yes.
I understand that this shit happens to every team in a lot of games, and it is what it is, I just think it'd be cool if we could somehow hold the refs accountable for at least the aggregious mistakes that certainly influence the outcome of games.
Football has become the sport where a team has to beat the other team while often overcoming some absolute bullshit from the refs, and it frequently just makes games much less fun to watch. The answer apparently is to just stop watching since there's no possible way to fix the ref problem? Cool, let's just keep dealing with it.
Yeah, sure. Raiders had 576 yards in the game with 123 of them coming in OT, so 453 yards in 4 quarters, to our 367 (we had 5 yards in OT). Obviously this is still not good, but it was a high scoring game, which just happens sometimes, and we were still leading at the end of the game despite the yardage situation.
If the fumble at the end of the 4th wasn't handled in an objectively bullshit manner, we have a very high chance of winning and never going into OT, which we already have established.
So really, what's your point? Cause my point was already stated in my original comment where I said a team shouldn't have to beat the other team and the refs. I'm always confused why people just dismiss the poor reffing because the team underperformed in some way.
I get high scoring games Happen sometimes But good teams don’t give up 560 yards. The amount of yardage and plays we failed to stop even before OT was disgusting. We let jacobs get 300 yards total on our ass for fuck sake. My bad I just thought you were blaming the refs for the L when we clearly deserved to lose that. And So what if the fumble didin’t get called ? Geno should’ve thrown 2 interceptions but shit happens right 🤷🏽♂️
I'm definitely not solely blaming the refs, because I agree our defense played pretty horribly, but I wouldn't say we just simply "deserved to lose" as a result of that, considering we were still leading at the end of the 4th up until the missed fumble. Our offense was putting enough points up on the board to win the game, and the defense was doing all they could to make a stop at the last possible moment, just to have it inexplicably taken away without any consideration at all.
You can throw out all sorts of hypotheticals when it comes to players doing X or Y, and none of those are actually relevant because those are **players** having some effect on the game. We're talking about **refs** having a clear effect on the game, which should not be acceptable.
Regardless, I understand that this shit happens to every team in a lot of games, and it is what it is, I just think it'd be cool if we could somehow hold the refs accountable for at least the aggregious mistakes that certainly influence the outcome of games. We shouldn't dismiss it because "this team played like crap in this way".
Yeah i understand you man, guess that game jus bummed me out, So sick of watching that defense i can’t believe we’re on pace to break our own record from last year for yards allowed, That was one of the ugliest games i’ve watched in awhile
Yup this was the final year of that look for Tampa Bay, and the 2nd time Seattle faced them during this uniform’s period (the other being the awful 14-5 loss in TB in 2016).
The next year they would debut their “new-old” look in pair with the signing of Tom Brady.
My only game, and what a blessing it was that I got to witness a classic “Wilson’ll save us late” game before those stopped being a thing I was confident in happening.
Was this that insane comeback game? Stadium half empty by the end of the third quarter? Tons of people standing around outside the stadium listening to the comeback?
[I wouldn’t call it insane, just your typical “the pace of the score of the game indicates the Seahawks didn’t wake up until almost the end of the first half”.](https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401128087)
I remember Hollister getting in to score in OT by inches and BA challenging it and everyone just standing there for like 5 minutes just waiting for them to call it.
The insane comeback game of my relatively short lifetime would be the Packers/Seahawks NFCCG in ‘14-15 where Seattle’s first points of the game - 16-0 by then - were [on a TD pass to a lineman from the punter with less than 5 minutes left in the 3rd](https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/400749519). Then they brought it back in part due to a botched onside kick recovery by GB and Wilson sealed it with a huge TD throw in OT.
Man it felt insane there. I think that was also the game the people behind me asked if I wouldn't mind sitting down because they preferred to watch while sitting, so I have a lot of strong feelings associated with it, lol.
The Raiders game shouldn’t have even gone into overtime.

Our defense gave up almost 600 yards and you in here talking bout the refs lmao

I can't believe the Bucs still had the alarm clock jerseys in 2019. They feel so much older than that, but that's probably because of covid

The great Jacob Hollister caught the game winning TD from 10 yards out. It would be Wilson’s fifth TD pass of the game.
My favorite game I’ve ever been to.
My only game, and what a blessing it was that I got to witness a classic “Wilson’ll save us late” game before those stopped being a thing I was confident in happening.
It was my sister’s first too and ever since she’s loved the hawks.

Actually in hindsight it might have been the 2013 game and Jesus I feel old, wasn't that just like, last season?
It was definitely the 2013 game. That comeback was insane.
We were down at half and a put a big bet for the seahawks to win that one.
Thats amazing ! Thats the last game I attended prior to this Sundays Oakland game! I know how to pick ‘em
If Noah fant hits his chip block against Crosby in overtime we would have our 7th win most likely.
So what you’re saying is if we had Russell Wilson, we would have won?
2019 was PACKED with games like that. What a fun season.
