1) The misplayed punt by Seattle that we couldn't capitalize on, and ultimately turned into a fumble by Cox.. Just just brutal..
2) The 4th down repeat of a punt that we ended up losing 30 yards on.
3) The other 2 fumbles by Seattle where the ball is bouncing all over but we couldn't even fall on one..
We just can't catch a Mo Fo break vs this team... I accept that we stunk but good lord can anything ever go in our favor vs Seattle.. Immediately Crab goes down to start the game and the tempo was set..
BS.
THISSSSSSSS. I have been saying these exact things for years now. Call me a Whiner fan and this and that if you want and that's fine, but one thing I always notice when I watch seattle games is how lucky they seem to get. I can admit they are a good team, sure. But the 3 things you just highlighted in your post were things I was furious about last night. Every time I see them play even against other teams the same stuff happens. Usually if there is ever a scenario where it could go either way, it seems to me that the ball or call almost always bounces in their favor. And yes the injuries we seem to sustain against them every time we play is ridiculous.
Here is an example of something stupid going in favor of seattle: Probably the WORST call I have ever witnessed in football, the golden tate "catch where he certainly didn't shove Sam Shields to the ground" as the ball was in flight. then he had the nerve to look into the camera and say he didn't push off. And wouldn't ya know it seattle comes out with the most undeserved, cheap win I have ever seen. That play made me hate seattle more than I already did. And I believe there were 3 or 4 other highly controversial calls that ALL benefitted seattle during the 4th quarter of that game
