Falconsfan567 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Why is it ok for the Seahawks to tackle receivers but no other team is allowed to even breathe on receivers without getting flagged?Seriously. That's one of the reasons the Seahawks defense is so good. They are allowed to tackle receivers with no flag. Just saw Wes Welker get tackled and no flag. Jim and Phil called it great coverage.

AF89 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Are you freaking kidding me NFL!!!!! How is that not an offside. This is the same sh^t the Saints used to get away with a few years back. People who say the refs don't lean favorites are oblivious as heII.

RS91 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Reputation. It's just like how Brady has gotten numerous roughing the passer flags after yelling at the ref, even when he was barely touched. Shaq made a career out of getting away with offensive fouls in the post and Tom Glavine is in the HoF because he convinced umpires that the strike zone is 4 inches wider than it really is. Once you get the reputation for being the best at what you do, the refs are always going to give you the benefit of the doubt. Doesn't matter the team, or the players, or even the sport.

AF89 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The way the Seahawks play defense imo should actually be the standard around the league, just can't stand how their the only ones allowed to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnrealfalcoN Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/11/gilbride-says-seahawks-have-perfected-the-art-of-pass-interference/So what’s the secret of the Seattle Seahawks?They cheat.Not in a Spygate way or with any other secret methods. As explained by Kevin Clark and Jonathan Clegg of the Wall Street Journal, the Seahawks engage in blatant pass interference on a regular basis, accepting that a penalty will be called from time to time but realizing that the officials won’t call it every time.“If you think they’re going to be called and expect that to be the solution to the problem, you’re going to be sadly mistaken,” former Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride told Clark and Clegg. “They’ve perfected the art.”Gilbride added that the Seahawks engage in pass interference on nearly every passing play.“They just seem to not care about the rules,” Giants receiver Louis Murphy said.They surely care, but the Seahawks understand that the officials aren’t inclined to slow the pace of the game to a crawl by throwing flag after flag for interference or defensive holding.“They look at it and say, ‘We may get called for one but not 10,'” FOX’s Mike Pereira, a former V.P. of officiating, told Clark and Clegg.The Seahawks led the league with 13 pass interference penalties in 2013. They also had 10 defensive holding calls. If they’re indeed committing fouls on every passing play, that’s a small price to pay for 13 wins and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.Absent an adjustment by the officials from last weekend’s wild-card round, which featured plenty of uncalled contact on receivers, the Saints should expect more of the same on Saturday.
