Dak's accuracy was pretty bad and he once again wasn't seeing open receivers. There were even a lot of completions he put in bad spots which killed any chance for YAC.

Who's salty? We're just looking ahead to the playoffs already which we haven't been able to do this early since '07

And if the Cowboys win a single play-off game this year with Prescott, they will have as many playoff victories with him as the Cowboys have had with Tony Romo over Romo's ENTIRE CAREER.
Prescott has 2 interceptions over 9 games. Here's how many games it has taken Romo to reach 2 interceptions in every year he has began the season as the starter:
2007: 3
2008: 2
2009: 2
2010: 2 (Started year and got hurt halfway through)
2011: 3
2012: 2
2013: 5
2014: 1 (The year of unparalleled greatness and the year talked about when wanting Romo to take over this year)
2015: 1 (Started year and got hurt in week 3)

So did anyone else not completely think Seattle got away with another one with the non PI call on 4th and goal last night? Gronk looking back for the ball, wasn't the one to look for/initiate contact, gets hauled down. Nothing. As usual with Seattle's D. There's no unit more beloved by the refs right now.

You lose something, and I sincerely hope you guys do put Romo in and fuck up the whole season. It would be glorious.

Meh, probably a PI in the second quarter, I thought NE got hit with a ticky tack one on a good play by Coleman, and thought Seattle got away with at least 2 on Edelman.
Really they should have not dicked around with the clock on 1st and goal from the 4, and just punched it in. Also, Edelman needs to not fumble.
But as a whole Seattle does get away with more than other teams and in general this year the officiating has sucked.

Seattle pushes the limit when it comes to PI late in games. Its part of their defensive identity. Its encouraged by the coaching staff.
They have been doing it for years. They hedge their bet that the refs will swallow their whistles in such late stages of a game, or when the stakes are high. Its pretty sad actually, because it has influenced many a game.
But thats what happens when you throw consistency out the window. They need to be willing to call a penalty on the last play of the Super Bowl, if its warranted. Patriots kind of got jobbed. Wasnt the only reason they lost, edleman fumbling comes to mind, but it was pretty decisive.

Pats' secondary was abysmal tonight too (9 man in coverage and still Baldwin gets open?). Really need to fix that before the play-offs or we're not going to win the big one.

I agree that the officiated has been horrible this year but Gronk didn't get robbed and neither did the Pats. They had that TD in the bag. So many chances. They screwed up and Gronk initiated the contact. He pushed the guy over but definitely he was wronged...lol. Of course, I'd be upset too if Wilson's coming out party from injury was on my overrated defense. The refs are unusually quiet in Seattle every game. That should be the standard, though, not the shit I've seen every week in multiple games.

The refs are usually quiet in Seattle games? The NFL loves our defense? Seattle is one of the most penalized teams in the league and have been since Pete started as head coach.
Just stop. Do we push the limit? Absolutely. But to say the OFFENSE titled league loves a defense titled team is pants on head retarded.

You can be one of the most penalized teams in the league and still get the benefit of the doubt on big calls in the big moments. They get away with more precisely because they always push the limit. That's also why they get called more, but because they do so much even doing a little less the refs give them some leeway.

Ding, ding, ding, someone got it. I think defenses should get more leeway but Seattle gets more especially AT HOME.

I didn't watch the game, but it's the same story as the rest of the year. Inconsistent refs. I think it'll be the thing which starts the actual downfall of the NFL.
Which is incredibly sad that in a league that makes so much fucking money that they can't hire full time refs. I mean holy shit, "how is this still a thing?"
