A question on the rules, RAMS/Seahawks

[RickRund]

Anyone watch the RAMS\Seahawks.

The last hawks series in regular time. The running into the kicker call on the RAMS. I thought the defender was pushed into the kicker. The defender wasn't even facing the kicker, basically had his backer to the kicker, off balance and falling, seemed to be pushed by a blocker.

Same series, Geno Smith scrambled and running downfield and to me ran into Ramsey out of bounds. Ramsey was called for roughing.

Last series the group meeting in the endzone after the Seahawk interception, taunting??? Curious

To me, very POOR calls. Am I just looking at it through blue/gold glasses? Thanks

I saw the game too, thought they were all bad calls.

I think there should have been an intentional grounding call in there too.

I don't watch a lot of NFL but have been watching some of the Rams games with the MSU guys being there

Thanks. Forgot about the intentional grounding. The officials definitely helped out the hawks..

I really wanted the Rams to win that game, and they definitely got jobbed on those calls. I'm a Rams fan but the game didn't really mean anything to them. I hate the Seahawks though so I wanted to knock them out of the playoffs. And I was also rooting for the Lions to make the playoffs which would have happened if the Rams had won.

I knew I wasn't crazy... RAM fans and Lions fans had/have a legitimate beef with the officiating.

Daniel Hardy was right in the middle of that roughing the punter call. He arrives with the second wave but ends up facedown just as Williams backs into the punter. It was hard for me to tell which team caused Williams to fall into the punter as he was already stumbling when he came into frame. I assume when you are pushed into the kicker, it’s still a penalty if your own team does the pushing.

Rules? We don't have time for stinking rules. If the refs can't call when a lineman clearly moves early on a touchdown play, they clearly only use them when they want, hence no rules. Maybe there guys will get people to quit complaining about big sky refs.
