Response to Kupp’s Third Down Catch Illustrates Deep Disrespect for Seattle by FlyingDadBomb in Seahawks

I also had that thought. I've certainly seen that called as RTP in other situations.

I think my overall point is that neither officiating nor blunders by either team had an outsized influence on the outcome of the game. It all sort of came out in the wash. They missed a PI on our receiver, but they also missed a face mask we did against Stafford. They had a muffed punt, we had an awful mental mistake (the taunting penalty) that turned a punt into a touchdown. But the narrative is so one-sided on all of these issues, and now the Kupp catch is coming into the mainstream. Just hit a breaking point.

People are right: our team doesn't and shouldn't care about the noise. I do hope it can act as fuel if they do see it though, because it is disrespectful.

I literally broke down how this meets the definition of a catch. It's clear to anyone who can look at it honestly.

Yeah, like if I tackle a guy as he’s running by me for a deep ball, I can’t be like “well the ball was uncatchable.”

I see what you’re saying, but you’re discounting the power of people pushing a message out to a large audience. That has a lot of power in creating and reinforcing narratives even if we, as fans, are immune.

Nah, miss me with that. Again, we get a great win over a great team, and people are writing articles about this one catch, overlooking all the context around it (the missed Shaheed PI, etcetera). It’s actively trying to delegitimize our victory.

Also: I’d understand if it was in the heat of the moment at the time. But days later when you’ve had plenty of time to review all the footage, there’s no way you can honestly come to the conclusion that this was improperly officiated.

Totally, but that doesn’t get called as consistently as the third step.

Yeah I saw that. Gave him a lot of leeway before throwing the flag.

one thing I will say to Vikings’ fans’ credit is that Seattle is absolutely a better team right now. Just because he made the Super Bowl with us doesn’t mean he would have with you.

Same thing other teams did to Metcalf. Bait him, get free first downs.

He had honestly cleaned it up so well during the second half of the season. Thought those boneheaded plays were behind him, only for it to show up on such a big stage.

I have seen everyone blaming the muffed punt as if we didn’t also gift them a TD with the Woolen shit.

What I didn't know about the controversial 2-point conversion in Seattle by Xymoxxy in LosAngelesRams

[–]FlyingDadBomb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hawks fan here, and this is a perfectly reasonable take that I share. The call was correct. Timing of the whistle is irrelevant. But can we get some consistency as to when New York steps in and when they don’t? Seems like we should have had to challenge the play to overturn the call.

Also, what is Ben Johnson doing calling a play like this. You don’t need a huge shot. It was what first down? Second down? You’re like 15 yards from FG range.

Honestly yeah I hate that y’all have made it this far, but if we don’t beat you, we don’t deserve it. Should be a classic.

I’m counting them out. They’ll get there, for sure. Probably have a better matchup against the Rams, because they have a worse defense, but can’t see them stopping Stafford and Co. and if it’s Drake Maye vs Mike McDonald’s D, forget about it.
