Yeah, the refs stayed out of it completely in the 1st half. Then, I personally thought that they called a sequence of penalties for ticky-tack ineligible downfield (by maybe 2-ish yards) and a hold against Seattle - stuff they’d previously been ignoring - and it took the wind out of Seattle
It’s like just now in the Jags Bolts game. Zebras just called a huge Offside on Bosa that negated a huge sack on 3rd down. Seemed very ticky-tack and they’ve been ignoring stuff all game. OK, if you wanna ignore stuff, ignore stuff, just be consistent. I’m sure overall the penalty yards will be consistent and we can say “they’re consistent, it’s not a problem”
But I do agree with the opinion that the refs weren’t by any means the reason the Seahawks lost like that. Stuff is going to happen and you gotta be able to keep trucking, just as the (tying threads together) Bolts do if they don’t wanna be Boltsy
