A boarderline push off on that last Seattle TD pass….wasn’t called…
DAMN Terry McAulay is a good official are you sure he cant be eligible to Ref super bowl 49
No kidding, Dean. The best in the biz.
Dean and Bill, McAulay is ineligible for SB XLIX due to the fact that he worked the SB last season.
Just found this site. You work for nfl or referees union? Plenty of bad calls in first game and it was my understanding you cant hit a sliding qb., never mind the hit to the head with his forearm.
head slap, should not have been talked out of the call as originally seen by R. I’d love to know what level the of football the operators of this site have worked, and for how long. They sure seem to (think) they know everything.
I will be the first to admit I watched the game through Carolina lenses. Facts, and after DVR reviewing several of the above, multiple times. Calls were either missed or not consistent. I will argue that they ultimately don’t affect the end outcome, but in a time where officials are being criticized and technology is being emphasized, you must fix this moving forward. It’s seemingly the National Fixed League.
I thought McAulay’s crew did a good job during the game.
They did do a good job but it seems that Seattle gets away with callls every game regardless of the crew
@Dave C
You must be kidding.
Seattle has a) the most penalties of any NFL team this year, b) their opponents have the lowest penalties in the NFL, and c) the Seahawks – can’t remember team/specific year but I do have the correct decade for sure (according to the broadcast team one or two weeks ago) – have the most penalties since 1953, that is the Seahawks are the most penalized team in SIX DECADES.
The Hawks lost two games this season on very arguable calls. I’m a Hawk fan, sure, but I admire competence in any discipline. The officials in this game called a FINE game. Well done.
Yes, the Seahawks are heavily penalized. Just not for the defensive holding they get away with. Number of penalties does not equal a team not getting away with things.
