NFL says Saints should have been flagged for illegal pick plays, Seahawks say

Snead has to sell picks better than he does.

But you could say that Seattle brought this on themselves, firstly the NFL was probably thinking, "we're going to make up for last game." And secondly, if they like to hold, you almost have to pick to defeat it.

Some teams claim they should be able to get away with that cause they're "physical." BS. I'm sure we all could think of a few teams that get away with it all the time.

You are incorrect. The ball was on the 2 and Snead blocked him a yard, maybe a yard and a half off the line. It couldn't have been 3-4 yards.

It's like Barry Bonds complaining about guys using PED's and hitting too many home runs.

See previous comment, they're posturing for this week and are game planning for the coming weeks...

That was the point of the reply post; like the Detroit Pistons of the 80's-90's, they commit so many penalties, the refs just get tired of throwing the flags...

I understood the post. I was making a sarcastic reference to all of the things the Seahawks have blatantly gotten away with, to show how hypocritical it is for them to complain that they aren't getting calls, and Sherman saying the league isn't fun. Maybe it isn't fun anymore, but guys like Sherman have no room to talk. They need to shut their mouths before the refs ACTUALLY start calling fair games for them. They would quickly find that to be to their detriment.
