Seahawks vs. Bengals - Week 1 (1 Viewer)

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

You know, no-one ever talks about or cares about punters, more so in fantasy.

But the Seahawks punter is really, really good.

Love these close games where you can actually see momentum swing each way. Fun game to watch, going to be really interesting last quarter.

There it is, career high for Andy Dalton. 384 yards. #Bengals

Forget Clowney, Quinton Jefferson has been the defensive star for SEA.

And Dalton has been really impressive on the other side of the ball.

Really? Nobody talking about how Ross is alive for the first time in his career?

Terrible PI call on Flowers. Hope it's challenged.

Terrible PI call on Flowers. Hope it's challenged.

Why?  Was a bad call, but no way it's reversed.  He got there a tad early.

It is - not sure how they see this one - he did have hands wrapped around back but it didn't really "interfere" - he made a good play on the ball.

Call stands

In slo mo, you could see he had a grasp, so there is an argument that he was there early, but totally agree with @ffldrew -- that's a pure football play, it in no way impeded the ability of the receiver to get to the ball or make the catch, did not alter or bump him in his route, and was 100% about getting a hand in to block the ball. 

That is simply a great defensive play.

Agree, don't know what else a DB can do (maybe shouldn't have had his left hand around the waist) But being that is was called on the field just no way it was going to be reversed.  The PI challenge should only be used on egregious non-calls of PI.  Coaches should have figured that out in pre-season - if a P.I. is called on the field it is not going to be reversed...

Dalton is listed as 6'2, but getting balls swatted down like he was Flutie.

Guess I hoped that the NFL showed some reason in a league that so much favors the passing game and actually did reverse a call where there was zero deleterious impact of what the defender did on that play.

Maybe that's just too much to expect.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Carson is such a beast.

 

[rascal]

Is lockett playing?

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

SEA really screwed themselves with that penalty, now the Bengals with a chance to win.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Dalton had control as his hand was going forward, should have been incomplete.

First time I ever agreed with Index Card Steratore.

Cincy got screwed on that.

 

[Hov34]

Not that it matters, that is just wrong.

 

[EYLive]

LOL, these rules are stupid. Anyone with eyes can see that was an incomplete pass. Leave it to the NFL to F this up.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

My god is that the most Seattle win ever

He even got spiral on ball.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Nothing new about my Bengals getting screwed at the end like that but very impressed with what I saw from Zac and company today.  Will be fun to watch this year - a lot of fight and a caoching staff that at least isn't afraid of it's own shadow.
