It's nitpicking, it was a jump ball there is always contact by receivers and DBs during jump balls like that on 4th and 10, gotta let them play.
im already knowing a win is a win. Who cares, onto the next week. You guys own the NFC West, noones gonna compete with yall towards the end of the season

Gotdamn if he wouldn't have held his arm that's a catch
Maybe, he had to extend one hand pretty far out just to get his hand on the ball, if the other hand is free I think he still has to one hand catch it and you see Sherman's other hand come in and knock the ball out.

Julio is a beast. What hurt them the most though was the perfect pass drop he had that was picked off by Earl, that was the game changer right there otherwise Jones makes that catch easy first down.

It is kind of a lack luster win. We should have easily won this game, they made adjustments at the half and we didnt
They played pretty good in the fourth though. It was really just that third quarter melt down, 21 points. Fourth quarter defense held.

I was starting to wonder for a while if Kearse was hurt. Not much of a peep from him til the end. They did a good job containing Baldwin today as well
They did I kept waiting for Baldwin to do something big. He did have a key first down at the end there. Jimmy was big again. Wasn't a hundred yards but it was close.

I LOVE seeing Graham being used like he should. It's amazing really. The sports radio I listen to pointed out how since with the Hawks bes lined up in a 3 point stance more than his whole time with the saints. I mean fuck,how hard is it?? Slot, outside. Just THROW him the ball and line him as a fucking receiver.

lol theres outrage everywhere about that noncall. Its become the story of the day
It's 4th and 10 on a jump ball, there is almost always going to be some contact one way or the other in situations like that. People just love to hate Seattle, anytime there's a call that goes the Seahawks way they'll jump all over it.

Like I mentioned, I think what hurt the falcons more was Julio dropped pass that Earl picked off. That was the game changer. If Julio catches that it's an easy first down. They shouldn't have put themselves in a position where they need to pick up a 4th and 10.

The fact that this supposed "pass interference" Sherman did is causing so much controversy right now shows how soft and pathetic the NFL is really becoming. Teams would rather win on a soft call than outplaying another team. Fans would rather win on a soft call than outplaying the other team. It's fucking stupid.

I swear I hear the announcers for every single game say the word "flag" at least 100 times per game with phrases like "they're looking for a flag". Players seem to want flags more than wanting to actually make a play now days.

Hell yeah people are soft. If Atlanta wants to throw a 40 yard jump ball on 4th and 10 with the game on the line into double coverage thats on them.

Plus you can't have it both ways, I mean look, Julio put illegal hands to Sherman's face that is how he got separated from Sherman in the first place, that is technically a penalty, not allowed to do that. Do people really want a game where everything is called a penalty? Fuck that it's bad enough as it is.

Here is Jones smacking Sherman in the face on that last play:

Exactly. And people like Brees, Rodgers seems to get those when it counts the most. I've seen Rodgers basically go 3 and out only to draw the other team offsides with snap count manipulation for a first then bomb it up for a flag so many times to lead him to a comeback win so many times. Or even worse, the holding flag followed by bombing it 50 yards because if the 'free play' where it doesn't matter. Play should be whistled dead and they should get rid of the free play too, unless it's in the hands of a rusher already or something

That 3rd QTR was an absolute shit show. Clearly the DB's and the DC were NOT on the same page.
That was a problem last year too. I've read that there is some kind of communication problem getting out the plays quick enough with Kris Richard and that this has been an ongoing problem. Whether Sherman was right or wrong, his explosion was a result of the frustration built up over this issue. Hopefully it gets resolved quickly.
