  Wambulance

  Nice one King. I'm an admitted lifelong Steelers fan and I live in Seattle. Lots of things could have helped the Seahawks the win on Sunday. More calls to be sure. But 7-3 isn't that disparate for an NFL game, and as you mentioned there were a couple of non-calls the other way but the Seahawks can't see that right now. You didn't mention the quick whistle on a Stevens fumble in the first half - without the quick whistle the steelers had a good chance of recovering that fumble before it went out but it was ruled an incompletion. A tight end that could catch would have helped. Even mediocre punting would have been good. Decent field goal kicking maybe. Better clock management than a high school team should be expected. A safety that didn't give up a couple of home runs. There are lots of things. But whining about the refs is the age old cry of the loser... it just seems to be going on a lot longer than usual in Seattle and I don't get it. If they lose three in a row they'll be back to blacking out the home games in the local market and I'll be turning down free tickets as I was as recently as earlier this season. But for right now the bandwagon has been transformed into a wambulance.
