That quote is from "Stanford Steve" on ESPN, but it's what I've been saying since it happened - the latest bad call that gave Seattle a win.

The Back Judge standing right there and looking at the play covered his ass - saying he thought the guy inadvertently batted the ball. That makes it a judgment call, and people can say all they want about how the judgment stinks, but nothing can be done. My take on it, though, is that the refs did not know the rule. Of course, nobody is gonna admit that, but I bet that's the truth.

I think we can all agree that it would just be swell if the Seahawks could kindly shut the hell up about the refs from this point forward.

Spread or no spread, I think it was really important to some big money people that Seattle win that game.
If Seattle went 1-3, they were probably toast as far as the playoffs and I don't think big money would have liked that possibility.
BTW I don't know the ins and outs of gambling. It's just one of those conspiracy theories that came to mind.
Probably nothing to it since we all know that the multi billion dollar gambling industry is snow white.

We need to have head mounted body cams on all officials so we can see what they are seeing.

I have mixed feelings about this...

K.J. Wright clearly didn't know the rule. Why didn't he just fall on it? Afraid it would be a safety?

The only reason for a penalty on the play would be the batting out of bounds, it looked as if it might have gone out anyway. It didn't look like any Lions players had a shot at recovering the fumble. It looked like Wright could have easily recovered it.

Therefore, a penalty negating the turnover would have seemed like a ticky-tack ending to a great play by Megatron and even greater play by Chancellor to force the fumble.

However, a ticky-tack seemingly BS unchallengeable call costing Seattle the game would have been enjoyable. 😁

Ticky-tack or not, rules are rules. It's the refs job to enforce them. If it's a bad rule, fix it in the offseason, but otherwise, enforce the rules until that time.
