That right there is why no one should take Atlanta seriously as a contender until they prove it

Horrible spot to throw to on the field. Even if Jones catches that he was about to get blown up by Seattle's entire secondary.
Granted, but there's a lot of blame to go around--starting with playcalling.
Good job by Atlanta's defense though.
Rightfully so. Gotta say though, Sherman is so subtle about it. You can see him tug on Jones right arm while it was still tucked down. Had no chance at catching the ball one handed
He should be pissed at Matty Ice for not running for the first down. Hoping to get a PI call on the road on 4th down only works for Flacco.
Considering the guy could only extend one hand because his other arm was being pinned to his side, it's a mugging.
Seahawks be are most physical in league on that stuff...they should get called more than they do
Please. Look at the replay. Sherman clearly grabbed and held JJ's arm and dragged him down as the ball arrived.
I don't care who wins but that was incredibly blatant DPI that prevented Jones from catching the ball and probably took the win away from Atlanta. Just an awful awful no-call, but the inability of NFL refs to call PI properly is one of the worst things about this whole sport.
He fucking grabbed his arm when he was about to catch the ball. There is no reason not to call that every time.
And I agree it was a DPI but it wasnt a mugging. If it was a mugging they would have called it. Instead Sherman got away with a move that a veteran CB can get away with. Again, it was DPI ... Im not arguing that at all
I don't see why this is the case. Julio catches that ball, what, 100 out of 100 times if he has two hands? It wasn't like it was a hail mary situation.
So it's not a mugging but it's blatant pass interference that absolutely should have been called. Are we parsing vocabulary over the usage of the word "mugging"?
Where did I use Blatant? I know reading is hard but I never used blatant or anything else that said it was anything more than DPI ...
Seriously? Are there degrees of pass interference? If you agree it was PI, what's your point?
It was a horrendous non-call. Just accept it and move on.
If that call had hurt the Patriots, I doubt the accepting it and moving on would happen for weeks
No doubt. But if the Pats had gotten away with something like that I would have just accepted it and moved on, and not argued about whether it was a mugging or blatant, or just your average run-of-the-mill pass interference with the game on the line.
Typical press conference where he gets all pissy with the media and pouts like a spoiled 4 year old not getting his way and then walks off after not answering questions.
Bills fans still cry about some missed DPI on a hail mary against the Pats from like 20 years ago. It's a riot.
Let us now open the Book of Flacco to Chapter One, Verse 2. "And lo unto Torrey Smith I will deliver a most uncatchable ball..."
Well, considering I'm still salty about that flag that was picked up when Kuechly mugged Gronk in 2013 and ended up costing us HFA, I'd say you're right.
It makes no sense to me that teams with shitty defenses defer to the second half. So you want to get in an early hole?
