What I've noticed here is that the ones b!tching aren't giving any real rationale, but the ones "defending" the crew have plenty of reason on their side; and they're employing it well.
Of course it just reinforces my opinion anyway; that the crew did an overall good job. My only real question is about that illegal block call on the Seattle int. Was that a call that is justified by the rules but was poor judgment, or was it a misapplication of a rule? Or, conversely, was it the right call?

In this play, had he it the player next to the runner it would have been a good call. I believe he thought the other player got hit below the waist and not the runner. Sometimes officials see things that didn't actually happen. It's much like basketball. How many times do we see a foul call when there wasn't any contact at all?
