On the PF shove OOB, I noted that the player struck the box man and or box. Not hard but it's a safety thing, IMO.

The box should have been dropped when he got near them. The safety as related to the chains is the responsibility of the crew, not the players. The players shouldn't be expected to pullup if they tackle or take other action near the chains.

(Full disclosure: I'm a Seahawks fan.)

I wondered about this call as well. All I can think is that the official thought the push unnecessary, since it was clear the catch was not made. But regardless, I wonder why this was called a dead ball PF. The ball was not yet dead at the time of the contact. If I recall correctly, it was popped up and still in flight.

And I too thought the running into the kicker was a bad call. We I saw it full speed, I thought perhaps it was running into the kicker. But when I saw the replay, I shook my head (as a Seahawks fan) thinking "Crap, SF gets to keep the ball." I was shocked that they didn't call roughing.

This was probably why the discussion during the dead ball was so long after the flag was thrown.
