NFC Championship: (1) Seattle Seahawks vs. (2) Green Bay Packers

They said that first int. Rodgers threw to Sherman in the end zone, he thought Bennett was offsides so he thought he was getting a free play.

Replays showed offsides should have been flagged.

Not too consequential because Wilson threw an int. the next series I believe.

I expect the refs to miss a couple calls every game. They are only human. When penalties start causing detriment to the game, that is when I take exception. I thought they did a superb job.

Not trying to be glib but I think Wilson about threw a pick EVERY series in the first half.

The fact that he overcame that impressed the hell out of me.

What was up with Mathews in the 4th quarter? I noticed he was out…the Packer defense was completely different with him on the sidelines, but I didn't hear anything about why he was out. Did I miss it?

I noticed that too at Safeco and thought it was pretty dumb. I mean I love the Seahawks, but c'mon man.

Speaking of the refs, there was one play I didn't fully get. When Matthews sacked Wilson, one of the lineman dove on Matthews after the play and got flagged. The Packers ended up declining it...but why wasn't it a dead ball foul? It put Seattle in a 2nd and 30 situation, so no one seemed to care too much.....but they did eventually convert on 3rd and 19 which led to the fake FG.

It wasn't a dead ball because the refs hadn't blown the whistle yet. It was a bang, bang play.

Well if that is the case, the linemen should always cheap shot defenders as they sack the QB....they'll always decline it.
