They're unstoppable!" I'm going to be happy about this one call that finally went in a Seattle team's favor. We NEVER get the breaks - we just get screwed. And I'm tired of hearing the "legacy" teams and their fans whine only when they lose a call.

I might not be as livid, but I would still be upset. I know when we get lucky on a bad call (Wisconsin v. Michigan State in last year's Big 10 Championship) and it's not a good feeling. And that call was nothing compared to this entire game.
Seattle also got screwed on several calls. One of the commentators mentioned it was like ping pong: forward 10 yards and back 15. The Packers just got
more screwed because of the placement of those awful, awful calls: that pass interference call in the fourth quarter that took away an interception, the interception in the end zone, and that shove Tate gave Shields....
The refs are terrible and this has got to be fixed. The games on Sunday were bad enough: yesterday was just laughable. I won't watch another NFL game until it's fixed (and I'm not just being a Pouty Packer while saying that). Football is supposed to be fun, and I couldn't even enjoy any of the games this weekend. They stop every two seconds and you can't even appreciate the plays.
/side note. Take good care of Russell! He is an amazing player and the nicest person you will ever meet. I miss having him play for us.
