The more I think about the refs did everything possible to help Seattle.
It probably had to do with Puka's comments unfortunately.

He didn't even try to go downfield. The seagulls dlineman blatantly pulled him over. Nobody could see it any other way. Well, except, you know.
Puka screwed the Rams yesterday due to his embarrassing display with those internet clowns.

Exactly, well said. You could see McVay telling the ref how? We are on the one yard line. Ridiculous. Puka running his mouth is not a blank check for retribution from the refs.
No he didn’t. He spoke on his opinion, they proved it as fact.
Puka did everything to win that game.
Puka gave it absolutely everything he had last night only to come up short because of things outside of his control.
Immature? Yeah, maybe. Do I blame him for lashing out? Not really.
I will say this though prior to last night's events... we had previously been treated very, very kindly by the refs throughout the course of the season. I really don't understand why he felt the need to say the things he did in the first place. Refs are humans that absolutely have natural bias, but I don't see how Puka's comments are going to do anything but sway that bias in the opposite direction.

I don't know who Dov Kleiman is but his take on the fine is pure smooth-brained bullshit.
We’re all human and react differently as officials. No evidence of taking frustrations out on officiating Puka directly. I imagine he’s still bitter about the PI that wasn’t called in crunch time last year. That tug and pull would have been worth some money in places that Robert Kraft frequents.
Was thinking about the ref's and game last night. The problem is that for everyone one they flag, they miss probably 3 or 4, whether it's holding or pass interference etc. Then the bigger problem is when they get that one they do call wrong. I mean it has to be a pathetic called vs non called rate and then if the called vs actual is not 100% then it's unfair. Then you add these two together and it's almost impossible to argue that the refs don't sway (favor) the game one way or another.
In this day and age, it seems like you could easily have AI evaluate most plays, with a live person and come to a fairer ruling within seconds after each play. They have to find a way to take out some of the subjectivity of the human call. I don't know, maybe that is fantasy.
Seems like if the NFL was confident in the way the game was reffed they would put out a statement today clarifying at least a couple of the calls made but they don't do that and for good reason, to protect themselves. They are really lucky they have a product that has such loyal fans.

He did not.
The Rams lost the game, not the Refs.
Bullshit calls happen.
Hit your FG.
Don’t give up a fucking TD on a punt return.
Puka CRUSHED it… was amazing.
Areas that have been problems for the Rams are why they lost with the biggest blame going to special teams.

Actually it was the lineman down field at the goal line. There is 4 points right there. Strictly my opinion of course but that was the biggest screw up by the refs of all knight.
Good concept, but I’m going to disagree with you. AI would not be able to distinguish between small and big fouls. Football would be turned into a game of cricket and wouldn’t end.
I beg to differ.
He belittled all the refs on what ended up being mainstream coverage. The refs screwed the Rams good and proper during the game. Thus Puka screwed the Rams.
Didn't say the refs lost the game for the Rams. They did a good enough job of that themselves.
That drive after what should have been the game winning interception drove me absolutely batty. After that drive I told my wife the Rams are gonna lose this game. Next second the seagulls returned the punt for a td. A classic case of conservative coaching directly affecting player performance, for both teams.

What a dullard.
He probably doesn't realize it but if he continues with this he is costing himself money.
If clicks and online clout matters that much to him....well, like I said....
McVay was not happy and shouldn't be.
Hopefully at years end its all of a goofy moment and memory.
If it continues it is going to be an issue.

The punt was bad.
Also, McVay threw. He just didn't run up the middle and punt. TEs dropped passes and the OL was getting beaten.
Then, a terrible punt.
As McVay said a flat low punt that was not at all what they were trying to do. Because of the bad punt, one of two Evans had, the coverage was out of position and it was a relatively easy return.
A false start on the snapper....only a sort of amazing kick managed to avoid a block to give the Rams another chance at it.....a missed kick, bad punts and coverage.
The Special Teams are the worst in the league by a large margin.
To be honest I don't think the refs give one squirt of piss about what is said about them.
Ive known a couple of officials who working high level D1 and pro ball.
They didn't give a fuck because they know most fans don't know the rules. Also, it has no bearing on what they do.
The Rams blew the game and it started with the special teams.....again.
