I don't give a shit about who won. I also don't think the refs lost the game for Seattle (Holmgren's play-calling did that).
But I do think it's bullshit that any team ever has to overcome poor officiating as part of the path to a win. I also think a better officiated game would have given Seattle a better chance to win the game.
The fact that you've written off poor officiating as just part of NFL football is pathetic IMO. The fact that you think everyone else should approach it with the same apathy as you is just plain reeruned.
And before you tell me to stop watching football if I don't like it, I suggest you stop opening threads full of bitching and moaning if you don't like it.
Just what this place needed, another clueless asshole who's opinion is more important than anyone else's.

Not a bad take, unfortunately, the conspiracy theorists will detract from your well thought opinion above and it won't mean squat.
IMO, we need to double the salary of the refs and make them full time employees of the NFL. I don't think they threw the game as some people will say, but I do think they make bad calls every game. Give them a better salary, more days in training, and make their salaries contingent upon their ability to call a good game - fine them for bad calls.
I also believe a great deal of the game today doesn't even need officials. We have too much technology not to employ it. Boundaries and planes can easily be defined by electronic markers in the field and in the footballs. I am sure people can come up with dozens of other processes that can eliminate human judgement altogether.
