It's not a bullsh*t call. It is always illegal for the receiver to push off the defender beyond 5 yards. The fact that the refs usually let them get away with it doesn't make it any less so.

It was bullshit because the refs didn't call the defensive interference when the DB made contact with Jackson on the goal line during that play.

He let the DB put his hands on Jackson on the goal line, which should have been illegal contact. But then got stingy a few steps later when Jackson pushed off. If you're going to call a tight game, at least be consistent.

It would be hard to be a Seahawks fan today, seeing so many bad calls going aganst one team.

I was totally dumbfounded by that. How can they call blocking below the knees on a clear tackle??

Unless you grab or pushoff that is just incidental contact IMO... He was running his route back and forth and they tangle up, that is fine.. But when the ball is thrown he pushes off to get seperation.. It is a iffy call but it is the correct one.. It is not called enough unfortuneatly, and that is why we get all the complaining..
