WallStreetJournal: Seattle defense relies on brazen tactic: rampant interference
Posted on 1/10/14 at 5:36 pm

On Saturday, the New Orleans Saints take their flashy passing offense up to dreaded Seattle. We wish them the best of luck with that.
The Seattle Seahawks—the favorites to make the Super Bowl out of the NFC—employ an exasperating defensive game plan: They blitz rarely and drop an army of defenders into pass coverage. And those defenders mug, obstruct and foul opposing receivers on practically every play.
Quietly, the Seahawks have achieved a 13-3 record and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs by exploiting a loophole: NFL referees are reluctant to throw endless flags for pass interference and defensive holding, even if defenses deserve them.

Won't matter. Ingram and K-Rob will bring the thunder.

Karate training for receivers should be mandatory when thugs like these are COACHED to cheat and whine. It's truly sickening.

Got a feeling the refs are going to call them on their bullshite tomorrow

I've got a feeling they won't. Refs are human beings and the crowd will get hostile.
Unless the call it a bunch early it won't matter. It's a great strategy really.

Not that I want him to come across as a cry baby, but I hope Payton is in every ref's ear from pregame to final snap about their garbage.

You don't get the calls when you pay on the road. Last week, the Saints were getting called for holding in the 2nd half. The eagles did not get a single offensive holding although they were holding on every play. Expect the same tomorrow. Its the price you pa for not winning home field.

Sucks... especially since they let even more PI go un flagged in the playoffs

I've said this in other threads. Talib is cut from the same cloth

The mantra "they don't call it every time" doesn't work for Corey white.

This week's Terry McAulay crew did Seattle@AZ and called the chickens 10 for 70yds- Best note on that is that they called 2 pass interference and 2 defensive holding calls on them, 3 in the 4th qtr
