During a 15-minute press conference that touched on a wide variety of topics and concerns, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman dropped more than a few intriguing nuggets.
Here’s one: Sherman said the NFL admitted after Sunday’s loss to the Saints that the officials made three mistakes that hurt the Seahawks, including a pair of illegal picks from the New Orleans offense and a holding call on cornerback Deshawn Shead.
The league typically bristles when teams disclose the content of communications regarding in-game errors. In this case, coach Pete Carroll didn’t directly cross the line; he apparently told Sherman and possibly others about what the league said privately.
Sherman separately suggested that the league is trying to keep the Seahawks from winning, and he pointed to the constant pipeline to the league office.
So how does he account for the fact that the Seahawks usually thrive during Monday night games?
“Maybe because they don’t want the refs to control the game in those games,” Sherman said. “Too many people watching in prime time. They can’t make it look that obvious.”
Plenty of mistakes are made in prime time and beyond. The Seahawks have benefited from some mistakes in the past, and they have been burned by others.
There’s no conspiracy against the Seahawks or any other team. However, the prevalence of mistakes invites scrutiny and speculation as to why and how they’re happening. Regardless of whether there’s a conspiracy to help a given team or to hurt a given team (there isn’t), there’s an inclination to assume that errors don’t happen as a result of periodic incompetence but conscious design.

Cool.
Let's show all of the illegal picks that the Seahawks do on offense, since it is a known staple of their's.

The fans are all over the Seahawks for what they have been getting away with at the story link in the comments section.

Saints figured something out against the Seahawks. Seattle holds defensively on many plays and gambles that the refs are not going to call it on every play. There are quotes where they admit that. So the Saints showed what the right counter move is for the offense: set up frequent pick plays and the refs probably won’t call every one of those either.

The Seahawks deliberately coach their players to cross the line knowing that the majority of their fouls will not be called.
We’re all tired of watching Seahawk games where they win because of uncalled infractions. Saw one a couple of weeks ago.
So the vast majority of us are now very glad they’re being called on this manure. About time.

Look I thought the officiating was poor but of all teams for us to benefit from poor officiating I am glad it was them. They are the last team in NFL who should be complaining about refs. They literally tackled Julio with ball in air.

It's been said many times but no team has benefited from the officiating like Seattle. Everyone knows how they play on defense, frick their crying.

Sherman got away with a key hold no call just a week prior and the week before

Question, how do y'all think this is going to affect the game this Sunday? Do you think the refs are going to be on a look out?

This. Sundays TD on the pick play probably brought back some bad memories. This play is awfully familiar to that team
Malcolm butler int
Literally the exact same play. They just couldn't execute it

Saints provided a blueprint for other teams to follow. May the Seahawks lose every game.
