Uh.. maybe because it was a running play?

Did you watch the game?

***Did you watch the game?***

Yes - unfortunately.
Anyway, I was being facetious. I'm getting fed up with the 'bad calls' whine. As any long time NFL fans knows, there's that old adage; "The Winners Get The Breaks".

It's really baseless and utter hogwash but 'seems' to be a truism. Going back to '85 I remember all the 'breaks' Da Bears 'seemed' to get early in the season regarding the calls OR non calls that weren't made. Then the 'D' took over about game 9 and the 'non' call breaks became moot.

It's akin to whining about injuries - Gee, only if 'X' didn't get hurt, only if 'Y' didn't ...(blah, blah). Good teams overcome injuries and the 'bad' calls.

Plus the "Zebras" had nothing to do with that stellar clock management the Seahawks exhibited. And the "Zebras" didn't miss all those field goals.
