5 yard facemask added on to the end of the play...should have been 4th down!

exactly like SF game...I hate this team...

When I play rock, paper, scissors, I keep a glass of water in my hand and when my opponent throws down I throw the water in his face and say "Water". Beats all three, scissors can't cut-it, paper dissolves and the rock sinks. Plus it usually surprises the hell out of them.

Its on the refs.

They gave Seattle an extra down.

Seattle even had the punt team out.

Whis blew it by not getting the official to stop play.

Russ Smith

It was during the play not after the play so the down was replayed after 5 yard penalty.

But it was 2nd and 18?

It was 3rd and 9 after the penalty.

Assface

That's why I was confused. They got the yards from the play, the penalty yards and kept the down.

3-18-SEA 40 (11:12) 8-M.Hasselbeck pass short left to 37-S.Alexander to SEA 44 for 4 yards (25-E.Green). PENALTY on ARZ-25-E.Green, Face Mask (5 Yards), 5 yards, enforced at SEA 44.


3-9-SEA 49 (10:56) 8-M.Hasselbeck pass short middle to 84-B.Engram to ARZ 25 for 26 yards (21-A.Rolle).

TV must have had the down wrong they had 3rd and 18 on radio.

I'm with assface. How did they keep the yardage, the penalty, and the down?

dogpoo32

The fix was in.

Honestly it was surprising to me as well and I didn't totally follow it....but if you look that the rules listed here http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/penaltysummaries it is a 5 yard penalty and does NOT result in the loss of down. It is more or less like a running into the kicker penalty.

TheCardFan

They got the penalty and the play...without using a down.

Chrome_Seahawk

I don't claim to understand the enforcement of it, but the fact that Engram gained 26 yards on the following play kind of shows that the disparity in placement of the ball probably didn't end up mattering.

Would not have been the same play or the same execution. Butterfly effect.

They had the punting unit on the field for 4th down.

The refs screwed up and said it was still 3rd.

They got the first down on 3rd down (and a td)...when they would have punted.
