Yeah, Ben got pushed dead in the back, right between the numbers and was knocked down. A play like that could have hurt him.
No flag. Maybe the officials were all for the Seahawks, huh?
Okay, I feel less like a girl now:). Thanks for validating that concern.
If the SEAHAWKS were truly the superior team yesterday and really plagued by one sided referees, wouldn't they have overcome this obstacle much like the Steelers did against Indianapolis?

The play was "behind" Ben and by running the direction he was and not turning to confront the play, chances are he was considered to be turning his back to the play in order to draw a block-in-the-back penalty or to keep from being blocked. No referee will ever call that as penalty on the blocker. You can't "back-in" to a block.
