Did the NFL give one to the Packers yesterday -- and, especially after the 10 days previous: If so, WHY????

Pete Carroll believes yesterday's game was ref-rigged for the Packers.  I'd have to think about the opposite is true -- that was about the best scenario you were going to get for winning in Lambeau, Coach 12th Man...   

Carroll is pointing to four plays (with links -- again, the NFL does not allow direct embedding and would force you to click through to YouTube):

1. A second-quarter fumble by Rodgers at midfield.  Darrell Taylor emerged with the ball, but the Packers had already been ruled recovering the fumble.  Carroll claims Taylor was laying on the ball and Rodgers was reaching underneath.  There's one problem with that -- and we've seen it several times in the last three weeks:  You must actually have hand-possession of the ball, and full hand-possession of the ball, to be deemed to have gained/retained possession. There have been a couple of fumble calls and a couple of catch calls in the last three or so weeks in this regard.  There is no more "trap the ball between your legs/the opposing player's back/the referee..." possession in the NFL -- and I'm also beginning to wonder if it happens that way in college too.  If Taylor had actually hand-possessed the ball, rather than just laying on it, it's probably Seattle's ball.  (Conspiracy side-point:  There is an increasing movement in the NFL-conspiracy circles that the "super-athletic catches" are as a result of the receivers using magnetic-field "grip gloves", where small magnetic fields can be created between the gloves and magnets in the ball...  Could THAT have something to do with this as well?)   
2. A first-quarter scramble by Russell Wilson and they didn't like the spot.  Carroll didn't like that, during an injury time-out, the effective sky judge came in and changed it to not a first down.  There's a problem with that too -- in a similar vein to the "slide rule", the NFL has become very short on spotting the ball when a quarterback ends a run like that.  It actually cost a team a key touchdown (and the game!) a couple weeks back -- I don't recall the game off the top of my head.   I checked both YouTube and Twitter, as well as the official NFL highlight video of the game -- I can't find this play.
3. A second-quarter holding call which put the Seahawks out of field-goal range on Damien Lewis.  Refs called several offensive holding calls in the game -- at least two on the Packers, one of the least-penalized teams in all of the National Football League.  Carroll's got one here -- this is the classic case of "There's no holding, the player was just overpowered", and that was a HUGE call.  It would've been a 52-yard FG try, but...
4. Kevin King intercepted Russell Wilson in the third quarter in the end zone.  Replays appeared to show the ball coming out and that King should not have been ruled surviving the ground.  Really wish I could find a better one there...  Hoo, that's CLOSE if it's not Carroll with another good point there...  It's an automatic review on the turnover, unlike the fumble in #1, which was a lost challenge -- so this survived the booth review.  Unlike some of these, it looks like the ball is in possession, he hits the ground, THEN the ball comes out a beat afterward, not the ball hitting the ground at the same time as the player and immediately squirting free...  If that's not an interception, it's close...   

Here's the fumble in #1:

Can someone explain to me how this isn’t a clear recovery by Darrell Taylor? pic.twitter.com/ksCsgxxzyc

Yeah, it looks like Rodgers has, at the very least, created the illusion of "joint possession" by the time the refs get there.  Remember, there's often many unspeakable acts in much larger fumble piles than this, because it's not who recovered the ball in actuality, it's who the refs eventually see has the ball recovered when they unpile everyone.   

--------------------

But here's the other question I have on all of this:

If the NFL actually did fuck the Seahawks in this game -- WHY?

You'd THINK the NFL would have a lot of bad blood against the Packer organization and Rodgers in particular for subverting and flaunting COVID protocols...

Just keep that in mind...
