out by about an inch each time the ref is running to the pylon, that's tough to see live, so they call the TD to get the automatic replay.
Also better to say he's in if in doubt. You can always fix it after. Can't repair the mistake if you call him out when he's in

And if on those 2 fourth-downs inside the one, if Seattle stops them twice ....?

So now it comes down to the onside...
That's what happens when you chicken out on 4th down. Chances of converting 4th and 14 are higher than recovering an onside kick. But here we are.

Seattle will get the ball back even if they don't recover the onside kick, if GB doesn't get a first down.  They have the two minute warning and one timeout.  Probably get it back with around 40 seconds or so.  Obviously, the onside kick is huge, but GB can't turtle up unless they want to get into serious ass-clenching time at the end.

They better hope the onside play is finished before the 2 min warning so even if they fail have the 2 min warning + TO and could get the ball back w time.

Would have had awful field position.

Think the second one was fine but kicking in the inch line was bad
