Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas is not happy about the way NFL officials are overseeing the games.

According to reports, Thomas believes Seattle’s struggles could very well be attributed to the way their contests are called.

The defending Superbowl Champions are now just 3-3 on the season, and have dropped 3 of their last 4 games. This past Sunday, the team lost a close one on the road to the St. Louis Rams 28-26.

Late in the game with just over 1 minute left, Rams RB Tre Mason fumbled the ball on a play that would have put the game away.

St. Louis appeared to recover the ball though, however, the actual possession remained unclear despite multiple replays.

NFL Head Of Officiating Dean Blandino tweeted on the matter.

Thomas was still less than pleased on the matter. He was quoted as saying he felt the team was “battling the officials.”

“Yeah. At least give us a shot. But you know what? I’m not surprised with the referees this season. If you really look at some plays, we’re playing more than our opponents. We’re playing the referees too. I don’t care what anybody is saying. Something is wrong. That needs to be brought up. It’s kind of crazy how football is turning out now. You give a guy, just because he wears a white and black shirt, he has authority of the game. Man, they need to stay out of it (that’s my key) and let us dominate,” Thomas continued.

There are plenty of football fans that might actually agree with him on this issue. However, one cannot help but think that if the Seahawks had truly been in top form, this game would not have been decided by a failed fumble recovery. Either way, until Seattle rights the ship, it just simply comes off as complaining.
