Pete Carroll Says Referees Played 'Huge Part' in Seahawks' Loss to Packers

Pete Carroll thought the officiating had an outsized impact in the Seattle Seahawks' 17-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

The Seahawks head coach said on 710 ESPN Seattle (via Brady Henderson of ESPN) the referees played "a huge part of the game yesterday":

"So in an effort to try to make sure that we're really on the same page and we're working through it and we call the game together in a sense, you work at it during the course of the game. I've known some of these guys for a long time and they always show respect, and I try to show respect, too.
