Where we did catch a break was not being penalized for what looked to be 12 men on the field, then calling 2 timeouts in a row.

And it was a huge momentum swing that robbed Seattle of a scoring opportunity with good field position. I agree about the two timeouts that was a weird sequence.
Overall I haven't seen much love for the Hawks from officials over the past few decades.......

And for the record, they blew the fumble call as well. Transferring the ball from two hands to one is by definition " a football move" per their own rules. A player doesn't have to complete the transfer only attempt it. As it shows intent by the receiver to protect the ball from an opposing player, the same as a stiff arm, spin, or lowering a shoulder. Transfer of the ball is defined as a "football move".
( unless they ruled he was bobbling the ball which I certainly would think was impossible)

My mistake, there is a penalty, but only if a team is attempting to ice a kicker with the second timeout. What should have happened is the refs simply should have ignored the request. Making it a moot point as Dallas wasn't going to get the snap OFF prior to the defender getting off the field.
If it was deemed to be icing the kicker a fifteen yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct is called.
