This is the perfect scenario for the union.

 

[Steed]

Of course the home crowd gets the call

 

[JHuber77]

The NFL can't claim that the replacement refs didn't cost someone the game after tonight. Pay the regular refs and lets get this season on with.

Horrible

 

[cobalt_27]

SEA didn't earn that win. They should send Rolex watches to the refs who gifted them the W.

What an atrocious call. Simply inexcusable.

 

[Shutout]

If this doesn't get things changed, we need to boycott week4 or something. Something has to get the attention of the NFL to change this.

 

[cobalt_27]

The league is officially a joke.

Completely uncredible games being played.

 

[DarkManX]

That is simply a horrible call, how can you pay the TD? If the NFL needs a wakeup call to pay the refs, this week was certainly the week.

 

[JHuber77]

Now they aren't going to try for the extra point?

 

[kurtrudder]

This travesty, added to the joke officiating in the Ravens/Pats game, this MUST be the catalyst to get rid of the replacement refs.....truly truly awful!!

 

[Manster]

OMG!!!! WTF!!!! HOW DID THEY CALL THAT A TD? THEY REVIEWED IT AND STILL COULDNT GET IT RIGHT!!! HAHAHA!!!! WOW!!!

I bet the replacement refs are payed off by the real refs so they can get back to work.

 

[The Jerk]

We can only hope this travesty ends. I'm the first to acknowledge that even the best officials miss calls, but these games are becoming almost unrecognizable. But really, is anyone truly that surprised? We know the pedigree of these officials. It's ridiculous beyond belief that a sport awash in cash has allowed 3/16th of their regular season to be run like this. No excuses.

 

[JHuber77]

What??? They are gonna kick the extra point without the other team on the field?

 

[biggamer3]

I want the NFL to pay me back my Packers ML bet

 

[Koya]

Gamechanger

 

[a_troll00]

Utter and absolute incompetence on display on national television. This was a terrific game marred by horrid officiating, not just at the end but throughout the entire evening. Heck, the officiating this entire weekend was atrocious!

These scrubs are simply not qualified to be officiating these games. Goodell, get the regular refs back. NOW!!!!

 

[The Jerk]

These games have no credibility. I'm not sure that this isn't worth than the replacement games, because at least they were played on a level playing field.

 

[Hooper31]

Lulz. I'm a seahawk homer, and that was embarrassing.

 

[In The Zone]

Brutal. If I were GB I wouldn't send players back out for a PAT.

 

[JHuber77]

I hope every one of the million public owners of the packers has something to say to the nfl and goddell now.

Let me know how this works out for you.

 

[bonesman]

Boycott

 

[jonessed]

How much damage have they already done though? The game has turned into a joke.

 

[Soulfly3]

Do Americans really fear being labelled a Socialist so badly that they won't create a vocal, public outrage/boycott over this?

Save a league. Support a Union.

 

[meyerj31]

As a Packers fan I am completely inconsolable. This is unreal. Three times on the final drive these replacement refs cost us the game. That 40 yard pass interference was mind-blowing. Then they miss the push off where Tate went to get the ball. After all that they award the ball to Tate when Jennings clearly caught the ball and had it to his chest.

Just unreal. I cannot believe I just witnessed that.

 

[texasheat]

In before Mad Sweeney comes in saying it was a good call.

 

[werdnoynek]

i think we can officially put an asterisk next to this season...

 

[wigg12]

Lost this week by 2 points due to the extra point. Would have tied with no extra point. Would have won if the interception was called correctly by the ref at the end of the game. oh my god... i am shocked

 

[CrossEyed]

[Angry Beavers]

Horrific call but possession is not reviewable by the booth from what I understand.

 

[Clutch is Eli]

Most bizarre ending I have EVER seen.

 

[Soulfly3]

Lost this week by 2 points due to the extra point. Would have tied with no extra point. Would have won if the interception was called correctly by the ref at the end of the game. oh my god... i am shocked

Your league giving 2pts for a point after is the bigger issue here.Unless it's your team DEF, then we can carry on

 

[Warrior]

 

[Dentist]

Disaster on the biggest stage how many people lost bets or fantasy games over that. Almost as bad as that mlb ump who made a hugely terrible call and cost a pitcher a no hitter

 

[Clutch is Eli]

Lost this week by 2 points due to the extra point. Would have tied with no extra point. Would have won if the interception was called correctly by the ref at the end of the game. oh my god... i am shocked

Now these replacement refs are costing us games!!

 

[Multiple Scores]

Packers 1-2

Ouch

I think I just moved up a couple of places in the standings as a Golden Tate owner.

 

[Raider Nation]

Of course the home crowd gets the call

The Immaculate Deception agrees with you.

 

[Bankerguy]

Lulz. I'm a seahawk homer, and that was embarrassing.

Thanks for being honest. Lots of people with blinders on in the game thread.Anyone who knows anything about the game of football knows that was an interception.

 

[24seven]

SOOOOOOOOO glad the refs were on the Seattle ML too.

 

[HairySasquatch]

Another Seahawk fan here....we don't deserve the W.

 

[Ray Barboni]

Absolutely love Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll and everything the sea hags are doing....but that was a joke. True blue Lions fan here, the Pack got robbed and give them all the credit in the worked for not rioting at that decision. Terrible call. Class organization Green Bay is running, McCarthy should get coach of the year based on that call alone...keeping his guys under contol was worth more than a SB win IMO

Nope... I have packers def and 14 points against cost me 2 points versus 13 points against. not a kicker situation

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

I think this might lengthen the lockout. I still doubt the NFL caves. The NFL has never caved and this will make the union feel they have a chance to win and they will dig in.

 

[Labrynth]

The smallest missed calls or bad plays can turn a game from a win to a loss, but it is always the last play that is remembered. That "touchdown" became the face of this issue. A clear indication that these refs are changing the outcome of the game. A resolution this year becomes a possibility.

 

[Nucker101]

I'm still in shock, that was brutal. I'm surprised that Green Bay even came out for the PAT, I surely wouldn't have. Just pay the real refs already! The greed is just ridiculous.

 

[KellysHeroes]

NFL doesn't care, thier product is still making big bucks. Once we stop betting on NFL they will feel the pinch.
