you're right, "handed to gb" was an overreaction on my part, but even counting what should have been int i think gb still got more help over the course of the game. ultimately doesn't matter. everyone who watched that game knew what it was. a ####### joke.
Yep. Pretty clear by the rule, specifically the 2nd sentence: If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control.
It's not simultaneous possession that matters — it's simultaneous control. Control happens whenever a player first controls the ball. He doesn't have to have his feet on the ground or anything (to constitute possession). He just has to have control over the ball, whether he's in mid-air or on the ground or wherever.ETA: Here's the rule: "If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control."
huh? They would have only needed a FG to tie with a safety, so they wouldn't have to go any further that way - it's easier to stop a team from scoring a TD than kicking a FG.

I agree the call was bad. What you can't do is take away the fact that they did fight for and he did keep the play alive. Wilson knows he benefited after seeing the play. Personally I think he handled it pretty well just like everyone else that has been interviewed so far.You act like this happens with frequency. Every commentator on TV has basically said "I've never seen anything like this before." Seriously, it's comical to have him talk about "keeping plays alive" and "keeping fighting out there." That isn't why they won. They won because the refs jobbed the opposing team.
thanks!here ya go.http://i.minus.com/iXEEPF6YDE03z.gif
Shopped.
FTFYHawks D took it to GB.... and at the end when it mattered most the Packers got jobbed. Here come the Hawks!!!
Sweep the Leghere ya go.http://i.minus.com/iXEEPF6YDE03z.gif
Now, how to combine this with Russell Wilson's wife's draft face?here ya go.http://i.minus.com/iXEEPF6YDE03z.gif
Chris Kluwe agreed with him
Give Leon Washington some space and he's getting halfway to field goal range all by himself. Wilson would have only needed to move the team 15-20 yards.
We were tied and he had the GB D. Apparently you get less points on D for allowing 14 points than for allowing 13 points. I won on the extra point. He had Charles and I sat McFadden and Torey Smith. Did not deserve to win.
hey boltz, did you guys ever win a trophy?
oh lol.http://i.imgur.com/D3juN.png
That's the problem, no way should have it ever been a win. If they think this gives them legitimacy, it doesn't. (although the DEF played will in the first half).
The ball is wrapped inside Jennings' arms for crying out loud!! What a joke.
You're stuttering - you just posted this 10 posts ago.
Nah. I heard the players wouldn't be fined for criticizing reffing. Only if they talk smack or try to intimidate on the field. Besides, can't really argue with any of that.
It should be posted about 10 more times because apparently quite a few people are stupid, blind, or intellectually dishonest.
2-1
Yeah I heard that as well.
Not me. I can possibly see an argument for simultaneous possession made by the ref in real time, but I still think it's the wrong call. Plus the missed OPI was pretty bad.Looks like seahawk fans are the only ones who think they made the right call.
It does have to be more than just control. All the normal factors of a catch have to be met along with the control.
Chill out.
No worse than the PI call on Chancellor that kept GB's final TD drive alive.eta; At least Shields had a hand on the jersey so there's a reason for the DPI call, even though I think it was wrong (should've been a no-call). The Chancellor play was textbook defensive excellence.
Fixed, for accuracy.
You say that now after watching it 20 times in slow motion. But seriously, how many people clearly saw exactly what happened when it happened live? I sure had no idea. Seemed close enough live that simultaneous possession seemed reasonable. The way it played out was unfortunate, but not egregious to me. The real refs easily could have ruled the same way.People should stick to the truly blown call of the missed pass interference. That was a worse officiating blunder than the possession issue and that blown call had the same result.
Case in point.
Bad calls went both ways and they have gone both ways in every game this year. Sucks if you are on the losing end but thats life.
Are you pumped full of Valium right now? You should be freaking out.
You drafted Tate?
