Packers at Seahawks (2 Viewers)

[sporthenry]

This is really fun for a non Sea Hawk/Packer fan. Not sure how Goodell isn't on the phone for this call.

 

[THE SNOWMAN]

Oh my gosh guys, what a ####ed up game ... refs will be back, I have no doubt. Refs should now up the ante.

 

[sharptongued1]

Tate had an offensive PI to top it off.

BLATANT push off that nobody here is even mentioning.This is ridiculous....

Yeah, he completely knocked Sam Shields down when he shoved him in the back right before he jumped for the ball.

 

[Phenix]

Yup, Carroll just called out the Refs on MNF, this is not going good for the NFL.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Seriously Seahawks fans, it's cool to be excited about a win. But there is no way you deserved this victory.

Not a Seahawks fan but I live here and I agree. The problem is the officiating is so bad it affects the outcome of games too many times over to know who would win in a Legitimate contest. Someone in here posted that regardless of who wins it would be illegitimate. He was right. Wipe this and about half the games played thus far off the books.

Well at the end of the season in the standings, there isn't a "deserved to win" column.

No disagreement. But really, the last 5 minutes had 3 game-changing plays in favor of Seattle, and all 3 were bad calls. Absolutely brutal. The entire NFL should be embarrassed by this.

 

[Hawks64]

GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!TIE GOES TO THE RUNNER!

 

[Donnybrook]

Some pretty blatant pass interference. Awesome job, Goodell.

Goodell is just defending the shield and the integrity of the game. Real refs are sittting at a bar somewhere laughing, knowing that going to get paid soon.

 

[Cripster]

I hope this does it. Hurting the game.

 

[jwp]

NFL is becoming like professional wrestling.

 

[joffer]

I don't think you can review for simultaneous possession.

 

[G5781]

I think spot challenges should be done away with, I really don't think they get a ton of these right.

Well they got this one right.

They got most of them right tonight (except for that PI call on Finley). Cant complain about these guys tonight, they're doing a pretty good job

 

[Jim Otto]

Tie goes to the receiver?

nvm Tirico just "explained" it.

[Bigboy10182000]

One guy has the ball, with 2 hands, against his chest and the other guy has ONE HAND on it!!

 

[mad sweeney]

no officials even there for the PAT. What a gigantic cluster####.

 

[Romofan]

This reminds me of when Pacquiao got robbed...

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Simultanius catch has to be packers int

Simultaneous catch would be Seahawks TD.

 

[kurtrudder]

I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW

Sadly I 100% agree, words can't describe how bad a call this is.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Not For Long

 

[Philogelos]

y'all ready for the fight at the end of the pat?

 

[Reepicheep]

Packers should just stand there in protest.

make up call for Super Bowl XL.

 

[AB in DC]

Just saw the replay again. Looks like Tate lost possession when his right hand came off the ball. I think that breaks the "tie"

 

[HellToupee]

flag GB for too many men

 

[GoBirds]

Actually, the real Refs suck too, who cares it makes things a little more interesting.

 

[Gawain]

The amazing thing is everyone is here is going to bash the refs.....AND IT"S THE 100% RIGHT CALL

Watch it again.

The obvious O PI non call aside. Even if the D player "has more of the ball" it's still the O's ball.

Except Jennings is down before tate gets two hands on the ball.

 

[Marvin]

Fun Fact: Before becoming replacement refs most of these guys were cops in the Grand Theft Auto universe.

 

[flc735]

Oh they screwed it up. The replacement refs just cost the Packers the game. The NFL is so screwed.

nope. correct calltate had both hands on the ball so it is technically a "tie" and a tie goes to the offense

A former NFL ref disagreed with you.

Yep, he said there was no joint possession. Tate had a hand on the ball, but that doesn't constitute possession.

as the president of the united states, i stand by my claim i dunno, looks like join possession to me. he had both hands on the ball. didn't look like much of a grip though

 

[flapgreen]

Players coming back onto the field now. Just keeps getting better.

[sporthenry]

And now Packers have to find their helmets and waste 10 more minutes. This is beyond hilarious.

[kurtrudder]

Simultanius catch has to be packers int

Simultaneous catch would be Seahawks TD.

Simultaneous catch is not an issue here. Jennings had the ball first.

 

[solorca]

I've watched the play over and over, and it's still a touchdown to me (and I don't have a dog in this fight). Jennings hadn't established possession yet (because you have to complete the catch, feet down) when Tate got his hand on the ball. I think it's clearly simultaneous possession.

Obviously I'm in the minority here, but I think it was the correct call.

Regardless, I'm glad it's being considered a bad call, because it may FINALLY be the thing that gets the real refs back.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Well...just when you thought it could not get any worse.

And it gets worse. How can they not overturn that? Pretty clearly an INT.

It couldn't be overturned because the simultaneous catch part (and the pass interference part) are not reviewable.The only way for it to be overturned would be if the ball hit the ground, or if Jennings stepped out of bounds, or something like that.

 

[MaxThreshold]

Seahawks lost that game. What a joke.

not only that, TATE had a clear PI there as well. Seahawks have no respect from me.

The people with GB -3 are all pumped up.

thanks for bringing me a chuckle.

I don't think you were watching the right play. Tate never had possession.

 

[Army Eye]

I can understand thinking it was simultaneous possession in real time. (thought I can NOT understand missing that pass interference, the most blatant I've ever seen)

But they had a chance to make it right with the replay!!! What happened!?!??

 

[stbugs]

Oh they screwed it up. The replacement refs just cost the Packers the game. The NFL is so screwed.

nope. correct calltate had both hands on the ball so it is technically a "tie" and a tie goes to the offense

is that true?

yes. the rule itself is kind of stupid, but that is the rule. the refs made the right call.

No, they didn't. As mentioned by the ex-NFL ref on the show and multiple people in this thread Tate clearly only has one hand in the mix and then starts fighting for the ball. Tirico just said it again that Jennings had the ball first and then Tate fought for it. It was pretty clear from the replay that Jennings has it and Tate is falling back waiving his right hand and then goes after the ball.

 

[VaTerp]

The amazing thing is everyone is here is going to bash the refs.....AND IT"S THE 100% RIGHT CALL

NO, it's not. Jennings controlled it first therefore it was not simultaneous.Secondly, the PI call on Shields and no-call on Tate's pushoff were AWFUL.Just AWFUL. Shameful display tonight.

 

[ponchsox]

If that's not an INT, I don't know what is. What a disgrace.

 

[Jim Otto]

That extra point just cost/won a game in the league I commission.

This should be fun tomorrow. Maybe I just turn the ringer off.

 

[bakes]

Thats why you bat the ball away as a defender I guess

Or bat the defender away from the ball with a two hand shove.

All kidding aside it seemed to be an INT, but a lot of teams don't deserve to win games and they do anyway. Something being "deserved" is subjective and not all that tangible in sports.

INSANE!

The billionaire NFL owners are trying to break the ref union with these worthless scabs so they can save a couple of hundred thousand dollars.

IS IT WORTH IT YOU SCUM BILLIONAIRES?????????

IS IT WORTH IT??????????????

Tirico: "Packers will have one of their worst flights home ever."

Obviously, he didn't see the Eagles game yesterday.

I'll happily donate to any fine McCarthy gets for blasting the refs.
