**worst finish in history of nfl

[milwaukee mike]

Biggest fiasco in the history of sports

Absolute theft

[jjgold]

what is actual rule

Who comes down with ball on ground??

[milwaukee mike]

Guy has possession FIRST, then its not simultaneous possession

[InTheDrink]

They both had two hands on it all the way

What determines possession?

I don't believe in a higher power but someone or something is putting these replacement refs in some fukked up situations

[trytrytry]

well forget the TUCK rule ending...Jexzzzzzzzzz

I beg to differ, packers' jennings had clear control of the ball. Go frame by frame, tate has left hand in but no hands on the ball and then wraps it up

[LizReed44]

Jeez I'm sorry Mike - you're obviously a Packer Fan (I'm a Viking Fan ironically enough) but Green Bay was flat out robbed in a way that I've never even seen before.

The NFL should be ashamed and embarrassed over this. Getting to the point that there will be an asterisk next to this year's Super Bowl Winner.

[ColdBeerHere]

Don't forget about the blatant pass interference when the WR shoves the DB to the ground....what a joke

I won my teaser, didn't matter anyway to me...but I feel bad for packer backers....

All I can say is....

PAY THE DAMN REFS ALREADY !!!

[milwaukee mike]

Yeah even if that was the bears i'd be completely shocked that wasn't overturned. Given the circumstances of the phantom roughing the passer and phantom pass interference vs the packers, this was crazy

[NYSportsGuy210]

NFL is a mutli-billon dollar industry and they can't afford to give the real referees a bump in pay of an extra $25,000 per referee?

Somebody get Donald Fehr up in this b*tch.

[texhooper]

PAY THE DAMN REFS ALREADY !!!

they will after this. the media is about the eat this situation alive.

[milwaukee mike]

they will after this. the media is about the eat this situation alive.

I agree, after back to back terribly officiated games in prime time the nfl has their back against the wall.

[highroller79]

Jennings had a possession with the ball on his chest with two hands. Tate just put one arm around the ball. Easy call. How could those foot locker fxxxers miss that?

[ssmann]

whats the nickname for this game fellas?

[mtneer1212]

If I am the officials's union, I send the 4th quarter of this game to Roger Godell's office with a note: "Our demands now are increased by 25%. Your move asshole."

[milwaukee mike]

whats the nickname for this game fellas?

Screwjob in seattle?

[daimoshokage]

Move on you fukks.. it's not a playoff game..

[milwaukee mike]

Move on you fukks.. it's not a playoff game..

Move on to what? The game just ended, 39 years i've never seen anything like this and people can't vent for even an hour?

[NardVa]

No way that play should have been called a TD. Jennings clearly had the ball in his possession hugged up to his chest. The black ref had it called right when he waved his hands to indicate touch back/Int.

[kidkonggolf]

Whats the use for instant replay if these refs can't see a clear interception and how about the push off by receiver...they didn't see that?

[rm18]

worst call in sports history

[agendaman]

simultaneous possession of ball call always goes to the offense if this crap keeps up some very disgruntled gambler is going to shoot some people

[Aquaplex]

How about that offensive pass interference right before the catch? GB db got smacked silly in the back.

[No coincidences]

I thought the Pats were screwed last night.

This one's on a whole new indisputable level -- and I hate both teams.

[NYSportsGuy210]

Yep. That same referee called defense pass INT on the Packer DB when Sidney Rice mauled him to get to the ball.

Unbelievable.

[face]

the real refs are LOVING THIS

trying to stay positive and think about something good.

can you imagine being a real referee on strike right now? talk about vindicated, they are feeling good right now.

[iifold]

and we keep watching this garbage...

flags control the outcome of every game...

[DwightShrute]

!!!

[Big Bear]

typical green bay homer...

i thought it was a great game.

[daimoshokage]

Paco is on Packers ML!

[Mike650i]

A few more weeks of this will really hurt the NFL. Goodelle's nuts are going to be squeezed and I think a deal will be done soon or else he'll go down as the worst commissioner of a sport in a long time.

Simultaneous possession does go to the receiver, and this point hasn't been emphasized enough. However, the game was poorly called in the 4th quarter and the call on the field should probably have been an INT in this big play.

But hey, I was on Seattle, and I'll appreciate being on lucky **** here.

The US Olympic basketball team from 1972 would disagree wholeheartedly

[Mike650i]

Damn straight. This was pretty much the nut outcome for them. A controversial bad call that costs a game for a very public team on Monday Night Football.

[The Son Of Sam]

I actually took Seattle and points and I will be the first to say that was just gross.

[Brock Landers]

I had Seattle + 3 1/2, only way I could have won, I loved it LOL
