Clearly a touchdown ?

Clearly a dumb ass

[byronbb]

The only thing I can think to actually give tate the td is that his feet are on the ground with his hands on the ball whereas jennings is in the air.

[spankie]

Td for sure. ...

[jizay]

That did not happen. One ref signaled to stop the clock, the other signaled a TD. No signal for an INT at all.

There is no such thing as an INT signal. There are 3 signals the ref could make: TD if it's a TD, incomplete if it's incomplete, and hands waving over the head if it's a touchback, which means it is an INT. One ref therefore signaled INT.

[paranoyd androyd]

Don't the officials signal to stop the clock, before signaling a touchback?

Not in the endzone, play is over on possession by either team. The key factor is there wasn't a signal for a touchback or a simple pointing the other way which would've indicated an INT, only a signal for a TD.

Yes, typically.

OK, I see what you're saying.

[SteveRyan]

This picture is no good.

It was taken LOOOOOONG after the receivers were down. You can see the refs leg in the picture.

Any call on this play would be based upon what happened several seconds prior to this photo.

Regardless, there was not enough conclusive evidence to prove that the ball was not caught simultaneously. A simultaneous catch goes to the passing team.

[yahoonino]

i blame on the replay official,,wtf they doing ?????

[paranoyd androyd]

OK, I see what you're saying.

Yeah, it was a pretty messed up situation but the only call that seemed to seal the fate of the decision was the TD signal.

The other possible reason the other guy signaled to stop the clock is that he knew there was little time left in the game and saw that there was a lot of commotion. Maybe he wanted to stop the clock so it didn't keep running in the meantime while they sorted it out? Just speculating of course.

[NardVa]

If you didn't know any circumstances surrounding the game and somebody showed you the hailmary play by itself in slow motion I guarantee everybody would say Jennings is the WR and he caught the ball.

[Harry N. Lloyd]

You're a fool.

[Harry N. Lloyd]

Lol @ Seattle backer saying it was a TD. You all need to get off the BS. Yes your bet cashed but no need to be blind to what really happened.

He's full of shit. He didn't cash any bet.

[Harry N. Lloyd]

I say he didn't cash a ticket because I cashed a bet on Seattle (split getting +3 and +150 on the ML), but I recognize that it was the luckiest win ever. A total joke. I say we get pitchforks and torches and go find out where Goodell lives. He has ruined his legacy (a la Art Modell).

[shopbar picks]

I agree with harry

[icancount2one]

I've just seen so many cases where the possession is 70-30 or worse in favor of the defender, and they rule it a completion. In that freeze frame you guys keep quoting Golden Tate has both hands on the ball even though the DB has it in his arms, which was the case before they hit the ground.

If it wasn't replacement refs and the MNF announcers didn't both come out so strongly on their interpretation, I don't think it would be that controversial.

what about the 2 bogus pass interference calls on seatle to get the pack 9 pts ?????????

seatle deserves the win

I agree. There were bad calls on both sides, and this was far from the worst one.

I somewhat agree. If it was called an int and reviewed they probably come back and say "ruling on the field stands" instead of confirmed.

I think you're right. I don't think the visual evidence was "indisputable" to overturn the ruling on the field.

[GunShard]

Td for sure. ...

lol

[icancount2one]

Clearly a touchdown ?

Clearly a dumb ass

I didn't say it was "clearly" a touchdown. I said I think it's a touchdown. That's just, like, my opinion man.

If you didn't know any circumstances surrounding the game and somebody showed you the hailmary play by itself in slow motion I guarantee everybody would say Jennings is the WR and he caught the ball.

Yeah, if Jennings is the WR, it's a touchdown. What I'm saying is whoever is the WR gets the catch there regardless.

[neverstoppers23]

lol, are you high?

[SteveRyan]

It was a touchdown.

When both receivers hit the ground, Tate's grasp of the ball prevented Jennings from relieving himself of that grasp.

We have simultaneous possession.

We have a touchdown.

[PAYTON20]

Honestly if you took Green Bay in this game, it was so square, you deserved to lose

[Stevedore]

One thing though that's why they tell defenders to KNOCK THE BALL DOWN. Can't catch it when it hits the ground.

Tell that to the TENN. defender who tried to do exactly what you said only to have the ball end up in a Detroit receivers hand for the tying touchdown. Jennings did exactly what he's supposed to do, caught it at its highest point without question. He did his job, refs didn't do theirs.

Bet the NFL at your own risk with these scabs, I won my teaser, but I'm boycotting this BS. The NFL is telling the fans and bettors they don't give a fuk about you or the integrity of its game. If they don't care why should I or the fans? Stop being sheep or enablers to these greedy fuking owners and pass on this fraud of a game

"I didn't see the play, I turned it off at halftime" said Jerry Jones. Suuuuuuuuuuuure you corporate fuking D-bag!!! Open your eyes people and stop taking it up the ass!!!!

I had Seattle.

By the way, I'm from Seattle. It will always be The Jet City to me and the home of the Seattle Supersonics. : )
