Any chance the NFL will reverse this game?

Deuce · 09-25-12, 01:52 AM

No

It is what it is. You'd have to rewrite the entire history of the nfl if it were to be reversed.

Reminds me of Armando Gallaraga perfect game

They could have easily reversed the call and given him the perfect game and nobody would be upset about it. But they didnt.

Cant go back and change the result of a game. Has to happen at that time.

NFL had a chance to reverse the call when it was reviewed. Goodell should have been on the phone and said reverse that play to an INT or I will lose my fkn job.

It is what it is.

I am going to write Roger Goodell a stern letter in times new roman 12 point font.

I have tickets to the Packers Saints game next week and I dont even want to go now.

I want to boycott NFL. This is bullshit.

Try to get into the game as a ref. Can't be that hard, just go out of your way to get the right look.

You'll be famous.

Can the NFL announce tomorrow that the Packers get the win?

Is there any precedent for something like this?

Can the NFL reverse the game based on the last call of the game?

If ever there was a time for it, I think this is it.

Goodell has the power to overturn a game's results.

Yes. Goodell can change the outcome over a game.

I agree, an unprecedented f*ck up should provoke an unprecedented response...but it won't happen. That would be the NFL admitting what an absolute failure and mistake it is arguing about the petty amount of money (relatively) with the real refs.

i thought gb can protest this, but they never get overturned.

jjgold · 09-25-12, 10:47 AM

No

Not clear enough

From what I know about the rules, yes "Commissioner" Goddell can step in and overturn the call if he feels it is in the best interest of the NFL. However, the likelihood of such an event occurring is slim to none because it would be giving in to the fact that the game needs the real referees.

To the similarities of the Armando Galaragga situation; though similar there are many differences. The perfect game call did not change the outcome of the game as the Detroit Tigers ended up winning the game. Last night's call CHANGES the outcome of the game and will have a direct impact on the entire season. In addition, baseball has very limited instant replay and has the protocol of not changing the call. However, the NFL has branded itself on the fact that the use of instant replay is to make sure the game is played and called in the right fashion and this simply goes against that message. Goddell has the obligation to the league's brand and to its owners and fans to overturn this call but I simply do not see this happening.

Goddell changes the ruling and awards Packers 12 - 7 victory - +40000
Goddell does nothing - -60000

place your wagers

txrangers · 09-25-12, 11:14 AM

yes he can. but he's a bitch that only steps out of his office when he's fining a player.

CanuckG · 09-25-12, 11:15 AM

No.

cheese danish · 09-25-12, 11:20 AM

They need to fix this such bs

ChalkyDog · 09-25-12, 11:23 AM

No way. Think of the gambling angle on that story.

Good lord, that would spark a fire.

5mike5 · 09-25-12, 11:24 AM

not a chance

bankOmAn · 09-25-12, 11:28 AM

Hell I thought there was NO chance that TD was upheld but look what happen...I wouldn't rule anything out. Lots of crazy shit happening.

Axis · 09-25-12, 11:53 AM

I think it'd be a terrible choice to change the outcome.

Bad calls happen that affect outcomes all of the time...this just happened to occur right at the end of the game. What about the 2 Pass INT. calls that allowed GB to continue a drive to score, and Seahawks extended a drive on a bad Pass INT. call as well.

There were plenty of calls in that game that could have changed that outcome that were bad/missed.

Maybe he should have turned over that Lions/Bears game a few years back with calvin's catch/no catch, no?

To much shit to deal with...life sucks, bad call...

Seattle also extended a drive on a phantom roughing the passer penalty on a Green Bay interception. I can hardly bare to watch this crap today. Looking at Mangini break down the last play of the game, it appears that the Seahawks comitted 2 penalties on the play AND then got the bogus call at the end by the ref who was 15 yards away from the play. Brutal, but life goes on.

It would set a terrible precedent.

Hustler11 · 09-25-12, 12:33 PM

The integrity of the game is going away at a fast pace. Good job Goodell, you greedy slimebag.

if you thought this gm had any integrity left before this play you were blinded,,,this gm lost integrity the minute these clowns started manipulating the rules to create more offense for purposes of fan enjoyment and disguising it under "player safety", trust me if they gave a flying fukk about player safety they wouldnt be playing every thur and pushing for a 18 gm schedule...
