Because they can block it and run it back.

Ah, right. Clearly, my mind is just too blown to think straight.

 

[Narag]

Seahawks fans need to STFU about ref bias now.

Only until the real refs come back. If they come back. Best weekend of sports entertainment I've seen in a while.

 

[KingGondo]

Only college, pretty sure you get nothing in the NFL.

Ah.

 

[crimzonflame]

this game deserves awards

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[demigod]

Stat whore Jennings cost his team the win.

 

[rekameohs]

No they can't.

Oh wow, then is just even better! Insult to injury.

 

[Plinko]

But the refs on the field, standing right in the endzone, should have been able to get the call right in the first place and not leave it to the replay refs

Doesn't negate my statement in the least.

 

[Maxim726X]

I have a feeling the order was given by the higher-ups in the league office to uphold that call.

I usually don't agree with ridiculous theories like this one- But how could you argue the opposite after what we just witnessed?

 

[ari]

Refs gives erron Rodgers touchdown.....refs gives Wilson touchdown.

Fitting.

Deal with it.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Aren't replays done by people that aren't replacements?

I wonder if they realized all the commotion that was going on and all the celebrating and thought maybe they shouldn't overturn it. Hell when the ref was announcing the ruling after review, Pete Carroll was standing right beside him holding his arms up. Shit was crazy.

 

[darkside31337]

Why the hell didn't they kneel?

Why would they kneel?

 

[Mutanthands]

Brees line is just perfect.

 

[Magni]

Both teams got fucked (let's not pretend like Green Bay's touchdown drive wasn't a joke). Neither of these teams deserved the loss, the game shouldn't even be in the record book. Maybe this entire season shouldn't be.

Exactly.

As a Seahawks fan, this is awesome: we get the win, and we get the real refs back.

 

[slightconfuse]

Brad Maddox would have made the right call

 

[JCizzle]

Is ESPN really not leading with the refs? Fuck off

 

[scorcho]

So Brady, Brees, Peyton, Rodgers, and Ben, all lose in a week, history right there lol

Enters Eli Manning, who is now the elite franchise quarterback in the game.

 

[Cousteau]

Windows 8 for everyone!

 

[calder]

In a perfect world, the refs would have kicked the extra point themselves.

 

[Baconsammy]

McCarthy screwed by the refs and doesn't physically assault them?

Class, Cheat, take lessons.

Coaches of teams in flyover states are wussies.

 

[Newton Crosby]

The mascot should have kicked it

:jnc

 

[SoulPlaya]

I can't stop laughing at this, fuck the Packers.

I can't front.

Fuck em.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Imagine if Green Bay was the home team and this happened....

There'd be riots.

 

[BigAT]

It's like the football gods heard eznark's defense of the scab refs and said 'Woe is you who doth defend these abominations to the sport of football.' And then they gave us that.

:jnc

 

[barkers crest]

Wow, and I thought I had seen it all.

 

[MechDX]

 

[Oozer3993]

NFL 2012 Week 4 |OT| Goodell: "Stop picking at the scabs!"

Still can't get over the fact that people huddled around a monitor saw that play multiple times from multiple angles in multiple speeds, and said:

'Yep. That's a touchdown right there'.

Disbelief.

The hilarious part is that the replay officials, who are NOT SCAB REFS, kept the call.

It was ruled simultaneous possession on the field. That is not reviewable. All they could review is whether the ball hit the ground or the player's feet went out of bounds. Since neither happened, they had to say the ruling stood.

 

[Yaboosh]

Why would they kneel?

Didn't realize you couldn't run it back.

 

[endresults]

Decided to watch the end of the game and HOLY SHIT was I rewarded. Green Bay got jobbed. Feels so right.

 

[StickSoldier]

Yeah they have actual officials reviewing the plays, so Goodell must have put in the call for that to count.

 

[samus4ever]

I'm not even going to watch this joke of refs any more. You want to keep ya millions nfl, I'm going to keep my sanity. Not going to watch, till they get it right.

 

[NervousXtian]

Amazing end!

 

[friskykillface]

why didn't Jennings knock the ball down though ? idiot

If its rule simultaneous possession on the field then its simply not reviewable.

 

[KingGondo]

Replacement Refs go out in a bang

Nah man, we need them to stick around until Thursday. Pretty sure it's the only chance the Browns have.

 

[MattDoza]

Refs gives erron Rodgers touchdown.....refs gives Wilson touchdown.

Fitting.

Deal with it.

When did Aaron Rodgers score? And no, it's not fitting. Nope, won't deal with it.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Seahawks fans need to STFU about ref bias now.

Why? Not the same refs!!

they should stay salty about the SB!

 

[Nightz]

Gruden's face lol.

 

[TheLegendary]

I give up on the season. Nice job NFL, you truly fucked up a good thing. I'll be here. I'll watch, but there's no way you can take this seriously anymore.

 

[msdstc]

Can't even feel good about this. Sorry GB fans that just sucks.

Will say though, you just gotta laugh about that.

edit-

I give up on the season. Nice job NFL, you truly fucked up a good thing.

Really just like that?

 

[Dominican Power]

I'm not even going to watch this joke of refs any more. You want to keep ya millions nfl, I'm going to keep my sanity. Not going to watch, till they get it right.

Who do you think you're fooling?

 

[Plasticine]

I love these refs.

 

[Tamanon]

Is ESPN really not leading with the refs? Fuck off

Wat? Yeah they are.

 

[Nameless]

Bizzaro Week has sucked. Glad it's over. Hopefully we can get back to normal next week with real refs, a Niner Gold and Sanchez getting mouth fucked in front of thousands of people.

 

[Futurevoid]

@omarepps

Dear Roger Goodell, you've got to fix this ref situation. It's DISGUSTING!! Shame on you!!

Tomlin getting fined!

 

[Officerrob]

Gruden needed to shut the fuck up about the Packers being "classy" by coming back to the field. They have no choice you have to kick the extra point.

They didn't need to go back out there. What were they going to do, have them forfeit the game? lol. If I was coaching, no way my guys would go back out there

 

[theytookourjobz]

Replay officials couldn't overturn the call. They said the rule states that they cannot review who caught the ball. I'm sure as soon as they saw the replay they were like fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

 

[mr2xxx]

Amazing week of football minus a bengals victory.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I want Gruden to curse. Do it man, do it.

 

[plantedunicorn]

So what would have happened if the packers refused to come back for the PAT?
