You are dense. No one agrees with your position.
Well, besides the ref that called it a TD.

There were plenty of games where the refs swung the pendulum in a certain direction, but this was the first where the direct result of the game hinged on their incompetence. They stuck the tip inside us yesterday, but we still could have made stops and won.

Easy.... ref blows a call and Ray Lewis kills him in front of millions of people.

Please. The game should have been over when Wilson threw that INT that was reversed due to that roughing the passer call.

Nobody is saying the regular refs never make bad calls.

Tate had one hand on the ball when Jennings was in the air & had both his hands on teh ball, BUT as they were going down, Tate got his other hand on the ball.
This was before Jennings was down.
Tate with both hands on the ball when Jennings head is going down.
Jennings knee touching after his head is going down.
ESPN Eat shit & die with your tweets. LOL I hope this blows back to them & people stop watching their shitty Monday Night games.
Why doesn't the NFL bring in the NHL refs? They aren't doing anything! MUSTACHED REFS FTW!

Seriously, the Lions play happened yesterday even. Bat down the ball, they said. It is safer, they said. It is the smart play, they said. Bwah bwah.

People making up excuses for a bad call..for shame.
The funny thing is the ref himself only called it a TD because he thought the other ref signaled a TD... but he didn't.
Whoops.
Giants/Niners 2003 Wildcard game.
Oh god. So true. (Although that wasn't a hail mary was it? Just a mugging)
The lions catch of 2 years back and the first steelers Super Bowl was fucking atrocious. I like how people are making them seem so fucking great.
....
Fuck the packs.
as long as they keep em on skates.

plz, Steve Bernier's idiocy cost the Devils that game.
We aren't discussing the whole game here man. We are discussing the last play of the game.
You might as well have said The packers should of scored 100 touchdowns in the first quarter and this wouldn't have been an issue.

Just for purists' sake, please add an asterisk to your post.
I think ESPN is totally right making this as big as it is.
Like it or not, this is the DEFINITIVE first time, the replacement refs have decided the outcome of a game. This was the last play, it decided points, and it decided the outcome.
That's different than the refs marking off the wrong yardage with another quarter of play left. In this scenario, the players could no longer do anything to change the outcome.
Horrible. Absolutely horrible. The fact that the booth couldn't determine possession is irrelevant. We had two refs come in and both make different class.

I was rooting for SEA, but this ending actually wasnt' as bad as the media is saying it is. I initially thought it was a horrible call, but replays definitely suggest that was a rough/difficult call.
The refs before were really shitty as well.

Put the players on skates too to get some some crossover fans.

I haven't read the thread today, but I'm assuming someone trolled Brees when he complained about the refs?
They'll be able to skate on Soldier Field soon enough.

Both players have their hands on the ball BEFORE Jennings comes down.
Unless I'm wrong, full possession means having control AND both feet on the ground.
Seahawks win LEGIT. ESPN trying to drum up controversy.
Alright, let's play your game. Since when does an offensive player having part of his hand on the ball without both feet on the ground constitute a legal catch? At the very least, it's incomplete for either team. At most, it's an INT for the Pack. But what it is not, is a TD. Yeah, there's going to be way too much bitching about it because of the replacements. But the reality is, they got the call wrong on the field.

Agreed!
Let's see your team last ten years over 500 before trashing them.
2 and out doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Holy shit.

and to think that Rodgers slipping and falling was going to be the only highlight of the game
The problem is that the regular refs have screwed up the end of games, as well. I'm not saying that the regular refs aren't better, but ESPN is acting like this is an unprecedented act that will now shatter the integrity of the NFL.
Between Bettman and Goddell we are living in a golden era of awful sports commissioners.
It's not even strictly about calls missed/made. These replacements have absolutely no control over the game. They're game management skills are severely lacking, and something that is really underappreciated after seeing what's happened the first 3 weeks.
