ok
Is that supposed to disprove it or something? No view of the ball isn't really helping your point.
It's okay, we all saw it. We all know now that the catch was legit.
I knew you'd come around wienke. All that anguish after the NFCCG was just frustration with your team. You couldn't hate us forever :')
Everything except promoting fascism.

Cmon, the Seahawks reciever clearly caught the Packer defender who caught the ball. That counts, right?

Good start. Had to get off the field after that Hail Mary.
Damn Dallas fans stunting already?

Bad series there
You said "he extended his arms but he didn't push anyone" which is false

That's the kind of flat footed across the body throws that Cam throws for pick 6s
You said there was no defender there to be pushed. These are your words.
Jokes as old as your last Super Bowl win.

And why would I want them?
Fuck! Close one
So bummed about Jordy

Probably because everybody focused on the fact that he didn't catch it.

Another bad series. But I'm more inclined to give credit to the Giants D there, we did at least try to run it.

He didn't catch it.
When did he say this?

Like I said, it's not really a change of rules if the NFL consistently calls it every single game. It's an unwritten nuance that literally everyone knows about and surprises no one. It doesn't give any one team the advantage via blown calls due to the consistency in which the rule is applied in that situation.
Here ya go
Edit: well you'll have to copy paste because I'm on mobile and can't figure out why that doesn't work
We're talking about reality, not your headcanon.

They gotta go back to the shotgun run
Greatest Raider QB of all time.
Lol. The Packers defender had two arms on the ball and had it pinned to his body. The Seattle reciever had one arm touching the ball.
You also probably believe the refereeing in last night's game was fair.
Yeah I'm calling bullshit on that. It's been proven that only elite QBs can thrive in the Patriots system.

Riveting evidence.
Here, I'll help you:
Two hands on the ball as he goes to the ground. Tie goes to the receiver. Legit TD.
Own your hypocrisy, Packers-Age.
It was fair. It was equally terrible for both teams.

Come on Packers.

Awesome evidence
Where is the second hand? The hand that's visible isn't even on the ball the whole time

Nice play there by the defense.
I see a Packer defender who gets two arms around the ball and even manages to separate the ball from the Seattle player for a moment. A reciever who has possession doesn't let separation like that happen.Riveting evidence.

Also the ref closest to the play called it an INT
Defender did not tumble forward or get moved, so he didn't get "pushed". We're arguing semantics here, but you two are arguing in favor of touch calls on a hail mary play to win this argument.

Fuck yeah D. That's the Flowers I know
You can see it in the shot from the middle of the field, brah. It's literally right there in the .gif.
You can admit it, it's okay. The game is long over. Tate doesn't even play here anymore.
No, if anyone is arguing semantics, it's you. He extended his arms and affected the movement of a defender towards him. That's pushing off.
I don't care about not calling it. I'm just calling bullshit on all the Packers fans that complained about the Golden Tate catch yet calling that play legit.
