You're absolutely right. Tate is bringing the ball to his body as he's going to the ground. Both his feet hit the ground before Jenning's. Refs got this one right people. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

Cannot tell from these selective pictures/video what Jennings left leg does. Inconclusive at best...which is why the NFL said there wasn’t enough evidence. They did not confirm the call.

I have no dog in this fight (college football fan) but that call appeared to me to be totally blown by the rule of simultaneous possession that I heard.

The biggest problem is the officials losing control of these games. 24 penalties in both of the Sunday night and Monday night games. This will get worse now.

Look at your own replay.

Tate has a HAND on the ball. Jennings rolls away (down by contact when his butt hits the turf) with both hands on the ball while Tate has one hand on the ball and other on Jennings’ helmet.

Piss poor call.

Tate is bringing the ball to his body as he's going to the ground. Are you and I looking at the same slow mo?

The ball hits the fingertips of his fully extended left hand with no sembloence of control. Jennings gets two hands on the ball and secures it to his chest on the way down, and maintains control when his feet land. The Seahawk, still has that left hand stuck in there since Jennings is controlling the ball against his chest.

After Jennings feet touch, he starts to fall forward at which time the Seahawks right hand comes around, grabs the helmet, scoots over the facemask, and then squirms in to where Jennings is still controlling the ball.

I guess we are both seeing what we want to see...
