Either you're a Seahawk fan or you have the Obama mentality whereby you believe your explanation supercedes reality..

I watched a Titan's defensive back on Sunday "bat the ball down to the ground" on what was the supposed final play of the Titans-Lions game. That resulted in the batted down pass being caught by the Lions and a TOUCHDOWN which sent the game into overtime.

Your explanation holds as much plausibility as Obama's Foreign Policy.

Well, you must be a Packers fan.

99% of the time, a ball batted down will be incomplete ... yes, occasionally it will end up being caught, but the odds are strong that it will fall incomplete.

100% of the time a simultaneous catch goes to the offense. It has to be clear and incontrovertable that the ball was intercepted ... which historically has meant that no part of the offensive players hands are touching the ball.

You must be a democrat sore loser, because you seem to want to change the rules because you lost the game. Just like in politics, bad cases make bad case law. Changing the rules so the Packers would have an interception is what would have been a real travesty. The ruling on the field was correct by the standards of football since the forward pass was invented.
