Bad call. But I love it anytime when it is stuck to Packer fans.

Come on, now. There is such a thing as a call deciding a game. This one put one side ahead with zero seconds remaining. If it goes the other way, the other side wins. That is decisive.

You can argue whether this or that earlier would have led to this or that alternate ending. But that does not change the fact that the last play was decisive, and that the call decided the winner.

It’s really not subjective when you push a player in the back with both hands and knock him on the ground.

As for simultaneous possession, okay, but that doesn’t apply when one side catches it first, as happened here, nor when the other side never has true possession, as also happened here.

First possession must be established though and how can it be established in the air before one hits the ground?

By the time Jennings hit the ground Tate had his hand and arm on the ball too, and he was under Jennings. So I believe it was dual possession which goes to the offense and the call was correct.

Should have maybe been a pass interference call on both the Packer who pushed number 14 and Tate for pushing a defender on the play too.

That call for hitting the QBs legs on the last drive was ridiculous. If they can't hit the QB high or low, what can the defender do?

Packers up 12-7 should have given up an intentional safety. This would have run time off the clock and allowed them to kick off, probably putting the ball further back in field position then they did punting the ball. Bad coaching mistake there.

#14 on Seattle got pushed by a Packer too for defensive pass interference on the play. Tate may have been pushed as well as he was clearly touched.

Catches can be made with one hand though.

"gave game away"

As a GB fan, I'd have to agree. A horrible call? Yes. But any time you put the other team in position to win on one play, you shouldn't be surprised if you lose. I've seen too many games in my life (62) to get upset over one particular call. And I've seen too many Packer and other Wisconsin sports fans use bad officiating as a reason for defeat. The Packers should have never been in the position to be beaten on a last-second play.

Jennings had possesion with two hands and with its close to his body, Tate only had a hand on it and his other was on Jennings arm. So there was no “tie”

What you failed to see was that Tate took the ball from Jennings after they were on the ground. The one ref was calling a INT/TB when the other bozo re came in from a few yards away to call it a TD.

Unlike college you cannot return a blocked PAT for any points.

That was my thought too, Have the punter run around the endzone to burn time off the clock also. Seattle would have gotten it on their own 40 vs. the Packers 40

TD’s are automatically reviewed in the booth by the “real” NFL crew.

The booth reviewers are union, not back ups. They did not overturn. So people blame the back ups. Go figure.

There is no doubt this game should also be taken away from the Seahawks.

Terrible call, the NFL needs to get the real Refs back on the field pronto!

ESPN has an article up talking to some folks in the gambling industry who estimate that the blown call shifted anywhere from $150 million to $250 million in bets.

With that kind of shift in bets, I'm going to say that the NFL is going to resolve the ref situation pretty quick. I bet some of those folks that lost a lot of money are making themselves heard privately.

Any Seattle fan that thinks they won that game has zero integrity as a man.

Well, that statement is definitely off the mark.

If that were true, and I were an OC, I would have 1 primary receiver and 3 or 4 “clearers”. send the cleerers into the endzone to tackle, trip, sweep, push all the defenders to the ground, leaving my receiver to catch the ball unmolested.

The push was obvious, the defender was in position to make a play, and it happened right in front of the official. A blatant violation that was rewarded, and thereby erodes the credibility of the product.
