First, in the end zone there was offense interference.

Green Bay wins.

Second, Jennings did intercept.

Green Bay wins.

Now, regarless of the above, if Jennings had of done his job and bat the ball away...Green Bay wins.

The same thing happend to my Titans when Ayers tried to basketball the hail mary instead of letting the secondary take care of it. He said he wanted to stop a touchdown but actually caused it. They gut lucky in OT.

Yes, the refs suck, but A LOT of this would be moot if the players were doing their jobs instead of trying to make Sports Centers highlight reel.

Persistence paid off for Seattle. The touch down call came when there was simultaneous possession. Rule 8 - Section 3 - Article 1 - Item 5: Simultaneous Catch. If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball.

It may have looked like M.D. Jennings had possession first, but possession did not occur until Jennings had both feet on the ground. If you review the replay, Jennings had one leg way up in the air as he was coming down with Tate. By the time both feet were on the ground Golden Tate had already taken possession. Thus, it was ruled simultaneous possession and the ball goes to the offensive receiver. Touch down.

Go Seahawks!!!!!

To me it looked like two refs making two different calls.

One was clearly a touchdown call.

The other looked like the “pass completion” call.

I don't know what the hand signal is for “intercepted pass in the endzone” or “touchback,” but one of those refs was definitely NOT calling a touchdown.

With two conflicting calls in the endzone, it seems like a video Review would have been mandatory.

Comments from anyone?

I'm certainly not an expert on this.

How does the post game grading of replacement officials compare with that of prior seasons?

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