Actually this reminds me more of the Cromartie non interception against the Cowboys last season when Cro had the ball tucked in to his chest but before establishing control, aka feet down etc, Miles also grabbed the ball and it was ruled by the "professional" referees as a simultaneous catch. To me this is the precident, the hubub is because this happened with replacement refs. Now to me the two blown calls that would be legitimate arguments would be the defensive PI that led to the TD and the push off by Tate on the final play that should have been offensive PI. But as far as possesion, if you use the Cro/Austin catch from last year as the precident then the officials got that part of the call correct tonight.
You are CLEARLY wrong on that end. Jennings first intercepts the ball, then Tate sneaks up from underneath. Jennings hits the ground (or his ass hits the ground) and by that time, Tate cannot establish possession. Tate rips the ball out ONLY AFTER Jennings falls. (This replay was only available from in-game footage, not the replay clip from NFL.com; it becomes very clear if you watched the replay from behind the end zone.) It SHOULD have been an interception.
Yea ummm...no? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltNXLFmxYJI&feature=youtu.be Looks like ass and 2nd foot same time to me. At :38 seconds is when jennings has the first opportunity to have possesion...you cant see who has it more. The real back breaker is the 2 no call offensive pass interferences on that drive. 1 where they call it on the D and the other is by Tate on that hail mary.
They're a bunch of pussies. I've never seen a team in any sport bitch about a call as much as this. Never.
How about the 2 INTs Sanchez threw against the Packers in 2010 on halloween that were similtanous poesession but given to the Packers... karma is a bitch.
But to be fair, when was there ever a call this controversial/preventable/meaningful against a whole team?
I don't think it's the worst call in NFL history. I think Seattle got screwed in a SB because of a bunch of bad calls. They also got screwed in the Vinny game. It cost them a playoff spot. Tuck rule? The Chargers getting screwed by Ed Hoculi? All horrific calls that cost teams a game.
I know, but what I meant was, all those other calls were just bad calls. Now with the replacement refs, there's someone for people to blame and focus their anger on and really complain about. Sure, people would blame the refs before, but always with the acknowledgement that they had the best refs out there and they were prone to make mistakes sometimes. In this case, the Packers lost a game because of a blatantly wrong call that was preventable by the NFL paying the regular refs. So it's understandable that their anger is just going to be magnified 10x more - there's never been anything like this considering the circumstances.
technically, the tuck rule call was the correct call so its not a relevant analogy. It was a badly written rule that was reworded so it wouldn't happen again.
Bahahaha go root for your other eight teams, Jall. This was justice for that game. BTW, you don't know shit about football and you never have.
Ask the Lions or Jaguars how they feel about that I always thought you should just bat it out of the endzone or field. It wasn't conclusive evidence. It was a poorly written rule that was used in the wrong scenario.
:lol: surprise no one mentioned this! All he had to do was KNOCK IT DOWN. As for everyone else, you guys take sports WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. I mean damn, rioting... really?!
idk, GB guy had one foot down = no possession. Tate had two hands on the ball and two feet down = possession. Then GB guy got his 2nd foot down = possession. Either way, receiver possessed the ball first.
