It was a bad call, that every "expert" is screaming about last night and this morning. FYI, 250 million dollar swing in Vegas because of that blown call. The call that was worse was the pass interference call on that same drive. Simply brutal.
how so? Do you think that Jennings had the ball and both feet down before Tate got his hands on it? Edit: and I agree on the PI
Yes. Jennings had the ball, brought it to his chest, and Tate reached in. The ball was clearly in possession of the Packers. It was a horrible call, and while I couldn't care less about either team, I feel bad for the Packers and their fans
How quickly you forget the "travelling called 5 plays in a row because the college refs don't much like the NBA game" era of replacement refs several years ago.
Hate to win this way! The Seahawk defense was amazing the first half, not so great the 2nd half. The Seahawk offense stunk the entire game. This was payback for getting screwed by the refs in the Super Bowl vs. the Steelers.
Because only die hard Saint/Chief fans were watching two 0-2 teams at a time when there were 7 other games on. This was Monday night where everyone was watching.
I don't doubt for one second these guys are swayed by being fans, even more so than the real refs. I don't know if Vegas/bookies have gotten to them but at this point they are making so many horrible calls, how could you tell if a couple guys were on the take?
It's what people do. Like blaming a FG kicker for missing a FG in the final seconds rather than a holding penalty, dropped pass or bad read by a QB in the first series of a game. Or a FT shooter missing in the final seconds when maybe someone turned the ball over in the first quarter that led to a score
So basically, this is only a thing because the two refs didn't agree and because Green Bay fans are whiny bitches?
Heres O-live's article. Understand it? LOL. Wow, thats going to give me a headache. Source: http://www.oregonlive.com/nfl/index..._seahawks_14-12_vic.html#incart_river_default
Tate reached his hand in and had it on the ball before Jennings could bring it to his chest. If Tates hand never leaves the ball then Jennings cannot fully bring it to his chest and attempt to control it. While Jennings has one foot not two on the ground Tate reaches in and grabs the ball. Now both players have two hands on the ball fighting for it when Jennings other foot would be filed down. Jennings doesn't have complete control because Tate has a hand on the ball behind Jennings hands and has a hand on the front of the ball. Tate doesn't have control because Jennings has both hands on the ball. Like it or not that's a simultaneously caught ball. ESPN can deny it all they want but the rules don't agree with them.
