Nonsense, fidget. It was a fair call - both guys had their hands on the ball but Packers did have slightly more control of the ball. I probably would have called interception but it was awfully close and I can see how the refs felt it was justifiable. They explained on Sport center why it played out the way it did.
Anyway, it was a great game for the Seahawks. If they hadn't played so well, it wouldn't have been close enough for it to matter who caught the ball on the last play. And they sacked the Rodgers so many times he probably can't see straight today.
Jennings had the ball against his body. Hands don't matter one damn bit. The only reason it was called a touchdown is because the white hats couldn't review that play and the first sign up from one if the refs was touchdown. Since he made that sign first, they had to go with it.
A 27 year officiater and three time superbowl officiater said this morning that it should have been Packers ball. Unfortunately the shitty call stands.
If I was an NFL player, I'd quit playing about now.
No NFL player would quit over something like this. They are paid waaaaaayyyyyy to much for that - they typically don't have a way to make anywhere near the amount the NFL plays.

It doesn't matter, replacement refs or regular refs. Over the years I have seen MANY horrible calls by the regular refs.
There would be NO discussion today, and the Packers would have won the game, if Jennings would have done what he was told/taught to do...knock the ball down.
Well I don't care for the Packers, but the ball was intercepted, but before that happened the Seahawk receiver SHOVED the Packer defender. So no matter how you look at it, the Packers were screwed. But hey, all the games are fu$%ed up this year. I don't know who won the New England vs. Baltimore game...there were just so many calls, so many missed calls, and so many deciding calls, it just got too hard to keep track of them!
Not only do push offs occur often in hail Mary situations, but Tate did not shove shields to the ground, shields did some acting there, look closely I think you'll agree.
Also, GB got away with several offensive holds on their way to a TD. Both teams were helped. Take away both questionable TD's, hawks still win. Everyone is fixating on the final play. Bottom line both teams played well and bad calls happen even with the real officials on the field.
