Golden Tate's Game Winning Touchdown

[Future of the Funchise]

Everyone is talking about how he took his right hand off the ball and put it back on to get possession, but has anyone else noticed his left hand, from what i've seen, is firmly on the ball as Jennings brings it in to his body. Where is the line drawn for possession? Do you have to have both hands on the ball or is it ok to claim possession with one hand? Jennings definitely dominated the ball, but with the rules of simultaneous possession where is the line drawn?

That was a Hail Mary throw if there was every one.

Great ending to the game.

This is the type of play that I want my kids to be witness over orchestra music with Steve Sabol's voice with it when the time comes.

RIP Steve.

Not a catch. Tate had no possession till Jennings was down by contact. NFL is a joke. This after the Ravens win a game on a missed field goal. Can't wait to see what's next.

That's not even "simultaneous possession". Tate didn't have anything remotely close to possession until Jennings was laying on the ground. Touching the ball does not qualify for possession...

Refereeing aside, an example of why they coach you to knock it down instead of trying for the interception.

As former NFL ref Jim Tunney called it last night, the first rule of simultaneous possession is both players must have both hands on the ball. That did not occur until Jennings had secured the ball to his body and was down, therefore, no simultaneous possession.

The fact this was such a blatantly blown call is only the icing on the cake for a final 3 minutes that was riddled with blown/bad/missed calls. Before the interception was even made, watch Tate shove Shields to the ground from behind when the ball is in the air- offensive pass interference. Interception in the end zone with no time left- game over.

This comes after an obvious offensive pass interference earlier in the quarter when Tate had both his hands wrapped around Shields, who had inside position and knocked the ball down on a 3rd and 17 play. Refs called defensive PI and gave Seattle a first down. 4th down, punt to Green Bay, game over.

Then the phantom roughing the passer call when Green Bay made the sideline interception after Wilson was flushed from the pocket being chased by a DB. Wilson was running at an angle toward to sideline and line of scrimmage and the DB dove to tackle him around the calves. Only when a QB is standing in the pocket and a defensive player goes low is it considered roughing (the Tom Brady rule). In this case, the QB was a running back and there should have been a no call. Interception Green Bay- game over.

Simultaneously when both players are on the ground it's not a catch in the AIR! Touchdown Seattle the Refs got it right by the rules like it or not!

The NFL conceded Tuesday that a bad call cost the Green Bay Packers the game while upholding the Seattle Seahawks' victory.

NFL disagrees with you.

oh you mean like this?

Tate really should had been penalized for pushing Jennings down. As Jennings got that huge INT. As NFL really stands by refs, not by the truth!

fug green bay...it wasn't pretty...but you know what...Hawks have had plenty of pretty losses, I'll take an ugly win anyday!

I know 100% for sure it was a huge offensive pass interference and it wasn't called. I've seen enough angles and pictures to think there was enough there for simultaneous catch....but mostly...100% mostly...

the refs sucked ass all game long...on both sides...Green Bay scored their single touchdown after a horseshit pass interference call turned what should have been 4th and long to a first down. There were many many examples...start to finish that screwed both teams.

we all knew it was going to happen...and it's better that it happened on a Monday Night game with everyone watching instead of a Sunday morning game between two poo teams like Kansas and St Louis...because nobody would have given two shits. Has to be a huge eye opener to the league to get these idiots off the field and bring back the real officials.
