please refer to the 99.9% of the rest of the world that agrees with me.

 

Is that a valid argument in the movie thread?

 

no

The caption reads: "You know it was a good shot because it wasn't a red one."

What happened on that play anyways? Doesn't look like he got his feet tripped up by anyone. For a season, I thought he got shot in the leg by a sniper or something.

 

Pretty sure someone needs to be fined on this play. Get on it, Goodell!

That's pretty crazy.

@JeffDarlington The NFL Officiating department reviewed the video today & supports decision not to overturn on-field ruling following replay review.

 

@JeffDarlington The @nfl concludes, "The result of the game is final."

 

 

Apparently it does admit that PI should've been called though, but that review wouldn't have corrected that.

To me, Golden Tate gets two hands on the ball around the same time as Jennings. Also, in the replay that is shown over and over, he seems to release his right arm for a second and put it back on the ball. However, it seems as if he has is left arm wedged in around the ball the whole time. There is no replay angle that shows his left arm isn't wrapped around the ball between Jennings arms and the ball.

 

I just watched the play in slow motion. Jennings catches the ball first and Tate has his right hand on Jennings's right forearm. As they're going down, he removes his hand from Jennings's forearm and tries to grab the ball. Jennings had control of the ball first and the whole time. Tate didn't.

 

It seems pretty clear that the second sentence in that rule explains it.

 

You can't have possession on a catch until you come to the ground. I'm actually pretty sure the replacement refs got this right.

 

Well, outside of thePI.

 

I think the key is Tate's left hand/arm. You can't see it clearly in the replay, but I think that you can argue that Tate has his left hand/arm on the ball the whole time based on the super slow mo repla.

 

Either way, I really don't see how this is such a clear 100% call in real time. I simply don't. I can easily see a real official blowling this.

I'm not understanding the argument of "hand on the ball" equals "possession".

Okay i am tired of the Tate PI bluster. It is making him look like a cheap shot player and with many pundits it is making Tate be the bad guy. Clearly he pushed shields but what noone else is mentioning is the other 2 packers that are manhandling the other Seahawks reciever just as blantantly pass interference. And seriously, how can there not be pass interference on a hail mary with everyone doing what they can for the ball. If they blew the Tate offensive PI then they blew the packers PI on Martin.

 

If they had called both would offsetting penalities end the game or would there be a final play?

Isn't he trying to do away with unions in Wisconsin? Or at least limit their power? Good time to turn around and support one because of a football game.

Man, you really do excuse everything Seahawks. I mean, I've spent the morning arguing this was at least an somewhat defensible call, but the Tate PI was blatant and obvious.

Yeah, I posted about this in the politics thread, trying to avoid bringing this in here.

All you can say in defense of the PI is that it's so rarely called on WRs. Of course Tate's was obvious and I'm sure there have been other obvious offensive PI calls not made. I haven't seen anyone of any merit calling Tate a dirty player and who cares about any blowhards that do.

Well Tate also had the hard block he was fined for last week, so I'm sure that's where the argument is coming from, the combination of the two incidents. But yeah, that doesn't really build a case for him being a dirty player.

Ha! Sportscenter had literally two minutes of non-MNF coverage when I watched it. I can't think of a championship game that got that kind of coverage.

[Banedon]

It really takes the focus off of the Packers not having played very well.

Come on guys it is so unfair that people are criticizing Golden Tate now. That is the real travesty here.

[Banedon]

@Dan_Bernstein Imagine Hawk Harrelson on the call for #Packers radio.

[bcl412]

Another thing that annoys me about the review is that the refs confirmed the play as being a touchdown as opposed to not seeing indisputable evidence to overturn the call. Semantics? yes. Meaningless? Probably, but it still annoys me.

No, they said "After review, the call on the field stands".

 

The NFL statement said that it stood as there was not enough evidence to overturn.

I didn't see any PI on that play. Not on Seattle at least.

Tate clearly pushed Shields to the ground.
