Is this the craziest ending to any game ever?

[Betallsports]

So the Ref on the Left Bet GB, and the Ref on the Right Bet Seahawks (<)<

Given the 4 calls in a row if the refs were not paid off I'd be stunned

The Lingerie Football League claims that several referees that they fired for incompetence are working as replacement refs.

The Packers played well enough to defeat an inferior Seahawks team.

The referees should not be making atrocious calls to compensate for any difference in team ability.


I have no idea why the call was not overturned by the replay official.

After Aaron Rodgers got off the turf from his 9th sack taken, I wonder if he thinks Seattle is inferior.

when did shoving the defender in the back while the ball is in the air become legal ? apparently, right before the pass was thrown.

Do you think the regular refs would of struggled with this call? I do.

I think they would have handled it way better... but they win by not being there...

I still don't know what to think....

Regular refs would have call pass interference and the catch becomes a non-issue.

I just want someone to explain how do you call it a td after it gets reviewed . There were 2 calls made on the field. What idiot is upstairs and doesn't help make the correct call. Especially with the pass int. how do you not get it right. Everyone in the world see an int except this idiot watching the replay. Unreal

Calvin Johnson made a TD catch either last year or the year before I forget where he actually caught it, rolled on the ground for like 5 seconds, got up and left the ball on the ground and they ruled it not a TD, yet they call that last night a TD????

Child please....

The replay officials are NOT substitutes. They are the regular replay officials. They are the ones who agreed with the call on the field.

That play was against the Bears at Soldiers Field. I beleive it was the first game of the 2010 or 2011 season.

Regular refs would have called offensive pass interference, on a hail mary pass?

You sure about that?

Name one example where offensive pass interference has been called in that situation.

 

[TheFunkMonkey]

I guess everybody forgot the Tampa/Indy MNF game, and the infamous Leaping penalty.

Those were regular refs.

Ed Hoculi Denver/San Diego game. He's a regular ref right?

 

[Akillies]

Or... the tackle on the Seattle defensive lineman that allowed Rodgers to throw a TD. Bad calls on both sides so quit bitching it was all in favor of Seattle.

nobody mentions this, and it effected the outcome just as much as the one at the end, and the numerous fantum PI on Seattle that continually kept gb drives alive

The replay officials are NOT substitutes. They are the regular replay officials. They are the ones who agreed with the call on the field.

They also were told that the call on the field was a touchdown - if they had known that it was also called an interception they may have said something altogether different.
