Seahawks - Packers game - Mon. Sept.24

[Discus-n00b]

Yes, but tucked away does not end it. The play isn't dead with the ball just tucked away.

Well..... there won't be any gloating here at this end ---- after a play and a call like that - which I've never seen before !
But it is a W for Seattle, unfortunately for the Pack. I'll just quietly PM you my mailing address, Keith - better luck next time.

On second thought, Keith - I won't PM you my mailing address. Keep your money - I don't deserve it.
And my post here was not at all influenced by the comments of others just above - I just felt the same way after the final whistle..

Having said that, you have to admit the Seahawks did play well against the mighty Pack, didn't they ? No quits there - and I still think they have one heck of a D !

You better watch another replay Matt. Tate's right hand never gets on the ball until after Jenning's has the ball tucked away.

Send on the address Paul.

Packers got robbed. Where was the O PI?!

[Keith Perkins]

No, he's down on the ground with Tate then trying to take the ball away from him, which he never does. Jenning's possessed Tate's left arm behind the ball against Jenning's body, Tate never possessed anything. I can tell you what NFL should stand for with these officials, Not For Long.

Well, agree to disagree about the play.....but I fully agree with the replacement official hate. Problem is, with the joke of a job these guys are doing the NFL loses ALL leverage every game these guys work. The real officials are sitting at home laughing and seeing how much the NFL NEEDS them, the NFL has no leverage anymore. They need to just buck up and do whatever it takes to get these guys back.

Don't even go there.

I thought I had heard they were only $1,000 a year apart. What is that, 160 refs at $1,000, $160,000? I can see the problem, good grief.

while true cheese heads are 1-2 roflmfao

Again, IMO yes Jennings had possession......in the air. Its still live until he's on the ground/gets two feet in. He had 1 foot down when he had sole possession and was not on the ground other then 1 toe. Thats no INT to me. Sucks to lose that way but....

Only way it's a TD if Tate had position in the air with Jennings trying to get the ball back, then the call would go to the offense of player, but that clearly isn't the case. Even the retire Ref agrees that it should have been call an Int/touchback or pass interference on tate for pushing off Sam Shield to the ground. That along would have ended the game. What should had happen is the Head Ref should have come to the scene and confirmed it with his ref two ref ( one call touchback/int and the other TD) before making the final call. He was no were to be found. See the picture below as you can clearly see who had position and was on the ground.

Seahawk got a game giving to them and the Bear nation are enjoying this while they are on top of the division. This will only make Packers come back stronger... Don't leave it to the ref to decide.

[Keith Perkins]

Paul - maybe we can come up with a good double or nothing bet, like for a playoff rematch or who goes deeper into the playoffs...assuming we have real refs by then.

Sounds good - I'll go for that.
But let's make it even money - no odds. Say, $25. each, or more if you wish - I'd be agreeable to up to $100. each max.
Let's both give it some thought & come up with something 'equitable' - ok ?

[Keith Perkins]

Well since I owe you $20, that's what I was suggesting by double or nothing. No odds is fine with me.

[discuspaul]

Great - now all we have to do is figure out what the bet will be on.
Not likely there will be a playoff rematch, although you never know.
Deeper into the playoffs may be ok, but I have to truly accede that the Pack has the historical advantage - given the Hawks achievements, or lack thereof, in recent years, vs. Green Bay's results.

[Keith Perkins]

But you have the 12th man, and sometimes the 13th as well apparently.
