What do u guys think was it a TD in the GB-Sea game or not???

[Mr_Jet]

Nay.

Like I just told one of my childhood neighbors on Facebook, Stevie Wonder could see that was an interception.

[The Reverend]

Interception. Unbelievably bad call. And listening to Stuart Scott interview Wilson like nothing happened and he made a great game winning play is absolutely sickening.

[Mr_Jet]

[RetireChrebet]

This isnt even a question. I dont understand why they cant reverse the call now being that it was the last play of the game regardless

[Jetsfan0099]

Easily a INT.... And before that it was offensive PI.

[canuckfan]

Easily an INT. Even the 2 scab refs right there couldn't agree. All the shit calls, skewed games and controversial finishes are piling up. NFL better get their head outta their ass and get the real refs back before any more damage is done. Almost 250 total yards in penalties last nite by my estimation. Some teams don't even rack up that much offense in an entire game. WTF???

Nope, but Goodell is doing a horrible job of running the league. Greedy prick.

[S-Dubb]

Goodell is failing this league. The failing to protect the shield.

Goodell is just a front man for the owners. He is a pawn. He does what they tell him to.

This.

The OPI should have ended the game. Besides that, it was clearly an INT.

The thing about Tagliabue is he still had some of the old school owners in the league like Wellington Mara, Bob Tisch, Georgia Frontiere, Eddie DeBartolo, and Jack Kent Cooke to deal with. IMO I don't think these newer owners really care about football the way the old school owners did. Plus Gene Upshaw was a push over as a union leader for the most part. It seems like Pete Rozelle had done most of the hard work by the time Tagliabue became the commissioner.

The NFL supports the referees' decision. Check it out on NFL.com.

[A1elbow]

The media is really starting to have at the NFL and Goodell for the crapass product they are putting out and I think it is going to come down to fans turning off their televisions and leaving seats empty to get things to change. Jerry Jones and the other money-over-game owners and Goodell will kill the NFL because they are only in it to make a profit and don't have a passion for the sport and I have better things I can do, as much as I love to watch football. If this keeps up, I can guarantee that I'll be doing other things on Sunday.

Honestly, I think that people are taking way too many liberties because these are replacement refs. A similar scenario would unfold probably the same way with regular refs. It was a close enough call, it happened at the end of the game and it couldn't be reviewed. Offensive PI is something so rarely called, that it probably wouldn't draw a whistle anyway.

How is this any worst than what Hochulu did when he gave the game to the Broncos?

And when he was told to retire the owners voted for Goodell for a reason

1-The play wasn't properly discussed. The two refs in place disagreed on the call and rather than following the play with discussion between the refs as a team where the correct call could possibly have been made (rather than making a mistake that couldn't be overturned) it was called a TD.

2-There have been tons of mistakes every week. These aren't the typical "that wasn't pass interference" mistakes, but huge mistakes in spotting, awarding extra downs and timeouts and challenges and now not following correct procedures that results in a play that, without question, changed the result of a game incorrectly. It isn't just one big mistake, but consistent mistakes that have impacted a number of games and now flat out changed the result for two teams that both appear to be good enough to make playoffs. This potentially impacts fans who want to see their teams in the postseason as well as the players and teams, as hosting and making and playing in playoff games leads to bonuses and increased revenue. I'm pretty sure making a mistake that results in millions of dollars in loss is considered a serious mistake in most occupations.

3-What the hell does it matter that it was the end of the game? You're for contentious calls at the end of a game just getting resolved ASAP so you can go the fridge or something?
