Replacement refs rob Green Bay of victory after bizarre last-second Hail Mary

The inevitable replacement ref disaster finally happened Monday night when the Seattle Seahawks were awarded a last-second touchdown on a bizarre Hail Mary scrum in which Green Bay Packers safety M.D. Jennings came down with an interception that was somehow deemed to be a Golden Tate game-winning reception. That score gave Seattle an eventual 14-12 victory. "That was two of the worst calls at the end of a football game that I can remember," an incensed Jon Gruden said on ESPN. MORE: Packers share disgust over Hail Mary call Tate had also blatantly pushed off a Seattle defender with two hands before making his disputed catch. At no point did he ever appear to have possession of the ball. Jennings told reporters that he had it the whole time and Tate barely had an arm on it. How did that clear catch go from a Packers interception to a Seahawks touchdown? furniture2012sale.tumblr.com/page/3 furniture2012sale.tumblr.com/tagged/Webcoat

saleblackfriday.tumblr.com/post/32204443247/cappuccino-platform-king-hon-10700-right-single saleblackfriday.tumblr.com/tagged/RUSTIC-NATURAL-CEDAR PHOTOS: The controversial play from all angles Here's how it went down: The players went up for the ball and Jennings grabbed it first. He came down with it and pinned it against his body. Tate had a hand on it too, but Jennings clearly had the pass. The official with the best view of the pile (at left) looked down at Jennings pinning the ball to his chest and appeared to wave his hands over his head. It looked like he was set to signal a stoppage of the clock and a touchback. But the other official ran in, saw his colleague's arms about to move and put his own arms up to signal a touchdown. Based on the many camera views ESPN had of the pile, that official (No. 26) couldn't have seen which player had possession. His signal looked like it was an instinctual reaction to the other official moving his hands.

 

Call it what you want: A disgrace, a robbery, a pox on the integrity of the NFL. It all fits. Green Bay had a win stolen by replacement refs and by a commissioner more intent on a small part of his bottom line rather than the good of the sport. MORE: Harsh Twitter reaction to ending "From my vantage point, the referee in the back, I saw wave his arms over his head, which means he was a calling a touchback," Aaron Rodgers said after the game. "I have no idea how the other guy [called touchdown]." The officials conferred for a moment before officially signaling for a touchdown. From that moment on, the simultaneous catch rule was not reviewable, by rule. The call on the field had to stand. "I've never seen anything like that in all my years of football," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after the game.
