It still goes back to "Don't get yourself in a position where the refs can lose the game for you."

The NFL says Seahawks receiver Golden Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference before the catch, which would have clinched a Packers victory, but that cannot be reviewed by instant replay.

Teams shouldn't have to perform extra well in order to defeat the other team plus the officiating staff.

A statement Seahawks fans have been saying for years

He absolutely should have. And Browner and Jennings should probably have been ejected. And Chancellor probably shouldn't have been flagged for PI. And Shields also probably shouldn't have been flagged for PI... and so on, and so on.

Does it make it easier for Seahawks fans to feel better about themselves after the refs handing over a bogus win?

You do not need to have two hands on the ball to constitute 'possession'... See the plethora of highlights on youtube titled 'Greatest one hand catch'.

No, but you have to possess the ball to have possession. Have you not seen all of the TDs called back in recent years for not maintaining possession of the ball all the way to the ground? I can think of more than a few where they had a bigger piece of the ball than this.

If you're calling this a catch, Tate catching the ball with the tips of two fingers should absolutely go the on the "greatest one-handed catch" reel.

I think I need to take a break on this one. I'm reading my posts before I hit submit, and everything is starting to sound like something out of Hellfire.

Anyway, you guys are stupid and wrong.

I feel your pain - the Packers have been on both the giving and recieving sides of that fence for a long time (like, almost a hundred years)

November 23: Beloit Fairies 6, Green Bay (10-1) 0
RIOT THREATENED AT BELOIT-PACKERS GAME; BELOIT WINS

An off-side played called by the head linesman on a Green Bay play just as the Packers shoved across a touchdown and tied the score, gave one of the most hotly contested football games ever seen in this vicinity to Beloit at Fairbanks-Morse field yesterday afternoon by a score of 6 to 0. Cries of derision were heard all over the sidelines from the spectators when the penalty was called. For a time, with the 2,000 spectators surging over the field toward the two teams and the referee, it appeared that a riot would be In progress, but the players of both, teams forced the crowd back. The Green Bay players had carried the ball by a series of line plunges through the Beloit line, gradually worked it down the field until they reached their own five-yard line. Beloit then stiffened, threw up a stone wall, and fought back, but though they were heavier than the Bay boys, Beloit couldn't hold. Foot by foot, Green Bay pushed onward until they over the line. The joy of the Packers and their rooters were soon dampened, however, when the linesman ran onto the field to inform the referee that a Green Bay player had been offside. When the ball was taken back, Green Bay tried some running, but it was forced into a criss cross sprint and then the referee penalized the visitors again, this time for an out-of-bounds' play. A beefing match then followed with the referee and the captain of the Green Bay team, chewing the fat over the rule book, and the discovery that the referee was using a 1918 set of rules. Beloit made its points In the end of the second quarter, when after the ball had successively been carried from one sector to the other, neither team seeming to have any advantage over the other. Beloit had won its fourth down and kicked, sending the ball to the 20-yard line. Then began a series of pushes, by which the spheroid was slowly advanced. The Packers endeavored to hold; they made the Line City men fight for every gain; but with 50 seconds to go, Scheibel of Beloit just squeezed over when the gun sounded, ending the quarter. Beloit missed the kick; the ball not rising more than two feet from the ground. The balance of the game was like the first period, constant harrying from one territory to the other, neither team seeming to have much advantage over the other. The advantage, however, seemed to be with the Green Bay boys, who managed to get more chances at their goal, and especially in the final period kept the ball almost entirely within their own land. It was rumored after the game that the Green Bay Packers offered to play Beloit again on a neutral field for a side-bet of $5,000, and would get Walter

Ekersall, the famous football authority, to referee the game. About $5.000 was up in bets on the results of yesterday's game, and many Green Bay backers lost.

What you can't see is that he was giving him a prostate exam with his other hand.

Actions that do not constitute pass interference include but are not limited to:
f. Conducting an impromptu prostate exam on the field between the hash marks as a diagnostic for veteran player health.

Yeah, I get that. I see that all over the place. The Seahawks got screwed on a play in the past. I feel your pain - the Packers have been on both the giving and recieving sides of that fence for a long time (like, almost a hundred years).
