The Packers want to win that game? Score more points. One bad call ruined it for 'em? No. No more than the first INT cutler threw against the pack did either. No more than the Calvin Johnson TD that wasn't a TD.
Bad rule makes it a bad call just like the tuck rule that gave the patriots another chance to win the AFC championship against the Raiders.Quote:

You forgot the most important word in replay "indisputable" if the replay officials couldn't tell a 100% that it was the wrong call they can't over turn the call. They couldn't rule on the PI because all they can rule on is if the call on field was a TD or not.
What people are forgetting is yes Jennings had his hands on the ball first but the Seahawks player got his hands on the ball before either of their feet touched the ground. To have control and make it an INT Jennings feet needed to touch the ground before the Seahawks play established control of the ball. Once both of them had any kind of control over the ball and neither one of the feet touched the ground, the only call that can be made is in favor of the receiver in this case a TD. As a matter of fact it looks like the Seahawks player feet touched the ground first after he had control on the ball. I am not sure it would have been call any different if the regular refs were on the field.

The Packers played like crap, no doubt. That's the only thing that makes the calls (yes plural) tolerable to stomach. The roughing the passer was a joke. The defensive pass interference was a joke. The lack of offensive pass interference on that play was a joke. The blatant offensive pass interference on the last play was a joke (and yes they give them leeway on hail mary plays but not that much) The interception turned touchdown was a joke. And I sat wondering for 10 minutes why they weren't kicking the mandatory PAT despite it being the end of regulation. That is not a new rule but it is to the new officials apparently. The interception and the plays leading up to it are hardly comparable to the Calvin Johnson TD.Quote:
