Packers Robbed.... Enough is enough

[Spoolios]

I keep rewinding and replaying it. Unfortunately for the Packers, Jennings is still in the air when the ball can no longer be seen. At that point, they have to go with the ruling on the field. It doesn't matter if it's obvious that it should have been an interception, it has to be visually obvious to overturn it, to the point of no contention.

Irony: one of the sticking points by the NFL is they want to be able to 'bench' Officials based on performance...

Do you know the rule for simultaneous possession?

ESPN Commentator to Golden Tate:

"Did you push off?"

Golden Tate:

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Sorry dude, that's lame.

are the regular refs having a party right now?

They are partying hard than Mercury Morris was when the Giants beat the Pats during their attempt at perfection.

Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 5 of the NFL rulebook discusses a simultaneous catch.

"If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control"

"If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control"

That pretty much covers that play right there.  And to say the WR had "joint control" is being generous.

As I understand it from listening to them, if both guys catch it at the same time and come down with it, it goes to the offense. I don't think that's the case in this scenario, though.

COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A BETTER TEAM.

**CENSORED** Green Bay.

How many games do they win at Lambblow 'cause the refs help them?
Detroit at GB last December (Week 16 or 17) was a Horrible 1st Half of officiating.

Excellent post.

That was an interception. And I HATE the Packers. Also, golden Tate is a tool bag for his comments after the game.

Lol @ "it has to be visually obvious to overturn it, to the point of no contention."

...as if it wasn't to everyone who doesn't hate the Pack or have to use a seeing-eye-dog.

I mean seriously...I had no clue the NFL was now translating game broadcasts to Braille.

I don't think anyone is actually arguing it was simultaneous possession, but the point is once it's called that on the field, it falls under that rule and becomes non-reviewable.

There certainly wasn't any joint possession but the **CENSORED**ty call was what it was.

Agree with Hate. Jennings clearly had possession of the ball 1st and Tate came in later and got his arms around the ball. 

I actually agree with what Dilfer said on espn "This decision is insulting to the fans and every ones intelligence."

How is this any different than the td that santonio Holmes caught in the end zone in the super bowl that resulted in the refs stealing a Super Bowl from Arizona. He had only one foot touch the ground. Anyone else see two?  That wAs with real officials and was the biggest scam ever.

Wtf are you talking about? Holmes had 2 feet down.
