Monday Night Football was the scene of NFL armageddon as the Green Bay Packers had victory literally stolen from their grasp by the Seattle Seahawks and the NFL's replacement referees. As seen by the picture above from Tim Burke, Green Bay defender M.D. Jennings intercepted Russell Wilson's game ending Hail Mary attempt as Seattle receiver Golden Tate tried to get a piece of the football. Inexplicably, as Jennings possesses the football and Tate tries to place a hand on it, one referee ruled dual possession and a touchdown for Seattle. Another ref ruled an interception. Somehow, a touchdown was called on the field, reviewed, and confirmed!
The replacement refs have been a nightmare for three weeks, but this is the NFL's doomsday scenario. MNF broadcasters Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden brutalized the league and its officials with a dose of serious reality that should make anyone associated with the NFL shameful at what happened tonight.

The consensus seems to be that just because Packers safety M.D. Jennings caught the ball in mid-air and clutched it against his chest, that means it's a catch. Unfortunately, it's not until Jennings touches both...

Packers robbed by the Seahawks, not the refs
By now I am sure have seen or at least heard about how the game ended last night between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers. It is not even debatable at this point. The ball was heaved up in the air, and M.D. Jennings clearly made the interception. Yes Golden Tate got his hands on the ball, but to rule it as simultaneous possession is garbage. This call was and...

Everyone by now has witnessed the terrible call by the referee in the Packers vs. Seahawks game last night, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents and show you the video one more time.
