Monday Night Football a fiasco; replacement refs must go

   Seattle's victory against Green Bay Monday night had to be the end of the replacement refs. So many calls, so many terrible calls, the worst of which was the game's final play. A Seattle Hail Mary; obvious pass interference against the Seahawks; obvious interception Green Bay.

    Yet the play is ruled a touchdown, and Seattle wins.

     The system doesn't work. Fans invest so much emotion and money in the NFL, and they get an inferior product.

      The result was a victory for the locked out refs, a loss for the Packers and a loss for fans.

Give the refs whatever they want to get rid of these scabs

[Don't rush judgement]

I think they got the call right...simultaneous possession goes to the offense

[YGBSM]

Anybody know who Ref #26 is? Has he been the source of equally bad calls during previous games?

[JRUD]

A tough situation.......I think the call was right, except for the obvious pass interference (which most likely would not have been called by regular refs). If the NFL can't resolve the work stopage, I say fire the regulars, and hire new refs from the major college conferences.

tom,
jennings leaps three feet above the scrum, catches the ball with two hands and lands on tate with one leg on the ground and the other extended beyond the end zone. play is dead and game is over. only then does tate wrap an arm around jennings.
rule states opposing players must obtain the ball at the same time for simultaneous possession. ad nauseum, ad nauseum...
good call, tom.

[FootballFan]

Having one hand on a ball is not "simultaneous possession". If that were the case a player could make the claim on nearly every play.

[FootballFan]

Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 5

"It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control"

[pantherworld]

do some of you know what a simultaneous possession means,,lol. very bad call

[jim dansy]

clearly JRUD is a moron...bet he knows who replacement ref #26 is

[DEW]

The REAL refs just got a lot of leverage in the negotiations...

[jim dansy]

Don't rush to judgement is clearly either ete Caroll, or Ref #26's gay lover...possibly both

[big gulps]

if the play had happened against the jaguars instead of the packers would we even be talking about this?

bias to teams is an issue, i am ok with the outcome of the game.

[CJ]

Look no further than Jerry Richardson for blame. The owners are telling Goodell to take a hard line. Jerry, stop counting your money and tell the Commissioner to settle!

[BB]

I think these refs actually make the game more interesting. In the old days before "reviews" and so forth, the human element added to the spice of the game. As long as there isn't bias toward one team, I kind of like it.

LAST NIGHT 9/24/12 WAS THE WORST NIGHT I HAVE EVE WITNESSED IN FOOTBALL !!

I WISH THE " NFL " COMMISSIONERS WOULD EXAMINE THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME AND OVERTURN THE DECISION AFFECTING THE SCORE AND THE OUTCOME OF THAT STUPID RULING !!!

[Ben]

Players and coaches are partially to blame for this mess because they don't respect the replacements and push the limit way too often.
