This is the last 8 seconds of the game.
At 1:08, the shot starts where you can see that Jennings has the ball - both hands on it and holding it to his chest as the other players try to pull it away.

I was watching the game about 2am this morning on the beeb, but being a Brit the only thing NFL comes close to (in terms of understanding) is Rugby so wasn't really aware of what was going on chuckle

good way of killing time though.

Yes, it was! I sure hope this example will get those greedy owners (with the exception of the Packers in which are owned by stock holders like me :)), to settle the pro refs to come back. Did you know the official that called it a touchdown and "further reviewed" it was FIRED from the LFL due to his poor calls and proof of incompatance!!

The refs calling these games are also college and HIGH SCHOOL refs!

HLN reported this morning that the "replacement officials" were FIRED from the lingerie league for gross incompetence

But you cant challenge who had possession of the ball just whether it was a catch or not once it was ruled a TD

But Jennings had it with 2 hands touching his chest. The Seahawk only touched the ball with one hand. How would the Seahawk have possession?

don't know anything about football, don't watch it, don't know which team was which

but I saw this on the news several times this morning

and even I could see that the homerun should have gone to the guy in the yellow pants!!!

Yes they screwed up but the thing is once it was ruled a TD then it was whether or not he caught it. Plus the head ref with the white hat didn't even talk to the line judges before or after he went into the challenge boothe. So all he saw was the video replay and then made the ruling that it was a TD without even talking it over with the line judges it was a colossal fail.

All of this bad officiating is mind control. The idea is the rules are too complex for you to make a judgment call, hence, some unknown guys in black and white uniforms, who use strange flags and signals, know better than you. If you don't like it too f*cking bad.

It's called tyranny. Despotism. All of the games are to train your brain to get stuck in the rut of us v them. Now they've gone a step further.

How you like it?

I saw this on the news this AM and I have questions.....

1) Dual possession goes to the offense by rule right?

2) This was reviewed by the booth by rule right?

3) The Sea Chickens suck right?

The regular officials are asking for:

Free first class airfare
Free room and meals in a nice hotel
Medical/ optical/ dental insurance
Free uniforms
$190,000 a season

---They only work about 30 days a year ---

I'm beginning to think they are worth it ..

The problem is, most fans know the rules better than these refs.

Yep, yellow pants guy caught the oblong thing. How does this effect the price of cheese in Singapore?
