Worst calls are made all the time by the regular officials.

The fact is that NFL fans bitch and moan all the time about the normal referees. I'll point out the Super Bowl that the Steelers didn't actually win against Seattle. As far as I'm concerned, this is repayment to Seattle of that most grossly refereed football game. But, seriously, we complain all day long every year about all the calls the regular officials make. The only reason people are up in arms are because this is replacement officials. Honestly, I think as a whole they've done a pretty good job. On par with the regular officials. The NFL fanbase is just a whiny bunch of Pre-Menstrual Teenage Girls.
Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.
My mind isn't always in the gutter, it just has VIP access
/NFL: now that replacement refs have cost the packers a win, can we please get the real ones back? *NM*

Thanks; that looks like a textbook case of simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver: TD.

Tate was looking for the ball, and raised his hands to catch it, not push off Sam Shields.

Fair enough then; the NFLs official position is that offensive PI should have been called.

Yeah, if one hand counts as possession

Left hand between Jennings' arms and on the ball; right was outside Jennings' arm and on the ball.

I have still only seen the YouTube clip, but it looked like they both had both hands on the ball.

Possession doesn't mean squat until you land. Tate had it by then

he had nothing until they landed and he tried to pull it away. everyone but you agrees on this *NM*

It was very obviously caught; you can't rule that incomplete.

my philosophy is "interception = incomplete" but i think that's only for stats purposes

Slightly (very) loopy yet entertaining piece on why Ayn Rand is to blame for all of this.

She hates revenue sharing, salary caps & the draft, too, but the Pack would be screwed without each.

Clearer shot, but stills do not allow us to see where Tates hands were at all times.

you can't claim "good ol' strip" *AND* simultaneous catch -- which is it?

I do not claim both: I claim simultaneous catch but IF not, then strip.

There are two separate issues: 1) Was it a simultaneous catch; 2) IF not, was it a strip?
