The Shield Sides with the Refs (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
NFL supports decision to not overturn Seahawks’ touchdown – NFL.com.
Well the NFL is siding with the replacement refs on this one.
According to this statement the NFL is sticking with the simulations catch which in a tie breaker goes to the offense.
But when I watch the video of the play all I see is M.D. Jennings catching the ball. Golden Tate‘s hands were under the ball but only touched the ball after Jennings had full possession of the ball until the end of the play.
Here is the lesson- one Jennings should have batted the ball away- that is defense 101. The replacement refs really messed this up by missing the block in the back from Tate and then reviewing the play and not overturning the ruling on the field.
Roger Godell what are you doing to my favorite sport? In your time as commish you have dealt with a player lock out, the Bounty-Gate scandal, and now this Ref lockout. None of these issue have made the league stronger.
I would love to know you feelings Gals and Pals.

Guess there is going to be a controversy like this every week now :).
Well with the replacement refs gone hopefully not… but I am sure regular refs will mess up too… plus the officials in Division 1 college are questionable sometimes- like the end of the La Tech vs UVa game last night. Thanks for the great comment and keep giving your opinion- I love that
