This biggest thing is the indecision between the 2 refs. The regular refs would have gotten together, figured out what each saw, then made the call. Here, the side judge just looked at the back judge, saw his hands go up and assumed he was going to signal TD, which is what he thought he saw.

I recognize that it's even less likely than a ratings drop, but a players' strike would also force the NFL's hand.

I doubt the players would strike. The players who only care about their paychecks outweigh the ones who care about winning I bet.

I honestly have no issue with the call unless the Seahawks players claim they "won". Admit the refs won you the game and move on.

The longer the NFL waits to pay the refs, the more their worth is going to go up...

You can't seriously tell me that if you're a locked out official that you aren't feeling pretty valuable right now.

He can't snap his fingers and make the owners agree to anything. He gets the brunt, but he's not the one who has blocked anything. I bet after tonight he tries a power play though.

Im 22 years old, some of the refs have been refrees well before I was born. Who am I to judge these men.?

Could I do better?

Im not a fan of either team, but that play was clearly an interception.

But Green Bay shouldnt of let the game be that close. They have the better QB, better Receivers etc. and they let the seahawks run all over them.

Its funny because they made a jab at the replacements refs on Raw tonight. Even had a blindfold with the NFL and WWE logos on it lol.

A player's strike? It will be a cold day in hell before the players strike and lose game checks over someone else's problems.
