Anyone see the last play of the MNF game? Wow! You think the refs made some bad calls in our game, at least it didn't cost us the game!

It was called exactly the way the rulebook says, both players had both hands on the ball, when they hit the ground, by rule the catch goes to the offense.

Look, I'm happy the Packers lost because it helps the Vikings, but just prior to Tate getting his hands on the ball he blatantly pushed off to be in position to do that. If you're going to quote rule and verse, that's offensive pass interference and Tate should not be rewarded for it.

watch sport center in the next few days they will replay this one about a million times

I completely disagree. It was an apperent Int. Jenkinkins had full possesion with the ball tucked into his chest. Tate had just one hand on the ball. Being a Vikings fan I'm laughing my #### off, but honestly it should have been a Packers win.

I'm guessing you might catch a replay in the coming days. There might be a discussion about the play. Just a guess, though.

and the pack was getting away with the same thing. Twice they were offsides and no call on that drive.

I doubt that anyone on this board dislikes the Packers more than I do but.....Not since Drew Pearson have I seen such a bad no call. Golden Tate clearly pushed the defender down and then went up and got a small portion of the ball which was clearly intercepted by a Packer defender. There was no simultaneous catch by any stretch of any imagination.
These officials suck beyond imagination.

No such thing as full possession on a simultaneous reception. both players had possession, and by rule it a offensive catch.

I thought so too at first, but when they read the rule simultaneous doesn't count if one player has possession first. Which Jennings did.

Item 5: Simultaneous Catch.If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball.

correct

Gorgeous finish. Yeah, they totally missed the call, but that's the best part! That makes it even better because it means Packers fans are in more pain!!! Amazing!!

I hate the Packers more than any other sports franchise besides the Boston Celtics and the University of Kentucky. I want the Packers, both their players and their fans, absolutely heartbroken!! I want them to feel real pain. And that's what's happening tonight. A perfect ending.

And it helps us in the standings! Who knows, maybe we'll stick around and this will end up mattering!

Agree. Terrible ending to a NFL game.
