Dear NFL

Actually, I believe a mass boycott (no-one attends the games, no-one watches them) will fix the issue in less than a week. Sadly, people love to have stuff to complain about so I don't think this would ever happen but it'd surely drive the message home to the owners right quick.0

OMG - Seahawks just got THE LUCKIEST CALL EVER!!!! TOTAL Karma call from the infamous superbowl calls...WOW :bigsmile: Oh well, I take it! Tate you are a ROCKSTAR!!!!!!!!!!
^^ this exactly.
I hate people like you two. real Seahawks fans are just as ashamed about this call as everyone else.
This isn't about who it was on or who it was for, it's about the fact that the replacements suck. I mean, there are refs in the nfl that got fired from the LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE
I hate people who say they hate people they've never met, just to try to make a point.....
and I did say lucky call, did I not? Did that not sum it up for you...let me explain......
A real seahawks fan, takes the win...they gave it soooooo.....what you wanna do, tell them no thanks? of course it was a ridiculous call....but that's not my job. My job as a fan is to be happy about wins and sad about losing -that is all...so thanks for your input, but not really...:flowerforyou:
It was more about the fact that some people are gloating about a bs win, while other, more sportsmanlike fans, realize they didn't really win that game. The same way your coach was jumping up and down, and Tate refuses to admit he pushed the defender in the back. It's kind of ridiculous.
You take the win and you go quietly to the locker room while acknowledging that it was a BS call. You do not go on and on in post game interviews about how amazing your team is and behaving as though you are the greatest receiver in the NFL because you won the game though an amazing and skill driven reception.
I'm a RABID Cowboys fan....any win or score by the is a BLESSING because I can accept that MY team is not the end all be all in the NFL (in fact, they suck)
I will always "take a win" but had it been Dallas and GB last night and that same call was made in the Cowboy's favor.....I'd have called bullsh*t.
Exactly my point!
They shouldn't be gloating about something like that. It's not a win to feel good about. I'm in no way a green bay fan. I just know bs when I see it. And yea, the entire fourth quarter was littered with stupid calls. But this is the only one that you can say without a single doubt, completely changed the outcome of the game. The others could have, but none directly did.
also, I'm a Texans fan. I never thought I'd agree with a cowboys fan.0 -

If it helps, I at least HATE Tony Romo and Jerry Jones0 -
The Niners did play bad on Sunday, but the refs weren't helping. So many penalties on the niners, and that last vikings touchdown was clearly pass interference.
Uh, no it wasn't... The defender never turned his head for the ball. Defender can't make contact with an offensive player A) over 5 yards down field and
if the ball is in the air they must play the ball. No Call or Defensive PI. Good effort though.
I suppose we should forget the 5 timeouts the 9er's got too.0 -
i dont even watch football......but i saw the clip on the local news and even I know that the Packers should have gotten the touch down for that.......its CLEAR as day!!!!!!!! (i live in Minnesota too LOL) the replacement refs suck and are obviously blind.0

YES!!! OMG YES! The bad call Karma gods finally gave us some redemption. Thank yoU!!OMG - Seahawks just got THE LUCKIEST CALL EVER!!!! TOTAL Karma call from the infamous superbowl calls...WOW :bigsmile: Oh well, I take it! Tate you are a ROCKSTAR!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Not to throw any additional gas on the dumpster fire, but aren't DB's taught to knock down hail mary's?0

All scores and turnovers are automatically reviewed in the booth now.Don't misunderstand, I really didn't care who won this game, but that was awful.
And how did they go to replay on that? It isn't reviewable, is it?
And even after the "Boot Review" they called it wrong. Guess they had their glasses on upside down....totally robbed the Packers!0 -
Eh, I don't know, I'm kind of digging all the extra drama. If they could just add some mood music and novella-style swooping close-ups...
(ETA) I'm thinking specifically of the look on Belichick's face when he realized he grabbed a ref...DUN DUN DUN!
lol0 -
lmao.. classic!!0 -
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. EXACTLY!!0 -
If this doesn't get fixed real soon the NFL is going to be better than UFC!0
-
That was terrible. The NFL is losing all credibility with bullsh*t like that...
They lost all credibility when they let the comish start changing the fundamentals of the game.0 -
Yup agree completely.0

Hope this was not posted!

I see both sides of the call. If you count the receiver having the ball until he touches the ground, its a touchdown, at which point it is pried away by the defense, making it an interception. I think this style of multi called results is exciting to watch and brings a new reason to tune in.
Let me practice this pic posting thing while I am here...

smh.That's like telling a heroine addict, "Just stop doing heroine." It is far more difficult than it sounds.

It certainly makes me feel less dirty with myself for thinking your pic is kinda hot. so yes, yes it does help. haha0 -
I'm a huge football fan but even I can stop watching. Thing is, why should I? So the referees make bad, horrendous calls, big deal. Coaches and players make bad, horrendous calls as well.
Also, for those that believe the game came down to that 1 play don't really understand football. Both teams had plenty of offensive opportunities. For example, Green Bay was sacked 6-7 times in the first half alone...so they had their chances.
The officials blew the call...yes! But that didn't cost Green Bay a win. What cost GB a win was not taking care of business in the first half. Sucks for them!
With that being said - I'm going to watch this game and shake my head at some of the calls these guys are making. However, I'm not about to blame them on behalf of a losing team. BTW - how come nobody is throwing their hands into the air over the ridiculous call against Wes Welker in the Ravens game the other night? He was called for pass interference and it was clearly defensive pass interference. Cost them 20+ yards in gains and ended up with -15 in losses. Ridiculous!
Mess with the bull, you get the horns! GO TEXANS!0 -

Exactly. The game is a sum of it's parts. Now had the pack been screwed the entire game, fans would have a case. But that's not what happened.0 -
I'm so glad there is no football love in my house. We don't even like football and I thought what happened last night was ridiculous! I can't imagine how pissed I'd be if we were diehard fans.0

It seems the Refs will be getting a visit from the Count when it comes to time-outs and challenges!

Ugh! Seems I need to learn how to post photos!0

Its getting crazy. You can see it every game the players and the coaches are getting more and more tense. I'm totally waiting til both teams in a game just nod to each other and jump on the refs. Its really slowing down the game play and just screwing the dynamic of the game. However from what I saw on the news the players and the coaches are putting alot of pressure on the NFL to hurry up and settle the dispute0

The Refs will be getting a visit from the Count to discuss time-outs and challenges! :bigsmile: 0

The NFL needs to settle, obviously they were ill prepared for a hold out by the real refs. Give them what they want and be prepared next time!!0

Then you should have been in my house doll. It was ugly. DIE HARD GB FANS0 -
One good thing to come from this replacement ref ordeal is that a bunch of MFPers were able to argue about something entirely different, if only for a little while.
Okay, now back to arguing about what is and is not water, how everyone should eat no more than 1200 calories daily, and whether or not you should eat your exercise calories back.0 -

Don't forget carbs. Gotta argue about carbs. :happy:0
