Seahawks defeat Packers thanks to controversial last-second call

Replacement ref from Packers-Seahawks game: 'I'd probably call interception'

Oops! The replacement ref who worked the now infamous Packers-Seahawks game said he may have made a mistake.

NFL won't fine T.J. Lang after he said: 'Fine me'

The NFL will not fine Green Bay Packers offensive lineman T.J. Lang or any other member of the team who sent out profane or inflammatory tweets following Monday night's controversial conclusion against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com.

Lang was one of the more vocal members of the team, even going as far to challenge the NFL to fine him so that they would be able to afford the salaries of the regular officials.

According to La Canfora, the league has stated that instead of pursuing disciplinary action against any of the players, they will instead focus on coming to a resolution with the members of the NFL Referees Association, which is currently locked out due to a labor dispute.

Wednesday morning Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that the two sides are nearing a new deal that potentially could have the regular officials back by this weekend.

The replacement ref from Packers-Seahawks game likes to party

One of the replacement referees from the Packers-Seahawks game partied into the night on Tuesday -- and took pictures with a Packers fan.

Locked out ref on Packers-Seahawks: 'I would've reversed it'

Walt Anderson, a locked out NFL referee, weighed in on the final play of the Packers-Seahawks game. In an interview with Kevin Kietzman on WHB in Kansas City, Anderson said,

"I would've reversed it to an interception. I just feel like that the defensive player established control, certainly a greater degree of control than the receiver, both in the air and going to the ground. Just the fact that a receiver ends up having a hand on the ball does not necessarily constitute control. I felt like, watching it live, it was an interception. And watching all the replays, I would've come to the same conclusion had I been making the decision."

Anderson went on to say, "But it's pretty clear-cut, in terms of who has control whenever they finish the process of the catch. In my mind, I feel like it's an interception."

Anderson has been an NFL referee since 2003. Before that, he served as a line judge for seven years. He worked as a dentist before retiring in 2003.

Aaron Rodgers on refs: 'I just feel bad for the fans'

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had plenty to be livid about after losing Monday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks on a controversial call by replacement referees, but he sounded more frustrated than angry in comments made on The Aaron Rodgers Show Tuesday morning.

When asked what he thought of the officiating that gave the Seahawks a 14-12 victory on a Hail Mary pass that appeared to be intercepted by Packers safety M.D. Jennings, Rodgers addressed the broader issue.

"First of all, I've got to do something that the NFL is not going to do, and I have to apologize to the fans. Our sport (has) generated a multi-billion dollar machine, by people who pay good money to come watch us play. And the product on the field is not being complemented by an appropriate set of officials. The games are getting out of control," said Rodgers.

Rodgers later added that he was unimpressed by the NFL's statement about the call, saying that they were "covering their butt." He didn't go as far as to post NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's phone number on his Facebook page, or make any profane comments, but it's clear the eighth-year veteran is incredibly frustrated, and rightfully so.

Terrible officiating is great #STRAT

If the NFL is aiming for some new, anarchical-level of strat on Twitter, replacement refs are the way to go!

Packers vs. Seahawks: The Seattle celebration

While Packers fans were angry after Monday's game, Seahawks fans started the party.

Packers vs. Seahawks: 'Don't you ruin this for us, refs'

Packers fans were outraged when the referee made the final ruling in Monday night's game. See what happened here.

NFL: Replacement refs correct to not overturn call

The NFL released a statement Tuesday in which they addressed the controversial final play in Monday night's game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. But fans expecting the league to come out and say the replacement referees did a terrible job will be disappointed. The NFL concluded that any time two players go to the ground with the ball, the catch always defaults to the offensive player, which in this case was Seattle wide receiver Golden Tate.

The league agrees with referee Wayne Elliott that there was no indisputable visual evidence to overturn the call on the field. In other words, they did not conclude that M.D. Jennings, the Packers' defensive back, had full possession of the ball, as it was shared with Tate, who gets the nod because he plays on offense.

Referee Wayne Elliott determined that no indisputable visual evidence existed to overturn the call on the field, and as a result, the on-field ruling of touchdown stood. The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review.

The result of the game is final.

Rules cited include everything in the NFL rulebook that has to do with completing a catch, which includes having clear control of the ball all the way to the ground. It's an odd rule to cite given how unclear everything actually was on that play. There are simultaneous-catch rules, which are cited at the end of the statement that corroborate the earlier note that offensive players get the nod in those situations.

Outside of the actual catch and the simultaneous rules, the NFL agreed that there should have been an offensive pass interference call when Tate shoved Sam Shields, and that it should have ended the game. Such a play is not reviewable in instant replay, however.

Packers vs. Seahawks, Week 3: Seattle fans praise the defense

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Green Bay Packers, 14-12, on a controversial last-second touchdown on Monday night, and the ending will be hotly debated in the weeks to come. Lost in all that debate will be how well the Seattle defense performed against one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Danny Kelly, of SB Nation's Field Gulls, understands the ending was botched, but the dominating performance by the Seahawks front-four has him excited:

Outside of the final hail-mary debacle, the Seahawks' defense was the real story of the game, for me. Seattle's attacking pass rush sacked Aaron Rodgers eight times in the first half and had him pressed on nearly every play. Chris Clemons played out of his gourde on the outside, grabbing a ridiculous four sacks, four quarterback hits, and four tackles for a loss; Brandon Mebane was unblockable on the inside, racking up two sacks and three quarterback hits, and rookie Bruce Irvin added two sacks and three quarterback hits.

The Seattle defense held the Packers to just 268 yards on a meager 3.9 yards per play. Aaron Rodgers was under siege for most of the night, and could get nothing going down the field, leading to just 5.7 yards per pass attempt. Factor in the sacks and Rodgers' scrambling efforts, and the Packers gained just 201 net yards on 49 dropbacks.

It was an outstanding effort by the defense and that will have Seahawks fans excited about their chances going forward. With the win, the Seahawks move to 2-1 and look to contend in a challenging NFC West.

Packers Vs. Seahawks, Week 3: Green Bay Fans Say It's A 'Complete Farce'

Reacting to the Packers-Seahawks Monday night showdown, Kevin McCauley of Acme Packing Company wrote, "the final play of the game was a complete farce."

The Packers and Seahawks played a 60-minute football game on Monday, and ran a combined 119 plays, but most fans, players, and bloggers are focused on the final seconds of the very last play.

He goes on to say:

"Golden Tate interfered with Sam Shields in the end zone, then M.D. Jennings intercepted Wilson. The referees signaled for a touchdown, and the Seahawks won.

If any good comes out of this play -- which was only the worst call in what was almost certainly the most poorly officiated professional sporting event I've ever watched -- it will be the event that forces Roger Goodell to pick up the phone to the professional referees and ask them to name their price. If the Packers had to lose to save the integrity of the NFL going forward, at least this nonsensical game did some good for sport."

NFL will address Packers-Seahawks controversy

Following a controversial ending to Monday's Packers-Seahawks game, the NFL is expected to address the final play on Tuesday, according to NFL.com.

The league will have to explain whether referees were correct in awarding Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate with a game-winning touchdown. The touchdown was originally justified under the NFL's Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 5, which reads:

"If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both 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 you haven't seen the play, Seattle's Russell Wilson threw a Hail Mary pass as time was expiring, with the Seahawks trailing by five points. Several Packers defenders went up for the ball in addition to Tate.

Two referees who were close to the play signaled different calls: One ruled that Tate had caught a touchdown. The other simultaneously indicated that Green Bay defender M.D. Jennings had caught the ball, thus resulting in a touchback.

After review, the play was ruled a touchdown, and Seattle won the game.

Seahawks vs. Packers: breaking down Golden Tate's Hail Mary 'catch'

The refs blew the call on the final play of the Packers-Seahawks game and here's why that's great news.

Golden Tate discusses controversial touchdown

On the final play of the controversial victory of the Seattle Seahawks over the Green Bay Packers, Seahawks wideout Golden Tate ended up "catching" a football that M.D. Jennings originally appeared to intercept. Jennings went down to the ground and still appeared to have possession of the football, only to have Tate rip he ball away at the end of the play and get simultaneous possession awarded to him--even when Jennings clearly had maintained possession of the ball once he got to the ground.

Before that though, Tate committed what looked like a blatant pass interference when he pushed off a Green Bay defender (you can see him flying) before he goes down to the ground and "gains simultaneous possession of the football." Judge for yourself.

Tate seems pretty convinced he didn't push off though. I mean how more convincing does it get than this interview after the fact? The denial is quite strong with this one.



I'm guessing Tate is a pretty popular man at this moment in the city of Seattle, but being involved in two controversial moments during the game is not going to endear him to the fans in Green Bay.

Talk about the result with Seahawks fans at Field Gulls, and with Packers fans at Acme Packing Company.

NFL Is Deleting Social Media Posts Everywhere

The hits just keep coming from the NFL following the conclusion of Monday night's game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks.

Hot on the heels of an unfortunate and quickly deleted tweet from the official NFL Twitter feed and amid a flurry of incensed tweets from players and observers, the NFL put up a picture on their official Facebook page that appeared to be designed to intentionally draw the ire of Packers fans -- or perhaps just NFL fans in general. The Facebook post and associated picture has since been taken down.

The below screencap comes to us courtesy of @BCSGuru and an SB Nation reader:

The picture -- which was likely the most recent available "Seahawks player catching a football" picture available on the presswire at the time -- did not in any way show the controversial play that ended the game in a Seahawks win. The posting of the picture along with the caption and even the URL of the associated story could be viewed as a whitewashing of the call on the field issued by the replacement referees. At the very least, it would at first blush appear to be a slap in the face of Packers fans.

Just an unfortunate evening for the NFL and their attempted engagement with fans via social media. An unfortunate evening for football all around.

NFL Sends Out Unfortunate Tweet, Then Deletes It Following Monday Night Football

The Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers saw their tense Week 3 game come to an unfortunate end on Monday as a controversial call by the replacement referees awarded the game to the Seahawks.

Immediately after the game, the official NFL Twitter feed sent out a tweet, reading simply, "Touchdown or Interception? #GBvsSEA"

Many fans rightfully found this tweet to be in exceptionally poor taste at best and a willful admission of their screw-up at worst. The tweet did not stay up very long, as it was quickly deleted. The deleting of the tweet did nothing more than call more attention to it, however.

Wow, @nfl deleted this tweet! RT @nfl: Touchdown or Interception? #GBvsSEA

The aftermath of this game will have long-lasting impact and will only add more fuel to the fire started by running the season with replacement referees in the first place. While this may not be the straw that breaks the camel's back when it comes to the stalemate between the NFL and the referees, the refs gain more and more leverage all the time with calls like these.

Players React To Controversial Monday Night Football Call

Monday night's game between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers ended with one of the most -- if not the most -- controversial calls in NFL history.

A hail Mary as time expired was ruled to be a game-ending touchdown for the Seahawks, even though the play appeared to be a Packers interception and touchback.

The outrage started immediately on the broadcast and on Twitter, as analysts and fans alike voiced their displeasure in the call by the replacement referees.

Not long after the game ended, NFL players and other notable sports figures began chiming in on the decision. Here is a roundup of the reactions.

Replacement refs strike again, and it all comes to a head

If there was a perfect way to cap Week 3 of the NFL season, it was this. Standing in the end zone at CenturyLink Field, with a pile of bodies at their feet, two replacement refs signal two different things. There was no time on the clock. The Seahawks could only win with a touchdown. And the ball came down in the hands of two players -- one a Green Bay Packer, the other a Seahawk.

As the crowd roared, the refs gave different signals: one holding both arms up for a touchdown; the other waving his arms as if the pass was intercepted. This, friends, was the nightmare scenario for the NFL. After all the headshot and bad calls this week -- and all season, really -- this was the perfect visual ammo for the NFLPA.

M.D. Jennings went up over everyone and brought the ball in. He had it first, and it was pretty dang obvious. Golden Tate managed to not only latch on, but convince the referees that he had the ball.

That's Jennings' ball, right? Look closer. Sure, everyone in the crowd erupts, but Jennings appears to have had control. He's the one over everyone (43) going up to high-point the ball.

This angle, coincidently, was shot from about where the back judge was looking at the play. He was the one who called it an interception.

But you know what? I'm a Seahawks fan. I lived and died with this game. So hey, keep the replacement refs. They just won us a game.*

*View subject to change when karma strikes next week.

Packers Vs. Seahawks Game Recap: Seattle Wins On Incredible Hail Mary

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Green Bay Packers on an incredible last second hail mary attempt that ended with Golden Tate wrestling the ball away from M.D. Jennings. It appeared Jennings pulled down the interception but the refs ruled a Tate touchdown that resulted in a 14-12 Seahawks win. The play was reviewed on replay and the refs upheld the call to preserve the Seattle win.

With no timeouts and less than a minute to play, the Seahawks got one final chance after forcing a Green Bay 3-and-out inside their own 5-yard line. Taking over at the 45-yard line, Wilson would move the Seahawks inside the 25 before being forced to heave it into the end zone. An animated gif of the play:

The amazing play ended a half in which the Packers controlled the ball nearly the entire 30 minutes. The Packers finally scored their first touchdown with just under nine minutes remaining in the game, taking their first lead.

Cedric Benson punched it in from 1 yard out for his first touchdown in a Packers uniform. It looked like Green Bay would settle for the third Mason Crosby field goal of the half, but Mike McCarthy challenged the spot on a third-down scramble by Aaron Rodgers.

The original spot, which was well short of the first down, was overturned and the Packers were given a new set of downs inside the 5-yard line. Benson took advantage one play later to take the 5-point lead. Green Bay had the ball almost the entire second half, with the Seahawks going 3-and-out on their first two possessions.

But Wilson and the Seattle offense would take advantage of one final chance, ending it with the amazing Tate touchdown.

Seahawks Skittles Sign Breaks New Ground In Fan Synergy

Packers Vs. Seahawks Score Update: Green Bay Ends Shutout, Trails 7-6

The Green Bay Packers are on the board, eating up clock on two third quarter possessions that resulted in two Mason Crosby field goals. The Packers used running back Cedric Benson throughout the third, mixing in the pass and run to cut the Seattle lead to 7-6. The Seahawks offense had the ball for just four plays.

Green Bay was held scoreless for nearly 37 minutes before finally breaking through. They opened the second half with a drive that stalled out in the red zone, bringing on Crosby for the 29-yard field goal. On third and five, it looked like Aaron Rodgers might find Donald Driver for a touchdown but the the reigning MVP had to move around in the pocket and throw on the run. The ball was too high for Driver as he came across the back of the end zone. Seattle rushed just three men on the play, a situation Rodgers typically picks apart but once again the Packers offense had trouble finding room to operate.

The second drive stalled out just outside the red zone, ending with a Crosby 40-yard field goal. The drive was prolonged moments earlier when Seatlle was whistled for illegal hands to the face fifty yards away from a Cedric Benson run that came up short of the first-down marker. The additional first down put Green Bay well within Crosby's range.

While Rodgers was pressured in the third quarter, he was not sacked -- a drastic improvement for the Packers after the catastrophic first half. But the Seahawks defense still buckled down when Green Bay entered their territory, keeping the Packers out of the end zone.

Seahawks Vs. Packers: A Study In Sack Celebrations

In the first half of Monday night's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks, Aaron Rodgers was sacked an astounding eight times, prompting celebrations of the defensive achievement. Each one of the celebrations was unique and beautiful, like a snowflake. A violent, violent snowflake. Let us examine these celebrations ... together.

Here was the first celebration.

Elation. Jumping. Mockery of a touchdown dance that has become a shill for an insurance company. Fluorescent gloves.

(The second sack was a phantom sack, so there was no celebration, but credit was still given to the Seahawks because Rodgers had the misfortune to fall down in a silly manner and get laid upon.)

The third sack:

Jumping again. Surprise affection. A chest-bump that becomes a tender hug, followed by an aftershock chest-bump. Little pats on the helmet. Smiles for everyone. This is sweet and special.

The fourth celebration:

A slight tinge of the Hulk Hogan hand-to-the-ear is abandoned and a muscular pose is struck. By this time, childlike glee has yielded to stoic machismo. It is an interesting transition. The sacker has become an adult. Well, except for the guy falling down and doing a bear crawl of happiness.

The fifth sack:

Sophomoric and derivative. The sign of an artist attempting to find his way, but merely offering a retread of what we've heard before. The critics turn on him.

The sixth sack:

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the auteur returns to form. "How could we ever have doubted you," the critics wail. We are sorry. We love you.

The seventh sack:

Like the majestic eagle, he soars. Oh, the majestic Seahawk. Sorry. Back to being repetitive, but only at the end. Celebrations are hard, but that smile is infectious.

The eighth and final sack (of the first half):

And at the end, we return to the state of infancy. Going out kicking and screaming, just like he came in. That's a line from a Garth Brooks song. It has no place here.

Packers Vs. Seahawks Score Update: Seattle Sacks Aaron Rodgers 8 Times, Leads 7-0

The Seahawks and Packers played the longest scoreless game of the NFL season so far, with Seattle finally breaking through for the game's first touchdown with just over six minutes remaining in the half. The Seahawks' defense was the story of the first half, constantly getting to MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to shut down the Packers.

Seattle's defense has harassed Rodgers, sacking him eight times through the first 30 minutes. That ties a record for the most times Rodgers has been sacked in an entire game. The Green Bay offensive line was overwhelmed by the Seahawks' pass rush on both the interior and around the end. Veteran defensive end Chris Clemons, who had 11 sacks in each of the last two seasons, already has four in the first half on Monday night.

Seattle finally ended the scoreless tie when Russell Wilson connected with Golden Tate for a 41-yard touchdown. The play was preceded by a 15-yard retaliation penalty by Packers linebacker D.J. Smith, setting up the Seahawks in Green Bay territory and enabling them to take a deep shot down the field on first down. The Packers pushed up, putting eight men in the box and keying on the run. Wilson found the speedy Tate in one-on-one coverage on the outside. Tate put a double move on Tramon Williams and Wilson hit him in stride down the right side as he crossed the goal line. A gif of the score:

The Packers will now get the ball to start the second half, hoping to find some answers for their pass protection in the locker room. The only time they were held scoreless in the first half last season was in a loss to the Chiefs, their only defeat of the season.

D.J. Smith Throws Hellacious Uppercut

Packers Vs. Seahawks Score Update: Defenses Dominate In Scoreless 1st Quarter

After 15 minutes in Seattle, the Seahawks and Packers are still scoreless on Monday Night Football. Each team had three first downs but neither was able to put together a sustained drive as the defenses dominated with constant pressure on the quarterbacks. It was Clay Matthews chasing Russell Wilson down on one side and Bruce Irvin getting to Aaron Rodgers on the other.

Continuing an early season trend, the game was a bit chippy in the first quarter and there were plenty of penalties. The teams had to be separated a few times in scrums after the play. Seattle rookie Irvin also mocked the well-known and oft-advertised Green Bay celebration after a sack of Rodgers:

Rodgers was sacked three times in the Packers' first 10 offensive plays, including twice by Irvin. The speedy rush end has been beating Bryan Bulaga on the right side of the Packers line. It was the first time Rodgers had been sacked three times in the game's opening quarter. The infamously loud crowd at CenturyLink Field certainly seems to be having an impact early, with Green Bay's offensive linemen a step slow off the snap count.

Green Bay's offense was the envy of the league last year, but they have yet to score in the first quarter this season.

Green Bay Packers receiver Greg Jennings has been declared active for Monday night's contest against the Seattle Seahawks.

Greg Jennings Injury: Packers WR Expected To Play On Monday Night Football

Wide receiver Greg Jennings will be on the field on Monday night when the Green Bay Packers visit the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jennings has been dealing with a groin injury that forced him to miss Green Bay's victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 2.

Jennings appeared in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, catching five balls for 34 yards. After not missing a single game for three seasons between 2008 and 2010, Jennings missed Green Bay's final two games in 2011 with an unrelated injury before returning for the team's second round playoff loss to the New York Giants.

In 2011, Jennings caught 67 passes for 949 yards and nine touchdowns, but has been usurped by Jordy Nelson as Green Bay's No. 1 receiver.
