I am not trolling, I am not trying to make anybody more angry. This is what I see. I have the extended video that I am posting there. Watch for the reverse angle shot.
Golden Tate Kinda Catches Game Winning Touchdown Packers Vs Seahawks 9/24/2012 - YouTube
13mins of the incident
That does not look as bad as I thought it was. Who knows what the real refs would have called?
Are replacement refs also in the replay booth on scoring plays as well? I thought those were professionals who knew the rules. This is just not on the replacement refs and I don't see why the NFL cannot claim the replacement refs again did a fantastic job.
I've watched it many, many, many, many, many times and it still looks like an INT. Did you see Tate take is and off the ball while Jennings maintained control? That pretty much seals it.
It's not a simultaneous catch.
1.) Jennings clearly had it first and Tate is going through and around Jennings
2.) Tate takes his hand off the ball
But, I do think it's brave of you to come here and discuss this, Mr. Goodell.
I don't see anywhere in the video that shows that Jennings clearly had it first. Tates hands was in between Jennings hands at all times, so his hands was on the ball, both players retained the ball.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
That one just might scar

Tate's right hand did not get onto the ball until after it was already in Jennings' posession.
This is why on D you KNOCK IT DOWN rather than CATCH IT when you are in traffic. A shared posession is a TD, but I don't think this meets the definition.

Jennings clearly catches the ball and is instantly cradling it with both arms, Tate at best has a hand in there that is TOUCHING the ball, and exerting no control over the ball at all. His second hand never has any sustained contact with the ball.
tHE OFFICIALS IN THE BOOTH ARE ALSO REPLACEMENTS, IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
I thought it was the correct call . . . the defender can not be deemed to have legal possession of the ball until he comes down with two feet on the ground (remember people one can not have deemed to have possession of the ball unless you get at least two feet down, control is not relevant) . . .
