That's excellent, so not only did they botch the call, the botched call that they made turned it into something that couldn't be challenged or overturned.
Just stellar, you can't make this stuff up.

I actually think this could push the two sides further apart. The league is under tremendous pressure to come to an agreement with the refs this morning but at the same time, the refs are now negotiating from a tremendous position of strength. They have no reason to give in and instead can just sit back and let public opinion continue to build against the league.

Let's not forget the calls that kept the Seahawks' final drive going, first the bogus roughing the passer that called back a Packer interception, and later the defensive pass interference that should have been ruled offensive pass interference. On the flip side, there were questionable calls favoring the Packers on their TD drive, too. The officiating in this game reached an all-time NFL low.

There were horrible calls throughout that game. Feel free to call the commisioner if you are done with these refs (212) 450-2027 Roger's office number

why have instant replay at all? wtf kind of ruling is that?! i thought the whole point of being able to review was so we could keep from having things like this occur.

unbelievable. nfl has zero credibility.

karma paying Tate back for getting fined for throwing an awesome, legal, manly, NFL type block??

think i saw something about the refs and officials maybe coming to an agreement today.

I thought the refs were great in the eagles / cards game this weekend... but that may be the only well reffed game all year.

One thing annoys me more than the refs... The amount of whining that occurs during NFL games, usually about pass interference no calls.. done by both the players and fans. shut the f up and play football.
