Are the replay officials replacement too?

Not that it matters in the scheme of things because there were bad calls on Seattle too, but the earlier PI on Shields was atrocious and they gave the kicking ball to Rodgers on the 2pt conversion.

but that doesn't mean it can't be done now. what's worse? the failure to overturn the horrible call during review, or letting seattle 'win' a game it clearly didn't.
in the past, when you've had bad calls, it hasn't necessarily been the last call as time expired. it's time to set precedent-don't let an awful call stand here, there's no reason to let it stand.
and the guy who said the ruling stood, who reviewed it, he should be sacked. he shouldn't be able to call peewee football, let alone a professional game.

As much as the right result would be upheld, there is no precedent for changing the outcome of an NFL game due to referee incompetence the day after the game is final.

I would however love to hear what was said between Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp after the play to overrule the ref signaling touchback because of the INT.

Watching Mike and Mike this morning, and there is a rule where the commissioner, and only the commissioner, can overturn the result. In this case, if they admit the call was wrong, how can they not?

Of course I'm betting they somehow try to explain that the call is not clear cut or something to that effect.

He's really distinguished himself this season. A vicious, but legal, block on that guy on the Cowboys for which he HAD to gloat and taunt, who cares what the condition of the guy is.

But last night was even better. He actually talked sh.it after the call wasn't reversed. Seriously? Who gloats for winning like that?

He's a punk.

which makes the call that much worse. if they are supposed to know better, since they're the 'real' folks, than what's their excuse?

the replacements refs are bad-but the regular refs come up with some doozies too.

The fact that an regular NFL official/employee didn't overturn the call from the booth, magnifies the whole incident by 1000. That's the guy who should be terminated on the spot this morning.

By rule, he can't.

Simultaneous possession can't be challenged or overturned by review.

The replacement guys, in a lot of instances this week, have shown that they don't know all of the rules.

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.

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.
