Golden Tate's Game Winning Touchdown


Recommended Posts

Everyone is talking about how he took his right hand off the ball and put it back on to get possession, but has anyone else noticed his left hand, from what i've seen, is firmly on the ball as Jennings brings it in to his body. Where is the line drawn for possession? Do you have to have both hands on the ball or is it ok to claim possession with one hand? Jennings definitely dominated the ball, but with the rules of simultaneous possession where is the line drawn?

As former NFL ref Jim Tunney called it last night, the first rule of simultaneous possession is both players must have both hands on the ball. That did not occur until Jennings had secured the ball to his body and was down, therefore, no simultaneous possession.

The fact this was such a blatantly blown call is only the icing on the cake for a final 3 minutes that was riddled with blown/bad/missed calls. Before the interception was even made, watch Tate shove Shields to the ground from behind when the ball is in the air- offensive pass interference. Interception in the end zone with no time left- game over.

This comes after an obvious offensive pass interference earlier in the quarter when Tate had both his hands wrapped around Shields, who had inside position and knocked the ball down on a 3rd and 17 play. Refs called defensive PI and gave Seattle a first down. 4th down, punt to Green Bay, game over.

Then the phantom roughing the passer call when Green Bay made the sideline interception after Wilson was flushed from the pocket being chased by a DB. Wilson was running at an angle toward to sideline and line of scrimmage and the DB dove to tackle him around the calves. Only when a QB is standing in the pocket and a defensive player goes low is it considered roughing (the Tom Brady rule). In this case, the QB was a running back and there should have been a no call. Interception Green Bay- game over.

Simultaneously when both players are on the ground it's not a catch in the AIR! Touchdown Seattle the Refs got it right by the rules like it or not!

fug green bay...it wasn't pretty...but you know what...Hawks have had plenty of pretty losses, I'll take an ugly win anyday!

I know 100% for sure it was a huge offensive pass interference and it wasn't called. I've seen enough angles and pictures to think there was enough there for simultaneous catch....but mostly...100% mostly...

the refs sucked ass all game long...on both sides...Green Bay scored their single touchdown after a horseshit pass interference call turned what should have been 4th and long to a first down. There were many many examples...start to finish that screwed both teams.

we all knew it was going to happen...and it's better that it happened on a Monday Night game with everyone watching instead of a Sunday morning game between two poo teams like Kansas and St Louis...because nobody would have given two shits. Has to be a huge eye opener to the league to get these idiots off the field and bring back the real officials.

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
