Close Game But Not A Close Call
In this post David basically states the fact that the Green Bay Packers were definitely robbed of a win because of the call made by the replacement refs. He then goes on to say that the Seattle Seahawks should be ashamed of themselves for gloating after the ruling on the field stood as a touchdown. The outcome of the game cannot be changed whatsoever and both teams are just going to have to look past the call and move on.
I agree with David In the part where the Seattle Seahawks should not have boasted after the call was made. On the other hand the players did not ask for this call to be made and did not expect it to become this big of a deal. The players just went about there business like it was any other last minute play which happens in almost every single NFL football game. The refs made an extremely bad call but the average viewer does not know the facts on why it could not be reversed. One ref called a touchdown because of inexperience and therefore the ruling on the field was a touchdown and even though there was a booth review you cannot overturn a touchdown to an interception, it can only be ruled incomplete from that point and it was definitely not an incomplete pass. So therefore the refs had to go onto the field and stick with the call that was made on the field. It is a down right terrible way to lose a football game but there really was nothing that could be done about it.
I agree fully with your point on how the call was made and therefore had to stand. It was a bad way for the Packers to lose but even a worse way for the Seahawks to win. They really should have acknowledged the interception even if the records would have to show that it was a loss for the Packers. The way they have approached their unfair win has simply made them look bad in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all that is said here, the Seahawks made a huge boast that was downright wrongful of them. The refs didn't make a good call, but they made a call. The Seahawks should acknowledge that the Packers at least put up a good game. They made themselves look bad because of the gloating and showboating.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely about how it can't be changed and you got to look past it. The call was extremely bad but than again any team that would have been in the seahawks shoes would have done the same thing. It's a great feeling to win especially on a last play hail mary like that. Even if Wilson knew it was a bad call he's going to still be jacked up about it.
