Some of the tweets and pictures I've seen are absolutely hilarious.
Packers got totally fucked...and fucked hard! Maybe the Seahawks and their fans can stop whining about Super Bowl XL now...
Can't blame Goodell. Im a Goddell Hater...but hes not to blame totally. He's offering the refs ridiculious money...about $33000 a week...FOR A PART TIME JOB!!!

Not to mention that Tate pushed a Packer clear as day so he even had a chance to look at the ball and the ref was watching it the entire time LOL this is comical and straight up sad.

They also want the league to pay them pensions, or increase their pensions, when they retire, and that is what is really holding up the negotiations.

Bad calls are one thing. Game momentum changing bad calls are another it is happening in ever game i have watched i think next weekend i will go play some hockey at the rink with my boys. The thing that bothers me the most is Der Kommish fining the hell out of players and coaches instead of fixing the obvious problem!
For those i love i will sacrifice.

I'm no fan of unions, especially unnecessary ones, and I think the Refs and the players unions are superfluous...as is the case of most unions, the air of contentiousness their very existence creates is responsible for most of the problems that result with owners/management unrest (disclaimer: In 2001, I worked for Bellsouth, and was making 6 figures in a union shop. I refused to join [even after being threatened by fellow employees on the elevator one day] because 100% of my salary was based on commissions, so why would I, or anyone else, need a union? I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk).
But, in this case, knowing the circumstances, I have to agree with the refs. MANY times the demands of unions actually called for them to be overpaid, and it spirals labor costs out of whack and hits company profits too hard, sometimes to the breaking point. By way of example, a company here in Cleveland recently had to close. They repeatedly went to the union and told them that A) Their labor costs were too high and B) They were out of whack with the industry and C) If the union didn't renegotiate for lower wages and a few layoffs, the whole plant would close. The union refused, citing "greedy corporate management", and the company closed, and EVERYONE lost their jobs. That is not the case. The NFL made nearly one BILLION dollars in profits last year. They can afford to set up an annuity for these guys for pensions.
Fire Goodell
The call must be awful when this is Jon Gruden who says that this is the worst call of all time....Jon Gruden was the coach of the Raiders in 2001 during the tuck rule game!
That happens all the time on Hail Mary passes...everyone knows that and they are never called. But you are right...Tate's shove was pretty blatant...

Right. For a "part time job."

Also, there were also two separate calls on the field. There should've been a huddle of the referees to make the right call. That didn't happen. As a result, the integrity of the game is even more at stake. Not that it wasn't already ...
Where are all the owners now? Jerry Jones basically comes out today and flips the bird to the fans by saying he hasn't seen the play? He was sleeping? Really Jerry? FUCK YOU!
Yep remember it well even mentioned it yesterday. In the same game there was an offsides play when our guy flinched and the colts jumped...refs called a do over???
I also mentioned the time that "Chin" stuffed a picture in the refs pocket when he called us for to many players on the field.
Yeah, now they're boo-hooing about the media:

'Scuse me? The Steelers have NEVER been given ANY credit for winning that game by the media. EVER. Not only that, but specifically because of all the media whining and bellyaching after that game, the Steelers have been accused of paying off the refs for basically every fucking game they've won since.Why does the media not point out that the refs gave the game to Green Bay in the first place on a series of bad calls and non calls?
Why this sudden outrage NOW when we not only deserved to win to begin with, but they didn't make a peep in SB XL?
Time to change the tampon, Sally.
To be fair, it's not all the refs. There's just too much inexperience among the ranks. That white ref who came in and signaled touchdown is the reason they f-'d up the call. He looks over to his buddy and sees that he's raising his arms in the air and assumes it's a touchdown. An experienced ref doesn't signal anything until he knows what's going on.

That was a terrible call and the replacements refs really screwed this game up. That said, anyone who wants the regular refs back just because the replacement refs decided the outcome of a game should be reminded of games like N.Y. Jets/Seattle 1998, and Denver/San Diego 2008
Battleball Champion!Either that or take the appropriate measures to bring these new refs up to speed.

NFL supports decision to not overturn Seahawks' touchdownThe NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review.
This is simply not a league that handles difficult decisions or situations well. They burned the Cheatriots evidence and buried their collective heads in the sand. Why would anyone expect anything different in this particular case?
Fire Goodell

LOL - bear in mind, these are the same clowns that screamed "ITZ UH KIN-SPEAR-UH-SEE!!!!1111!!!!" when Pereira stated that the officiating in SB XL was correct...
And in the irony of all ironies, an NBA player (a league whose own "officiating" is roughly akin to that of the WWE) sounding off.LeBron James @KingJames
These replacement refs gotta go man!! Packers just got game took from them. I LOVE NFL football to much to see this type of work.
LeBron James @KingJames
C'mon man!! That's clearly a interception.
LeBron James @KingJames
I simply just LOVE the NFL to much to see these mistakes. I'm sick like I just played for the Packers

Hmm. The lack of Chidi is odd, maybe too hostile. I don't blame him.
On Topic: Packers got fucked before the controversial catch even came into question. Tate interfered just before.
Honestly, bad calls all game. Some favoring Seattle, some favoring Green Bay. Green Bay didn't put the game away when they should have, and they lost.
Oh, and I LOVE the twitterverse today!
What about the integrity of the game, Seattle? Isn't that what they bellyached about after XL? DA STEALERS PAYED DA REFS!
It's all about the integrity, right? Oh wait, the roles are reversed this time, the refs made a good call! Pittsburgh got loads of shit after XL even when they didn't do anything wrong, now the rage and fury is aimed at Shitattle for "winning" on a bad call, they don't like it.
Fuck the Seahawks. They didn't win this game. Asterisk. The Packers were robbed.

I said that the Pats, the Packers and Peyton Manning among others no longer receive preferential treatment by the NFL and refs. I think it is hilarious that the owner's need to bring back the old refs under a new booth system and get rid of Goodell. Hopefully all before the weekend.
All Defense!
I thought the fan base for the cheats was bad but, the seahawks fans are the worst I have ever heard. When I watched this play unfold I was shocked about the call. To me it's sad that the NFL since worthless Roger has been at the helm they can't ever admit they are wrong.
Where's the integrity? Remember in the 2002 wild-card game between the Giants and 49ers when the league had the integrity to admit the refs made a mistake at the end of the game? That integrity is GONE
