Terrible Call

I have had to listen to a half-an-hour worth of opinions and disgust from ESPN about the Monday Night Football game between the Seahawks and the Packers. The reason for the long discussion is becasue on the last play of the game a Packer defender clearly intercepted Russell Wilson's hail mary pass in the end zone; but as the Packer came down to the ground Golden tate, a Seahawk reciever who also had jumped for the ball, wrapped his arms around the ball and gained possession once both men had hit the ground. By NFL rules it should have been a clear intercption and a Packer win, but amongst mass confusion and a sense of unknowing the official call was a Seahawk touchdown. After roughly 5 minutes of replay review, the call was upheld and the Seahawks won 14-12. So basically, the Packers have been robbed of a win as a result of these replacement refs. I am not a fan of either team, but as a football fan this is has gone to far. This has to be the last straw, its time to bring back the true NFL refs!
