Here’s what Tate told an AP reporter earlier:

Asked later if he got his hands on Wilson’s pass first, Tate wasn’t so sure.

“I think so. … Oh, well maybe he did. But I took it from him,” Tate said.

Maybe if the Packers OL had played better & their coaching decisions had been smarter earlier in the game, they wouldn’t be belly aching this morning about a blown call at the end of the game and blaming the replacement refs for their loss. If they are as good as everyone likes to think they are, they would have had a big enough lead over the Seahawks where the last second TD catch wouldn’t have beaten them. C’est La Vie.

In case you thought this ending never happened before with the real refs..You know the union paid-off refs…In 1999 in the favor of surprise the Patriots..

Stop complaining…this has happened before with the paid-off Refs….Surprise the last time in favor of the Patriots…in 1999

Several Bills claimed one said “just give it to them” (referring to first down yardage) in the huddle. Television instant replays showed that he was short of first down yardage, but the NFL had discontinued use of instant replay the previous season. This was followed by a questionable pass interference call made in the end zone on what would have been the game’s final play. Bledsoe hit Ben Coates for a touchdown on the final untimed play of the game. In protest, the Bills left the field and let the Patriots kicker Adam Vinateri walk in for a meaningless two-point conversion. Doug Flutie, then the Bills’ quarterback, later quipped “They gave them the game, we figured we might as well give them the extra point.”

I will take the replacements anytime. Obviously, it is difficult to call a game, but at least they don’t throw the games.

If you saw the end of the Monday night game you would know that you have to get this situation resolved, Packers clearly got robed. That was not a Touchdown! Seattle does not deserve that win. Let me ask you a question what if that was a championship game? the winner would not deserve the trophy. Owners if your team lost because of a BS Call would you pay the refs? Pay them after the fact, after losing the ring or the championship. How embarrassing lose a championship over a bad call ridiculous this lock out must be fixed ASAP. Clearly a bad call.

Have the boys at PFT hit the sack?! MNF had kinda a spectacular finish tonight. Newsworthy, one might say. Hello? Mike? Anyone?

This is the biggest travesty I have ever witnessed.

A 100% clear interception is ruled a TD?

It is a freaking insult.

Not much more to say.

I am a Lions fan, therefore I’ve seen a ton of screw jobs, but that was absolutely the worst one I’ve ever seen. I’m sorry Packer fans, that was horrid.

FIRE THE REFS AND FIRE GOODALL!
FIRE THE REFS AND FIRE GOODALL!
We the fans pay to see this crap. I’ve supported the exceptions of the replacements until this. This is ridiculous. Now it’s costing games because of the lousy calls, and completely unmistakable reviews and they still don’t get it right. Worst year of Football in NFL History

Well, the incompetent replacements have finally done it – they changed the outcome of a game by botching an obvious call and then confirm the error.

Disgusting.

Well, the SCABS just cost a team a game.

1) Missed the offensive PI on the hail mary, in which #37 of the Packers was blatantly pushed to the ground.

2) #43 of the Packers clearly had control of the ball in the end zone.

Unbelievable.

OUTRAGEOUS! Heads need to roll.
