Not only is this dude a walking contradiction, he’s also a straight up dellusional liar. As a packers fan, I long for a rematch in the playoffs.
A perfect scenario would be if one of GB’s LBs took his head off 10 yards down the field before the ball was thrown and when that LB was asked about it, he could say, “I don’t know what you’re talking about”.

Not a cheater…just a liar.

Btw, that was the first “decleater” offensive interference I’ve ever seen.

All you people ripping Tate are imbeciles.

He did EXACTLY what a WR is suppose to do on that play.

Now some of you are wishing harm on the guy, talking about payback, calling him a cheater, etc..

GET OVER IT.

bunch of whiners. its the 3rd game of the season.

When the reporter asked if he pushed off, he responded with “I don’t know what you’re talking about”. I guess its ok now that he got the win* and the outcome can’t be reversed.

Tate made the play of the year.

People need to stop pretending that there was offensive pass interference on that play – OPI is not a callable penalty on a Hail Mary – ever.

dude is a joke. just another mediocre player who thinks he’s jerry rice. he’ll be an afterthought in a couple weeks when someone crushes him coming across the middle. paybacks buddy. and to think you are a big deal because of twitter followers shows his immaturity.

For the rest of his career and even beyond that, this is the legacy that Golden Tate has secured. No matter what other successes he will have, he will predominantly be known for that play. The game has been given to the Seahawks and cannot be reversed, as there is no appeal process. Therefore, he should just come clean and admit that he did not catch a touchdown. Instead he continues to cling to this lie thus cementing his legacy as a liar and that he is someone that cannot be trusted. The honorable thing to do since it would not cost your team the game is to admit what really took place. Admitting the truth would go a long way to erasing this dishonor.

It’s hard to disagree that Pete Carroll acted a little ridiculous (although at this point in his football career we really shouldn’t expect much in the way of class from him).

But you’d have to be pretty ridiculous to blame Tate at all. He didn’t make the call, and even if he said “that was the wrong call” it’s not like they are going to change the result. Tate did his best, and he got a little lucky.

If his pushing off was cheating then there are a whoooooole bunch of cheaters out there this season especially (with all these missed interference calls) and everyone knows the regular refs don’t even make those calls on a Hail Mary.

With that said, if you ain’t cheatin’ you ain’t tryin’.

Come on people. Golden Tate goes to youth football camps in my community and conducts himself quite well. He looks like a kid in a candy store while helping these kids. He is not the bad guy you are all making him out to be. I am not a fan of either of these teams, but there is no reason to call him names. . Went up to grab a ball and win a game. NOT a cheater in my book . My son and I are fans after our experience with him. Leave him alone!

It’s a penalty but it’s not cheating.

Translation, every player who commits a foul, called or not by the referees, is a cheater, or every single person who has played any significant amount of a refereed sport.

Quote: The evidence shows on the film. But like I said, I never had intentions on cheating.

Whatever man, as soon as you place your hands on his back and pushed, you had intentions on cheating. As soon as you, jumped and missed the ball and went to the ground and then placed your hands on the ball like you catch that pass, you intentions of cheating.

Once a cheater, always a cheater!

does batting the ball down guarantee that someone on the offense isnt going to catch it? no, it doesnt. hail marys are just crazy plays where anything can happen no matter what anyone does. if jennings would batted it down into the hands of a reciever everyone would say y didnt he just try to intercept it, he out jumped evryone by a foot. enough of the bat it down crap.

Puke fans just can’t fathom being on the wrong side of the call!

Keep crying Rodgers…….be a leader……MOVE ON!

The pukes will get their woobie back, old refs coming back.

A group of Packer players took the opportunity Monday night and their off day Tuesday to vent their displeasure with the outcome of the game, the poor officiating and mostly the NFL’s unwillingness to settle the referee lockout which created the whole mess in the first place. That hardly constitutes whining in my book. It’s unfortunate people have used this as an opportunity to bash the team and its fans. Are people not free to root for the team of their choice? Does being a Packer fan make someone a bad person? What if this happened to your beloved team? Grow up.

Golden Tate should be a politician. And it’s just like politician to deny, deny, deny until the evidence is so overwhelming against you and everyone is against you, and then go and admit this much.

Screw this guy

I’ve been a Packer fan for about 50 years. People need to lay off of Tate. He did what any other player would have done. NONE of this is the Seahawks fault. They are a good team that played hard. This is ALL the fault of the NFL with their Replacement refs.

Tate deserves not one single ounce of crap for this.

I was at the game. All of you armchair QB’s who have sat and watched 8 million slo-mo replays and now have shifted your anger to GT and PC…are forgetting one important thing. At the game, everything happened in real time.

From my less-than-great seat, I could not see what exactly happened. Had no idea there was a “controversy”. Saw the TD signal go up and went nuts with joy. PC on the sidelines could not see what exactly happened from his vantage point. He saw the signal and celebrated like ANYONE would on a last-play TD/victory. Same as his players…or how ANY players would (Packers included) under the circumstances. The people that are pissed that he “danced” on the sidelines need to actually go to a game to experience it in real time. Feel the excitement of a last second victory. Because at that moment in time, we didn’t know there was a “debacle” happening.

They showed the replay on the screen one or two times (in RT), and I still couldn’t tell what happened. You really think GT remembered every moment as it unfolded (in RT) without the benefit of 27 angles of slo-mo? He fought for the ball and felt he had equal share. Shame on him for such thoughts. By the way, since I’m rambling…if everyone that commits a penalty is a “cheater”, then the NFL is probably 95% cheaters.

Who cares what they said after the game? That really matters to you? Makes the pain worse for you? Wow.

Be angry at the Refs…fine. Be angry at the System…fine. Be angry at your team for only scoring 12 points and allowing 8 sacks in the first half….really fine. By the way, nice O line and public language, Mr. Lang. At least I try to keep those words where they belong….on the golf course.

But to channel your anger at the Seahawks and GT and PC specifically, well, that just shows your level of emotional intelligence on this matter. But hey, whatever makes you feel better.

On to Week 4.
