		<description><![CDATA[I am amazed that so many football people simply choose to ignore what the NFL rule book constitutes a completed catch? By rule Tate completed the catch first and then Jennings. The NFL community needs to pull their collective heads out!! Not to mention that they want to discuss that one play/call but not the other calls during the game that allowed GB to score their only touch down. If it was not for the poor officiating during the game Green Bay would of only scored 3 points!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Analyze the play, and the rules conflict with each other.  

Can&#039;t have Dual possession, until you make a catch.
Can&#039;t have a catch until you have possession, AND both feet, or a knee or elbow on the ground.
Tate has one hand on the ball in the air, ( hundreds of one handed catches through the years) Packer defender has both hands on the ball in the air.
Tate touches the ground FIRST, and has both hands on the ball Packer defender still hasn&#039;t touched the ground.
So how can you rule defender intercepted the ball if he hasn&#039;t completed the ACT of a catch, by having both feet/knee/elbow on the ground?
If anyone completed the ACT of a catch it was Tate.
Tate may have only had one hand on the ball in the air, (still enough to claim possession) but he had both hands when he touched the ground, completing the ACT of a catch.

Not enough video evidence to overturn what was ruled on the field.

		<description><![CDATA[It is amusing to see that this guy keeps writing with such strong belief that the Packers deserved to win a game in which they only scored twelve points, and their only touchdown came on a drive with a pass interference call that was more egregious than the Tate catch.  

Maybe you can argue that the Hawks didn&#039;t earn the win, by holding Aaron Rodgers and company to twelve points (really just six legit points) while sacking him eight times, but that seem like a path to victory in the NFL to me.  

Enjoy your delusions.  The Seahawks will just enjoy the win.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would be great if the packers/Seahawks met on the NFC championship and it came down to the packers last drive, and the refs just randomly awarded GB a touchdown for no reason.  I bet seababy fans wouldn&#039;t complain at all. 

I mean, the same thing happened for them, so they&#039;d see no problem when it happened against them, right?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seriously, the media is acting like this was the most egregious call ever.  Yeah, Packers got robbed by a bad call...so has every team in football at some point.  I remember a game in which Vinny Testeverde of the Jets was granted a TD that was clearly not (even under replay) and it cost the Seahawks a game late in the season.  This loss actually kept the Seahawks out of the playoffs that year all together.  Where was the outrage and the constant analysis?  By the way, these were &quot;real&quot; refs...and the &quot;real&quot; refs this year have made some terrible calls, too....boo hoo Packers...  They could have just beaten Minnesota yesterday and controlled their own destiny...they had to play the game anyway.]]></description>

The so-called “Fail Mary” is GB fans’ convenient scapegoat for the loss. The real story of the game: the NFL’s #1 ranked defense holding the prolific GB offense to just 12 points throughout the 59 minutes and 45 seconds leading up to Tate’s one-handed catch.

Hmm. You have a loose definition of the term &quot;catch.&quot;

Especially since the guy who made the call admitted it was wrong. 

Honestly, I hope the Packers end up playing the sea babies again.

You think you&#039;d destroy the packers, Seahawk fans? Interesting analysis. I suppose your team is the only one ever to improve during the season. 

After all, Rodgers was 8th overall in QB rating after week 5, now he is first. I know it&#039;s tough for you, because you&#039;re fans of one of the worst franchises in sports, but for Christs sake, act like you&#039;ve been there before. 

Bears fans, your defense won&#039;t be as good next year, your QB will still be mediocre, and the Packers will still own you. No amount of whining or idiotic behavior will change these facts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why don&#039;t Green Bay fans (or the media, or the haters) ever consider that if M.J. Jennings had just done his JOB and knocked the pass down, this most likely wouldn&#039;t have become the beaten horse it is? He had no reason to try to intercept it: knock it down, end of game - GB wins. Look at your own player - he ultimately made the showboat, selfish decision to up his stats with an attempt at interception. 
Bad calls affect every game.]]></description>

The only missed call in the history of the NFL to affect the outcome of a game.  How unlucky for the Packers.
---------------------------------------------------------
You&#039;ve got to be joking, right.  Missed calls happen every week that affect the outgame of most every game, blowouts excluded.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What sticks out most to me about the Fail Mary is that Seattle seemed to use it to fuel an exceptional second half of the season while Green Bay (or at least the writers defending Green Bay) used it only as an excuse.

This happening so early in the season gave both teams plenty of opportunities to secure their own futures, regardless. Seattle seized it while Green Bay let it get in their way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Green Bay sorry you feel like you got screwed.  But quit blaming us Seahawks fans and our team.  We didn&#039;t make the call the refs did.  The fact is we are 11-5 and we played you as well as anyone that day.  I&#039;m not gonna tell you as fans to get over it because I know it took me a long time to get over Super Bowl 40.  I&#039;m just gonna say stop blaming us, put the blame where it really belongs and that&#039;s with the NFL for not giving us fans the best product possible by getting a deal done with the real refs.  Best of luck in the playoffs]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God... I hope, I PRAY, the Packers make it to the NFC Championship Game for a rematch with the Seahawks in Lambeau.

As a Seahawk fan, that would be a dream come true. We match up perfectly against those cupcakes. 

And now that Wilson is on fire, they won&#039;t have nearly as easy of a time keeping our offense out of the end zone. Only reason that game was so close was because our offense still hadn&#039;t gelled in Week 3. We&#039;re a different beast now. Green Bay has no defense or offensive line. They&#039;d get pounded by the 49ers or the Seahawks. It takes more than offense to win championships, trust me. As a Seahawk fan, I know darn well first-hand how true that is. And I&#039;m freakin stoked that we finally have a team built to handle offenses like GB. Won&#039;t even be a game. The Redskins and 49ers will be much harder. But if we make it to Lambeau, I&#039;ll be buying SuperBowl tickets and booking my airfare to New Orleans before we even play that game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I appreciate a lot of the bravado I see in my fellow Niner fans regarding a rematch with the Seahawks, but come on. Can the Niners beat the Seahawks? Absolutely! Can a Niner fan be sure that&#039;s going to happen? Please get serious. The Seahawks just got finished stomping us worse than any team has in two seasons. As much as any Niner fan might not want to admit it, the Seahawks are a serious contender and will be a huge challenge for any of the teams in the playoffs. I&#039;m glad the NFC West is a powerful division these days and should be for a while.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Packers made the playoffs so there&#039;s not much room to complain.  

That said I grow tired of Seahawk fans &quot;OH KAM CHANCELLOR PI CALL in THE 4th&quot;.  A call that 100% decides the game isn&#039;t the same as one at midfield with 11 minutes for the game to play out.  

It must be something with the West Coast fans since anytime the  Jerry Rice fumble in the &#039;98 playoffs is mentioned it&#039;s the same thing.  &quot;Oh remember that Don Beebe play in the middle of a regular season game where he was down and got a TD, guess this made up for it&quot;.]]></description>
