These god damn refs!

[What]

to me, that's a stupid ass argument. the seahawks played their balls off last night, what was the number? 8 sacks in the first half or something like that? sometimes players have bad days and some have great ones, don't discredit the seahawks' play by saying it shouldn't have been that close, on paper it probably shouldn't have been but that's the way it played out. the fact that it was decided the way it was is a disservice to the league and its players, and also to the fans.

I aint arguing that man, yeah it was a terrible end to the game, yeah it sucked for everyone except the 'hawks and real refs, but the fact that a team who should have easily dropped 30 points on the 'Hawks could barely muster anything, the seahawks might not have deserved that win, but they fought like hell for it. However, even with the bad pass interference call earlier on, and some other head scratchers they could not get down the field. They were outclassed by the team that they were seemingly having their way with on defense.

Bottom line, the pack player just barely good enough to win, and it wasn't enough.

True enough, that game was a defense showcase with refs making dumb calls left and right.

Wrong, with real refs the game would have ended 19-0.

It's Nem, Packers of course.

[Chikun]

Ugh, does Nem live in the same state as me?

[Rapedollar$]

Eat a dick.


Also, Seattle did not score a point that wasn't given to them. The 4th quarter was so bad it gave several children cancer.

I know some of you may not be familiar with our rules so I'll try to help you out.

Simultaneous Possession comes into effect when both a receiver and a DB (defensive back, the guy covering the receiver) go to catch the ball and both have their hands on it or cradle it against each other. In this case it always counts as a reception for the receiver, regardless of what happens once they hit the ground.

Here are some clips of a simultaneous catch so you can compare:







You'll see in their videos how possession is gained by both players at the same time. Note that possession does not count as who touches the ball first, but rather who controls the ball.



Now in this clip you'll see that the DB (in white) catches the ball, the receiver (in black) gets his hands on it, but as they are coming down his hands slip off the ball, this means he never possesses the ball and it is not simultaneous possession.




Compare that one to the abortion you witnessed last night.
