Goodell tells us that the Saints were compromising the integrity of the game.
HA!!!

Someone sent this email in to Grantland. He has a point right? I mean this is plausible.
I am in shock right now. Without a doubt the sickest bad beat in my gambling career which is saying a lot. All I know is that Ref #28 is the one who made the bogus phantom Pass Interference call on Sam Shields on Seattle's second to last drive for 32 yard. He is also the one who failed to see Golden Tate's blatant shove in the back on the final play, and of course he is the one who called the touchdown. It is absolutely impossible for me to stop wondering if that guy was in some way not financially compensated or bribed to affect this game for the Seahawks. I am begging you as a prominent media figure to please bring up this particular individual, Ref #28 somehow on your site and possibly raise some groundswell for an official investigation. This is the biggest injustice possibly in the recent history of sports and sports gambling and it would be a travesty if this guy gets away with it. Please at least mention this in passing somehow in some format somewhere on Grantland. What an absolute joke, again I am in complete shock right now …

i mean, is it possible... absolutely.
i was thinking about it during the game last night (just at some random point before the chaos). these guys are perfect for organized crime if they can get to them. these refs have a short lifespan. the criminals can offer them huge paydays which can help both sides as these refs know at the end of the day they have no future in the nfl. they have nothing to lose,really. other than if they are caught then they go to jail.
its highly unlikely that its going down that way, but its certainly plausible.

Did they review the call?
Everywhere I'm reading says that play was not reviewable but:
1. I thought it was reviewed
2. If it is not reviewable, why not?

they "reviewed" it for what seemed like 10 seconds. not sure why it isnt reviewable
IMO it might not have been the worst call in the last few minutes of the game
the phantom roughing the passer that reversed a GB int, an offensivepass interference that they somehow called on the defense on a 1st and 30 play, then the offensive interference on the final play and the clear INT that was called a TD
im not going to get into if this play was a hold or that play was a hold, what i listed above were gross

They said they were reviewing it on the PA system, but it isn't technically reviewable, so they couldn't change the result.
It is just one of those plays that isn't reviewable. There are several, still. Quirky NFL stuff.

i thought they said the roughing the passer was because he tackled him below the knees. i thought that was an auto flag.
i fell asleep before the end of the game so i'm not sure if that was the same play.

What's amazing to me is just how incredibly inept these replacement refs are. It's almost as if they're plants by the actual NFL refs' union. It's easy for me to say this as I sit and watch a game in my recliner with no pressure and without thousands of fans and a hundred PED'ed up football players screaming at me, but I seem to know more of the rules than the refs do. It's not like they're screwing up little nitpicky things either. I've seen horribly blatant offsides, holding that borders on criminal restraint in some states, and more late hits than a curtain call at a Neil Diamond concert. During the Bears-Colts game in week 1, there was one play where a Bears D-lineman was almost behind the Colts' left tackle when the ball was snapped and there was no call. How could people who officiate football on a weekly basis and are probably NFL football fans themselves not know so many of the rules?

yeah that was the same play... i'm not sure that was a shoestring tackle.
he didn't crush him but he did tackle him at the knees area... which i thought was a penalty.
i have no idea .... by the 'eye test', it obviously didn't look bad but i thought the rule was you couldn't go at a QB's knees at all

This sounds like a rule that accompanies the "Empty seat between us" rule when guys go to a movie together.

well there certainly wasn't anything late or malicious about that hit at the end of that play.
so if it wasn't that below the knee stuff it was just really bad

If Green Bay would have only played for 60 mins and took out knees there would be zero issue.
