Seattle vs Green Bay week 3 final

The complaints of questionable calls and outright bad calls by the officials during NFL games is becoming quite a bit more than just sour grapes by fans.

If it was just here or there you could pass it off as a fan wanting to see a failed execution on a play so bad that they might actually believe they saw something they didn’t. But it is more than that.

Since the regular season started, almost every single game has seen complaints of calls that just were not right. This complaints are not just coming from fans, but also players, coaching staff and even the commentators and other sports reporters.

The end of this game is another good example of calls that will be questioned and second guessed. The final play of the game with no time outs left Seattle had no choice but top go for the hail mary play and a touchdown pass attempt.

Even though the replays appeared to show that Jennings of the defense had his hands on the ball first and had apparently intercepted the ball, an official on the field ruled the play a touchdown. Even though the officials looked at the replays again since it was a score, the ruling from the field stood.

It will be interesting to see the backlash from additions postings and controversy over this game ender. The commentators are using words like bizzare, embarrassing, terrible, sad, and others and although they are not in total agreement on each call, more than just a few are saying that it was a bad call and did in fact cost the game for Green Bay.

Additionally, it will be interesting to see an official comment from the league about this, if one is forthcoming.

The official final score in this game was Seattle 14 Green Bay 12.
