That camera angle with Elliott reaction and the Eagles running onto the field was awesome.

Romo "That's why they drafted Andy Dalton" I don't think I have ever heard an announcer use that line on someone who was drafted 7 years ago...

Completely disagree. If Tate is tackled inbounds and it's ruled not a touchdown, there's no way they get up to the line and run another play in less than 8 seconds. (Of course, I'm biased in the other direction...)
I think it's more they got jobbed because the call was that he was in and there was no way they could conclusively say he was not...

Yeah, but I don't think he got tackled inbounds. I thought the ball was clearly over the goal line when his knee touched down, and if it wasn't, it was way too damn close to overturn.

OK, that's fair enough. I did think it was clear that the ball was short of the goalline when Tate's knee scraped the turf, but I didn't think to look at was whether he was touched by a Falcons player before the knee bounced back up and he crossed the line.

When I saw it, it looked like Tate hadn't yet gained possession of the ball when his knee was down at first, then he lifted it up and completed the catch and was contacted, then he crossed the goal line, and then his knee went down again. So I thought it should have been a touchdown, and was waaaaay too close to definitively overturn it. Either way, congrats on a ridiculous win!

The handing holding the ball hit the ground before the ball came out, which cannot cause a fumble. Plus his legs were down.
I said it was close to a fumble, I never said it was a fumble. I was responding to someone who said it wasn't even close to a fumble. It was close. Bang bang, in fact.

Seahawks pick off a pass. Chancellor is literally 5 yards down the field, post INT, and then flags are thrown.

If it's a foul, call the foul.

I've watched a lot of football today and there have been about, I don't know, 500 million dubious calls. This is another problem for the NFL. Weird, erratic, and odd calls over and over, some of them having a severe impact on the result of the game.

Sherman having a complete meltdown on the field and it is glorious.

And then they throw the book at Sherman, who deserved some of it.

On the next play, another flag on Tennessee. Wheeee, this is fun.

Yeah, thanks. :) Reminds me of the Snow Bowl game - I was listening to that on internet radio in my London apartment, and when Brady was sacked and the Raiders recovered I turned my computer off in frustration. Wasn't until the next morning that I learned the Pats had actually won! Today I had already started going through the five stages of grief and had resigned myself to the loss, when suddenly Walt Coleman started speaking...

...hang on, Walt Coleman was the referee in BOTH games, wasn't he? Now I've just freaked myself out.

Seriously.

They need to codify the 'toddler rule' for these guys.
Fair warning, and a 3 second countdown.
Ref: 'I'm giving you a count of three to turn wound and walk away.'
If the guy is still in the ref's face after 3: penalty. If it's a second offense in a game, ejection.
Football, and absolutely basketball.
Baseball I think is a little different I think.

So, the national anthem singer in Tennessee went to a knee towards the end of the song, and the FOX crew immediately cut to an empty door at the back of the stadium for a few seconds, then showed a few other random people... never cutting back to the singer. That's what I gathered from what they just showed on the Red Zone channel, which is just ridiculous to me.

edit: okay I might be wrong on this. I guess they kept cutting to the empty hallway because both teams stayed in the locker room for the anthem. It definitely looked strange in the clip they showed on NFLN RedZone.

Williams Action Jackson with a 70 yard pick six on Rodgers.

edit - only the 2nd pick six by Rodgers ever. Surprising stat.

Holy crap Sherman just crushed Marriota out of bounds.

Edit: I didn't notice there was already a comment on that. I'd say the chances of Sherman making it to the end of the game are slim.
