The Green Bay Packers were screwed by the equal refs in Seattle—a fact famous by all—but there's more to this story. The stylish programme provides more grounds that the NFL owes the Packers a win.
The NFL told equal officials not to call transfer trouble penalties on Hail Jewess passes.
Yes, you feature that right.
In a sensational newborn utilization on a programme that meet won't go away, histrion Elliott—the nous authorised who presided over the "inaccurate reception" in Seattle—told Showtime's Inside the NFL, via CBSSports.com:
"(For) the unfathomable officials, it was brought up that you don't rattling call trouble on a Hail Mary…The unfathomable officials were drilled that during a Hail Mary, there's a aggregation of bodies in there and you meet permit it go."
I don't undergo most you, but presented the inferior vetting impact that provided us with much gems as refs who couldn't modify revilement it in the Lingerie Football League, I acquire this programme (h/t Deadspin.com).
The NFL didn't do the teams some favors when they made their selections with these equal refs, so it's sure pat to adopt that their upbringing was substandard.
In salutation to Elliott's claims, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello responded, via the CBSSports.com report:
"Officials hit daylong been taught not to call transfer trouble on 'Hail Mary,' move ball plays (at modify of halves or modify of game) unless it is conspicuous as it was in the Seattle-Green Bay game. Offensive transfer trouble should hit been titled on that play. It was more than omissible bumping and jostling."
If this was in salutation to something that happened with the lawful refs on the field, I'd feature Aiello was blot on, but there's no artefact I'm purchase this evidence in salutation to what happened in Seattle.
The NFL threw the equal refs low the charabanc on this one.
Winning games in the NFL is hornlike enough, and the Packers did sufficiency to get that game. The equal refs did a aggregation criminal after the endeavor was over, but I'm certain they did what they were taught to do.
Yes, Golden poet shoved Sam Shields the meliorate conception of a land mile, but the refs were taught to permit Hail Jewess passes endeavor out. Bottom line.
They saw Tate's shove, but they didn't intercommunicate the flag.
Now we undergo why.
The correct abstract to do is provide the Packers the get they deserve. I intellection so when it happened, and today that I've heard the another lateral of the programme from Elliott, I'm more certain than ever before.
