replacement refs

[barrett]

And this from the NFL today...

The NFL said Tuesday that Seattle's last-second touchdown pass should not have been overturned -- but conceded Seahawks receiver Golden Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference before the catch.

So in other words, none of us saw what we saw.

Also, Pete Carrol is taking the high road as usual.

Pete Carroll said he understands why there is so much outrage about the call that awarded Tate a touchdown. But he said the call ruling it a simultaneous catch, which awards the reception to the offense, was correct.

If there was ever a time for the "we don't make the calls, we just control what we can" line, it was right here for Carrol. Or even a complete dodge and "I'm just proud of our guys for never giving up." Instead he defends the call because it happened for his team.
