I was reading an article on the most shocking games of 2012. When I got to the end I could say I wasn't very shocked
http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap1000000120825/most-shocking-nfl-games-of-2012#photo=10........................It was a catch!

I don't think it was a catch.

We've been over this before......

depends what you consider a catch, one handed catches dont count anymore?

It was a catch, I was there

I've come around to it being a catch after at first arguiing against it. It was one of the most blatant offensive pass interference's of all time and should have been a loss regardless of whether it was a catch or not though.

But, i'm not apologizing and i'll happily take the W!

Why is the mainstream media suppressing this story?

DohBoy

The two feet down was the key

hands on ball, feet on ground. Touchdown. Suck it.

Should have why? Name ONE TIME in NFL history where you've seen PI called on a Hail Mary. It never happens. Why? Because the league specifically tells refs not to call it since there are so many guys constantly jostling. They could never finish a half or a game if they started calling PI on Hail Mary plays, so they just don't do it. Ever.

Geezus, are we EVER gonna' stop talking about this one stupid play???

I agree. But it still doesnt change the fact that it was.

How is it if that is not called? The league has said not to call it, which would mean that the LEAGUE has determined there is no such penalty. So how is it a "tact that it was"? It is a fact that it was something that doesn't exist? Ok... super. But it doesn't make any sense. Something can't be something that is non-existent.

OP you should look for bait elsewhere instead of opening this can of worms

OH THE AGONY, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP

There should be a "Dead Horse" forum for stuff like this

Yeah right there with the Futch, Curry is a bust, Overpaid for Branch and Kelly Jennings sucks gems.

I hereby nominate this as post of the year.

Catch.

Unlike Hutchison, Curry, et al, the media keeps bringing this back up, not Seahawks fans. That's why I call it the "Wail Mary," they keep crying about it.

And the sorriest thing about it, it was a catch, but they refuse to look at it any other way. Small media market teams will never get the benefit of the doubt whereas a big market team, they would probably look at it both ways. But that's life and it will always be that way.

I hope like hell we meet Green Bay in the playoffs and give them a historic beat down.

It ranks among the most beautiful catches this season, including Sherman's sideline, tippy toe grab and that
spectacular grab (also one handed, like Tate's) against us in the Bills game.

If one handed catches don't count, you've gotta knock Larry Fitzgerald down about five pegs on the greatness meter,
from "godlike" to "Jerramy Stevens"

That right there. The only thing that matters in this whole discussion. Then and Now. Save this photo on your PC and shove it whoever's face, Each time it arises. I better grab it for after the Super Bowl!

It drives me nuts that Seahawks fans are going out and saying that because Golden's feet touched the ground first, it wasn't an interception. The NFL casebook, A.R. 8.29, makes this clear.

A.R. 8.29: First-and-10 on A20. B3 controls a pass in the air at the A40 before A2, who then also controls the ball before they land. As they land, A2 and B3 fall down to the ground.

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on A40. Not a simultaneous catch as B3 gains control first and retains control.

I hate to add to this discussion, but it's just something that really irks me because it paints our fanbase as ignorant to anyone who knows their stuff.

the infamous Golden Grab of Glory! I am growing to really appreciate this play and the Go get the ball attitude of Tate. (and the post, ad nauseam whining result is...we still win!)

Um, is that my photo by any chance?

It was a catch. Only a few people on this planet knows this with logic.

Tate had the first stop on the football (one hand). Jennings had it soon after. As they fell down Tate touched the ground first with two feet while Jennings was still in midair. Catch.

Here you go again.

You know, if we win out and Green Bay wins out, then it gets settled once and for all and actually that will benefit the Hawks because it's obvious that our team has moved on while they can't get over it, so the revenge angle will likely be a huge distraction for them and could be a detriment (teams looking for "revenge" often get burned.)

I love watching other teams' fans agonize over this crap.

Finally.

Finally it's not my problem.

Love it.

Tate rules. Catch.

BTW Jennings sucked!

LOL! I was about to write a detailed response explaining why it was a catch without referring to two feet, and then I read your post.

Not my problem.
