It was very obviously caught; you can't rule that incomplete.

They made a mistake calling the play a touchdown, but they did NOT make a mistake with the replay. They aren't allowed to review who caught the ball and they definitely aren't allowed to intentionally break the rules to make up for an earlier mistake.
/NFL: now that replacement refs have cost the packers a win, can we please get the real ones back? *NM*

Thanks; that looks like a textbook case of simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver: TD.

Tate was looking for the ball, and raised his hands to catch it, not push off Sam Shields.

Fair enough then; the NFLs official position is that offensive PI should have been called.

Yeah, if one hand counts as possession

Left hand between Jennings' arms and on the ball; right was outside Jennings' arm and on the ball.

She hates revenue sharing, salary caps & the draft, too, but the Pack would be screwed without each.

you can't claim "good ol' strip" *AND* simultaneous catch -- which is it?

There are two separate issues: 1) Was it a simultaneous catch; 2) IF not, was it a strip?
