I watched the game. In a Raiders-Stealers game, Franco Harris caught the “Immaculate Reception.” One of the referees said afterwards, “We asked the ground crew about security and upon being told there wasn’t any, we signaled fair catch.”

I had the same feeling last night, there was about a 3 second break between the words “We have reviewed the play.” and “It was a touchdown.”

The Seahawks fans were screaming. Could you image the rage if the decision would’ve been “Interception”?

I had a few friends at the game, they had no idea what was even going on. There was no replay and no announcements about it. Believe me, Seahawks fans are not the type to “rage” over decisions that dont go their way. We are used to that in Spades. HA!

Things should be a bit different 40 years later with a bajillion cameras all over the field and instant replay. The NFL standing behind that absurd call just throw gasoline on the fire. It’ only going to get worse for the replacement officials now. They are going to be in more danger because of the complete farce that was last nights game. the fans will jump on every call even more so now.

Funny you mention that. I had the same feeling last night too. It's been 40 years since that game but I thought to myself that the ref's biggest concern was safely getting outta Seattle as the fever pitch was VERY high at that point. I guess I should leave SOME room for ineptitude though...lol
