Jets fans have been complaining about how the interceptions weren't legit and that's what cost them the game. These guys are giving GB some love for making good plays there.

call me a homer, but those are interceptions. Both Tramon & the Jet player had their hands on the ball, as they hit the ground the ball pops back to Tramon...same thing with the Chuck pick of Dustin Keller...if you ask me, it's the Calvin Johnson effect...neither Jets player finished the process.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Gotta complete the catch and the Packers defenders did that, the Jets receivers didn't. They wanna complain, go complain about their WRs. Those are the guys that cost them the game.

i didn't remember that many drops until i saw that vid. thanks jets. yes the ints were legit. whoever comes up with the ball, on a duel possession catch, gets it. love sterling sharp. he's very funny on that show. he'd be a hall of famer if it weren't for that neck injury. maybe someday anyway. there are great players in the hall who's careers were cut short by injury.

[PA Pack Fan]

Theres no way either of those were interceptions. Great effort, but we got lucky on both calls.

I think Tramon's was and Woodson's I'm not to sure about. As soon as Woodson's was ruled for the Pack I said, "Thank God the Jets are out of challenges."

There was a way

Before the rule change, those may not have been INTs. With the new rules the WR must maintain possession through the act of going to the ground. Before the act is completed there is no catch and the WR cannot be ruled down by contact. Therefore, if a DB gets the ball before then, it must be ruled an INT.

[Airin' Rodgers]

Woodson's was definitely an INT. Keller never had possession of the ball, it was being juggled.

Tramon's, I'm not too sure the specifics on the simultaneous catch rule, so I can't really judge it

+1

The Jets players never completed the catches, and the ball never hit the ground before the our guys came up with them. Solid calls, and neither would have been overturned on review.

[Fritz]

Both the Jets and Vikings victories are clearly illegitimate - the Packers were handed those games by the officials. However, the previous games against Miami and Washington, which featured close-but-correct calls against the Packers on several key plays, were well-deserved victories by the Packers' opponents.

Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this!

[Lurker64]

I think by the '10 disinterested guys in a bar" standard, both the Packer INTs should definitely have been INTs.

Disregard any knowledge you have of the rules, if player A and player B catch the ball simultaneously, they go to the ground, and player B rips the ball away from player A on the way to the ground, which player deserves the ball more?

I like the interested guy in his living room test. I thought both calls were great.

Jets fans (whom I love) can kiss my heiney, comforted by the fact that Testaverde did not really break the plane on that touchdown in 1998 versus the Seahawks. It all evens out in the end.

Mostly.

Except for Erik Williams in the 2006 NFC championship game. That will never go away.
