46. THIS is the NFL own devise, they are causing this, they DO NOT CARE! Why doe we?

BEcause we love football. Owners know this. Owners do not wish to pay $500k each to fund the NFL refs PENSIONS! NFL feels the refs dont need pensions.
NFL is shooting itself in the foot everytime this happens! It is also happening in the NHL as well, and is the cause of the lockout.

I watched the video of this on ESPN.com and from my judgment the Packers player maintained control.	alp227	Sep 2012	#11
Completely agree. Jennings (the Packers player) had it 100%.	joshcryer	Sep 2012	#22
The Seattle Seahawk player just barely had any control.	LiberalFighter	Sep 2012	#64

I don't understand, the rule book is clear.	naaman fletcher	Sep 2012	#39

Yeah but that is not relevant to the posession issue.	naaman fletcher	Sep 2012	#44
but it is relevant to the shitty officiating issue	frylock	Sep 2012	#49
