Washington Patch users weigh in on the finish to the Green Bay-Seattle Monday Night Football game.
Seattleites and all Washingtonians know Monday night's last-second victory over the Green Bay Packers was lucky as a winning lottery ticket. But few feel the need to apologize about that fact. Out West, 'Hawks fans are saying, the team has caught its share of bad breaks and worse calls. (Remember Superbowl XL against Pittsburgh?) So when the team caught a good one – with the generous help of Packer defensive back M. D. Jennings and replacement refs -- the thinking in the Evergreen State was, "It's about time." Call it the Karmic Katch. Although to be honest, few seem to think that either the catch or the penalty just prior were exactly fair to the Packers faithful. Seattle-area Patch sites already got a dose of the reaction from Wisconsin…
Fed up with blown calls, a group of football fans is urging others to stop watching games for five days.

As the twitter-sphere blows up and Facebook is flooded with comments about the Green Bay Packer's loss to the Seattle Seahawks during Monday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers nine sacks and the final call that lost the game for the Pack, we want to hear what you think: Also, take our poll and share what you think should happen with the referring situation in the NFL in the comments section below! Here's what a few of the players are saying in the Twitter-sphere: GregJennings: #NFL C'MON MAN! Can't even be upset anymore. All I can do is laugh.
