Seahawks Not the Only Ones Who "Got Lucky"

Seahawks get rare NFL admission of ruling errors - NFL - Yahoo! Sports: "Sunday, with 1:14 left in the second quarter and the Seahawks leading 7-3, Shockey briefly caught a 7-yard pass from Eli Manning in the center of the end zone. Seattle safety Marquand Manuel then lowered his right shoulder into Shockey and forced the ball to the turf, though officials signaled a touchdown."

Manuel (in for Hamlin) laid a monsterous hit on Shockey that knocked the ball out of his hands before he got both feet to the ground. Yet, the officials ruled this a "touchdown." Still, we're expected to believe that the Seahawks only won this game because the Giants allowed them to. I call bullshit on that, man!

That hit was big. On careful examination, not only did he not retain possession, but the Manuel hit distorted space-time and accelerated Schockey well into half-time; the alleged reception was therefore a full 12 minutes after the play was initiated, and ruled dead by the famous Hawking-Favre quantum gravitational distortion postulate.
