Twitter Lights Up After Refs Blow Monday Night Football Call

The controversial end to the Packers vs Seahawks Monday Night game lit up sports talk radio stations and social media on Monday night. It was a game that was seen as decided by solely a bad call by replacement refs, and the commentary ranged from humorous to scathing. It was such a hot topic that almost the entire list of trending topics were related to the game. Below we have a collection of some of the tweets on the top immediately after the game.

We’ll start off with some angry tweets by players from the Green Bay Packers

TJ Lang @TJLang70
Got f—ked by the refs.. Embarrassing. Thanks nfl

TJ Lang ?@TJLang70
F–k it NFL.. Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs.

TJ Lang ?@TJLang70
Any player/coach in Seattle that really thinks they won that game has zero integrity as a man and should be embarrassed.

Jermichael Finley @JermichaelF88
Come on @NFL this shit is getting out of Control. Caused us a DAMN game. Horrible!

josh sitton @jsitton71
That was bullshit. This is getting ridiculous! The NFL needs to get the refs back bfr we strike and they make no money!

josh sitton @jsitton71
The nfl needs to come to gb and apologize to us for f–king us! These refs r bums!

josh sitton @jsitton71
Golden tate is full of shit too. Saying he clearly caught that is embarrassing! F—king jokers!

Desmond bishop ?@Desbishop55
U can’t even be truly happy as a player to win in such a cheating fashion. Sum funky wins u take but this ain’t them kind. Pay the real refs

Desmond bishop @Desbishop55
Seahawks players/fans can’t be happy about this “win” After all the adversity we fought back like champs. PACKNATIOn we know who really won

Desmond bishop @Desbishop55
Honestly, It’s not about winning or losing here, it’s the integrity of this game we love to play/watch. Hate 2 question it! Pack still good!

cj wilson @cjwilson95
Can’t believe this.. Never seen anything like it.

Here are some other tweets from regular users and celebrities alike:

Mark Cuban @mcuban
I would love to see what my reaction would be if a Mavs game ended like #MNF. #Expensive #NBAtime

James™  @JamesRises
Don’t worry Packers fans same thing happened in the 2000 presidential election

This is already an iconic image of conflicting ref calls.

Gerald Nelson @lordxmen2k
Silly me, I always thought that for a touchdown to happen the QB and the receiver had to be on the same team #NFL #GoodellAndOwnersSuckBalls

HumbleSportsGuy @HumbleSportsGuy
In other news, Jon Gruden said the Packers have a 6,000 mile flight ahead of them. I didn’t realize Green Bay is in Brazil #MNF

Stache @TheRealQStache
Somewhere out there Ed Hoculi is doing celebratory bicep curls. #scabs #nfl

Nicole Alvarez @Nicole1067
So my dad is writing a strongly worded letter to the current #NFLReplacementRefs . #MNF apparently ruined his entire week.

Tommy Chong @tommychong
Hey Packers man…Smoke a doob and forget about it!…no really!

Reign of Troy @ReignofTroy
Russell Wilson became the first QB in history to throw a game-winning interception.

Jay Glazer @JayGlazer
Yes I think the replacement refs blow but I think what the old refs are asking for is total BS too. #rockandahardplace

trey wingo @wingoz
That picture of the two refs calling two different results, priceless .

Twitter lit up with talk about the controversial end to the Packers/Seahawks game.

Jason La Canfora ?@JasonLaCanfora
What. A. Debacle. That was horrendous all the way around. Officials blew it, and then blew it again

Bill Simmons @sportsguy33
And… Here’s the officiating apocalypse that was 3 weeks coming.

Mark Schlabach @Mark_Schlabach
That is horrible. NFL just became an absolute joke

steve hoyt @oddapt
So many sites are calling the MNF call “controversial” rather than “incorrect.” grow a pair.

Chirayu Patel @cp7
I wonder how many #NFL players will be fined over their tweets tomorrow

Frank Caliendo @FrankCaliendo
Personally, i’m so worked up I can’t sleep because of the #MNF game. I might never sleep again if i were a @packers player. #nfl

Sam Vance @samvance
Just imagine if Twitter got this up-in-arms about hunger or the homeless. #nfl

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne
Complete shock and anger in Packers locker room.

Scott Miller @ScottMCBS
Hey, what happened in the Packers-Seahawks game? Can’t find anything on Twitter about it.

Jon Wrigley @JayKon17
“Great game, Seahawks!” – said no one on Twitter tonight. #MNF

Robert Carnell @robertcarnell
That call was so bad I’m counting my Packers pick as correct. So I was 9-7 for week 3

Noah Mann-Engel @byronNME
That game is going to go down in Packers history as THE stolen game, and the #ScabRefs scandal just went supernova. #NFL needs to SHAPE UP!

Sebastian Listur @Seabass529
“Homerun!” -Replacement refs. #MNF
