Last night it finally happened. The gaffe everyone saw coming weeks ago occurred at the expense of the Green Bay Packers. The NFL's replacement refs inexplicably gave the Seattle Seahawks' Golden Tate a game-winning touchdown when Green Bay's M.D. Jennings clearly had possession for the interception. The moment the referees gave Seattle the W Twitter went H.A.M. From LeBron James to Packers guard T.J. Lang, here's how Twitter reacted to the replacement refs (and the Seahawks) beating the Green Bay Packers.

If the NBA had replacement refs then Bron Bron's crab dribble would be legal and he'd pass Kareem as the all-time scoring leader this coming season.

That's funny. We say the same thing about listening to a permanently concussed Hall of Famer turned analyst every Sunday.

We would've been more shocked if RGIII replaced "speechless" with "sockless."

Not even Allstate could protect you from these refs.

Yeah, he reached the T.O. level of struggle with that grimace.

Tell us nicknames like "He Hate Me" on jerseys wouldn't make the league three times more enjoyable.

Alright, Nostradamus. Because you were the only one who could see refs who haven't even called D-I games fucking up in the NFL?

They're probably on the phone trying to get Ed Hochuli and the gang back. The rich don't play around when it comes to potential money lost.

With the shit that's gone down thus far hearing this from them wouldn't be that surprising.

In the replacement refs defense, they really don't know what they're doing out there.
