Well, I believe that was a horrible call. Even though the Seahawks are a division rival, I wanted them to win to prove to everyone how good the NFC West is this year. But alas this wasn't how I wanted them to win. Here's a great analysis video:

Now I get that simultaneous catch is a judgement call. Then it's just very poor judgement from these refs. After the review though, there should be no question. They see everything we see, and Jennings had control first. Even most of the Seattle fans (along with the rest of the fans) agree it was an interception:

I'm actually quite mad. I thought nothing could ruin this week's football for me from the way the Cardinals won yesterday. But I guess I was wrong.

EDIT: After reading on further, I found this:

The rulebook also states when a simultaneous catch is ruled, you can't review who made the catch. You can only review if it was complete or incomplete.
So the call on the field is a simultaneous catch and obviously the catch was complete. I have to admit that even at regular speed I saw the ball against Jennings' chest so I would have said that it was an interception. But now I will relent a little a say that it's a somewhat more tricky call...even though the official who ruled TD was basically right where. Also I understand now that the review can't overturn it.
