Twitter's reaction to the Seattle-Green Bay game
When Russell Wilson threw a last-second touchdown (?) pass to Golden Tate to win the game for Seattle, Twitter exploded. Mostly into awesomeness.
There were too many hilarious and bitter tweets to count. But here are 15 of the best that I saw.
We need shirtless Tebow to break the tie by the contrasting officials.

The solution here is simple. 2 words: Monkey Refs. Same bad calls, hilarity continues to ensue, no one can stay mad at a monkey. #winwinwin

In Green Bay we sometimes felt we didn't get same treatment from league due to not having an owner. They're probably feeling that now.

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

How many employees do you think the NFL has working right now to get every video of final play scrubbed off YouTube?

Our strength coach just summed up last night perfectly. "You know we're in trouble when the end of MNF is more preposterous than WWE RAW."

Ironic that our league punishes those based on conduct detrimental. Whose CONDUCT is DETRIMENTAL now?
