Heads or tails? Geno Smith calling the coin toss in the Seahawks’ overtime win is the new Laurel or Yanny

The blue/gold dress. Laurel or Yanny. Brianstorm or green needle.

Those all pale in comparison to the new audio debate we’re all having on Tuesday morning.

On Monday night, in the eventual win over the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Geno Smith was called upon to call the overtime coin toss. He was standing right next to the referee, who asked him for a call.

What Smith said next? According to everyone (except for the referee, of course), it’s up for debate.

According to audio that I’ve listened to now about 157 times, it sure sounds like Smith called “tails.” Others at For The Win hear “heads,” which is what the official next to Smith heard.

Time for a good ol’ fashioned Internet debate:

Geno Smith clearly said "Heads" but if yall want to make another "blue dress/gold dress" thing then ☕️🐸 pic.twitter.com/qLb6acJtxT

You’re actually an idiot if you believe he called tails

Why?

If Geno Smith called tails and the ref who not only has a mic but is standing right next to him says he called heads then Geno would have reacted and tried to stop him to make sure he got the right call https://t.co/75yXWeD879

The genius of Geno Smith’s coin flip call is that it was so ambiguous – he may have said “Heads,” he may have said “Tails,” I think he said “Heils” – that there was no possible way he could lose. That is talent and ability you cannot teach. Hall of Fame skill.

Geno Smith called tails, ref said “you called heads”, Geno *calmly* waits for outcome of toss, steals “heads” win, jogs to sideline with his second straight W like the coin toss god he is. https://t.co/7uXST05Ta1

I hear “tails.” But listen to the clear audio that TMZ has. It sounds a lot more like “heads.” It didn’t end up mattering … but what if it did?

I don't care what Geno Smith called – heads, tails or middles. Each team had like 10 possessions each in OT. #SEAvsSF
