I agree but I appreciate the gift they gave us tonight
Give the real refs whatever it is they are asking for, this cannot continue...

I STARTED WITH NOTHING, AND I STILL HAVE MOST OF IT!
There were quite a few questionable calls, and no calls, in the first 55 minutes of the game, but that whole final sequence, starting with the bogus roughing the passer call that nullified the interception, was just bad.
I went into the game leaning towards wanting GB to win, but by the 6th or 7th sack of Rogers, I was rooting for the Seahawks to break the single game sack record.
I couldn't bare to watch after last weeks 3 1/2 hr catastrophe
Well, we are seeing what a bunch of thugs pro football players are. They are always trying to get away with holding calls, they are always putting cheap shots on people, and they want to start fights. Then throw in the hideous looking long-hairs out there, and it kind of looks like a prison league. Whoever said pro sports figures are not people for your children to immulate couldn't be more right IMHO.
Atleast you mericans got NFL What about all us poor canuks with no Hockey? This is gonna cause the crime rate to go up in canada its a serious problem!
These guys start in kindergarten and dedicate their whole lives to being good enough to make it in the NFL. Their skill level is truly amazing. Its a brutal game. Tempers flare, fights ensue. Thats why we love it. The vetted refs keep the game under control, these replacements are making the game a laughing stock. As far as the dredds, who cares? Its a phase, just like all the mullets they wore in the 70's. You have just as many pros that behave properly as you do morons that act like theyre in the hood
It's painful to watch. I think they reviewed 15 plays in the chiefs game and they got all of them wrong on the field. It seriously took 3 1/2 hours to play the regular time, not including the ot session.
Players do what they are paid to do...anything they can to win. Cheating or not, that's what they are supposed to do. Lance Armstrong, baseball steroid users, etc. As far as them being thugs, you can't change who you are and your upbringing. Most of them that was the only way they were going to get an education and break the cycle.

I have boycotted all pro sports for all of the above reasons for at least the last 10 yrs.
My beloved Packers were totally screwed last night. Granted, the game should not have been that close. However, Russell Wilson just became the first QB ever to throw a game winning interception in the end zone. What a bunch of BS! And how could the replay officials not see the pick on the replay? They're the original booth/replay officials, not the scabs that are on the field. They've been saying all along that once the terrible officiating results in a team losing to a horrible call that all he11 will break loose. Let's hope it does for the sake of the game! I bet those refs from last night don't get sent to Green Bay to do a game.

I give credit to the Green Bay coaching Staff and players. Given the situation, I think they overall handled themselves well after the game was over. I'm not sure I could have kept my emotions in control.
The longer this goes on, the better bargining position the real refs are in. Heck, after last nights game, I'd renegotiate and ask for even more.
Consider the impact the refs have on the game. How much are they making compared to players? They are clearly the best of the best and not easily replaceable in a short period of time. Look at last nights gave. Tate clearly knew he could get away with a shove in the back of the Green Bay defender (offensive pass interference) which put himself in position to tie up the ball that had been caught, pulled in and controlled to the ground by Jennings. I'm still struggling to understand how that is a catch by Tate. Maybe in slow mo, before Jennings kness touches, the ball starts ot come loose and become tied up.
I think the NFL needs to issue a statement clarifying hte ruling made by the replay officials. The play happened fast and I cna see the refs getting it wrong, but the replay guys? IT seems like they were afraid to overturn a call in favor of the home team and make the refs look even worse.
Of course in the case of LA, can you imagine replay officls combing throguh NFL games from 10, 15, 20 years ago and overturning calls? How about finidng out a player was doping and taking away all that teams victories for that season? You either catch guys with the test available at the time, or even with reserve samples later. But to convict someone only on testimony without physical evidence. Please.

"Now with the replay review called, the crew chief must make a decision based on his associates’ ruling and the video evidence, in consultation with the replay official (replay officials are not on lockout; these are the regular personnel)."

I don't know how much of an education they got. Most of them majored in Pre-NFL or Pre-NBA. When these players introduce themselves at the beginning of the game, they seem like they are hardly smart enough to write their own name on a piece of paper. Most of them are proud of how dumb they are.
Ed Hockule is your hero huh? Haha.
