I saw the replay this morning and must say that was a bad call....GB had it for sure....but its not all on the replacement refs....the replay ref is not part of the on field ref debacle of negotiations going on between them and the league. The replay refs are the same guys as always....and they confirmed the call on the field.

That was one of many bad calls, on both sides of the ball I might add. If this was an instance of a single game with bad calls, it would be one thing, but as Ray said, this is happening week after week, in multiple games.

The integrity of the game is going to s**t because of the bush league officiating, and better get fixed; quick!
 
There was a laundry list of bad call all throughout the game. Nothing like the pic of the two refs in the end zone making a call on the same play, and having diametrically opposed calls. The doofus who made the touchdown call could not even see the ball!:mad2:

Oh well, at least I will be at Lambeau to see the Packers take out some of their frustration on the hapless Saints! :beer:

Let us hope so, Bob (will all due respect to Barry, hope they kick azz on the 'Aints...).
 
WOW!

What a fiasco!
I feel for Rex, Bob and all the Packers fans.....you got robbed!

As I'm watching the play, I'm thinking.....

1: Offensive pass interference!

No flag, well.....doesn't matter.....

2: The Packers intercepted the ball!

Two confused Refs with different calls....

3: The 'Touchback' Ref will talk to, and over rule the 'Touchdown' Ref....

The Refs conclude Touchdown....WTF!?!? .....

4: They'll get this corrected with the replay review....

Ruled a Touchdown by Seattle!!!.....

WTF!?!?!

BTW: The Ravens-Patriots game was an MMA match with no rules along with LOTS of bad calls & no calls.
I'm just glad the the lame Refs called it in our favor....:o

packers should have protected their QB a little more in the first half. also jennings should have knocked the ball down instead of trying to intercept. the call is suspect but should have never come down to one call.
 
The fault lies with Roger Goodall. He is the "Boss" and should have seen this comming. IF he was running a big company in the USA he would be looking for work now:mad:
 
I concur! The Pack should not have been in the position they were in at the end. I was thinking Rogers should have just run out of the back of the endzone, take the safety, and then the Pack would be able to punt the ball deep into Seahawks territory. Since the Seahawks had zero time outs, the Pack stood a much better chance to protect what would have been a razor thin lead. I am not quite sure what is going on with them this year...:confused:

Having thought about this for a while, yes it was a bad call by horrendous refs. Bad calls are nothing new to the league, but they are certainly more frequent now.
Good teams will overcome bad officiating. If the Packers O-line played better and didn't have ARod running for his life, they would have scored more. If Jennings had knocked it down instead of going for the interception it would have mattered. Had they converted on the two point conversion it would have been fine.

I don't blame the replay officials, they are in an impossible situation. Once it is ruled on the field a touchdown (Which is bull) they need irrefutable evidence to overturn, which given the scrum, they didn't have. On the flipside, if it was ruled incomplete, it would have never been reviewed because you can't challenge that late in the game, and it was at that point no longer a scoring play.

Now with all that having been said, in this instance the ref's did cost the Packers a victory, and ultimately it may cost them a playoff appearence which will also cost the team money.

We can't fully blame Goodell for this, it's the owners locking them out. I wonder if the Packers had 1 owner who potentially lost millions if they don't make the playoffs, would the owners stance change?

What if this happened to Kraft, or Jones, would they then get a deal done?

Well there are over 117,000 of us that own a share of the Packers, and I, for one, have been PO'd about the lockout since pre-season. We're talking about the integity of the game here, numerous instances of piss-poor officiating so far this season across the league; and Mr Kraft, A.H. Jones, and the other "single owners" need to get serious about negotiating and settling this crap!

True dat!!! this really is unacceptable, its almost like watching a Three Stooges episode:depress:
 
As a Hawks fan all I can say is I sure thought we had just lost the game. I couldn't even believe the call. :shake:
 
im a huge raven fan and the refs called many bad calls and lost a game for us against the eagles and week 3 versus patriots was a fighting match and MANY bad call and no calls

after 3 weeks enough is enough pay the real refs
 
The owners don't care .... no matter how bad the refs are, they know that the fans will still turn on the TV to watch and will still pay big bucks to go to the game. Until they start feeling the pain in their wallet, there is little motivation for the owners to settle this quickly. In this case, the fans ARE their own worst enemy. JMHO. I suspect that the substitute ref fiasco may have even "boosted" the ratings as more people tune in to watch the circus. ;) Just look at the media. They are having a field day airing the miscues on the field.

If you want this to end ... turn off the game for the next 2 weeks, tear up your tickets for the game and just don't show up with your cash. No beer and snack purchases to support the game either.

Ahhhhh.....But the owners DO care.

If Green Bay (or any other NFL team) misses the playoffs by 1 game.....it will be a huge loss in revenues to the owner(s) because of that one bad call.
