The refs

Are they fixing games?

Shure looks like it there is far to many games being decided by terrible calls.

It didn’t cost us anything we had Seattle.

Seriously though, that play stands out because it was the last play in the game. There were so many bad calls through out the game and the betting public just loves the Packers. Green Bay should never had been in that position if they wanted to win.

The officiating has been bad but so what, it is bad with the regular guys as well. There are some issues between the referees and ownership in this strike that I agree with and has to be done. Being able to fire or have bad refs sit out games for one no mater what their years in the unions … kind of sounds like the teachers union.

The games will go on and I will watch them and bet accordingly

Does that mean you would have lost if the Packers won by 5?

Watching the game last night showed me that even the "professional refs" can get calls wrong. What was stunning to me was how the commentators would only say it once that a call was bad or an interference call was missed and NOT show it on replay.

Kind of reminded me of the main stream media not talking about the real things that matter in this country!

Oh so true about the media.

How about all the political races all they do is call names ;not one is saying what he will do for us.

Now back to the packers i have never seen a defender get shoved to the ground and not get a interference call, i mean that guy went flying 5 yards it was no little bump it was two handed all out in your face,take a hike shove.

True, they missed the offensive PI call, but the regular Refs miss stuff like that all the time. And of course a missed penalty is not reveiwable. The fact it was the last play and did affect the outcome without a doubt, doesn’t make it worse than any other bad calls made. Is it really any different than a completed pass on 3rd and long that extended the winning drive, eventhough the receiver clearly trapped the ball (hypothetical)? Each and every play has the potential to be a game changer.

All I’m saying is even the "professionals" get it wrong sometimes. Just ask that kid who got robbed of his perfect game this year. As far as the public losing money, sorry I can’t agree with that statement. You pays your money, you takes your chances. But I will say, even us Seahawks fans think they blew the call. 😮
