LOL. Check NFL.com. It's currently sporting this picture on the front page. The irony.



Thought it was pretty funny.

I agree that the refs didn't make us lose this game alone, as there are MANY factors that cause losses - HOWEVER when there are OFFICIAL NFL regulations not being upheld IT DOES CONTRIBUTE TO LOSSES!!!!!! EVERYBODY is bound to the same rules, and is to abide by them (which means the refs need to do their job and enforce them!) They claim to be so serious about head injuries; well if thats true they NEED TO F***ing flag those guys!!!!!!!!!!

I have been watching this crap all season, and I am getting tired of it. I want to know who is paying these refs to get these ludacris calls!

I thought bad calls on both sides, I didn't think that was a horse collar on the first one, etc.

If our defense stops them ONE time, we win, if they hit on that deep pass to Jennings, we win, etc. We did not lose because of the refs.

Adam Schefter: One final tweet on end-of-game controversy -- there was no penalty because, by rule, roughing the passer cannot be called on a fumble.

Mrs. S. is totally incensed by the officiating in this game, and can't stop talking about it. The one thing that stuck out for me was how blows to the head were apparently not offenses today. For a league that is now claiming to take head injuries seriously, having that kind of call not made is a really bad PR move.

I don't blame the officiating for the loss, but I do think that the officiating sucked in some dangerous ways.

Well said ! + 1

I'm more upset about the missed flags in the context of protecting Rodgers and Driver, more than in the context of them costing us the game.

You know, after thinking about it, I am going to partially blame the loss on the refs.

I don't want to play 'the bigger man'. In a close game like this, every bad call can screw you over.

Everyone is talking about that 'one stop' and 'good play'.

That one stop is an OPI and Holding on one play. That'll put them back 10 yards and make it a 2nd(?) and goal on the 18. It's hard to score from there.

Instead they get a TD.

That one good play in OT is a 1st down because of a facemask and/or roughing the passer penalty.

And then again.

That gets you a first down instead of a fumble that loses us the game. And that first down would've given us a good chance at the win, as they obviously couldn't stop us.

Like PFWT said, if you're going to complain about this, you sound like a bad loser and whiner, but I really don't care. It's true, right?

I wonder what kind of excuses the head zebra will find for this, yet again. I'll be watching official review this week.

I get sick of hearing people say that bad calls don't make teams lose. If I had a dime every time a bad call has killed a drive, or even taken points off the board (which can lose a game) I would be rich! These calls ruin perfectly executed plays, and that is WRONG!

BAD CALLS DID TAKE A HUGE PART IN THIS LOSS! Nobody can convince me otherwise!

Another tweet by Schefter.



And I don't get this. Because we didn't execute on the play before, the officials are allowed to miss calls? What kind of BS is that? How is it ok for them to miss obvious calls because our defense couldn't stop their offense and vice versa. Or because Rodgers missed an open Jennings.
