Yeah, McCarthy does not have a good challenge record, and he knows it. But, you never know. I wanted him to challenge it, but could see why he did not. The play was that close. He didn't have anything to lose though, and I do believe he should have given it a go. Would have changed the game completely, had the play been overturned.

We played to not lose. Well said.

The officiating in this game sucked donkey dong.

Exactly what I said. In a close game you have to challenge that. It could be the difference maker or it could blow a close game wide open. The worst that happens you lose a TO. McCarthy doesn't seem to like to use them when it matters anyway.

Although I must admit when we downed the punt at the 1 I thought maybe it was a good idea after all.

Great shot, even a second later when he just kind of turned and looked as if to say "where the hell is everybody"

Yeah, I saw several holds that the Packers got away with.

I know I'm a little late, and there's plenty more important things to talk about, but I was bored and wanted to add my own meaningless info as I read through the topic ...

Since 2008 (beginning of McCarthy/Rodgers era) here's how the Packers have done when their opponent has 2 weeks to prepare. (now 4-6)

He's 0-3 and gets outscored 108-27 with 2 weeks to prepare lol.

Now that is one hole that I think I can honestly say even I could have run through. Not likely that I would have gotten a TD (I can barely see that far much less run) but I think I could have gotten a first down at least.
