WORST CALL EVER!!

[Scott K]

I guess Packer fans are the only ones that have a clue

I never said it was the RIGHT call, I just said since it was called that way on the field, there wasnt enough evidence to over turn it. If it was called an interception, Seattle would have been whining, and it wouldnt have been reversed either.

[DTro]

The fact of the matter is that it COULD NOT have been overturned on review. When watching the play in full speed I have no doubt that the best ref of all time could have had a hard time with that particular call. Sure anyone can call it when view still shots frame by frame.

Fans have become spoiled.

oh and lets not forget that a NFL veteran official has gone on record saying that during a hail mary jump ball basically anything goes, so the odds are VERY high that wouldn't have been called with the regular guys either.

And others have said that while ticky tacky bumping into calls would not be called this was to evident to ignore.

It's called KARMA Packer fans...deal with it and move on.

PLEASE.

PLEASE.

We can't, remember? We live in the past.

Packer fans have more to worried about than a blown call. Their offensive production is even Steven with the Cleveland Browns.

Not according to the statement issued by the NFL.

[Spike76]

In Green Bay, the regular refs make just as many bad calls, but in the packers favor.

Ok yeah I just reread that, I was wrong. I guess in the end zone that is reviewable.

[BEEFEATER]

I realize were talking pigskin here but there was a way more contraversial outcome in the most recent Manny pacquio boxing match. Hardly got the media attention but hurt the mans career big time.

[Spike76]

If Seattle would have lost on a call like that, I wonder if we would still be reading about it? Way too many games have been won by bad calls in G.B.

[McGurk]

Hilarious!

I doubt it, GB fans are just a bunch of Whiners when a call doesnt go their way. For an example the 49'ers got 2 extra time outs, and got to challenge 2 plays, without a time out. Hardly made the news, and that wasnt even controversial. But the Packers get a call, that at full speed, could go either way, and the review officials couldnt see a reason to over turn it. But that goes viral

[LMITOUT]

Troll.

[Scott K]

LOL

[Scott K]

You do realize most of my posts have just been references to what you have said in the past about the Vikings, when the same things have happened to them. But now that it happened to your team, it is a big deal!

[LMITOUT]

My team?

And lets be honest, nothing of this magnitude has happened to the whiney Vikings. This was a blown call that the entire country believes was a bad call.

End of story.

[Scott K]

It happens, it isnt the end of the world though, and is by far not the "Worst call ever"

[96trigger]

Wow, the entire country, really?

This type of thinking is why packer fans are despised by fans in Illinoise, Minnesota, and Michigan.

[LMITOUT]

Haven't heard anyone say otherwise.

[Scott M]

I think most of us love how agitated this makes LMITOUT...he's very concerned about the national ramifications of a blown call, right guys? It has nothing to do with being a Packers supporter at best or Vikings gadfly at worst...LOL!

In the words of Mike Tice "Okay, calm down."

[DTro]

[Fish Head]

Actually, I wasn't that surprised that one of refs called it a TD. Tate had both hands on the ball. There were many calls worse than that during the game.

They almost never call pass interference on those jump ball hail marys.

What the packers should be concerned with, is there are only 3 teams in the NFC with fewer points than them, and 3 teams with fewer TD's than them!

That's classic... their 3 division rivals. MN is hated equally by Green Bay, Chicago and Detroit...

Chicago is hated equally by Green Bay, Minnesota and Detroit and so on and so - on...

Now if you were to throw Iowa in there! ha

Good Luck!

Deal with it

[LABS4ME]

I good with it... haven't got worked up at all about this. I find it comical that some have. I think the blown calls went both ways. I think McCarthy lost the game with his poor play calling in the 1st half and his 3 worse than pathetic run plays he called on their last possession... there was no way he could burn the clock on three plays and they needed a first down or the Chickens were going to have to go 40 some odd yards with a inute left... very do-able

Packers have no one to blame but themselves. They never should have let themselves get in the position where one desperation play or one blown call was going to let the game slip away.

Good Luck!

I think that's where you are wrong. Minnesota's biggest rival is Green Bay, Chicago's biggest rival is Green Bay. There isn't nearly the anticipation of the Bears vs. Vikes game as there is a Packers vs. Bears, or Packers vs. Vikes Game. Personally, I will cheer for Detroit and Chicago if they get to the Superbowl. I will never, ever, root for the Pack. I think there are more people that think like this than delusional Packer fans will ever admit.

Respect them, sure, they are a good organization, but I wouldn't be caught dead cheering for them.

[LABS4ME]

I grew up in Chicago... trust me they despise the Packers but only slightly more than Detroit or Minnesota. Not enough to split hairs over.

My Chicago cousins HATE the Vikings... and make sure I hear it... but then again, they now think that I am a Vikings fan. HA

Good Luck!

I never have, never will like the Packers. But they are a solid organization, and I was impressed they had the class to send 11 players back onto the field for that field goal 10 minutes after the game ended.

With that said, I agree with many of the sentiments posted here. They've been playing bad football this year, every team gets screwed by calls that don't go their way at one time or another, and if they would have executed better during the game they wouldn't have put themselves in a position to loose the game in the first place.

I know I slept like a baby Monday night and woke up happy on Tuesday morning.

ya, when 80 percent of the red flag replays get overturned it does show that we need the real refs back. according to the news, the real refs may be back this weekend with an aggreement near. we will see. i expect complaints against the real refs also as usual. good luck.
