+1 here from a Skins fan. I can't believe what I just saw. Maybe a knee-jerk reaction here, but that was the worst call I've ever seen in my life....EVER.
And to see Pete Carol jumping around and Tate standing on the bench yelling @ the crowd as if they won he game...it's making me sick to my stomach...
Brother Skins fan ... me too ... the only thing worse than these replacement refs is possibly our coaching staff of Dumb and dumber using our superstar rookie QB as a tackling dummy.
As for this TRAVESTY on Monday Night football .... it's clear that these Billionaire Buffoon owners need a little encouragement to do the right thing, since protecting the integrity of the games isn't incentive enough ... apparently.
Anyone with the slightest knowledge of football understands how badly the Packers got robbed on an horrendous job of officiating .... first, the big SHOVE ... right there, offensive pass interference, and game over. Then a clear interception by Jennings, and a TD is called? Worst call I've ever seen ... closest competitor the "tuck rule play".
What I hate .... all of the NFL talking heads debating the intricacies of that play ... as if there is room for debate. What I love .... Jon Gruden ... who minced no words ... played no politically correct word games and said the whole thing stunk, and left a bad taste in his mouth. That guy is the real deal. A student and professor and lover of the game.
I love integrity ... and I would love for Snyder to fire the Shanahan & Son, and hire Gruden. Then we might have a chance to get back to those old glory years.
Over and out .... Redskin fan residing in Cowboy country.
And to see Pete Carol jumping around and Tate standing on the bench yelling @ the crowd as if they won he game...it's making me sick to my stomach...
Carroll left a mess behind him at USC. I have no respect for him -- at all, and his behavior tonight proved he has no class whatsoever.
The replacement refs are an absolute disgrace to the game of professional football. If something isn't done to end this comedy of errors by these so called refs then anyone who attends another game is just enabling this charade to go on.
why did the reciever try to catch the ball when in that play your taught to bat the ball away?
It doesn't matter. He caught the ball. Calls that were made like yesterdays ruin the integrity of the game. Come NFC North championship time, if the Packers are snubbed that opportunity by 1 game, whoever wins will win with an asterix.
Don't want to hijack this thread but just for the sake of history..... THIS is a link to the WORST officiating in the history of organized sports. 1972 olympic basketball final - YouTube
What's the old saying, 'one play doesn't win or loose a game.' Not to rub salt into a wound, but this appears to be the case here as well..
The Packers played poorly, very poorly.. perhaps they should take a step back and try to improve their offense which cost them this game more than that final play did..
The offense has not been on spec this season, that is for sure. But in this case, one play DID lose them the game. To the point where I am thinking about boycotting the rest of the season, along with many other fans of the game. Stop being cheap, pay your ****ing refs. End the ref lockout.
