replacement refs

[az_max]

The Replacement Refs have got to go! That was one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen! The packers had the game stolen by Ref #26.

Before today's game there were 5 head coaches that were probably going to be called into the NFL offices because of what they said about the refs. Well, you can add number six. Mike McCarthy is not going to be pleasant in the press.

That was crazy. All I could do was laugh and I was pulling for GB!

Double stupid.
1) Bad call on posession.
2) Cannot change possession in review.

VERY SAD. If football were played like golf, Tate would have said Jennings had the ball and the Ref was wrong and Seattle could not take the win.

What a clusterfuck. The only thing funnier is watching hundreds of thousands of people with foam cheese on their heads absolutely freaking out.

I was listening to the game on the local radio broadcast (I know, how antiquated). On the last play the announcer was screaming like a little girl with her hair on fire after drinking 3 Red Bulls and spiders crawling up her arm.

....screaming like a little girl with her hair on fire after drinking 3 Red Bulls and spiders crawling up her arm.

That's what cracks me up about some sports fans. I try not to get that worked up about anything (with limited success), least of all a bunch of millionaires playing catch.

I thought the striking ref's were in bed with the odds makers. The replacement ref's still make the game interesting to watch or listen to. Maybe for different reasons.

Tell that to the Packers. Rogers got his ass kicked and defense sucked first half, he was sacked 8 times.

First GP should have had an interception, but a a roughing the passer was called despite defense unable to stop momentum and it also being a pussy hit, because he was being pretty fair. Then there was something else, can't remember, but I am pretty sure it was a gift 1st down. Then finally the worst call in NFL history.

All the hardwork of the Packers down the tubes and a gloating seahawk. It's really shameful, IMO.

Defensive pass interference (it was clear from the replay both players were watching the ball, and the receiver had his hands on the defenders shoulders)

Roughing the passer for tackling the QB seconds after he got rid of the ball. (should have been an Interception. Beautiful catch too.)

I'm sure there were others.

 

[bri]

That was the one. I couldn't remember the bogus D pass interference... that was 32 yards if memory recalls.

Seahawks D did look rather killer the 1st half though.

There were others, but they did not make nearly the impact of the last ones.

Odds makers:

Something on the idea of over $150 Million lost on that one call...

Yeah andddd some of that money was mine

I wonder if the ref is in hiding. With that much money lost I would think guys name Rocko and Butch would be looking for him.

I only saw the last half of the game. I thought GB got beat by the refs. :ack:

I would think that after that the regular guys walked in and pulled out the original list of demands and the NFL bowed to every one.

At least they're back... starting tonight!
