Is Grabbing the Front Collar the Same as Illegal Hands to the Face?

[Ash Ketchum]

Well?

[PurpleFloyd]

That was a damn travesty. And bad enough they did it once to give the packers a TD but to do it twice when it was so obviously wrong is worth an investigation. Wrestling is more honest than this

[Tuck ya in]

It's terrible, the bad refereeing is an epidemic. I mostly only watch the Vikes. Games are unwatchable due to blown calls, and some like this one change outcomes! It's a fucking joke!

[Ash Ketchum]

Booger McFarland was about to murder the refs on air lol.

[D_H]

No

Refs handed GB a win

[focker]

That shit seriously reminded me of an NBA game. That's saying something.

[Tommy_Hawk]

I switched between MNF and the NLDS until the Nats ran away with it.

I saw both of these calls live, as well as the non-call PI on the Packers' DB. The end of the game pissed me off as a fan. Obviously it didn't matter who won, because the winner would lead the division. That being said, the Lions got boned. Fuck the Packers. Fuck the Refs. Fuck the NFL and their cheese-dick sport. It's a farce at this point. They can't help pissing on their own balls.

[Night Train]

No

Refs handed GB a win

... again. And they'll keep doing it too as long as Rodgers is there.

The irony, and it was very very subtle but it happened, is Bahktari actually put his hand on the De facemask briefly on that play.

The screaming that never ends here about GBay gets every call etc is of course nonsense by dummies. But man, last night was bad. The first one is bad enough, but the second one directly cost them the game. Pathetic.

The good news is, I think we can all feel better about Green Bay. They are nothing special. Not even close.

In the pool report interview, referee Clete Blakeman said "prolonged" and "forceful" contact to the "head or neck area" creates the illegal use of hands foul. Trey Flowers flagged twice for the infraction in the fourth quarter.

I agree with your last point.

Packers don’t look like a team that’s going to run away with the division.

But put the packers and the refs together and no one can stop them.

Booger McFarland was about to murder the refs on air lol.

That had to have been a career’s with of pent up frustration at offensive linemen spewing out of Booger when he saw what was happening. I’m sure he had flashbacks to his days as the rules continued to skew in favor of the offense year after year.


It’s got to be frustrating to be a defensive player in today’s nfl.

[JPM]

Sorry Booger you can't grab the inside of a guys shoulder pads and throat punch a guy for an unlimited amount of time.

but but but he grazed his Flower's facemask in a still picture

I got to be honest, Clark, the first thing I thought of right after those two plays was I envisioned your absolute giddiness after those two plays happened knowing that you were going to get to have some fun today, and I could not wait to see how you were going to play this one today. Good work fella, good work.

The first hands to the face happened on third down and extended the packers drive on which they scored a TD three plays later. It had as much, if not more, impact as any call of the game.

Lions got fucked sans lube, no two ways about it.

[Dude]

Last night was the perfect example of what pisses me off the most about today's refs.

They're not calling what they see. They're calling what they think they see. There is overwhelming video proof that Flowers did not get his hands up into Baktiari's face, so they could not have seen the penalty. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they might have seen Baktiari throw his head back which is what probably led to the calls, but they did not see the penalty for which they threw the flag as it clearly did not happen.

It really honestly doesn't bother me nearly as much when refs miss calls. They're not going to be perfect. However, they absolutely cannot call phantom penalties. To me, that's inexcusable.

NFL refs have always been pretty bad, but this year it's elevated to a whole 'nother level.

Legit calls by definition of the rule. You can't do that.

Get fucked!

Even the most delusional Packer fans have to admit they were gifted that win.

Amazing how Viking fans scrutinize EVERY call in a Packer game but Packer fans rarely do that in a Viking game.

They never will. For whatever reason, they think they are entitled to have wins gifted to them by the refs...
