I can definitely see how it was called, even though it shouldn't of been. Dumb on Blandino to try to say 'even if there was replay it would still be a foul'. That's crap.

I also agree Rodgers sold that by turning his head with it.

What sucks is that the refs have stolen two victories from Detroit. It was the one in Seattle which started the snowball, and just when they were pulling out of it, another one comes along. It would suck to be a Lions fan. The Lions have some quality players, but human beings can be broken, and the refs played a part in breaking them twice this year. They were the straw that broke the camel's back. Otherwise they easily might be in playoff contention. 6-6 without the calls, and without the snowball effect they could be better then that.

On the flip side, since the other screwjob happened against Seattle, this 2nd Detroit screw job, at least gave the Packers back positioning when considering one of those two freebie wins Seattle has this year. Of course against everyone else for playoff positioning Seattle still has two more wins then they should have, but only one when compared against GB. GB right now is helping keep Seattle down and in the end maybe out of the playoffs. So if there was any justice, this screw job hurt Seattle. Yea!

Amazing throw by Rodgers, and amazingly bad hail mary coverage by Detroit. Don't know why the guy doesn't simply tackle Rodgers... that was a crazy play and he was out of gas. Just tackle him.

That is a penalty in today's NFL. His facemask was turned pretty violently. Even if he let it go right away, that is still a penalty.



Simply put, stay away from the head.


I think this got confused... Bucky and I are taking about the hit on Palmer last week in SF... Dial didn't go for Palmer's head. Palmer lowered his own head that caused the momentary TAP of helmet coming together...

The game never should have ended with Green bay having the ball in the first place. A couple of plays before that Rodgers threw a ball short that should have been intercepted however the GB wide receiver grabbed the defender who had position around the waist and began to pull him down before the ball even got there. It was the play where the Detroit defender turned and had position and some were questioning if it should have been PI on Detroit. It should have been PI on GB.

So did Detroit hold the lead for 60:00 and lose? That is awesome.
