From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Like no. The refs and a stupid rule cost the Raiders a SB rune in 2001. The refs cost the Saints a SB shot in 2018. The refs cost the Packers a shot at the SB in 2020.
Let's call it what it is.
The really terrible call in our game that got me upset was not calling for DPI or at the very least D holding on that DB who mugged Lazard and was awarded a pick. If they don't get that turnover you just never know...
Should have been DPI giving us the ball at the 40 with 45 seconds left and a chance to make it realistically 13-14 with us getting the ball at half and momentum in our favor.
That was the biggest blunder by the referees in the game. I’m not sure how you can’t call that one and call the other. Blows my mind. That one missed call was the result of a maximum 14 point swing in our favor considering if we scored a TD and they don’t even get the opportunity.
That whole play really sucks. Tonyan was wide open on the other side of the G Logo and probably gets to the 45 at least in their territory. Or as you said, DPI and we have the ball at midfield with the clock stopped.
If you look at the game. Really a 3 play sequence did it with the Rodgers INT. The Brady bomb and the Jones fumble. I think it was like literally 3 plays out of what....9 plays?
Not to absolve the refs and blame the victims for their incompetence, but I do feel like our guys at WR need to "sell it" to the refs a lot better. Or try to sell at all. It did not help that Lazard and others acted like they totally were not interfered with by not even looking for a flag as if the DB just made a great play on the ball.
On the King flag, looked to me like they were not even going to throw it until the WR made a big stink. So working the ref is part of the game. The other team will do it, you also need to do it to balance things out.

True. But to be fair, the 3rd down play inside the 5 yardline and the other 3rd down play to Lazard in the 2nd half they did "sell it" and the refs didn't buy it.
If they don't get that turnover you just never know...
