The Way a Packers Forum Should Be
https://packers-huddle.com/phpBB/
Michelle Tofoya indicated to Rodgers that the penalties, called and uncalled, will be a major discussion point in sports media this week. Scott Van Pelt went in on the egregious no-call of the Davante hit. MLF (not unbiased, but professional) made a few salty comments about the calls in his post-game presser. Even Collinsworth, whose narratives didn't paint the picture, clearly agreed that Stokes' PI was a bad call, that Adams' helmet-to-helmet no-call was a bad call, that Jimmy G's fumble was a fumble, and that the PI calls we got on 3rd down weren't necessarily bad calls, just key to the game calls.
I honestly thought the refs were just awful in general. They affected the game way tooo much by what they did call, then missed the helmet to helmet call. I felt the PI call Lazard got in his favor early was weak, i felt the holding call they got after our hands to the face call was weak...I did feel they got all their favorable calls in the second half and late. That PI call against Stokes was a total joke. So ya, by the end the refs probably worked against us more..but overall i just thought they sucked for both sides in general. Late in the little jimmy threw a lateral to Deebo that went over his head and out of bounds, quickly called an incomplete pass. Im going to watch the replay on that today because Im pretty sure that was a lateral. Also, the call Lafleur challenge was certainly bobbled by the ground. Refs were awful through and through. So was Collinsworth.go pak go wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021 06:54I really struggled.
I really pride myself on being a centrist. Being one to stand back, view the information and see it without bias. From my perspective, the Packers got absolutely hosed last night from ref calls that really led to 14 points for the 49ers and a huge momentum swing to keep them in the game. On top of that you have various other roughing calls, tripping calls, the lost challenge that wasn't a catch etc.
There is really only one call I could remember that went our way that I wouldn't have thrown (the Davante Adams DPI call) but I am okay with it because Adams was Interfered just two plays earlier at the same spot in the field with no call.
And yet everyone who isn't a Packers fan I have talked to doesn't think the game was unfair at all. It is pissing me off honestly. Are fans just that dumb and completely believing what Chris Collinsworth and the "protect the shield cronies" said?
Like then I got responses back, "well the Vikings should have won week 1 on a poor fumble call" and I was like I KNOW. I TOLD YOU AT THE TIME I SAID THAT WAS NOT A FUMBLE. I agree that MN really should be 3-0 right now.
I just don't understand why sports fans are so willing to accept or not have caveats on things.
Or am I actually not centrist and completely viewed last night's game with Green colored glassess...
I mean they held the 49ers below 300 yards (298) and to 4.6 yards per play.go pak go wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021 07:24Man I'm really bummed about STs too. Because honestly they have played really well every game except one play that ended up making this one close.
I feel bad for the defense too because this should have been a 14 or 21 points allowed game but instead in the record books it will go down as again a bottom of the league performance.
This exactly.Drj820 wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021 07:25I honestly thought the refs were just awful in general. They affected the game way tooo much by what they did call, then missed the helmet to helmet call.

whoops, forgot they took Lance in the draft good I hate SF and wouldn't want Rodgers to go there, I didn't like Shanahan even before he made a run at Rodgers anyway, good coach but acts sooooo snooty, just my impression.
Agreed in a way where the refs can still do their thing, but Big Brother upstairs needs to be more active. When Jimmy G was guilty of intentional grounding before that half, there should have been a buzz in from upstairs to day "hold on, we need to look at this further". Half should have been over and GB would have gone into the half up 17-0.Yoop wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021 08:04the NFL should just go to electronic officiating, the refs are ruining this game, when the refs so obviously try and control the outcome as they appear to be doing the game resembles pro wrestling, the Packer games is mostly all I watch now the officials look bought and paid for
Savage whiffed big time on the 1 TD at the goal-line. But overall, I agree he was good.go pak go wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021 08:25I think another thing that hasn't gotten discussed enough is just how many missed opportunities our defense had at interceptions and how the 9ers scored or kept drives moving on amazing 3rd down plays and conversions.
I thought Savage was amazing last night. But the plays he was amazing often still ended up in 49ers winning the play.
Agreed. All things considered, I thought our defense held up pretty well. We shut the 49ers out in the first half (I consider so because we made a baller play to force an intentional grounding which ended the half), and in this league when teams are down, they generally score. The tackling seems much improved.go pak go wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021 08:25I think another thing that hasn't gotten discussed enough is just how many missed opportunities our defense had at interceptions and how the 9ers scored or kept drives moving on amazing 3rd down plays and conversions.
