Game Thread: Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers

[MISKO]

What a bullshit penalty. Are you kidding me? Stafford is a pussy.

that was the proper call ... its a rule

Doesn't make it not retarded. When they made that rule I'm sure plays like that were not on their mind.

 

[DutchBird]

So you think that penalty was warranted? I guess Detroit will take anything they can get.

Considering how they have called this pretty much all season, the call was warranted. They have called far less...

And nice of you to forget that the return TD for the Packers should not have stood anyway because of a blatant block in the back (which was not called).

 

[The Derski]

It's only a matter of time before they take tackling out of the game completely and turn this into flag football, possibly two hand touch (not to the face of course).

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

They need to have refs disgression on plays like that.

This. If not, we might as well get terminators to ref for us.

Stafford's wife has slapped him harder than that penalty.

That gets called all the time. I have a missed block in the back on the punt return, too, fwiw.

That probably would be an actual improvement... for one it would lead to consistency. For another, it might take the WTF were these idiots (NOT) looking at plays away. As well as refs from the other side of the field incorrectly overturning correct calls...

Not to mention the O-line has been holding all game too. Packers fans are not happy unless every single call is in their favor. It could be 10-1 in their favor on calls and they will still cry bloody murder on the 1.

It WAS Detroit that Flynn threw for 500 yards....

 

[whywork2]

I don't have faith in Flynn. The Packers offensive line and running game have to really step up.

 

[aar000n]

I do not like the rule but the refs called it right/

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

At the moment I have more faith in Flynn than Stafford.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Sit out, Rodgers. Be smart.

 

[Wazmankg]

Looks like he'll be back. He's limping though.

Disagree, that call is always called. You can't hit QB in head. Blame the Goodell and the pussification of the league if you don't like it. Rodgers has gotten same call this year

 

[MISKO]

they are nuts if they put rogers back in

 

[The Derski]

Huge face mask

 

[BrockForBroglio]

Missed a huge face mask by Bush

I hate that it's a penalty, but you have to call that roughing the passer. Contact to the head makes it a penalty period. When you start trying to interpret what contact warrants a penalty and what doesn't. then it makes it tougher on the refs and there is less consistency. Clear cut rules make for better enforcement.
