I'm a Bears fan. I will bleed blue and orange forever. Never again will I ever be so baffled at a Packers loss. They got it up the ass with no lube/protection, pardon the statement.

Golden Tate: get f***ed and stop talking forever, at least until your IQ equals your shoe size That's what's REALLY bothering me about this whole situation. The Seahawks are acting like asshats with ZERO integrity. At least acknowledge the FACT that it was a BAD call and you simply got f***ing lucky. Don't stand there and act like you put the effort in to win the game on that play. Don't act like you outplayed the defene. The refs handed you the game on a silver platter and EVERYBODY knows it. Instead of being classy about the situation, Golden Tate, when questioned about his blatant push-off, goes "I don't know what you're talking about" with a straight look on his face. Then, Pete Carrol says it was "a good call" in the post-game conference. Seattle, get f***ed. If that's the mentality you're gonna have, just go and f*** right off. Tate didn't even say he made the catch. Just said he "competed" for it. To be fair to him though, he did have clear and complete possession.....of MD Jennings body But hey, a no handed TD catch is pretty spectacular, you gotta say Carroll saying that their team is close to being 3-0 was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. Remember, in that week 1 game against Arizona, Seattle was given a 4th timeout on their final drive when they were trying to win it agaisnt the CArds. Then this

Welcome to the "screwed by the refs" club, Green Bay!
You know what? It may sound bad, but if two teams had to be screwed, I'm glad it's two of the NFL's most popular franchises in primetime in back to back nights. Now, it's not even a question that the replacement zebras are affecting the sport.

I'm a Bears fan. I will bleed blue and orange forever. Never again will I ever be so baffled at a Packers loss. They got it up the ass with no lube/protection, pardon the statement. As a fellow Bears fan myself, I agree with this a million times over. Besides, the same thing could happen to our team. No one deserves this incompetence. It's not even the big calls that are the most egregious, it's all the little things mentioned previously in this thread: bad penalty mark-offs, timeout and challenge confusion, etc. A bad call like this is just the cherry on top of a crap sundae. However, the NFL won't do a damn thing, yet. If anything, they are probably thinking this is a GOOD thing, and that fans will now HAVE to tune in week after week to America's greatest new soap opera type reality show: "How bad will they f*** it up THIS week!?". The only way the Union refs get back on is if a game with playoff implications -much less in the playoffs themselves- gets impacted like this, or a situation where a similar result to this game happens that goes AGAINST the home team occurs and riots start. Don't even get me started on what would happen if a player were to get severely injured or a brawl got MASSIVELY out of control were to happen on the replacement refs watch and it was directly as a result of their (in)actions. *gets off soapbox*

Has a commissioner ever done it, because if he has not............I could see why Roger would definately not start now as it could potentially open the floodgates. The problem is that if you don't use it when it should be used, why have it around in the first place?

Posting people's private phone numbers on a public forum like facebook or twitter is just classless, and people who call it are even worse. Yeah, the Packers got it like a prison snitch, but that's still pathetic.

I agree with Seth. You open the floodgates if you use it on bad calls, even obviously and extraordinarily bad ones that cost games. If you did it for that, you'd have to scrutinize every single call and see how, or if, it could have affected the outcome. And if you do it for this game, would the Saints demand their Sunday game to be overturned because they got jobbed out of a TD?
If the refs were betting on the games, then I could see it being used. But not for bad calls.

And to think this could have all been avoided if Jennings had BATTED IT DOWN like he was supposed to. Instead, he left Green Bay open to the possibility of this happening.
Surprised the entire community is in uproar over this, when in reality, it should really be the Packers and the rest of the NFC West. Bears, Lions and Vikings fans have to be partying right now.

Haven't posted in a few months, but I want to say something about last night but I can't sum it up easily. Even rival teams/fans and players know how messed up that was. That was worse than the 'no call' face mask penalty against the Cardinals a couple of years ago.
I imagine a lot of Packer fans feel sick, so do I.

As I said in the last thread I am done with the NFL until the replacements refs are gone. This is f***ing bullshit.

I'm a Bears fan, and while I enjoyed the Packers doing their best impersonation of Chicago's offensive line most of the game, they should have won the game.

And if you do it for this game, would the Saints demand their Sunday game to be overturned because they got jobbed out of a TD? If the refs were betting on the games, then I could see it being used. But not for bad calls. No. This is a very unique case. One call that was 100% clearly wrong that directly affected the outcome of the game. The right thing to do is to overturn this call, that is simply all there is to it.

Unless we learn that the officials has some bias or benefit to giving Seattle the win, it is not really grounds for a reversal of who won and who lost.

As a Lions fan, the only thing I'm glad about this is that people will forget about our own screw-up at the end of our game. I don't want to see any team lose a game like that, even a divisional foe. Especially because it could very well happen to us next week, no matter who the refs are. I don't think they overturn the call, because it opens up a whole can of worms, as much as I think they should. It's the same thing I felt during the Galarraga game a couple of years ago (and I'm still semi-bitter that they didn't).

It would be awesome if someone could edit a video of the Bret Hart meltdown at the end of Raw sometime in March '97 but with Aaron Rodgers head on it (kind of like the Miami Heat/NWO video) and replacing "Vince McMahon" or "WWE" with Roger Goodell and NFL.

I love how Pete Prisco of CBS Sports is telling people to quit talking about Golden Tate's push-off of Sam Shields, saying that it never gets called.
That is a lie. Saints at Giants 2001, 1st Giants home game after 9/11, Saints receiver Willie Jackson blatantly shoves down a Giants defender to catch a hail mary pass from Aaron Brooks for a TD. Offensive pass interference was called then.
Don't say that offensive pass interference is not called on hail mary passes because they are.
