I agree with the rest of your post, but in response to this, he was making sure of what the end of the game was. Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand, was sulking past reporters and nearly slapping the video camera out of some guy's hand. Way to douche it up, wonder-boy.
(Disclaimer: I'm a diehard Seahawks fan): 1. The call on the final play was shit. Tate was hanging on like a spider monkey. 2. On GB's touchdown drive, Kam Chancellor was called for a BS pass interference call that allowed GB to finish their drive. 3. How many times in the second half did GB's OL get away with holding? Lots, they almost decapitated several Seahawks D Linemen. 4. The roughing the passer call on the Seahawks final drive was garbage. 5. The overall officiating was terrible for the whole game. Read that: THE.WHOLE.GAME. 6. Given the Jet's magical TD in '98 that didn't happen, and the fact that they had a SB stolen from them by the Shittsburgh Squealers by the holding that never was, fuck Green Bay, you got fucked, the Seahawks got fucked, everyone got fucked. The refs are fucked, the whole situation is fucked. Stop complaining, move on, and win next week. It's over. Jesus. You guys sound like a bunch of whiny ass Cowgirls fans.
I think all you did here was make the argument for the opposition. I'll respond in kind: 1. Yes, you're right. 2. One of many bad calls that not only were bad, but CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME. 3. Holding happens on every play buddy, that one is tough to get upset about. 4. See #2. 5. See #2. 6. The fact that the next most egregious call you could come up with that changed the outcome of the game was in '98 says something. It says that the replacement officials are having a more damning effect on football than the regular refs. So sure, Packers fans are going to be more upset than other fans because they got screwed over, but don't call names and try and act all high and mighty when it was your team that won. That being said, this is football, everyone does need to calm down and move on.
See Super Bow XL for the last time the Hawks got fucked by zebra's. Did you even watch the 2nd half? Green Bay's OL was fucking raping the Hawk's DL. Anyhow, I am going to take the advice of moving on. If the replacement ref's are still doing this job after this weekend, I am boycotting watching this until it gets unfucked.
Fuck right off. Are you seriously telling me you wouldn't be complaining if this happened the other way around? In Seattle's SB that call was not nearly as bad, and they probably would have lost that game anyway. Yes, the officiating for the whole game was terrible, but that call clearly cost them a win they should have had. Also, I could live with them getting wrong, but even after the review? That's just beyond awful. Really though, while that game broke the camel's back it's not just that one game. This shit has been going on for 3 weeks now, and they definitely aren't getting better. I mean fucking Christ, they tried to call an illegal block in the back on a team kicking off in the 49ers/vikings, not to mention handed out extra time outs. Yes, that call was the worst so far, but it barely scratches the surface of what a cluster fuck this season is becoming. So take that into consideration next time you start whining about the whiners. Anyway, after reading more about the reffing situation, I can somewhat sympathize with the NFL. The refs were already making an average of 150k a year on a part time job that isn't even year round. I want this shit resolved ASAP, but the NFL does have to draw the line somewhere.
Well it looks like they may be close...on the heels of Monday nights fiasco. Imagine that right? God I hope it's over and we can get back to football rather than making a mockery out of it.
Thank God the Pats only got screwed out of 1.5 games. (.5 because Arizona is a legit good team and we didn't execute against them. But like Kampf Trinker said, I have no idea what our record is supposed to be.)
It probably was more likely that someone on the NFLRA looked at Bob Kraft, Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder then said "That could be your team. How would you feel with these guys coaching a game to get you into the playoffs? How would you feel with these guys coaching a game during the playoffs? What? What? Yeah fucking thought so." After Jerry Jones passed out in rage thinking about it, he came to and killed everyone to get the job done.
GOD. How fucking great is that introduction song with Cee-Lo? Are the refs deciding this shit too? Talk about getting me pumped up to shoot the TV rather than watch it. Regardless of the mute button.
Except those two things are directly related, because when you destroy the integrity of the game, people have no reliable information to wager, because every game could go either way. It's bad for the fans and the gamblers, so I don't think you can isolate the cause like that.
I find it amusing how quick people were to bury Weeden. He just played his 4th game, and by the end of it, he looked pretty good. If Greg Little played football instead of hot potato, Weeden may have just knocked off a very good team on the road. The Browns didn't look terrible, as shocking as that is.
Weeden will be able to tell his grandchildren that he got thumped in the chest by Ray Lewis. In fact, I think theres a shot of him telling them on the sideline last night!
Yeah, except for the final throw (which never should have happened in the first place) Weeden looked great moving the Browns down the field on that final drive. A few caught passes here and there and it would have been much closer. For what he's working with, he's doing rather well.
EL OH EL. They're about to put up 50+ points. The Patriots started slow, then just put the hammer down. Too fucking excited about this running game now. Ridley and this Bolden guy is fucking greet. The Patriots D has like 3-4 INTs right now, re-incorporated Welker, Gronk got a TD, Lloyd made an appearance with a TD. Now if they keep this shit up, it'd be lovely. Holy fuck, just saw the 49ers blanked the Jets. Also the Titans are a bad team. The Vikings may not be as bad as we thought or the Lions are worse than we thought. The Texans are scary are hell. The Rams may not be that bad either.
