3-2 vs 1-4 after tomorrow night.I'll take it....After all the crap Packer fans have been giving Vikings fans this year...

So you knew they would be 7 starters down after 5 weeks and maybe 8 considering Rodgers concussion?It's the Amazing Kreskin!No wine...more like, my preseason Packer analysis was honest and spot on. It's looking like these shades weren't so purple after all.Considering the crap Viking fans have been spewing all year and AE in this thread...you whine is laughable....After all the crap Packer fans have been giving Vikings fans this year...
Still at the end of the day, here's hoping the injuries are not too serious, and I wish those guys a speedy recovery because week 7 is right around the corner. I can't wait.

The refs sucked again today.Did they cost the Packers the game? Hell no. But they sucked. How is it a penalty on every other team for even looking at a QB wrong, yet when they crush Rodgers and hit him helmet to helmet it's never called?This week he freaking got a concussion on a helmet to helmet hit and no call.Pathetic.
the officiating was pretty bad.....for both teams.

I only saw the 4th Qrtr, but I believe it.
Because Rodgers is a ##### and even the refs are out to get him. Need a tissue?

I'm glad the Redskins won today but I also hope that Finley, Lee, Rodgers, and Matthews recover quickly.
Isn't there a half a dozen penalties you can cry about or something?

There is no face guarding rule I don't think.Nice buzz word...but without actual contact...its not going to get called.

Footballguy
Um, yeah, there is.

Care to find face guarding in the NFL rules?Its a myth...people thought it was a rule...but if a player does not make contact, they will not call him for interference.Had the receiver run back to the ball on that and created a good bit of contact, there likely would have been a call.It didn't happen.

Thats just the first link I could find.I have read about this before too.

Did you catch the 2 pass interference infractions against Woodson that weren't called?
Flash
Footballguy
Not in the NFL anymore. As long as there is no contact made, face-guarding is legal.

Footballguy
Except they weren't PI.happy to help

Ball in the air and approaching the receiver. Woodson approaching the receiver. Woodson hits receiver before ball arrives.OK, what were they then?

Footballguy
It's called football.You're one of those guys that wants every single penalty called against the team you're playing but nothing on your team.go away

Regardless.It’s a second-and-seven play on the Patriots 19-yard line. Peyton Manning sets up behind center, checks the coverage and calls for the snap. He takes a three step drop and fires the football into the end zone, aimed for wideout Reggie Wayne, who’s given Ellis Hobbs the slip and is streaking down the sideline for a touchdown catch.
But Hobbs stays with the Colts No. 2 receiver. He closes on Wayne, chopping his feet to avoid bumping into the wideout, a sure penalty since his back is to the passer. Wayne’s eyes widen, indicating the ball is on its way. Free from contact, Hobbs jumps up but doesn’t turn to look for the football, which strikes Hobbs’ left biceps from behind and falls to the turf dead.
Penalty flags fly, and referee Bill Carollo turns on his mic to let everyone know that the penalty’s on the “Defense. Automatic first down. The ball will be placed at the 1-yard line.” Manning hits former Patriot Dan Klecko for a 1-yard touchdown pass.
Looks like they will call it sometimes and it did exist at one time.

You've got me wrong. I'm just bringing up the flip side to all the complaining from Packer fans about penalties that weren't called. It works both ways. Non-calls aren't the reason for the outcome of the game.

Refs where terrible in that game, but thought they equaled out. Im also a huge UofM fan and love watching Chuck, but he is able to play db like he did when he 1st entered the league, he hand checks all over the field

Fatness, now you are learning how Packers fans think. This is how I can grow up in Wisconsin and become a Bears fan. The blind homers that only see things one way and continue to complain about calls over and over again.

I don't think anyone is saying the calls are what lost the game for the Packers.

If I was a packer fan, I would be a little disappointed that the packers don't trade to upgrade the rb position. It's a down year in the nfc and with a little running game, I think the pack can get to the superbowl. I know Jackson had a good week vs Washington, but I not sure if he is the guy. I know all the injuries the packers have, but to keep asking Rogers to carry the load is to much, I mean teams will just go after Rogers every game. I think the coaching is questionable for the packers, but I guess T T is going to keep building with draft picks, which could work out.
Shanny has done a nice job with the skins, they could make and go deep in the playoffs.

I'm stating facts...look at this thread. This game has been finished for almost 2 days now, yet yall are discussing calls back and forth. It's like this every week.Real classy there...

Footballguy
You are not stating facts, you are stating your very biased opinion.
We are discussing calls.
Should we not discuss a missed helmet to helmet shot that may knock our QB out of the next game?
Nobody is blaming the refs for the loss.
Perhaps you need to read the thread if you think they are.
Instead, you stoop down to try and take shots at Packer fans and just call others blind homers (funny given how much of a homer you are for your own team too).
And if you can't discuss the game without taking shots at the fans, perhaps you should just stay out of the thread.

Stating "facts" about all Packer fans based on the crazy comments of like 2-3 people in the Shark Pool. Too funny.BTW - I can't believe that you grew up in WI and became a Bears fan. That says more about you than it does about Packer fans.benson_will_lead_the_way

This is complaining about calls....

Complaining about injuries...

Bolded the important part for you.Yes, the guy complained about missing a call that may put our QB out for next week.
I think he has a legit beef there.
and what about his statement is making us "blind homers"?

And your point?Ok, I guess as fans of a team we should be happy our QB got concussed and we are missing that many starters.Awesome.Im sure nobody could ever find a Bear fan complaining.Heck, you and Dr are in a Packer thread, complaining about Packer fans.Seriously...grow up man.

Excuses...I think Washington is doing pretty good against the Packers second string.

Grow up...does that put me in my place on a message board. If you have already forgotten, my point of blind homers was b/c I have and currently do live in a state which Packers fans are homers. I have literally sat and watched a game where they complained if the call didn't go the Packers way, even if it was obvious it wouldn't....they would cheer on injuries of the other team...etc. This is why I am biased....but living in the state gives me a different perspective that you don't have Sho Nuff in Tennessee. In the end, you are in this thread as well...so trying to place blame on me is very contradicting. Bad calls are made....injuries happen. But it is week 6...move on.

Nothing you quoted was an example of a "blind homer".And you calling other fans homers is hilarious...look in the mirror.Ahh...going for where I live right?Yet another thing you have no clue about.I grew up 30 minutes from Lambeau. My family all lives there still. I try to get back for a game every other year or so. I have a pretty good idea about what is going on up there most of the time.Now...enough of this BS back and forth crap. If you can't discuss a topic without just going after an entire fan base with your biased opinion, you probably need to just stay out of Packer threads.And no, the grow up was not to put you in your place...it was advice, because you are acting like a child.Im in this thread as well? Yes...Im in a PACKER thread. Imagine that, as I am a Packer fan.Bad calls are made and injuries do happen...I don't think it makes anyone a blind homer to discuss them.

This line of reasoning may have been relevant two or three weeks ago. With the current rash of injures R.B. is not nearly their chief concern.

@ the cheese brains calling out someone for being a homer. So 'Skins fans are supposedly ignoring a non-existent penalty, faceguarding, making them homers, but "it's called football" when Saint Woodson makes contact before the ball arrives. Rube.Similar threads
