I have lost all respect for him. He's a punk that can't own up to the fact he was owned for 4 quarters. He shot a gun after his first scamble and then got it taken to him.

Karma kicked his #### for that one, didn't it?

Too many people have kissed his ### the last few years and he has lost it.
The only thing he should be apologizing for, regarding last night's game, is his measly 10 fantasy points...wtf Aaron?

Lame.Translation: It's the refs fault we lost. Since there was a controversial play - I, as a spineless leader, would like to place the blame firmly...on someone other than me. GO AFTER THE REFS, SHEEP!!!!From a radio interview on ESPN 540 Milwaukee today:

He's just being honest. And saying the things Pete Carroll doens't have the guts or motivation to say. Disgraceful

Obviously he has more of an agenda than someone whose team DIDN'T just get screwed by the refs....but that said, I admire him for saying it. Between this and saying the call was "awful" in his press conference last night, he surely has a hefty fine coming his way.I don't see what's so

Chest thumping from a Seahawk fan after last night's entertainment.
Exactly...still waiting for the player/team that BENEFITED from poor officiating to say something...until then, it is just a nice excuse to whine. Seriously, if you are the "all-mighty" Packers, you don't need a last second play to determine your game's outcome against SEA.I don't see what's so

Being honest would be saying "I took sacks I didnt need to take, couldnt throw a TD, and got far too cocky after my first run"

Perhaps we should turn our outrage toward Golden Tate instead.
Reporter: "Did you push off?"
Tate: "I don't know what you're talking about."

FYP. I could see the Packer fans point of view - but this "apology" is way too far. It's unprofessional and classless. I used to respect Aaron Rodgers - I really hope this "quote" is a falsified fishing trip, or else he is really just a ####.

Your definition of admiration must be WAY different than most.

I don't know if anyone actually *tries* to do something illegal during the course of play even if it is. Right after the game he probably hadn't had the chance to see it yet (they didn't show it on the big screen at the stadium). It's entirely possible he didn't know he did that.Regardless, that was certainly, 100% OPI.Perhaps we should turn our outrage toward Golden Tate instead.Reporter: "Did you push off?"Tate: "I don't know what you're talking about."

You know, the real ref talked about this a bit after the game with Gruden and Tirico and he pointed out that the kind of push off that Tate did (which was clearly a push off but it was not like he decapitated the defender or anything) is often ignored in those situations, so that they will just let the play speak for itself. Honestly, I see your quote here and I think who is the idiot reporter asking the question? Clearly he pushed off as anyone who watched could see. But missed calls like that happen on many plays (i.e. OLine holding). Rodgers coming out and saying this is not something that I think is meaningful. If he had commented on a different game where the refs had a heavy impact on the result then I would take it seriously, but doing it about the game he was involved in just sounds like sour grapes, even if he is right.Perhaps we should turn our outrage toward Golden Tate instead.Reporter: "Did you push off?"Tate: "I don't know what you're talking about."
This. It'd be admirable if Wilson, Tate or Carroll came out and made a statement like this, but otherwise, it's complaining.Exactly...still waiting for the player/team that BENEFITED from poor officiating to say something...until then, it is just a nice excuse to whine.

Settle down, Sparky. It says "hope" - because I used to respect Aaron Rodgers as a person and a player. If he actually said that, then he's just a whiny, unprofessional jerk whose making sure that someone else takes the fall for the fact that his team played an awful game. At every level of every sport, it is said "Don't let the officials decide the game". If the Packers are up 21-7, it doesn't matter.
He knows who won the game, we all do.You admire him for playing like #### for 4 quarters, then blaming the replacement officials for the loss??

Yep - I am the only one that thinks that blaming the refs for your team's bad performance in a veiled "apology" is lame. Keep telling yourself that.Lisa must not have been paying very close attention or must have had a bad vantage point, cause the push was obvious. If she were just trying to get him to say he did it, she was clearly barking up the wrong tree (as are those hoping Carrol will come out and hand the win over to GB).

People still hate Carroll...LOL.... He's done a great job turning the hawks around.

Did you see the game?Yeah, right.
After the game, Carroll said this about the ref situation "It's time for it to be over. The league deserves it, everybody deserves it." I think that's pretty much all you can say in his situation. It's not his fault the ref called it the way they did. He can't refuse to get the victory and why would he? There were plenty of important calls that went the other way as well....just not the last play of the game which everyone is focusing on. I think Carroll and the Seahawks would have loved to have played this game with proper refs....it would have made a great game even better.This. It'd be admirable if Wilson, Tate or Carroll came out and made a statement like this, but otherwise, it's complaining.Exactly...still waiting for the player/team that BENEFITED from poor officiating to say something...until then, it is just a nice excuse to whine.

Seriously, hes gotten so many sympathy flags the passed 2 weeks because he tore into the refs after week 1. Im sure Jay Cutler was somewhere openly smiling last night.Aaron,Perhaps you could apply your sentiments towards your Oline who was beaten like a drum the entire fist half.
For what it's worth he also said something after the brutally reffed week 1 game like the refs are under a lot of scrutiny and the ones from this game deserve it. Yes that was after a loss but he also mentioned in that interview that everyone on their sideline saw the blatant block in the back on the Cobb punt return but the officials picked up the flag. So he was admitting that the Packers had some bad calls in their favor and just pointing out in general that their is no flow to the game with these officials.
And I totally agree that the Packers offense deserves a lot of blame in the loss for being up by less than a TD so that their waas an opportunity to lose on a fluke play. They had chances to put up more points and get a first down to run out the clock. The refs sucked and messad up plenty of calls both ways but the Packers had opportunities to make that irrelevant.
I can live with the last play as much as it sucked. The horrible roughing the passer call negating the INT and two terrible PI calls (Shields on 1st & 30 and the one on the Seahwaks on 3rd down that kept a Packer drive alive) that had a huge impact on the game were the bigger issues to me as those never should have been called. I don't think Rodgers frustration was even close to coming from just the last play alone but wa scertainly the boiling point. I don't know that he says this if the call is the other way but it would not have shocked me as he has been speaking out about the officiating since week 1 and it's nice to see somebody not just bite their lip but say what's on their mind.
