This afternoon on Mad Dog Radio on Sirius/XM the afternoon host (who probably did the onsite play by play last night at his alma mater's homecoming game) stunned me with a statement about Monday's game and the return of the real NFL officials. He said we should expect the returning refs to give advantages to the Packers for getting screwed and for them to also come down hard on Seattle because they got a win they didn't deserve. Unfortunately I was listening in the car and got to work at that time so I heard no comments about the topic. Anybody here have an opinion on this? I think he's wrong on a couple of accounts. While I believe "make up calls" exist in pro sports, especially basketball and baseball, I think they are much fewer and farther between in the NFL because the plays can be analyzed so much from so many angles. I also believe if there is a time for correcting outcomes on thr fly, the time for that is as soon as possible after a blown call. Finally, I can't imagine what the incentive would be for tha real refs to come to the aid of their scab counterparts and the league in instances where their own performance will be scrutinized.

The Seahawks have been punished for years. They are just now being rewarded.

Put that fishing pole away right now MISTER! You're going to put someone's eye with that thing.Enough is ENOUGH!!! http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/content/shame-the-angry-mob-golden-tates-touchdown-was-legit/17706/
Packers fans are just sad that Seattle is BETTER than the pack this year. I mean C'mon 8 sacks on Rodgers??? and for some reason no attention is payed to the faulty pass interferance call saving the packers from punting away on their scoring drive. Just get over yourselves already...

Yeah, I don't think this is gonna' happen. The real refs have no reason to and besides, they are way to professional for that.

I assume you are penciling them in at 14-2.

How many sacks in the 2nd half? And let's not pretend the Seattle offense was tearing it up in either - they were pretty much non-existent the whole game until the end when refs gift wrapped the win for the Seahawks.And the Packers pretty much were in control in the 2nd half after they made adjustments at half time.

Your language skills are impressive.
your arguments are all based upon grammar and schooling, and not about what we are posting?

Yeah...umm...who brought it up?
No, usually make up calls happen shortly after. I was assuming this week. I don't think they will need it against the Saints.I assume you are penciling them in at 14-2.

Hey #### you. This wasn't a packer fan that brought this up.

Other than not being able to score without help they were dominating with 6 whole points!

Did I say "dominating" or did I say in "control"? There is a difference. I think you need to go back and re-read what I posted and stop inserting phantom statements I neither made nor implied.

Sorry, they were pretty much in control to the tune of two stalled drives turned into FGs and were stalled yet again until the stripes gift wrapped them a first down. Better?

Two FG and a TD, that is. And it was still better than what the Seahawks managed to muster until the game was given to them by the refs. Packers adjusted at half time and the Seahawks weren't able to do in the 2nd half what they did in the 1st. So a marvelous 1st half by the Seattle D with 8 sacks but....only 7 points all game - and that's because in the 2nd half GB adjusted.Again, "in control".
You can play word parsing games all you want, but in the end you'd still be wrong. But we all know what your real game is here anyways - to get under everyone's skin.

Yes, look for this to happen. Next week, of course, the refs will reward the Saints who bore the brunt of the bad calls this week, and the Rams, who benefitted from the punishment being dealt out to Seattle, will find themselves being "punished". If you have the time and desire, I have no doubt you could follow this logic throughout the season and with a high degree of accuracy determine who will be rewarded the Super Bowl. Bring back the replacement refs. These regular guys are destroying the game!

The real refs didn't cause the MNF debacle. The replacement refs did. It's not their (real refs) mess to clean up or fix. I would suggest it would be their goal to make get every call right and return integrity to the game, not try to fix what they didn't break.

Sorry Maxine, you were the one that wanted to parse words because I didn't use the exact phrase you did. And no, at the time of the gift wrapped TD drive the Pack had only scored 6 points. As for your last sentence, well I may be a tool more than others but for someone like you to make that claim is utterly absurd. All you do is pop in to be argumentative and provide little support for your arguments that aren't based on you just being more blusterous, as if saying the same thing over and over and more obnoxiously makes you right.'MaxThreshold said:Two FG and a TD, that is.

The only mess to clean up is bad reffing. You don't do that by more bad reffing. You do that by letting the teams play the game and determine the outcome, not by influencing the game on purpose.

excellent contribution. So, you weren't the one that started parsing words? I guess BS means truth to you. And calling me a troll, from one of the biggest ones on the boards? Oh noes, I'm so hurt by it! The Pack was in so much control they scored a whole 6 points!!! Needed help to convert 3rd downs, but I guess bad calls are just part of their "control". But when the calls go against the Pack, they're just gifts from the refs.

Based on the Saints first TD today...I'll say no.

Based on the Packers second challenge...I'd say no.

Maybe the Pack shouldn't used up their kosmik karma by whining so much without acknowledging that they were recipients of bad calls that went their way too.

Based on the fumble by Sproles that was recovered by the Packers, ruled down by contact...I'd say no.
