I could tell that this game was not going to end well, so I TIVO'd it for DrO to watch in the morning, but I stayed up to see the end and also the after game show and the interviews.
I liked Aaron Rogers' interview best. No nonsense and straight forward.
He came right out and said everything that had to be said.
Green Bay was robbed and this crap has no place in the NFL.
I don't care which team we root for. Players work too hard to have rightful wins stripped and unrighteous flags thrown and enforced by incompetent refs. The NFL is a multi Billion dollar mega business with too damn many commercials which already ruin the tempo of the games, and yet they won't pay the refs?
Everyone else from players, agents, announcers to owners and media talking heads are greedy. Why not the refs?

This bad call was very high profile but there were others that went against Seattle and helped GB. Who knows how the game would have gone if everything was called properly? All the games I saw this weekend had bad calls and bad no calls in them. As much as I griped about the NFL refs last season, the NFL needs to get the regular refs back ASAP. If they do not, I can see a franchise player getting injured because these replacement refs cannot control the games. I wonder how happy the sports books are with this situation?

These guys referee these games as a hobby in their own time. They all have other jobs, some quite lucrative. I say Goodell break the union, tell these jokers to take a hike!

We watched some of the game last night, but were too tired to watch much of it. When I awoke this morning, I heard the news from my husband as soon as I came downstairs. I couldn't believe it!
Excellent post, onyx.
