Three calls that totally changed the complexion of the game. I think you're on to something there. For every bad call, a ref should be forced to donate part of his check to hurricane relief efforts.

Three calls that totally changed the complexion of the game. Do you think their game checks are within an order of magnitude of the amount the Packer backers are paying them? Seriously, those calls were so brutal the only explanation I can believe is that they are on the take. For the most part, these guys are smart enough to not get caught but those calls were pretty bold and blatant. Apparently, the 12th man isn't willing to cough up enough to compete with the Packer backers. We can relate. We also don't have so many well-to-do fans with nothing better to do with their spending cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Something just dawned on me.... The Green Bay Packers are owned by stockholders/fans. The league is run by its team owners. The league is who pays the refs. So essentially, the Packers and their fans do pay off the refs every week, which is why they get so many calls in their favor.

They do the same for Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, apparently it doesn't matter whether it's replacement refs or regular refs...if it's Seattle-Green Bay, it's a poorly officiated game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Now I'm glad that I was playing board games during that game that would have just made me shout at the TV, and I'll probably do that enough tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Bad call on the would be INT return on Lane and the block on Rodgers for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I can't decide if the Bears actually looked decent or if the Falcons offense had an off day. Are the Jags turning a corner? Lean on Fournette, play solid D and have Bortles manage the game the best he can worked yesterday. Curious to see how much the loss of Robinson impacts them. Colts are trash without Luck. Kizer showing some promise in Cleveland and they were without Garrett, could be an interesting team to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts are trash without Luck. Kizer showing some promise in Cleveland and they were without Garrett, could be an interesting team to watch. It's Week 1. I wouldn't say they've turned a corner, because, outside of a stellar defense, the Texans aren't all that talented or good on offense...and with the chaos surrounding the Houston area, I'm not all that surprised that they lost (even though I had predicted they'd win). Colts without Luck are the Packers without Rodgers...or the Colts without Peyton Manning...or the Browns. There is zero talent on that team without Luck...Grigson sapped that team of any talent (even though they were losing talent even under Polian) Browns will be more competitive under Hue, but they are still the Browns until proven otherwise.
