I am usually not one to harp on this argument but it has become glaringly obvious that AT Lambeau Field, the refs go out of their way to assist the Packers. Its become so glaring obvious AT Lambeau Field that the Vikings have not had any recent close/questionable/game influencing call go their way there, right? Every team gets calls, including the vikes. Its not some conspiracy. Edited December 17, 2019 by Arthur Penske 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Right now I'm making a special rule for this thread: no talking about the refs before the game starts. Just too tedious and unproductive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took them a little while to figure out how to call the Rodgers rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don’t look past the Lions, the division is locked up. The Lions have a way of getting wins against the Packers. We had better not look past them. Even with Stafford on IR. I'll tell you this...I'm not looking forward to seeing your defense this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head Kendricks is one of the better cover linebackers in the NFL. Some very good Defensive Ends. Harrison Smith is still playing like he's 23 years old. The corners rotating in and out has made the defense better imo. Barr is dangerous playmaker. We have some nice interior depth on 3rd down with our pass rushers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which they had absolutely no reason to complain about, considering it was a clean hit. It just so happened that it was a clean hit that injured A-Rodg, who ridiculously whined about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team gets calls, including the vikes. Its not some conspiracy. I agree that without any stats to back it up, it is pointless to argue about flags. However, the Packers have been statistically the most fortunate team in the NFL over the past decade, as of week 12 ( I don't believe an extra 4 games changed it significantly), at least in terms of first downs received by penalty vs first downs given up via penalty. This of course doesn't differentiate home games vs road games, but it clearly shows the NFL's reffing tendencies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what I'm seeing is that over 9.7 years, the Packers have been gifted about 1 first down a year over the Vikings, and have a little under 3 a year against them on defense. That's not exactly game-changing is it? Obviously we can't tell how many are legit/bad calls and then missed calls but this chart is set up to look a lot worse visually than what it's actually saying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrynoid Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Well, subject to some valid form of statistical analysis, the graph looks nice, but really is inconclusive. Not that I want to be bored with statistics lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
