Refs giving GB the game
typical NFL fashion, the refs are helping Green Bay.
The officiating in this game is game was seriously one sided.
From ejecting a guy for a punch he never threw to not calling a PI in the end zone on a pass to Graham not 6' away from a ref...
F**k the Pack... If we want to beat them, we'll have to do so in dominating fashion, otherwise they'll get the benefit of enough close calls (or not close...).
Makes the game unwatchable. NFL really needs to end the ref bias, like when the replacement refs were in. Everyone got screwed... even the packers. Troy even said that Pete Carrol will be on the phone to the head office while on the plane. Buck slobbering all over the pack is difficult enough to listen too.... but when the refs blow the pack... I mean blow so many calls.... it's just too obvious.
Not surprised. That's why I refuse to watch it. Fuck the Packers and the refs.

Kinda makes life as a Vikings fan even more difficult to swallow. We are perennially snake bit, and Pack is perennially blessed.
Wow that was tough to watch knowing how the calls fall for us. I really hate the Seahawks but I don't want anybody to get screwed like that....except the Pack and we all know that ain't gonna happen.
By the way, how many of you were secretly cheering once again for Blair walsh?

They just have to go in there and dominate on their turf, and that will stop. Isn't it about time to be so good, the refs are out of the equation? Viking domination is needed. We haven't seen that for awhile. They are a gifted defensive team. I hope they play with some aggressive attitude. They have potential to be the best.
@"jargomcfargo" said:The Vikings will not be allowed to dominate. Remember week 2 last year? Rodgers had like 50 yards passing the first half. Result: 3 PI calls on the Vikings in the third quarter, bang/bang/bang. The message was clear: we'll keep flagging you until you back off and let the Packers score. And that was at USB.

As long as MN isn't hosting GB Packer fans for a SB? I'm good.
It's that kind of shit that will end up driving fans away. At least it's getting called out by the announcers now.
When Troy Aikman starts calling out the refs against the Packers is when you know shit just got real lol
I love that Pete Carroll asked Erin Andrews to get Troy & Joe's thoughts on it...
This is why I'm down on the NFL in general, not just the Vikings. If we're going to have football's version of professional wrestling then it's just a monumental waste of time and I know I can find something better to do on my Sundays than that.
If any Packers fan can get up this morning and say they won that game honestly they are delusional.
The league is going to make sure that certain favored teams with fan bases who spend lots o' money on them will be the teams who win, no matter what, and to hell with the rest of the league. Why watch football if you already know at the beginning of the season that you'll be seeing the Packers, Cowboys, Patriots, Seahawks (this was only 1 game that they had to sacrifice and the league will make sure the 12s get their playoff spot), Steelers, and Broncos all playing for the SB?
People talk about the refs being biased towards certain teams. It's not the refs. It's the league. The league employs the refs and the owners of the big market teams I mentioned above will make sure their team gets in the playoffs.
It was pretty sickening. I mean, I understand that it's usually the retaliation that gets flagged, but holy cow, can we get a review on plays that call for a player ejection?
As for the no call on the PI that would have put the Seahawks on the 1? No fucking excuse. Just a terrible no call, that for some reason the Pack get over and over in their favor.
Yeah, if the NFL is going to be that biased in the refereeing then there isn't much point in watching the games.
