Oh, I neglected to ask how this is in any way related to politics. People can still care about more than one thing, right? Or should I quit liking puppies because I also care about the National Deficit?

So, just curious, everyone on here, including myself, are far more hardworking than the protesters. Everyone using terrible grammer and spelling are way smarter than all Packer fans. There’s nothing to do in Green Bay, except whine, oh and get fat. Have I covered all the bases? Good. The Packer fans are protesting something they feel strongly about, very much like most of you are bashing a team and fan base on an internet site, which you obviously feel very strongly about. Please, explain to me the difference. If you really believe that the Packers have been given every call in games, I’m sorry to disagree with you, but that just isn’t true. Just like every team, the Packers have both benefited and suffered at the hands of the officials. If you had a problem with a call that didn’t go your way, and you really cared about your team, why weren’t you protesting? Were you to busy looking at a football web-site at work?

Maybe the Packers fans should protest their offensive line for giving up 8 sacks in the first half and getting shut out. If they had scored on even ONE of those drives, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.

Kinda like the Cryking fans who have been crying for the last 3 going on 4years about their game in the 2009 NFC champ..perhaps y all shouldn’tve turned the ball over 5 count em 5 times.

After the 2009 NFCCG — in which the refs made 5 or 6 horrendous calls that allowed the Saints to eke-out a victory over the Vikings —you mean when the vikes turned over the ball 5 times?

If we hadn’t won the Super Bowl last year, I’d have zero sympathy for them. But I feel for them, especially after the 2002 Wild Card game ended on similar incompetence.

After the 2009 NFCCG — in which the refs made 5 or 6 horrendous calls that allowed the Saints to eke-out a victory over the Vikings — Packers fans chided Vikings fans with comments like “you lost; suck it up”, “don’t whine about the refs”, “bad calls happen” etc.. Shoe, meet other foot.

This should put to bed once and for all the claim by Packer fans that there is more to do in Green Bay than support the local football team. These fans need to realize that standing outside Lambeau in protest will not do a thing. It just makes you and your city look sad.

The Packers had what, 5 drives in the first half that ended with punts ?

If they had done their job the call by the officials would have been meaningless. The officials didn’t cost the Packers the game, the Packers did by playing poorly
==================================

Doesn’t matter how the packers offence played, they were winning 12-7, and SHOULD’VE won, 12-7

Where were the protests by Packer fans when Cobb was gifted a return TD with the aid of 2 blocks in the back against SF? Where were the protests when AJ Hawk punched Gabe Carimi and Carimi pushed him back with Hawk “flying” 10 yards as a drama queen or a 12 men on the field with the 12th man clearly off the field that extended a packer scoring drive agains the Bears?

These few examples illustrate the the hypocrisy of Packer fans. Just because it happens on the last play does not mean that the final outcome isn’t influenced by bad calls at other times of the game. It is finally happening to the packers, so no sympathy here.

Hey bucsfan5000, enough with the Drew Brees needs an explanation comments. It’s old and stupid. Turns out the NFL DOESN’t have an explanation for Bountygate. And at least Brees had the cajones to speak up about the officiating both before AND after the MNF game. And his team is playing the Packers this week. He could just be laughing at them and saying things like oh shut up and accept the NFL’s decision, you know the same advice the Saints were given.

As a Packer fan I have to say go home guys and get over it. It happened. It sucks but it happened. The only way anything is going to get done with the referee situation is if America collectively chooses to not watch football and that’s not gonna happen.

The refs are clearly throwing games all around the league and this isn’t the first one. The media is completely ignoring other calls that have changed the outcome of games over the past 3 weeks. A perfect example of that is 2 touchdowns that the officials robbed the Saints of in a game where they lost by 3 points. And I find it very coincidental that there are 2 teams in the NFL that have a player who was involved in the ALLEGED “bounty program” the Browns and the Saints, and both those teams are the only 0-3 teams in the NFL. Very interesting. I am not a Saints or Browns fan, but I do not trust the NFL and I think something very fishy is going on here to say the least. Idk if the NFL is changing the outcome of games to create more parody in the league or what, but there have been way too many controversial calls in EVERY game around the league that have swung momentum or kept drives alive or in this case blatantly changed the outcome. Somethings going on and the media won’t go anywhere near it. Maybe now they will, but like I said, this is not the first bogus outcome of the year.

This was not the only blown call in this game. Just look back at the Packers last scoring drive. The Packers O-line was strangling Seahawk pass rushers on multiple critical plays. Don’t forget the phantom pass interference against the Seahawks. I’m not a fan of either team, but I was angry before the final play.

What about Green Bays lead changing drive when Chancellor got called for a imaginary pass interference? If the refs don’t call that then Crosby kicks a 50 + yarder and Seattle kicks a game winner at the end, instead of the catch, & win 10 to 9. About time Seattle ended on top of the NFL’s BS apology garbage! *XL#

Seriously, when was the last time a pass interference penalty was called on a Hail Mary play? Doesn’t happen….they could throw the every time if they wanted to. Doesn’t matter how blatant it is or not…like how you can’t be *a little bit preggers*.

The person with the final say ruled the call stands and nothing is ever going to change that.

It sucks but these calls happen every now and then(being a Lion’s fan, I just consider it like the cost of doing business)

This only proves my point that the perversion of the nfl culture in this country has exceeded beyond obsession. It’s just downright pathetic.

At the end of the season, the fans will be happy they lost this game because it means a higher draft pick.

What a bunch of whiny babies. Not the first team to be impacted, not the last. Even “real” officials have made horrendously bad calls awarding a game to the wrong team. Lambeau. 2010. Vikings vs Packers.

Sorry….but if the regular refs would have made the same call against a non media darling team (like the bucs, bengals, lions, ect.) Mike P would be on the airwaves right now quoting the rule book (page 345, section 7, paragraph 3, line 4) and qualifying how the refs actually got it correct despite what your lying eyes tell you.

But since a call actually went against the pack for a change and they’re the replacment officials……The entire state of Wisconsin goes into mourning/protest and we’re getting mob together to attack the replacments.

I believe the wrong call was made but it was a lot closer that most are claiming and I’ve seen way worse at the end of games by the normal guys…..only they claim they haven’t made a mistake since 1946.

You think they would be more upset about the government robbing us of our liberties and spending trillions of dollars in our names bringing us into a debt that we will never be able to pay off.

Union-busting Wisconsin governor Scott Walker wants a better product; he demands wealthy owners play union refs what they are worth.

First off,i am a seahawk fan and i say that GB play intercepted the ball.Second,he should of knocked it down game over we are not having this conversation,and last Green Bay and Seattle both played horribly on offense.Green Bay has the better QB and WR’s and should of beat Seattle hands down.If everyone watched that game,there were a lot of bad calls called on both teams not just the last play,but i agree these refs got it totally wrong last night.Goodell and the owners got to get their heads out of their ass and bring back the real refs!!!

You’re kidding right? The Pack should just tuck their tails and go home. A good team would have throttled them so badly that McCarthy should be run out of town. Go ahead and blame the Refs. But you guys stunk up the place. Super Bowl Favorites??? You are kidding!!!!!
