I'm guessing you have nothing to say about any of those except, they were "techically" the right call when they went your way, and a good "non call" when they went the other way? HA
What a joke.
I thought the Lions got away with alot of PI tonight, but not like at Lambeau earlier in the year.

Yea the no call on Abbredaris pissed me off as well. :wink:

I've seen that happen to Rodgers with no call as well, sucks too considering a pull of the facemask should always be called.

Video of the play here: http://national.suntimes.com/national-s ... on-rodgers

I can see how people think it looks like a finger is in the mask. I still don't see it. He hits the mask at first but then pulls down on the shoulder pad.

That's obviously what happened.

I have no credibility? I haven't seen anyone from anywhere besides this board complain about that call, because it was by rule the right call, do you dispute this?

Exactly my point. But our Troll Jordy say it WAS a facemask and GB was due one. Being the Chosen people ofc. At least according to the NFL and Refs.

Im fairly sure yanking a facemask to one side qualifies as 'real'.

Yeah you can definitely pause the video and prove there was no finger in the facemask. Also, the media doesn't care about the facemask call because the media loves the Packers. I'm well aware of the bias as I'm a Vikings fan who grew up and lived in WI for 27 years.

Yea, the chosen one to be blessed with the fail mary. :wink:

It looks to me like he contacts the facemask and pulls it left, Rodgers did do a savvy job embellishing but I still see this as covered in the rulebook, thats it for me in this thread discussing this call, probably be wise of me.

I'm out. There is no point trying to discuss with someone who cannot be remotely objective.
