Just witnessed one of the worst personal foul...targeting calls I've ever seen. Green Bay vs. Detroit. There was a discussion about this on The Dan Patrick Show today. Replay clearly showed it was a ridiculous call. The expert ref in the booth said no way. But they refused to overturn it. Do away with replay....period.
Games like tonight are the reason I can't completely discount the whole "NFL is fixed" theory.
The incomplete pass they tagged on Kerryon was borderline. I thought it was a catch, FD and fumble out of bounds to keep the drive alive. Replay said nope, but it was close either way.
The two completely bogus "hands to the face" penalties against Detroit, though? Garbage.
One came on 3rd and 10 with Detroit up 22-13 in the fourth, keeping an eventual touchdown drive going.
The second came on third down late in the game, allowing GB to run out the clock for a game-winning field goal.
Sandwiched between those two horseshit calls was a "we didn't see no interference" miss when a Packer DB mugged a Lions receiver.
I didn't really care either way who won, but watching the game determined by referees and gifted to Aaron Rogers is pretty disgusting.
