Game 3: Packers @ 49ers - Sunday, September 26th 7:20pm

A football catch shouldn't be science. Ball hit the ground and he didn't have control of it. Incomplete...

[SomewhereInTime]

I hate the NFL. Why do I watch this absolute crap.

 

Yeah there's no doubt it's the worst officiated and has the worst set of rules between the three major levels of football (Pro, college, high school).

[SomewhereInTime]

That was sort of a dumb challenge. There wasn't all that much to gain.

 

It was like a 15 yard completion. And all scoring plays and turnovers are automatically reviewed. What bigger play should they wait for to challenge?

I thought it was the right call. Didn’t like the outcome obviously, but when it looked like it may have popped loose, it went right back toward the receiver’s chest. The call could have gone either way.

[SomewhereInTime]

It's just amazing how many scoring drives in this league are nothing more than officials putting points on the board.

[adambr2]

Defense is still not good.

Doesn't matter if he controlled it after. Ball hit the ground and moved. Same as if it bounced off the ground.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Going to need another TD drive. Can’t count on the defense to make a stop. (Might happen, but not the most likely result.)

[homer]

we are witnessing why going for it on 4th and goal was the right call

Probably one of much more significant yardage or one that isn't 2nd and 10 if ruled incomplete.

 

It was stupid.

But did it move enough to overturn the original call? I say no.

[nodakfan17]

Well, it all comes down to Rodgers once again.

 

No wonder he wants out of Green Bay (half joking).

[FVBrewerFan]

Defense is still not good.

 

No, but played very good in the 1st half. Gave up 0 points if the obvious grounding was called. Now we'll see if they're good enough at the end.

[yourout]

Clearly helmet to helmet.

[homer]

good lord these refs are horrible. how is that not a penalty?

[pacopete4]

These officials can suck a fat one.

[PinaMadness]

There's two weeks of no DA. All the PI calls and you're not going to call that? (targeting I mean)

[wOOgiE22]

What the heck!!! Screw these refs. That was as blatant of a targeting as there is!

[PinaMadness]

Some really bad officiating tonight.

[yourout]

49er have been flying in helmet first all night.

[yourout]

49er have been flying in helmet first all night.

[nodakfan17]

Walking off … Thank God.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Super dirty hit there. Totally believable that it wasn't called, unfortunately. These refs are apparently watching a different game.

[CheezWizHed]

But did it move enough to overturn the original call? I say no.

 

This is what I meant by it not being science. It isn't subjective about "moving enough". It hit the ground and moved = incomplete.

[FVBrewerFan]

So the penalty with the most emphasis in the league today, not called on an obvious one. In 2021, how do they not have a ref or two in the booth watching monitors and throwing a virtual flag.
