Total chaos with the Seattle - Packers game. Last play of the game, total fuck up by the referees to award that TD. Not sure what they're seeing.

It was bad enough that Heyward-Bey was hospitalised by the refs' inability to protect the player. But now it's cost the Packers the win. Absolutely fucking disgusting. The NFL have turned this season into a complete joke. Goodell has GOT TO GO!

The NFL have surely got to get a deal done this week. We can't have another week like that. The Patriots/Ravens game last night was ruined by the officials, missed some obvious calls on both teams.

Not to mention the 2 cock-ups in the Lions game. I mean, first of all...how the fuck do you make the same call but enforce different penalties? It was bad enough ruling "half the distance to the goal" for roughing the passer in the second half...but to then rule "15 yard penalty" and walk out 27 yards in OT...are you kidding?
And then there's the ref IN THE END ZONE not throwing a flag and ejecting Mundy for that hit on Heyward-Bey. Dumbfounded.

Just turned on ESPN. It's like someone has died. All they're talking about is that awful call.
The worst thing about it is the fact the video refs aren't replacement refs at all.

It wasn't the video ref upstairs. They went over to the booth to review it. So the call WAS made by the on-field officials.
I wonder if the Packers have any recourse to challenge the result...because that was atrocious and if it costs us a play-off spot that's just destroyed the integrity of this season entirely.

NFL.com wrote:The NFL and NFLRA are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement tonight on an eight-year collective bargaining agreement, subject to ratification by the NFLRA.
“Our officials will be back on the field starting tomorrow night,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “We appreciate the commitment of the NFLRA in working through the issues to reach this important agreement.”
“Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved taking this proposed CBA to the membership for a ratification vote,” said Scott Green, president of the NFLRA. “We are glad to be getting back on the field for this week’s games.”

I feel a bit sorry for the replacement refs, they were doing the best they could...but jesus, some of the calls they made were ridiculous.
I'll never complain about another ref this season :lol:

If you're not up to the job, you don't do it. That's why I'm not a nascar driver.

Some big matches this week.
The Houstons looking to replicate the niners obliteration of the Jets.
The Packers looking to back up from last week and get the monkey off their back.
The Steelers and Eagles, two teams with assorted problems looking to keep themselves in the play-off hunt.

Packers have the Colts at 3rd and 13, Nick Perry sacks Luck and his helmet bounces off Lucks' chest plate and into Luck's helmet. Refs call roughness, 15 yards first down. Are you kidding?
How the fuck is a defender meant to sack a QB these days?

On top of that a non-existant holding pen on Shields and reviewing a first down call after the Colts have called time out with 48 seconds on the clock, 3rd down on the 4 yard line. Fuck me, the refs did everything they could to make sure Colts won.

Chiefs fans cheering after Matt Cassel was knocked out during the game with Baltimore. Piss poor, don't expect it from Chiefs fans either. Eric Winston was pretty vocal with what he thought of them.

Matt Cassel has had a really poor season. Chiefs fans don't want him as their QB. They've got some talented young players both sides of the ball but finding out your QB is rubbish can be pretty tough - the fans aren't right to boo but I understand their frustration. I reckon they'll trade up to take a QB in the draft.

How are the Jets putting up a fight against the Texans? What is this?

Our running game is so inconsistent. Seattle have a good secondary, we really needed them to come through tonight to open up that avenue, but Brady had to try do it all himself.
Thank fuck Belichik has decided not to limit Welker's snaps now Hernandez is back. But he really needs to do something about these 4th quarter fadeouts. 3rd time this season we've let the other team back in when we should have slammed the door shut.
In other news, Rodgers has destroyed the Texans on SNF. 6 TD with 5 and a half minutes to go in the game.

The funniest thing is that I wasn't even number 1 pick :lol: 51.66 points coming my way and a 133 rating for Rodgers. That's the offence we know and love. Absolutely stonking performance by the Packers. I want to know where that's been all season! Randall Cobb has stepped up superbly in the slot the last couple of weeks. Brilliant to get 102 yards today, deserved a TD. And all without Benson and Raji. Delicious signs from Worthy. Meanwhile, this round has FUCKED my tips.

Worth noting that there were a few special teams cock-ups in there from the Chargers. But giving away a 24 point lead is disgusting.
What's going on in fantasy, guys? All the forumites are bottom half!

Interesting times in Pittsburgh with Roethlisburger calling out O-co Haley, labelling his play calling "Dink and dunk".
Vilma and Suggs both up and activated off PUP this morning.

For fucks sake. We HAVE to stop these fucking 4th quarter fadeouts. We were extremely lucky to win that one in OT.

But we need to start stepping on the throat of teams when we are up. we did it against the Bills, we should've done it against the Jets, Seahawks, Ravens and Cardinals. I don't think it's the end, Brady is still playing well, we still have lots of good offensive weapons. But our defense needs improvement. Big time.
