Refs fork the Packers in first NFL hose job of season

[Machine Choice]

Mark it down, Sept 13 2009

PHANTOM illegal contact call against Packers in 4Q on 4th down keeps Bears on the field and allows them to get a FG.

Changes the whole game and most importantly the cover. Ref hose job 100% GUARANTEED to grease someone's palm.

Why can't refs be FINED for game-changing idiocy?

OMG!!!!!!!

Can it be? AND the 2-point conversion. If this holds up, gambling gods LOVE US!

I'm with you--that call sucked--they ref's need to be held accountable--I had $2200 on the Pack ML and almost lost it because of those asses--I had visions of the Steelers/Chargers game last year when the took a TD away from Pittsburgh at the end of the game and cost me the cover and a $1000.00. We got lucky in the end.

the game really was poorly officiated. The 3rd and 1 was a bad spot, should have been 3rd and 3 after Rodgers' slide (side note: Chris Collinsworth actually suggested that A-Rodge shouldn't have slid and saved himself and the packers season from harm, but instead jump into a charging lance briggs and attempt to pick up a first down while simultaneously losing his helmet, and head. ) But yea, the game was poorly officiated.

Total phantom illegal contact call. And yet, the Packers still covered.

Packers covering was all luck, the Bears should've covered. I admit I got lucky with the Packers covering. Some quick notes Forte 0 recptions, Cutler needs to learn how to involve Forte more. I was not impressed with the Packers tonight. Their offensive line looked awful, 4 Sacks total 2 by Ogunleye.

Now you see why denver traded cutler, because he can't perform very consistently. Like john madden said at halftime, green bay has a very good qb playing for them in the first half, and that was jay cutler.
