Rodgers with a concussion in OT

[mraynrand]

In isolation, one or two of those calls might have changed the outcome of the game, but they weren't isolated. They were connected to the Bishop no-call PI, the Woodson no-call PI, the inexplicable hook on Crosby's last field goal attempt that doinked off the upright, Driver's drops, Lee's fumble, Finley's injury, 4th and goal, play calling, Matthews' injury, Bulaga likely got away with a hold or three, etc.

Everything that happened changed the game. Most of it was the coaches' and players' performance, not the refs.

Sure, I get that. In any tight game, you can identify many, many 'game-changing' plays, but all that makes the refs calls less palatable, not more. In overall comparison, they are just one, two, or three plays out of many that went badly for the Pack.

There were a few times in that game I was looking around for the laundry that MUST be littering the field. If I could see it from the top of the stadium, certainly they should see it right in front of them.

The officiating was terrible but like someone said above it was terrible both ways so it might have been the most fair game we've seen called so far this year.

I don't know about that if you look at what was missed. Two pass interference calls in the end zone and attempting to behead your quarterback (not to mention the block in the back on one of their returns) are a little different than missing holding calls (and one PI on the sidelines).

...a hold against the RT on Matthews in the end zone that should have been a safety...

That one was horrendous. But the Tackle kept his hands and arms inside Matthews frame. He just had a great hold of the edge of his shoulder pads and it was one move or motion from being too obvious not to call.

Mr. Bedard earns his paycheck this week, even if this is proven to be wrong. Nice pick up.

While this is an interesting observation, I believe Rodgers had 5-8 passes dropped after the sneak. I think it was actually 8 if I remember after the sneak correctly. I think that had more of an effect on the poor play after that drive.

the bottom line is that Mathews has a weakness at that is his hamstring, at some point you have to wonder if he wrecked it in college and didn't allow proper recovery time and has caused a career long injury.

Yes, there are multiple possible explanations, including Finley and second half adjustments. But his struggles did start in the 2nd Quarter, not just after the half.

I think the whole team including McCarthy had a concussion after the sneak.

anything on his concussion today? how bad? headaches? tests? whatnot?

No news today. They be waiting until tomorrow to test.

At least one member of the Packers spoke up:

Flynn on Rodgers - "It was an illegal hit. It should have been called."

[packerbacker1234]

Last i heard, Rodgers is "doubtful" for the next game, but wont be ruled out completely as he'll try and complete more tests later in the week. Flynn will be running the #1 offense all week.

We will find out if the NFL agrees. The Packers undoubtedly sent film in if they believe helmets collided and the defender will get fined. Doesn't help the result, but at least the issue will be decided.
