Childress rails against officiating

[bobblehead]

Is this guy clueless....leave that to the fans. MM gets shafted all the time and has refused to comment on it since his first season. Worse chilly claims and official apologized to him for missing a call....talk about throwing the guy under the bus.

I agree we got away with a lot of holding, but he must not have noticed his own tackle facemasking Claymaker about 10 times before he got caught. Tonight the officials didn't call holding...both ways, I can live with that.

They also didn't call much of anything. Not to belabor the point, but Frank Walker got away with a play that cost us points AND a turnover.

To top it off the officials gave minnesota 3 TD's that were over ruled, so if anything they were getting the benefit of the doubt. I criticize the officials plenty and they sucked again last night, but thankfully they sucked equally. Not like chicago where tugging on Peppers jersey is a hold, but clotheslining clay wasn't.

I know people are ragging on Chilly for his press conf last night. But I am glad he is finally showing some emotion. I'm tired of the niceties that most coaches do on most occasions. Not that I think Chilly should do it all the time, but once in awhile I think it's good. And I think this shows he isn't all about coddling BF either. Now he'll probably get fined for ripping the refs, but this team needs some kind of spark/something to get it going in the right direction and it needs it now. Or the season will be lost and they'll finally be in position to draft a franchise QB.

Maybe it will provide a spark, but his complaining about the referees sounds like an excuse rather than anything motivational.

Well considering how much he blamed Favre, I don't think he was using the refs as an excuse for the loss.

[red]

so he's thrown favre under the bus and now blamed the refs for the lost

when does he blame himself for sucking as a coach.

honestly i think its a toss up between him and M3 as to which one is stupider or has less control over his players. i think they both suck as coaches.

at least our coach is too dumb to blame anyone, even if it is completely clean when we got screwed

Red, since Chilly didn't have a replay of the Quarless TD what about last nights game would you blame on Chilly?

this may backfire on him(i hope so) there has been reported a riff between chilly and favre. now chilly pubicly calls him out. favre might have lost all respect for him and try harder to play outside the system. a reckless favre = increased picks = happy packer fans

same thing i blame m3 for. this year neither one has control of their qb's. both favre and rodgers this year are doing more things on their own and both are failing compared to last year

he bent over and brought in moss for favre and moss clearly isn't giving him his all. many times last night he gave up on plays, one led to a pick 6. on the last play he didn't even try and jump for the ball. and favre was locked into moss the whole play even though there was some white guy wide open in the other side of the endzone jumping up and down and waiving his arms. head coach needs to pull his qb's head out of his ass from time to time.

why in the world was AP on the bench in the second half? this kid is a killer and should have been in towards the end of the game. yet chilly never called his number.

in the first half they had all kinds of plays for harvin, and he was killing us. in the second half we saw very little of that

then chilly starts blaming everyone but himself

[3irty1]

I didn't feel that the officiating was "equal." The Quarless TD wasn't the worst of it for them. I thought that one of those called back TD's should have been PA on Peprah putting the Vikes at the 1. That said it wasn't so lopsided that the Vikings didn't have plenty of chances to win. Favre lost the game for them. With our depleted DL, and the subsequent success they had running the ball I'd say Tarvaris Jackson wins that game for them.

AP was on the bench because he can't pass block. He got one last night but they were in passing mode and he sucks at blitz pickup.

I think the Packers got some calls in their favor (the Randy Moss offensive pass itnerference is the best example), but on the whole I'm not feeling sympathy for Childress. There were non-calls that went the other way (see thread above), plus the Pack has gotten ska-rood a few times this year themselves.

So from what I am reading Favre may have to sit next week? The great streak will be over? Where's the outpouring of emotion and sadness? People don't seem to be talking much about this potentia development. But maybe folks are waiting to see what develops this week.

Hmm. Interesting times, these.

Catching Childress's postgame presser, the thing that confused me the most was the rage that Childress had about that facemask penalty on Loadholt. He was upset that they hadn't been calling anything all night (as concerns holding) and then the 15 yard penalty happened.

Yes, it's true that the refs weren't calling holding very tightly, but that Loadholt facemask on Matthews was one of those offenses that you can't not call, no matter how generous you've been with respect to holding beforehand. Stuff like that has a potential to seriously injure people, and it's against the rules... so you have to call it.

I understand most of the complaints about McCarthy, but I think he has control over the players. There have been some public issues (Woodson on signings/roster, Rodgers on offensive identity) but each seems to have been put back into line.

And he has asked Rodgers to take more risks.

The one thing that stands out is penalties and until this year, they seemed to be doing it according to his wishes. Combative penalties were not singled out.

That might be viewpoint. From the sideline camera, it didn't look egregious to me and I was somewhat surprised and relieved they called it. But from the endzone (reverse direction but same angle as the Umpire who called it) you could clearly see Matthews head get ripped around.

Maybe Chilly saw some of his D line get hung up, but I saw nothing else as obvious on pass blocking from either side.

[And he has asked Rodgers to take more risks.

I wish he wouldn't have asked him to do it on 3rd and short. 3rd and 2 and he throws a 90 yard pass. ugh! get the first then take a risk on 1st or 2nd down!
