Childress rails against officiating

[mmmdk]

Chilly: "50 drunks could've made that call".

I don't listen to brown baggers or sulky drinkers - ever.

NO TD, Vikings & drunks!

good point. Goes right to credibility of the witness.

The more fun the merrier, I guess Thanks!

I thought I heard somewhere that had the call on the field been "no TD", they wouldn't have overturned the call based on the replay either. Is the verdict that "it was definitely a catch" or that "there was not indisputable evidence to overturn"?

Doesn't matter to me, really. It's nice to see GB benefit from one of those calls. It seems like they've had their share of those go the other way.

You do realize the NFL admitted it's mistake on the Black Ice play.

You do realize that Chilly is talking about an alleged opinion of only one referee.

I'm gonna guess there were at least 70,000 drunks at the game on sunday that agreed with the officials!!

Officiating clearly favored us in the game, and I understand Chilly's frustrations with a fair game being called. How Shianco's TD was called for a booth review and Quarlesses was not is beyond me. That is straight up upstairs officiating, who se ethe same stuff we do, not making the call. Outside of the fact that the ref that is right there isn't even watching quarless, he is just staring at his feet after he has already hit his back as if they are going to change or something.


There were a few other calls. The one play where clay matthews throws his helemt off before the paly is over - that is also against the rules. I forget how much the penalty is for it, but I think it's a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. He didn't throw it anyone, but you're clearly not allowed to be taking your helmet off on purpose in the middle of a play.

I remember during the game saying several times how nice it was having the regs on our side, so I am sure there were some other more 'obvious" penalities that never got thrown that I smiled about. I think Peprah had a pretty obvious one too if I recall we got no flag for. Meanwhile, the vikings seemed to get flags and such for almost any thing they did in terms of impact situations. Packers, meanwhile, got the benefit of the doubt.

I even debated on that one sideline throw to nelson, where he stopped at 10 yards and AR threw it 30 down field, if that should of been intentional grounding. There was NO ONE in the area. No defender, and certainly not Nelson.

It wasn;t intentional, but it may fit in the rules of being a grounding penalty.


...

Matthews helmet was shoved halfway off by the offensive lineman: no penalty.

Jordy Nelson cut off a route, but was in the vicinity: no penalty.

You obviously didn't see the horrible spots for the Packers on third and short in the fourth quarter or that they called obviously non-TD's for MIN and made us waste our challenges to get them called correctly. The refs were terrible, but don't kid yourself: they didn't help us any either.

That is always debateable. Generally, linemen only get a penalty if it's a face mask. If it's open palmed, I believe it's legal. Remember, defense doesn't have those "can't touch the helmet" rules like the offense gets. Besides, the play I am talking out Matthews was by himself, used his own hands to toss his helmet off, and began running in persuit. It was very odd, and I saw no reason as to why he even did it. Still, he was willing taking his helmet off, bit different then it being forced off as a result of being blocked.

I wasn't saying that they should have called a penalty FOR CMIII, im saying his helmet got halfway torn off his head by the OL and he finished the job so he could see. There's no way a penalty should have been called on him. It was an acceptable no-call both directions. It's not like he ripped of his helmet to celebrate or bitch!!!

I'm watching NFL Live on ESPN and Ted Bruschi just laid into Chilly huge time for his comments after the game, especially about Bert.

The collective view of the panel is that Chilly is not Championship coaching material.

50 drunks at a bar could see that

Childress is a moron that should have been fired after the NFC Championship game last year. If he had a problem with the calls then maybe he should have challenged the calls he could have.

Great he came down on Favre, if that is what you want to call it, but it easy to do so when your QB is hobbled on a busted ankle and playing like crap.

It is obvious to everyone that has watched the Vikings that Favre's play needs to dramatically improve or this team is sunk.

The Vikings are a horribly unorganized football team. I blame Childress.

Favre didn't want to play this year, and instead of the team walking away they threw more money at him, and then sent down a bunch of players to appeal to Favre's loyality. I ain't saying Favre isn't to blame, if you are gonna play, be ready, show up in shape and ready to go.

Nutz, you know I love you, but your addiction to Favre really pisses me off. Yeah, he played great for GB, but man, you're a Packers fan so toe the fuckin' line!!!!

Dump this man love for the fucking traitor and come home. Your family needs you, wants you and loves you.

[Tony Oday]

Favre wanted the world to beg him to play and ride to the rescue...only problem is he is like Custer riding to the rescue...didnt work

Thompson is the traitor!!! Would you blame Thompson if he was fired and then took the job as the Bears GM? I would because I hate him and what he did to the Packers!!!!

Call me ridiculous, but that is what you sound like. Favre never said one bad word about the Packers, or their fans. He has always been more than respectful and positive about the Packers and his time in Green Bay.

If the Packers win it all under Thompson/Stubby will the glow of victory thaw your cold (to Thompson) heart?

If TT would retire, then unretire, retire, then unretire, then retire then, well you get the point and then forced himself on a team that was almost there but needed a GM then yeah he is a d bag traitor just like Favre...

Last time I checked, Ted and Mike were Packers. Funny how that works.
