Great game to be in the SW corner of the stadium. Both Doubs and Watsons TDs were right in front of us. Same with Doubs drop in the 4th.

But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Why did Amari Rodgers return the freaking ball? My god. Get down idiot. Coaches fault for not saying so.Comment

MLF looked ticked off on the sideline. I think he may have been giving Bisaccia an earful.Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostI can't run no more

Some have compared it to Tommy Shelby of the BBC drama "Peaky Blinders." Haven't seen the show, so I have no idea.Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostI can't run no more

After reading posts here, I'd like to believe Doubs held on long enough for it to be a catch, but even though I'm an all out homer, at the time, I had to agree with the refs - not enough of a football move, and by rule, the need to keep control all the way to the ground.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

It's a bad rule, designed to make the referee's job easier. But based on the rule as written, it was probably the right call.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostI can't run no more

If that happened in the field of play would it have been catch, fumble and clear recovery? Especially as the ground caused the fumble.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostThe measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

Tex is right -- on one broadcast they were saying that you have to control of the football to the ground and replays showed he clearly didn't. Refs missed a few calls in this game but that wasn't one, even though it made me mad it's the right call.
On the Rodgers pick-six IDK why he's throwing to Lazard -- he has Cobb and Tonyan open. My guess is he was locked on Lazard, who wasn't really open or in a position to catch that ball anyway. There are too many moments of Rodgers not working his progressions still and it's annoying. Played much much better in 2nd half, but that first half was very concerning.
I might be on the Fire Barry bandwagon. I might be driving it by end of season. I'm glad they didn't go into a prevent defense against Zappe inside the two minute warning of the 4th quarter though.
A win is a win but that was ugly.
I hope Amos is back soon. There were a couple of plays where I'm not sure the Savage-Nixon-Ford Administration knew what they were doing.Comment

So I'm reading everywhere, including packer websites, that Romeo didn't "complete the catch through the ground." I really think they are all missing the bigger picture. He caught it with one foot planted. He took the second step as he positioned it more securely. If that isn't a catch I'm not sure what is anymore. The NFL has made a clusterfuck of this concept in my book.Originally posted by bobblehead View PostThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Except they changed that rule a few years back, unless they changed it back.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Nobody knows what a catch is anymore, or what pass interference is. Except the refs, apparently.
Remember Dez and the not-catch a few years back? They've changed the rules a few times.Comment

This. That second step was the 'football move'. It was a catch.Originally posted by bobblehead View PostComment

I haven't looked at the replay as close as some. Did he take a step after having both feet down? If he did, then the way I read it, it's a catch.A player who makes a catch may advance the ball. A forward pass is complete (by the offense) or intercepted (by the defense) in the field of play, at the sideline, or in the end zone if a player, who is inbounds:
secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and
touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and
after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, performs any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

That wasn't a catch he never completed the process.
MLF blew the challenge and we needed that timeout
