Re: We are sorry

The Packers recieved word today from the NFL that the Harris interception should have stood.

Talk about "Water under the Bridge" type of apology! That play could have been a critical turnaround in the game. It apology ended up being "Flash Flood Under The Bridge!"

Do we get a rain check for the next time we play Dallas? T.O.'s first reception counts as an interception by Harris?

Until the NFL gets rid of this stupid notion that some decisions are "not reviewable", there really is no point in having instant replay at all.

Any decision should be reviewable. Hiding behind "forward progress" or other judgment calls that the NFL has designated as get-out-of-jail-free cards for the refs is ludicrous.

If they are wrong, they are wrong...and teams should have the opportunity to correct it regardless. Every decision refs make are a judgment, so how can you label some as being OK to challenge and some as not OK to challenge?

That is what so mindnumbingly moronic with instant replay. The NFL is going to end up having instant replay go bye-bye in the next 5 years if they don't fix this issue and fast.

The refs on the field shouldn't be involved at all.

One thing that should be changed for next season is the force out rule. It is applied so haphazardly that its never applied the same way for the same situation. Either make the forceout rule go away or alter it so we don't have more plays like Bubba's TD getting nixed.

[MTPackerfan]

It is ridiculous that the office of officials or what ever, comes back a week later and tells a team the screwed up a call that could have changed the completion of the game, with an Oh we are sorry. Either allow these to be reviewed or don't do anything.

[MJZiggy]

I say let any call be reviewed. Admittedly the refs are out there doing a difficult job and it shouldn't be any insult for them to have the plays looked at after the play is blown dead if there's any question about it. I mean isn't the goal supposed to be to be consistent and get it right?

Still crying over spilled milk ? Get over it already, it's over, done, finished ! Move on to the next team. You team had better be getting ready for the Raiders, they are no joke.

[Harlan Huckleby]

These reviews are a hornets nest. The games are slowed down painfully by reviews already. You can't say "review everything". Maybe some of the rules need to be tweeked here and there, but I think they are close to an optimal balance.

Isn't it about time that you change your sig? I mean, get over it already, it's over, done, finished!

You don't think we should be upset that this is the 3rd time THIS YEAR that the refs have had to apologize to us for a specific and very serious miscall during a game?

It's a wonder they haven't screwed us out of this season!

[MadtownPacker]

No surprise here. We all knew this was coming. Sorry ass POS refs.

[mmmdk]

Encroyable!

[jramsey495]

where did you find this out? do they publish a list of screw-ups each week?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Every team gets these. There have been bad calls. Some games we get the short end of the stick, but overall I don't think it's been worse than any other team. All fans cry that their teams have been screwed by the refs.
