Ok, the Packers are playing rather poorly, but I think the bigger story is the absolutely atrocious calls being made by the refs. I took notes on all poor calls/no-calls and I have concluded that the Packers might not be able to overcome the hometown referees.
Here is the list in order:
- Pass interference call on Woodson which leads to a TD.
- Reversal of the fumble and recovery call by Matthews, booth review stated that his arm was moving forward. Bullshit. Both announcers were stunned by the call. I really don't understand how you can make that call.
- No personal foul call on Harrison for a late hit on Rodgers or the helmet to helmet on Rodgers. Harrison hit him late and held him there while the officials watched.
- Hines Ward, the dirtiest player in the league by player vote, hit A.J Hawk in the back, but no block in the back penalty was called. The announcers both commented on how "he got away with one".
The score should be 14-14 right now without the penalty that led to a score. The Packers also have dropped a ton of balls.
