You argue that "should have/could have situations" are irrelevant. Therefore, saying the refs should have gotten the call correct is equally irrelevant. But since the whole uproar is about what the refs should have done, any other hypothetical situations—including Green Bay playing better—are fair game. It's not "absurd" to think so. That's a word I would reserve for comparing a football game to a policeman getting shot in the line of duty.

Too late I won from time of post until 2 hours ago, you had plenty of chances the first part of the day making any future response right or wrong, null and void.

sorry, i couldn't resist.

seriously though....they have separate balls for the QB's vs. the kickers....and using a throwing ball on a kick off could potentially drop that kick way shorter than we're used to seeing.

I was just watching the local news in Seattle and they did a poll and more than 55% of the people who participated said we should give last nights game to who actually won it, the Green Bay Packers.

Can I do sports book.com in a non gambling state? (sigh just checked nope )

Try sportsbook.ag. That's the "US version" for legal reasons.

In researching this debacle today, I learned that there is only -one- "ref" on the field, who is over numerous "officials".

The officials blew the call.

So he's a terrible receiver, but a good running back in 1 quarter?

Geez man that is just mean, call him a c@cks^cker or something that is just not quite so flat out mean!
I wouldn't call my mother in law who I pretty much totally hate 'Tebow' for crying out loud!

TJ Lang says the Packers are threatening to strike or kneel down on every play until the regular refs are back.

In other words, they are being big babies. Grow up.

Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan was fined $25,000 for chasing and verbally abusing the officials after Sunday's game. No word yet on what Belichick's punishment is.

No progress between the NFL and officials after last weekend's debacle as the NFL is standing firm on the three main issues.

First, the NFL wants a bench of replacements (they’ll need a better word than that) to serve as in-season understudies for officials who aren’t performing at an acceptable level. King reports that the NFL won’t guarantee that the officials will work at least 15 games.

Second, the pension issue continues to prevent an agreement. The league wants to change from a defined-benefit pension plan to a defined-contribution system. The difference, per King, is roughly $3.3 million per year. The officials don’t believe they should have to tighten belts at a time when the NFL continues to grow fat.

Third, the amount of the raise for the officials remains in dispute. The officials want an eight-percent bump. The NFL has offered an increase of 2.5 percent. Again, the discrepancy comes from the fact that the officials believe that, as the league’s pie grows, their slice of it grows commensurately.

As King writes, “Ihe NFL is willing to look at the dispute as something like a game of chess vs. a game of checkers. The league believes that the short-term pain of a football nation up in arms will be worth it two to four years down the road if they can improve the overall quality of officiating by adding what would be a taxi squad of three additional crews.”
