Re: Week 3 MNF Packers @ Seahawks.

I still disagree, and have seen the same footage as you. I also call out some officials that are retired are agreeing with me. Not saying I am totally right.....

Curious as to what percentile you feel your take or view falls into amongst ALL who have viewd. What do you think the divide is?

One wonders what difference it makes. Since when does popular opinion make something right?

Just curious

Goodell's apology seals it.

Okay, then I know I am in the minority. I would say 5-10%. Still say I am right though. But, opinions are like @$$holes, we all have one.

I appreciate the honesty. I know you believe what you do! You've proven that.

Just curious, when players badmouth officials, aren't they usually fined by the league? Been quite a bit of that going on via twitter and such. Haven't heard about the league stepping in on that.

I realize they are much worse. I would rather watch it with these refs though than see even more money go to these overpaid part time workers who quite frankly do a crappy job nowhere near worth what they get paid.

The new deal simply means increased cost to the fans, a cost that is already beyond the means of which most can afford.

Not trying to be a jerk (really) but I doubt the cost of the officials is going to make much or any difference in the cost to the fan. It's so sky high now.

Capitalism at it's finest. I don't go to Niner games due to the crappy location of their stadium and the fact that to get there makes it truly an entire day event. Rather watch from the comfort of my home. But I go to a lot of Giants game and am guilty of buying $10.00 beers and contributing to the coffers of MLB, but it's a great experience, so worth it. How much of that cost is due to the officials doesn't matter to me if it makes the game better. I would be more upset about paying a few dollars less and getting a crappy experience because the officials are ruining the game.

The league decided to disregard any bad tweets by the Packers following the interception that wasn't.

Except it's not popular opinion that makes it right, it's the fact that the call was wrong on the field and even worse, wrong on the review and those criticizing the call are 100 percent correct.

Horrible call and trying to justify it is a joke. Jennings had possession the entire time. No disputing it..................

Smart on their part. They want this abomination to go away as soon as possible and to fine players for criticizing an obvious mistake would continue to bring attention to it. They are hoping that by bringing the officials back, this all goes away. Too bad the playoffs are affected due to the lack of stones by the replay official............

Calling a spade a spade. Goodell admitted as much in his apology today. They weren't up to it, and it wasn't thier fault.....it was the NFL's. Apology accepted Roger!

Now make it right, reverse the call and GB wins. If he really is sorry, then do the right thing.

Yeah, I didn't think so, Apology not accepted by efactor! I'm sure that will ruin his life.............

Now this is class on both sides!
Packers | Mike McCarthy reaches out to replacement ref Thu Oct 4, 11:04 AMNFL replacement official Wayne Elliott, at the heart of the most controversial moment of the lockout, said Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has reached out to him. Elliott awarded Seattle Seahawks WR Golden Tate a game-winning touchdown Sept. 24 on a Hail Mary pass that appeared to have been intercepted by Packers FS M.D. Jennings. 'He called me at my house last week because he had heard I was having a rough week with all the calls and everything,' Elliott said. 'Wanted (me) to know that he thought what I did - controversial and maybe he didn't agree with it - (but he thought) I handled it with class.' Elliott said he would probably change his ruling now. 'I'd probably call interception. I learned a rule by screwing up the rule,' Elliott said.
