Sisyphean Bills Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 The tuck rule isn't relevant if the ball doesn't hit the ground. QB isn't named Tom Brady. Fixed for you.
Simon Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 The tuck rule isn't relevant if the ball doesn't hit the ground. There was some mention of that in the game thread. If Rodgers doesn't kick the ball back up in the air and it goes to the ground, does the tuck rule bail him out if AZ recovers the fumble?
billsfreak Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Who cares? You have to cheer for Kurt Warner.
Max997 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I think first you have to go back and analyze every other play in the game just as closely and see how many calls they blew for both sides. I was pulling for Green Bay but the Cards beat them fair and square. It was a lot of fun watching that game, I think I saw more TDs scored in that game then I the Bills scored all season, almost anyway. big difference between that play and every other play...that one ended the game the Pack got screwed on numerous other plays as well...please name one the Cards got screwed on
Numark Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 O please, the nfl is becoming to technical. Guess what, that minor facemask had nothing to do with the play and didn't effect the outcome 1 bit. The cardinals made that play 100 percent. Also, go back and watch the highlights. On a few of the long passes by rodgers, there was major holding penalties not getting called committed by the packers offensive line. Big ones that usually get called. Not to mention the cardinals driving down the field only to miss an easy gield goal. I could care less about the 2 teams and to be honest I like the packers a bit more, but give me a break.

I think it then goes to the replay officials. It's a judgment call -- a BS rule competing with a facemask the refs missed but which they'll see on the replay.

Rico Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Couldn't happen to a better NFC fanbase. Other than Dallas anyways.
EC-Bills Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 only this board would find a way to cry and relate this to tom brady So true
DonInBuffalo Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 One thing to keep in mind: As soon as the ball came lose, any/every official that was looking at Rogers followed the ball instead. So it's perfectly understandable that they never saw the facemask grab, no matter how blatant it might have been.
Cereal Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Packers Robbed... Marshawn? Couldn't resist.....
Rubes Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Both of Fitzgerald's TD catches should have been offensive pass interference. He ran over Woodson both times.
Thurman#1 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 due to an uncalled facemask. In the photo at the link below, it is plainly obvious that Michael Adams of the Cardinals is flagrantly pulling Rodgers' facemask as he forces the fumble. A flag should have been thrown, the play called back, and Green Bay awarded 15 yards and a first down. Photo linky... Watch the play rather than a still photo and you can see he was pushing, not pulling. There was no twisting and it didn't affect the play. A very good no-call. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...rds-pull-it-out
thewildrabbit Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I see so many holds-grabs-pushing-shoving-interference on both sides that is never called almost every play, it seems like the refs only call the really flagrant stuff in playoff games,jmo.
Thurman#1 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Both of Fitzgerald's TD catches should have been offensive pass interference. He ran over Woodson both times. Yeah, I thought so too. The thing is, the refs are pretty much trained to look for arms outstretched and to call it then. Fitzgerald chested him both times. Should've been called. I imagine they'll be looking at that after the season the same way they did when the Pats* absolutely mugged the Colts recievers in the playoffs a few years ago, and the refs let it go because you "let 'em play in the playoffs."
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Brady would have gotten the call on that play, then again on the next for good measure. And on the next play one referee would be seen performing fellatio on him while another was tossing his salad. only this board would find a way to cry and relate this to tom brady So true And Norwood would have made the Field goal if not for Beli-cheat, the Pats*** and Brady. Blaming others for your own shortcomings is a sure sign of a loser.

I saw that in real time and wondered why no flag but the ball was knocked loose well before. If Rodgers had connected on that Bomb one play earlier wouldnt have mattered

Gordio Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing and neither announcer said a word even though it was so blatant. This is beyond frustrating if you had the Pack at +3.5 and all you had to do to win was have them not given up a td. Damn you Neil Rackers where the hell did you go to get the pack +3.5. Every line I seen was the pack -2 - -3.
zazie Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Packers robbed them selfs by playing like crap in the 1st quarter. Both defense played ridiculous bad football, the entire game, until the very last play.
