The Packers played good enough to win, and did in virtually everyone's eyes.
Did the officials officiate well enough to continue to be employed? Virtually everyone also agrees they did not.
Maybe it hasn't cost your team anything yet, but odds are it's going to if the NFL insists on using these replacement officials through the season.
