Re: Packer fan thoughts
I think the NFL is so arrogant that they think that no matter what happens, all us sheep will continue to attend games, and watch on TV. As much as it bothers me what is going on with the ref's, will it make me stop watching my team? No. Will it make me watch something else if my team isn't involved? Maybe. What will it take to get this situation fixed? If this isn't impetus enough to get it moving then I don't know what will. Will we still be crabbing about this in the playoffs? I sure hope not.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
Will it hinder ticket sales enough to black out games that would normally be televised?
I mean, it's not a big deal to flip the channel on Sunday to check out the game. But entirely another thing to actually visit the venue and watch the debauchery live and in person. To me, it would have an effect on whether or not I buy a ticket, sit in traffic, pay $9 for a beer, etc.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
Why didn't they review the play at a minimum? I'd rather drag the game out than end it with questionable calls.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
Of course the NFL made the statement they did. I have to imagine Goodell realizes it was the wrong call, but he HAS to support the replacements. I love Drew Brees' comments, "Ironic that our league punishes those based on conduct detrimental. Whose CONDUCT is DETRIMENTAL now?"

Re: Packer fan thoughts
Interesting, the rule book makes no differentiation between field of play and the end zone. They will need to add that in there if that is the official take. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
It breaks down to this, IMO:
1) the play was called incorrectly 2) its not going to be changed 3) the replacement refs are not qualified to call the games 4) the NFL doesn't care, because they are still making $
