NFL Week 12

First of all, this loss was the Packers' fault for not taking advantage of the first half turnovers, so i'm not laying it directly on the zebras, but that was one of the most disgusting displays of incompetent officiating I've ever seen. THREE times, Seattle's scoring drives were aided by bogus penalties after they had been stopped on third down. Absolutely disgusting. The "roughing call" was the worst call I've seen all year.

I'm usually not one to trash the officials but I totally agree with you. The so called holding by Dendy and the so called roughing the passer were awful calls and potentially changed the outcome of the game. That's why I'm piss*d about it. Give Hasselbeck credit though, he overcame early struggles and pulled out a win. The Packers sure had their opps.:ninja:

Would you say the officiating was worse last February's championship game?
 
Now friends, see the difference between a great football fan who loves his team, but loves the game too (Jive), and a blatant homer who probably didn't even follow the team until they started winning, or at least certainly never posted about them. (someone else)

Haha,blame the officials all you want. I'll blame 201 yards rushing which means the D was out a long time and was getting pounded.
Also I predicted MY BELOVED would yesterday, some homer huh? :D

If you weren't a blatant frontrunner, you would have seen me say the loss was the fault of not taking advantage of the first half turnovers, but then again, you are a blatant homer/frontrunner. Show me a posting history where you crowed about the Bears before last year, and I'll retract.

Also, calling a team "my beloved" is one of the, lets just say, non manly, things I've ever heard.
