Oh yea...had forgotten about that. reffing in general seemingly gets worse every year.Swirls wrote:And if you blast the refs for the first down call, you have to blast them for the terrible fumble call in the first quarter.

That "1st down call" at the end of the game was just another example of how incompetent these baffoons are.
The missed blatant helmet to helmet call earlier in the game is understandable i guess because its probably tough to catch stuff like that in real time, but the botched call at the end of the game is inexcusable.
his arm was clearly down before the yellow tv line.
but i retract my statement, because there's footage of the tv line being off mark.
Also, I love Lambeau. The wife and I made the trip for Sunday night's game and it did not disappoint. This was our second playoff game at Lambeau (the first was the first round game against the Giants in 2017). The snow really started coming down right as the game ended, which was kinda disappointing as I would have loved for it to have been coming down hard during the entire game.
just eliminate instant replay so that the "in real time" excuse can be valid.
