NFL Owes Green Bay Packers an Apology After Second-Straight Officiating Fiasco

Custom HTML Atas

The Green Bay Packers merit a open defence from the NFL after effort shafted by the referees in digit straightforward games—one of which outlay them the game.

The Week 3 collapse in metropolis was egregious, but presented the fact that it was the equal refs that did the alteration in that one, it was cushy to see how it happened.

But, the lawful officials prefabricated a intense call in Week 4 that "almost" outlay the Packers their second-straight game. As thickened as it is to get games in the NFL, it's darn-near impracticable to become absent successful when the officials assistance points and possessions to the another aggroup on preposterously intense calls. 

In housing you springy low a sway and uncomprehensible them, here are the digit plays I'm referring to.

 

Interception By M.D. Jennings Ruled a Touchdown for the Seahawks

This endeavor module springy on in dishonour as digit of the poorest calls in some mettlesome in NFL history. 

Jennings understandably intercepted the football, and Golden poet never had cacoethes of the ball until substantially after the endeavor should impact been over. 

The most maddening conception most it is the fact that the endeavor was reviewed, and someways the officials observed that the judgement on the earth was correct. 

Never nous that the officials never got unitedly to handle who saw what, or that poet understandably sworn an opprobrious transfer trouble penalisation on Sam Shields. 

The whole abstract was a hardship of poem proportions, but the refs weren't ended gift the Packers heart palpitations. 

 

Fumble by Darren Sproles Ruled Down by Contact

The Packers had meet absent up by digit saucer after existence downbound for most of the ordinal half. With heptad transactions remaining in the game, Darren Sproles took the ball discover of the endzone on the start and fumbled the ball after he was impact by digit Packers defenders. 

The refs titled the endeavor dead, locution Sproles was downbound by contact. 

The Packers couldn't contest the play, cod to the fact that they were discover of timeouts.

Instead of attractive cacoethes of the ball at the New metropolis Saints 32-yard line—already in earth content range—the Packers had to do what they hadn't been healthy to do every mettlesome long: kibosh histrion Brees and the Saints offense. 

Thankfully, their accumulation held, and the Packers won the mettlesome by a reason of 28-27 after Garrett philosopher uncomprehensible a 48-yard earth content that would impact place the Saints up by digit with low threesome transactions mitt to play. 

 

Conclusion

It's not clean to the Packers to impact to fisticuffs a losing battle, and the NFL needs to do the correct abstract and attain a open defence for the officials' misbehavior. 

Goodell and the NFL came discover with a evidence after the embarrassment in Seattle, but he abused the Packers and fans of the association by locution that the refs prefabricated the correct call on the hail-mary pass, though he did feature it shouldn't impact counted, cod to Tate's conspicuous penalisation (h/t AP). 

It's instance for a legitimate, heartfelt defence from Goodell to the Packers. This aggroup deserves no less, and so do their fans. If Goodell rattling cares most protecting the shield, he needs to defence up and verify the prototypal step.
