Yeah, I was thinking the same thing and neither announcer said a word even though it was so blatant. This is beyond frustrating if you had the Pack at +3.5 and all you had to do to win was have them not given up a td. Damn you Neil Rackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass To The Arson Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm glad the Cardinals won the game but that was definitely a face mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineMoxie Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah, I noticed it too. I would have been incredulous that the announcers didn't even mention it on the slow-motion replay, but Joe Buck's an idiot so I guess I'm not all that surprised. Plus, if Tim Donaghy is right, the refs in all the major sports leagues are biased against certain teams based on how much money the league wants to make (and, despite their universal popularity, the Packers are small market...).

Max997 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The Pack got screwed on a couple non calls against the Cards Fitz running Woodson over then catching a TD was clearly offensive pass interference They called holding against the Pack but didnt call roughing the passer...they did however call roughing the passer against the Pack on the Fitz TD when the d-lineman was clearly blocked into Warner and easily could have been called for holding and of course the facemask on the last play refs miss plays in every game but this is a joke, all were all big plays in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think first you have to go back and analyze every other play in the game just as closely and see how many calls they blew for both sides. I was pulling for Green Bay but the Cards beat them fair and square. It was a lot of fun watching that game, I think I saw more TDs scored in that game then I the Bills scored all season, almost anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 It looked like the facemask occurred after the ball was loose. Should have been Arizona ball, but 15 yards from the spot It looked to me like snatching Aaron Rodgers by the face mask helped force the fumble and Rodgers had just got through taking a helmet to the face that wasn't called. The Packers were robbed by horrible officiating in my opinion and It was a bad way to end a real good game. I'm not a packer fan or Aaron Rodgers fan and the only thing I can say in defense of the referee's is Warner also took some questionable shots to the head. Grabbing a fellas face mask though is hard to ignore, Come on man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I did see it too, however, it wasn't called so what can be done now? I don't really feel like it is worth diminishing Arizona's win. Besides, there were a couple of plays on that drive where it looked to me like the Packers' offensive line got away with holding (they were called once, but I thought there were more plays than just that one).

He actually grabbed it after the ball was out. Or from the brief time I actually cared about the replay it looked like the facemask was after the fumble. Weird play. Almost a facemask. Then, you actually had the facemask which could have been called, I think. Almost a tuck rule? Illegal kick, although the fumbling player kicked it. All kinds of stuff happened on that one play, that didn't really happen, making it so that everyone on both sides could throw a hissy fit about multiple things.

Numark Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 O please, the nfl is becoming to technical. Guess what, that minor facemask had nothing to do with the play and didn't effect the outcome 1 bit. The cardinals made that play 100 percent. Also, go back and watch the highlights. On a few of the long passes by rodgers, there was major holding penalties not getting called committed by the packers offensive line. Big ones that usually get called. Not to mention the cardinals driving down the field only to miss an easy gield goal. I could care less about the 2 teams and to be honest I like the packers a bit more, but give me a break.

DonInBuffalo Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 One thing to keep in mind: As soon as the ball came lose, any/every official that was looking at Rogers followed the ball instead. So it's perfectly understandable that they never saw the facemask grab, no matter how blatant it might have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Both of Fitzgerald's TD catches should have been offensive pass interference. He ran over Woodson both times. Yeah, I thought so too. The thing is, the refs are pretty much trained to look for arms outstretched and to call it then. Fitzgerald chested him both times. Should've been called. I imagine they'll be looking at that after the season the same way they did when the Pats* absolutely mugged the Colts recievers in the playoffs a few years ago, and the refs let it go because you "let 'em play in the playoffs."
