Yeah, it was tough on everyone; the refs' miscalls, green bays offense doing real well with running the ball and play action (minus the 8 sacks) and of course the last play of the game was controversial. My from angle Jennings had possession in the air then on the way down I feel he slightly lost possession, and regained it before they hit the floor. In that case, it was an interception. Hopefully this doesn't haunt the packers towards the end of the season when records and head to head stats come more into play. In the end I can't really blame the refs for being doing so poorly because they're not trained for the NFL, they're Div III, or Junior College, and some are NFL Europe trained but none to the caliber and quality of what NFL needs to go back to. It's changing the game that's for sure, but perhaps the players and teams need to adapt until the "real refs" come back. It's the NFLs fault, especially as a business, for not coming to terms with the real refs. The fans, the players, the coachers are very angry obviously and something needs to change soon. Until then... Side: Yes, robbed blind
It's the NFLs fault, especially as a business, for not coming to terms with the real refs. I agree. The NFL has done such a great job of protecting the brand over the years, they are definitely running a risk here but I can't say that I entirely blame them. Have you seen how much the officials make and what their benefits are? It's pretty damn good. Side: Yes, robbed blind

I agree, but I also gave up on baseball during the players strike in the 80s (on principle). Now the games are infuriating to watch because you see so many bad calls going both directions that you feel bad for both teams! I am not going to watch anymore until the refs come back. Side: Yes, robbed blind
I do feel for you packers fans, as well as the team. The refs have been out of their element. I think I may still watch the games, simply because I'm in a couple fantasy leagues and I enjoy watching football, even if there are 200 yards in penalties a game. I mostly watch college football, and the officiating is pretty good for college football. The team I follow is USC Trojans. Side: Yes, robbed blind
I am a New York Giant fan and the Packers are in the same division, but rivalry aside, i do agree the the Packers were robbed on the MNF game. The defender and clear control of the ball and the Seahawks wide receiver did push off the defender and didn't even get control of the ball, he didn't even have half of the ball to make it a touchdown. These replacement refs are making the NFL the laughing stock of sport franchise. Side: Yes, robbed blind
I finally just watched the replay. It was clearly an interception! End of story it was a bad call. Almost everyone seems to agree. The fact that everybody has been waiting for these refs to screw up is beside the point. Sometimes people really do see what they want to see and it's not always because they want to see it. It's was an interception. And I don't even care for the butt packers. Side: Yes, robbed blind

Well, it wasn't a great call, but it is what it is. Officiating involves human error, and this was one case. Being from Wisconsin and knowing Packer fans as well as being one myself, not sure if the Packers were robbed of the win considering the game isn't determined by one play or call. The Packers offense was terrible while the defense played well, yet the officiating was inconsistent. Side: No, great call

Yes, human error is a major factor, which was the missed call on the pass interference as the catch was called correctly due to non irrefutable evidence. The non replacements refs made mistakes just as well as did fans complain about them as well. These refs are trained but in a different setting. The replacements refs are Divison 2 college football trained. Side: No, great call
