All I got to say is.. Trent Dilfer said the officials made the CORRECT call on the Shiancoe NON-TD.
And, that's all that matters.
Try again Dykeman.

If the ball hits the ground, it's incomplete. That simple. He was coming down with it, and he used the turf to maintain control.Do you know NFL rules? Seriously? Did I or do I ever complain about holding calls? Even when Clifton grabs all over Allens jersey and arms....that's part of the game. The fact of the matter is the Vikings were screwed on the shianco td. It is so obvious it was a td. I can set myself aside and be an unbiased Viking fan and I can tell you as an NFL fan it is a league wide problem. You saw it firsthand tonight. Until the NFL gets it's act together is will continue to be a problem.
The rule is simple....and I will quote it for you Tuesday on Ref review. The ball can hit the ground if the rec has possession. Shianco had possession.
Your team is not better than ours. You lost to the Bears. The refs handed you this game.
As far as whining is concerned I'm gonna spend the next 3 hours bumping threads calling out Packer fans for complaining about holds. It's my new mission.
Tonight was a shameful night for the NFL.
See you at the dome.

Dilfer is wrong 50% of the time and you need to check on the other 50%.
Because some of us non-Packer fans bring good football discussion to the forum. If you want a forum were other fans aren't welcome I can name a few for you.Can i just ask why we seem to be accommodating non packers fans so much in a PACKERS forum???? I suppose im going to get banned for asking such a sensible question but i guess someone got to do it...............
Actually most of what I have seen is Packer fans complaining about not getting holding calls. As I stated before, there were plenty of holding calls on both teams that could have been made, but were not. And I for one am not blaming the refs for the game. Tell me, since you have the rulebook handy, what's the penalty for a player taking his helmet off during a play?I checked. The play was called correctly as an incompletion according to the rules. Looks like he was right this time. Crazy how the purple wearing Sallys can't see it was called a good game by the refs. The only one was the Quarless TD, which wasn't the refs fault. They didn't see it. Like I said, blame your own coach. GB has more complaints than the Vikings do, seeing how Matthews rarely gets holding calls or facemasks which there were plenty of.
Great game though!!

And this board was dead a few years back when the Packers picked Hawk in the top 5. DEAD. There wasn't a Packer fan to be found. So please take your bandwagon comments elsewhere chump before I smack you around this site.
Ok folks settle down. Man, what a bunch of, well I can't say it because it's calling people names.....
Face it. The NFL refs sucks. ...
Shiancoes TD should have been? Quarles shouldn't have? Big Deal. The game is in the books and nothing will change...
Just agree that the refs suck and hope like hell they call a better game next time.
Matthews took his helmet off during a play in the 4th quarter. When I get home tonight I can look at the game and give you a time.Summary:
Delay of game penaly/ unsportsman like conduct: 10/15 yds.
who did this tonite?!? I saw Woodson get his knocked off and Matthews take his off during a T.O. to throw all that lions mane back into his helmet, neither of which would be a penalty.
The refs have sucked for several years now. It's just becoming more apparent because the games are getting closer in score and the bad refs are now affecting the outcome of games.(In general, not necessarily this game)Raptorman- you are ruining my favorite impression that all Viking fans are jerks. I have to admit that I welcome your input here on the Packer forum, despite the fact that you root for the bad guys.
Can't agree with you more. The refs have been exceptionally bad lately. I have lost count how many times this season that I have been able to (without needing replay) know that a call was incorrectly made. Yesterday, I knew that Ben R. fumbled going into the endzone, in real time. I could not believe that a TD was called! It ended up costing Miami the victory. I have also seen several in-bounds catches when, again in real time, I saw that a foot was clearly on the line, etc. What amazes me is that often the referee is looking right at the foot, too!?
I don't know about the Vikings as I don't watch all their games, but I think the Packers have come out on the short end of several key bad calls (or non-calls, as was the case in last year's playoffs). So, as a Packer fan, it is nice to finally see a key bad call or two go against our opponents.
I also agree with another post in this thread that good teams rise above bad calls. Unfortunately, the Packers haven't been good enough to make the refs irrelevant lately. Apparently, neither are the Vikings.
