[QUOTE="kahnoodie, post: 239731, member: 1367"] The refs sucked this game. The ruling on the field was an illegal forward pass (not grounding) and was called because of an "unnatural throwing motion" by Rodgers. My guess is that the refs thought the ball was near a receiver, and thus came up with this alternate ruling. If they would have just said it was grounding I don't know that there would be any complaints. Although the MNF game had Warner in a similar play where he left the ball about 6 yards short of a WR that wasn't looking and the refs decided that was OK after a conference. The real bad calls were the two phantom holding calls and the call on Harris. Also the Sidney Rice pushoff in the endzone early in the game. I kind of wonder if the refs are beginning to rely too much on tendencies instead of just calling what they see as it happens. All That said I remember: - Early whistles last year that negated a couple of Packer fumbles - A couple of years back...The Ben Steele play where he ended up with an onsides recovery, when the Vikings had recovered the ball in plain view - The play where the Vikings tried to kneel a squib kick late in a game and the Packers blasted the guy so I guess it's all fair...I'm sure in the next couple years the Pack will get some bogus calls in one of the matchups with the Vikes.
