Anytime a team has to depend on a call by a ref, replacement or regular, to help determine the outcome of the game the problem lies deeper than that one play.  In this case the refs made some bad calls during the game, on both sides.  However, the coach of each team has the ability to make changes throughout the game.  MM made none in the first half as I could see.  How do you stop a pass rush play after play? You run the ball. 7 of Benson's 17 carries came in the first drive of the second half. He had 2 in the first half, so for the rest of the 2nd half he had 5.  And in that first drive of the second half, while it stalled, the Packers moved the ball.  Had MM tried and stuck with the run a bit in the first half I don't think there would have been 8 sacks. So blame the refs, but one has to wonder about the play calling in the first half.</blockquote>
