Disillusioned
I just finished watching the Packers lose to the Bears at Soldier field and I needed to voice my thoughts. I have watched many NFL football games, especially Packer's games, but I have never been more disillusioned with NFL football or NFL officiating. All I want, all anyone wants is a level playing field. Good sportsmanship, and refs to call the same for one team as they do for the other. But, in a game with one of the longest rivalries in NFL history on the most spectacular night of football- monday, I watched in horror as flag after flag was thrown against Green Bay. Some of them were minor 5 yard penalties, but too often they were in the red zone or negated needed turnovers. Ultimately, the Packers had one of the most penalized nights in NFL history. Fans need to believe that NFL games are clean games and may the best team win, but that was clouded tonight and that upsets me.
