NFL admits blown calls

MINNEAPOLIS - The NFL has acknowledged its officiating crew made at least nine mistakes during Sunday's Green Bay-Minnesota game, including a key pass interference call.
The mistakes were documented in a confidential memorandum, the Star Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press said, citing unidentified sources.
The Vikings (3-10) lost the game 26-22 in Green Bay. Eight of the affected plays occurred in the fourth quarter, when the Packers (10-3) made up a nine-point deficit with two touchdowns. An interference call negated a Vikings' interception on the Packers' game-winning drive.

What's even more interesting there were the stories later on that members of that crew were "quietly fired" after the season.  No press release on that deal from the NFL.   Why?  Because they were caught rigging a game, no doubt for betting purposes, and the last thing the league wanted was a cheating scandal.

Really, they were fired?  Somehow I thought they were brought back every year for the Vikings-Packers games?

It feels like that sometimes.

Matthews is always flying into someone. He usually jumps on top of the QB/RB/WR, doesnt wrap up just goes in for any kind of hit he can get and lands with his full body weight and force on the player. Biggest D-Bag in football.

Anyone read the article where he was saying Rodgers had the right to be pissed at Barr.

Is this what you are referring to?
Barr hit Rodgers on a roll-out pass to his right and maintained contact with the quarterback all the way to the ground. Rodgers appeared to yell at Barr as he walked off the field with the Packers' medical staff.
"I saw Aaron jawing at him," Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said. "Aaron can take a hit and get up and respect it, but I'm sure he had a little something to say and rightfully so."
Hundley said he could understand why Rodgers wouldn't like the hit.
"I'm sure he didn't, yeah," Hundley said. "I mean, who would?"
Rodgers did not speak to reporters after the game. Barr was not available to reporters either because he left the game due to a concussion.

Yeah, I couldn't remember exactly where I saw it and was too lazy to search.  Thanks!

Wow, I had never heard that before.  That game definitely felt like a fix.

Cheap shot righteous @ssholes.

Matthews is dirty.  Not just slimy, but dirty.  And to see MM defend his player and then claim Barr is dirty is just stupid.

And because they want to be such crybabies next game I hope our lads decide to hit even harder next game. Cleanly of course. But I'd say really bring the wood next time if there is an opportunity. They keep crying we go harder.
