Packers LB Clay Matthews says roughing the passer penalties ‘out of control’

“You see how it changed the game. I know there’s an emphasis on protecting quarterbacks, but it’s gotten out of control. I don’t know what else to do. It’s frustrating because Jaire’s interception, that’s game , right? Instead, they go down and score, overtime, this and that,” said Matthews.
He's right...
It's something the ref's are going to have to learn over time. Yesterdays play on KC was bang/bang -- just like so much during a game.
I hate the ref's, I dont envy the refs...

Just like Kendricks hit as rodgers released the ball earlier in the game changed from a 4th down to a 1st down.
Yes, it is out of control, but it goes both ways Clay "Burping".
Except it could have been game over before that. And of course the roughing the passer call that went the other way is out of control too right Clay? It's not like Green Bay doesn't get enough benefit of the doubt.

If there's any team in the league that gets the benefit of the doubt, most especially at home, it's the Packers. It's the biggest non-secret secret in the NFL.

I know right. They were holding all game and the refs just ignore it. That's nothing new and that's not going away. I just find it hilarious and ridiculous that the league's biggest whiners are complaining.
Clay Matthews penalized by the Aaron Rodgers rule, ironic...But, he's right. It's funny when it comes from Matthews that has priors with late hits, hits out of bounds and driving players hard into the ground.
You can thank your "discount double check" friend for that...CLAY

Dude is out of control.

Zim made a good point in his presser today, Kirk was hit in the knees (illegal) on his TD to Thielen. Didn't see Clay protesting that one either.

I saw that. Yesterday I saw something in one of the views of that play looked like Cousins was hit long after the ball was in the air. After reviewing highlights last night, there is one view where you can see a Packer hitting him very low on the legs as he releases the ball.
Oh I wish all this attention about protecting the QB was happening back when the Saints beat up Favre in the NFC Championship game. I keep remembering the photo of the Saints hitting Favre high and low at the same time and the ref standing in the photo.
Seems to me they then beat up Peyton Manning in the SB after that.

They went after Warner in the divisional round I think.And yes, that was a very low hit on Cousins as he released it. Makes the throw even more incredible.
Packers and their fans minds are blinded to the Kendricks call. They are so
conditioned to receive calls it is almost impossible for them to see
that the same thing happened to the opposing team in the same game.
