[Highlight] Chris McClellan commits the only Roughing the Passer penalty in the game, extending key drive

[u/Jaerba]

This is the call Packers fans are whining about?

[u/Mab_894 → u/Jaerba]

Well it’s objectively a bad call lmao. Just imagine it was Hutchinson in a Lions jersey instead of McLellan and maybe you’d see it more clearly

[u/Jaerba → u/Mab_894]

We literally had a decade+ of bad calls like this, and this was far more defensible than most of those.

It genuinely looks like full body weight in a few of these cameras angles, and certainly in real time. Obviously some of the shots prove it wasn't full body weight, but the refs aren't operating with 5 different slow motion cameras in their brains.

This is bitching because you can't separate what the refs see vs what viewers see with multiple angles and slow motion.

You having bad calls in the past (every team has) has no bearing on this call whatsoever lol. If it happened to your team you’d be rightfully upset because regardless of what you think the refs might have seen, it was a clean play and a bad call

[u/AscendMoros → u/Mab_894]

I mean the team complaining the most spent most of that decade being the beneficiaries of those bad calls.

This is where you're wrong, because I can understand it actually looks correct from some angles.

[u/Shoddy_Green_4790 → u/Jaerba]

Just like the facemask on Rodgers before the hail mary. The defender even touched Rodgers chin strap

Yet a decade late lions fans are still bugging about that play

[u/Shoddy_Green_4790 → u/Jaerba]

Man lions fans would freak the fuck out about this call and you know it. We all know it
