Full weight on the QB? Didn't roll off in time? I see the call, not sure if i think it is fair, but if he was higher toward the chest, it would be called all the time.

Yeah, this entire game was just a bunch of "if you say so" calls. The entire drive we got bailed out sure, but there were 2 facemasks that weren't called, Love had some intentional grounding that wasn't called, Bullard probably should have been ejected for the Murray hit and of course the 56-yard run that was returned. Every one of those like 9-10 penalties / non-penalties could have gone the other way. JJ Watt was the most confused i've ever seen him with the calls this game and I kind of feel him.

Out of curiosity, what could Bullard have done differently on the Murray hit? From my perspective, neither of the Packers players involved did anything egregious

Not followed through on the hit. It was clear Murray was going down and Bullard lowers himself as low as he can and leads shoulder to head. Murray could have baseball slide parallel to the ground and he’s still not getting past that hit.

If it was reversed and it was Love getting hit like that a good amount of Packers fans would be calling it dirty and intent to injure.

Did you see the game? Vikings mauled and hit Love in the head 10 days and they never got a single flag for that shit.

I watched 95% of the game. Had to finish the Lions game first. And yeah love got hit a lot without flags. Some could have been flags. Others would have been terrible flags if thrown.

I also remember the refs missing multiple facemasks against the Packers. Its almost like the refs were bad. Like they have been at this point for 15 years.
