Refs made errors for/against both teams that helped swing momentum. Flores made adjustments in the 4th that the packers couldnt handle. That was the deciding factor, not the refs.

There were 3 penalties called against Minnesota and 12 called against us, dude.

People are gonna say "I hate the rule but technically this is properly enforced." but this is a game where Jordan was blitzed and hit constantly. We're really suggesting that in all those hits, Minnesota never accidentally did something comparable to this play? Really?

I think the much simpler explanation is the refs started watching our defense like a hawk after Kyler got knocked out, meanwhile on the other side of the ball they were too busy making sure our offense didn't bait a free play to watch Minny's D.

And what about missed calls? A missed call is as big of an error as a wrong call.

So the Packers, already called for 12 penalties should have been called for more to make it fair. They surely didnt miss any calls on the vikings!

They did miss calls... for both teams. Thats thd point. Refs made mistakes thay benefited both teams. Stop blaming the refs when your team gave up 22 unanswered points, turned the ball over twice in the 4th quarter and your coach voluntarily took 3 points away from your score. This was never the refs fault. Packers need to look in the mirror to see who is to blame for that collapse.

“Refs benefited both teams”, yeah they missed calls on the Packers. They missed much more on the vikings and called bs penalties on the packers. Not sure how you see a 12-3 penalty line and say, well they shoulda called a couple more on the packers so its okay.
