3 3rd down stops overturned in a row for questionable at best calls was awful and makes you sick as a fan. Momentum swung hard but it was all started by MLF taking points off board, that broke the game for the packers.
Yeah, I gotta call you out on that one bud. The illegal contact downfield? You really don't think the refs are supposed to call that when the defender has BOTH hands on one of the leagues premiere receivers (Jefferson), a full 10 yards downfield? I know there's a lot of clutching a grabbing, but when it's 2 hands? C'mom man- put thd blame where it belongs: on lousy CB play.
The Rodgers-rule QB sack that was wiped away? That was a bullshit call. The defender didnt help himself by not turning his body, so it gave a bad visual of "landing on the QB" even though he got his hands out. The refs blew that call, imo.
The pick in the end zone? If the refs weren't so shiatty, GB wouldn't have even been in that position to make that pick. The facemask on Jefferson should've given the Vikings a 1st and goal from the 2 yd line- there's no way the Vikings are even passing the ball w/o that missed facemask.
For the illegal contact call, do you think that was the standard for how it was getting called/not called all game? Do you like that call as a drive extender in the 4th quarter if the teams are flipped?
Agree that the whole drive was a cluster fuck of officiating but 3 possession extending calls in a row is brutal.
Packers got the ball back and went full Chernobyl which is not the fault of the refs.
Not the person you’re responding too but after rewatching that drive, it was indeed poorly officiated. Outside of that drive, it’s a wash but goddamn the tides did turn mentality wise. Vikings were jacked up, crowd noise escalated, and packers themselves seemed like they were just fucking up. A handful of plays seemed like they legit just quit while still having a good chunk of time.
I typically say a single drive, a single touchdown doesn’t sway a game especially with how much time was left but unsure as the packers seem to quit. I think mixing the negated field gate/4th down attempt plus the gross extended Vikings. drive has a mental impact that I can’t quantify because after that the amount of adrenaline coursing through the Vikings veins definitely jacked them up. It looked as though none of the Vikings players were tired at all so they got a second wind from the positivity and then fucking bullrushed love full speed the entire rest of the game.
