WTF does it take to get thrown out of a game these days? There’s an actual fight in the endzone after Browner’s cheapshot on Jennings, and nobody got ejected. 😕😕😕

Turned on the game to watch the 4th quarter, and the first thing I saw was the refs calling a personal foul on Seattle, and then correcting themselves to call it on a Packer number that doesn’t exist.

These games are great fun to watch when you don’t really care who wins.

The Packers need to make sure thay buy Russel Wilson dinner and take him to a movie before tackling him.

Apparently, Sidney Rice can give Shields surprise butt-sex, and it will be called defensive pass interference.

What the fuckity fuck?!?!?!?

I didn’t really care who won, but even so they gave it to the wrong team. That was the most ludicrous call I’ve ever seen.

Seahawks fan here: will this finally be the play that forces the league’s hand on the ref issue?

(Damn, beat by **Enginerd**.)

Missed the game, just saw the result. WTF happened? I thought it was over after Seattle couldn’t convert on four down with just under 2 minutes left.
