Season Long NFC North Discussion Thread

I know you’re still butthurt about this from a couple weeks ago, but I think I know what the difference is. It is unmanly to complain about bad calls adversely affecting your team. When it’s another team that you don’t care about, it’s perfectly fine. Instead of “they’re screwing over my guys!”, it’s more about screweing up the integrity of the league.

I hate the rule about not being allowed to touch a QB above the neck or below the thigh. As a fan of defensive football I think they hurt the game in a real and meaningful way. However, they were extremely consistent on calling those rules all season, and to then not call that heavily-enforced rule on the game-deciding play of an overtime playoff game is simply uncool.

I also hate the non-contact after five yards emphasis on the same grounds. For example, what the officials did to Revis on Saturday was a joke. The difference there was that the Jets were clearly good enough to overcome bad calls while the Packers were not.
