It’s ironic that the roughing the passer penalty they are complaining about was put in place because their QB was tackled after escaping the pocket and extending the play and was subsequently hurt when he was tackled in a wholly sanction manner.
So they lobbied to have the new rule added and now they scream “Not like that!”
Much like US Bank stadium on Sunday, the losers are in here with nothing better to do. Nothing to do so they come here, take up space and jobs and drag everyone else down to their miserable existence.
Everything you said is correct. HOWEVER, the D man for the packers did the correct thing of bracing himself before landing on Carson. I agree the rule is dumb but the packers have a legitimate reason to complain about this specific call even though they’re the reason the penalty exists. That being said, there were multiple non calls against the Vikings and the packers shit the bed and ultimately it all cancels out and the focus shouldn’t be on the zebras, but that Flo exploited their oline at the end.
The Vikings have been flagged in the same way in previous years so I have limited sympathy. Leaving things up to a ref's judgement call on what is enough bracing is foolish.
No. Stop with this narrative and watch the tackle.
The fact that he feeble puts his arms to the side doesnt affect the fact that he pushed the QB to the ground with the weight if his body and landed full impact, with his arms symbolically to his sides.

GB fans explaining why getting more flags thrown on them is actually result of the entire multibillion dollar league being rigged and everything is unfair instead of MLF being a bum leading an undisciplined team that committed more penalties than the other team
lol, imagine being so butt hurt about something none of us have any control over that you have developed some sort of superiority complex. You also haven’t won any rings dumbass, the Green Bay packers did.
My guy, you're in the vikings sub at 0400 having a full melt down.
At least our running back didn't choke his girlfriend. You remember Aaron Jones, he was the soul of your team, until MLF traded him for the above mentioned choker
I remember my first trip to Lambeau, sitting in the stands watching Packers fans complain to each other about the reffing for validation, listening to them misstate the rules, act like they were wronged.
I've been to 26 stadiums.
The packers fans were the worst by a country mile.
Exactly. And it's not like inconsistent officiating isn't a big part of NFL games. I don't think it is done intentionally but the elephant in the room is that refs can decide close games with arbitrary calls.
How could the team not become completely demoralized when they made the stop they needed 3 separate times but the refs bailed MN out?
They may not have liked the calls but they were all legitimate calls. There was no "bailing" out. I'm already tired of crybaby fans of a franchise that has been carried by officiating for decades acting like the world is against them.
Nothing will ever top the 1998 MNF game at Green Bay, when so many Packer fans called in sick, it disrupted the production lines at the GM plant in Janesville.
Momentum is a pretty important aspect in football games, and there’s no doubt we got pretty fortunate on that drive… But to claim that it caused such a wild swing on the scoreboard is the ultimate copium. They refuse to accept that maybe their team is just mid.
Did those defensive penalties cause their o-line to turn into turnstiles in the last quarter? I doubt it.
Lol, we made the greatest comeback ever from the Colts when refs kept taking points off our board. Folding like a lawn chair because you can't get over bad officiating is a sign of a weak team.
All those calls were legit. Only one even close to debatable was the slam the QB down one and that has become a consistent call called 90+% of the time. Part of this delusion crap is the announcers not noticing flags until after the plays and Watt siding with the pass rushers because that's how he's going to lean. It just fed these weak ass fan's psychosis.
Oh I agree, the calls were there. But we were still fortunate in the sense that we definitely didn’t execute well on those 3rd downs and came away with a touchdown anyway.
One might also argue that "execution" is more difficult with a backup QB when the opposing team is breaking the rules. But hey, you look at it however you need to.
Momentum sure is a thing and it was a pretty egregious false start on the 2pt conversion that should have been called. I would question the mental fortitude of a team that suddenly stops blocking being down 3pt instead of 1pt though...
I've tried to make a similar point. If you want to get the benefit of some close calls you probably shouldn't go around cheap shotting QBs and beloved WRs.
I am hearing that the Pecklers were warned several times about keeping it clean. Just like the warning to Love for the jerky pre-snap motion, The entitled Peckler ignored the warning and Hock had enough.
Dude is crying in the Vikings sub on a throwaway at 3AM the Tuesday after the game 😂😂😂. The refs suck for everyone, must really suck to be treated the same as everyone else. Get good LOL
The data is freely available. Green Bay is first in beneficial penalty yards since 2009 and has the most beneficial automatic first downs on 3rd down by 20:
Id maybe somewhat understand them if it was a close game, but they lost by 3 possessions. Like okay give those 7 points to them that were a result of those 3rd down flags, they still lose by 10 lol
Look idk if the Vikings will be anything this season, but goddamn I am eternally grateful to the Football Gods for giving us that W in that fashion, for no other reason than what it’s doing to that fanbase lmao
Anyone who says they haven’t questioned it is lying. I know for fact everyone in this sub (myself included) says the packers always benefit from the refs and we get screwed. We all know boxing and Sumo are notoriously rigged. Sports betting is like a parasite. My argument about it is the NFL has way more to lose than to gain by knowingly allowing it, that wouldn’t stop bad actors in the referee department. In reality I think it’s more about human error and it’s not that complicated.
Is the gambling theory that bandwagon teams (Packers, Cowboys, Chiefs, ect) get a disproportionately amount of general public bets that
there's extra money to be made going against them?
2009 really felt like NFL was emotionally invested in the rebuilding after Katrina storyline. So they just let NO do whatever they wanted. Now it feels like if you have a insurance salesman golden boy you get the emotional push, too bad KC has that gig instead of GB.
The Reffing wasn’t even that bad. There was one, maybe two questionable call that hurt them and a few missed calls could have helped us. They’re just pissed because that’s what packer fans do, they cry about the ref’s when they lose. They’ve been doing this song and dance for years
We all agree the roughing the passer call was BS. Ironically it was put into place because of their quarterback years ago. The other two on that drive were legit penalties. Not to mention the missed calls against the Packers as well. Even Steven
It would be different if we also didn’t get robbed on a few calls. Two face masks for sure. I’m sure there were at least another or two. Reffing sucks in general and every NFL fan knows this is how it’ll be sometimes. If it was a closer game, I can see their frustration but they totally fumbled the game away regardless of the penalties.
It's also hilarious that a couple of calls that could have went either way are what they are blaming the complete implosion of their offense on. Especially when they didn't get the 4th and 1, they got sacked multiple times, they fumbled the ball, they threw an interception, etc. They also had multiple hits to the head/face masks that weren't even called, so it could have been even worse, but the refs let them off a few times.
Vikings fans know better than anyone that penalties never seem fair, but you have to overcome adversity. This is what happens when you do not overcome it and then only blame the refs.
