A. Rodgers, Intentional grounding and general other bs

[Matt62881]

Every time he is about to get sacked he spikes it into the ground or near the back of the lineman, KA would not get away with this not to mention you cant touch the guy. I know this is a well known fact but im venting because id love to nock that s*** eating grin after every call he gets off his face.

We literally lost yesterday because the refs would rather call a phantom bullsh*t roughing the passer call, instead of an OBVIOUS intentional grounding in the endzone (that would have been a safety), which would have been 2 points AND the ball before the half. Lions got hosed in Lambeau, and we just got hosed in Lambeau. It's almost as worse as the superdome.

Allen did get away with an intentional grounding yesterday. Doesn’t make up for the obvious lopsided calls throughout the game though.

His might have been borderline, rodgers was blatant

I agree with the borderline on KA's potential grounding.  Most angles of KA's were pretty bad, but there was an angle from behind the QB where the referee was standing that showed the ball on a line in the direction of Jarius Wright.  It didn't get anywhere near him, but you could make a case that if the arm wasn't hit, it might have been intended for him.

Exactly, he tried to get it there, thats the whole point of non intentional grounding.

That all true but the refs had nothing to do with our D-line handing out rushing yards like Halloween candy and giving the the QB time to look through his treat bag.

He threw two that should have been safetys both with a defender in his face.

I understand why they do it, but the way the NFL treats and nudges things in favor of their sacred cows is absolutely infuriating at times. If you're not league royalty, you have no choice but to be unquestionably and decisively better on the day - because if things are about even, you will lose.

Yes both lines werent good honestly but kyle did good considering...the d on the other hand against the run was abysmal. However the secondary even with all the groin injuries stood stout besides 17 pulling in that amazing catch. The D did enough exspecially when we stopped them in their own endzone... The penalty was deflating but the score still was close regardless, if not for the refs wr probably win. Also the D came up big on that 4th down holding them to no pts, gotta give a little credit at least a D+.

IMO spiking the ball to stop the clock should be an intentional grounding call.

It honestly just makes you not want to watch the game anymore. It's just a shitty NFL product and the league doesn't care about making the game truly fair. Neither do the officials. You put in a new review rule and they just ignore it because they are indignant and petty.

Nah.  The reason grounding exists is to prevent QB's avoiding a sack that way.  With spiking the ball, the QB isn't trying to avoid a sack, he's just stopping the clock.  The loss of down is plenty of penalty for that.

Then run a route, and throw it over their head.  Just not a fan of the spiking rule.
