In fairness the defense played relatively well. They held a leauge MVP QB to 199 yards in the passing game. Our offense put them in a tough position right off the bat on our first drive with the INT. And our running game wasn't good enough to give anybody enough time to take a break. I am still heated about the officiating though. And I refuse to lay off of that. We were flagged nine times yesterday for nearly eighty yards. They were flagged five times in comparrison for less than thirty yards in total. Between the two blatant defensive holding and pass interference plays that Shields got away with on Robinson in the first half, and the fact that Green Bay didn't get flagged at all for offensive holding makes me sick. Even the commentators were wondering when a fair game would be called. Robinson was mugged more than twice. Greene got jacked on the final drive of the game. Joeckel got a holding call that was ridiculous as well. We got shafted. I am not saying we're a better team than Green Bay by any means. But what I am saying is that going forward, I hope to see games being called more fairly and balanced this season.

 

When you lose by four points. It's tough. But when you look at the missed calls on Robinson in the first half. It's a difference maker. You're talking about the potential of getting six or seven more points before halftime instead of settling for three on one drive. You may also eat up enough clock to where Rodgers doesn't get that chance with Adams to go up 17 - 14 before half time as well. That's why it's huge that those penalities get flagged. He also straight up arm bared Robinson on a nice sideline route and pass to where he could only use one of his hands to get the football. That was another blown no call that sets up in the first half into their territory. It's just frustrating.
