Is it wrong to enjoy hearing Seahawks fans complain about bad/missed calls, cuz I sure am enjoying it.

[rocket surgeon]

Then they're idiots.

then what are those 49'ers?  racists?  why didn't they or why don't they re-offer him a contract at less money?

Did they lose cause of missed calls?  No, they lost cause the Packers D played exceptionally.  However, the call on the pick 6 was awful and would have definitely changed the face of the game a bit.

Speaking of, 2 terrible personal fouls in the Vikings game already.  Might as well put a red jersey on QBs.

Given the state of quarterbacking in the league these days, I'm not sure that's such a terrible idea. Got to protect the 15 or so guys who can play the position.

I'll admit that I was critical of Kaepernick's protest because "nothing was being accomplished." However, it's hard to argue that his taking a knee didn't contribute to the scene of unity in Cleveland yesterday. While I still think Kap was ill-prepared and botched his protest's aftermath, he still deserves credit for getting the ball rolling.

Agree completely. But, if I could add this, it was new territory for Colin, so to expect him to protest and then follow it up in the right way would be pretty hard, since we don't really know what the right way was.

If Colin Kaepernick was a little better quarterback he would be on an NFL roster.

If Colin Kaepernick wasn't the face of kneeling during the national anthem he would be on an NFL roster.

Both of these statements are true.

The only "call" worse than the clip and the ejection was the no call on the blatant PI on Graham in the end zone. It's possible Seattle still settles for 3 even with the call, but it's also possible that the officials took 11 points of the board for Seattle in an 8-point loss. Lambeau magic strikes again but at least the calls went against a very hateable Seattle team 

As for MNF, I couldn't believe there was a roughing the passer call on a one-man sack. I didn't think that was possible.

Tough to argue with that.

While my initial thought was that was interference for sure in the endzone, I may have changed my mind somewhat.  What one sees on replay is the receiver pulling Brice's head physically toward him to 'force' contact.  Was Brice face guarding? Yep.  But maybe the ref thought that most of the initiating was being done by the receiver to try to force a flag.  There was a late back shoulder throw to Jordy where they got tangled but I though it a very good no call too.  Anyway, I hate Seattle so no worry on my end.

The roughing the passer that the Vikings got for "going low" on Brees.  The defensive player would have literally had to throw his hands out to his side and land on his face to not make that foul.  Just silly overreactive rule making by the league.

I kinda love the Packers tonight, lot of good angles playing in their favor I feel. Revenge game, Falcons home opener in new stadium (over amped up), better Pack D than a year ago, regression for Falcons.

Okay, the Glennon experiment was fun but thats about all I can take. Time for Trubisky.

My prediction is at home in week 5.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Or maybe he gets in there today....

[DegenerateDish]

We will see Trubisky today.

[DegenerateDish]

I don't know why you don't get Trubisky some reps, especially down 29 in the fourth. Even if he's just going to handoff, let him see the field.

[MerrittsMustache]

Why? There's no point. Once they go to Trubisky there's no turning back. Once he goes in, he's the guy going forward.

He might have got killed? Why run out your future to play with that bunch? Brutal. Fox will be gone by week 6.

Whats the point of playing Glennon when everybody knows its eventually going to be Trubisky's team? They sure as hell didn't trade up just to have him sit on the bench or get traded...

Agreed.  But you need to make the change at the beginning of the week.  Just sending him out there to hand the ball off doesn't accomplish much.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Bears out scored 41-3 in 1st quarter in last seven games. Fox just said Glennon plays next week.

Line is also very banged up.
