That's great that they got this finally settled, but???? in 2010 the refs took Vincent Shincoe's TD from us when he caught in the end zone in what was at that time a huge game for us. To top it off, the refs admitted after the damage had already been done, that they screwed up that call. That sent our season in terrible tailspine, while it propelled the Packers to a Superbowl winning season. So with that being said, I hope even the regular refs get their act together and make the correct call after it's been reviewed!! Many sports commentators on radio and TV are saying that the Packers season could be at risk here, but I say "NO", that's the way it goes. We were robbed by the regular refs and no one complained after our season went downhill right?? So I don't want to hear at the end of the season if the Packers don't make it to the playoffs, or don't win the division that it was because of this game!!! One last note, we should been at their house that particular Sunday that I just mentioned, then we got wiped out by this same Packer team when we played on our turf. So you can think a bad call doesn't change a season??? of course it does, but that's the way it goes in the NFL. So please stop complaining Packer fans, including all sports commentators because I have no sympathy for you!!!!!

If Marion had put 35 points on the scoreboard it would not have mattered now would it?

Yes, it's not a coincidence that the Vikes are currently in first place. Obviously, the pseudorefs were not aware of the Great Minnesota Referee Conspiracy (GMRC), that has affected all Minnesota sport since Drew Pearson pushed off Nate Wright in the Cowboys loss of 1975. Now we get back the real refs who will once again make the GMRC whole, and the Vikes' descent into last place will be the result of coordinated bad calls against the purple the rest of the season.

Apparently it's just me but I didn't see the call in the Packers game to be such a travesty. I looked at highlites from all possible angles I could find and the Seattle guy did come to the ground with his arms around the ball. It was called a TD as a simultaneous catch goes to the offense, so to overrule, there has to be undisputed evidence. I've seen much worse calls and replay calls from the "regular" refs than the one the other night. Get over it people.

Thankfully the Vike's win against SF has no lingering questions attributing their win to bad calls by the refs. Vikes played very well and the only questionable calls by the refs were in favor of SF and not the Vikes. They clearly won the game "fair and square".
