Yeah, well I get the feeling had they called a facemask he would have been supported as well.

Maybe and maybe not but as I stated before, there were similar situations like this it was not called. And you can disagree all you like, but that is a fact. And even the announcers have made note of this which normally they all do a terrible job explaining rules that have some nuance.

Too many fans are relying on the officials to bail them out. The fact is this game rested on the shoulders of Rogers. He is the one that fumbled the ball, not the referee. Had he not fumbled the ball, the outcome could have been different. The grasping of the facemask was not the reason the Packers lost. You can go back on look at some of the past Official Review segents where there was a flag thrown for this very same type of grasping of the facemask. As I recall, Mike P. disagreed with the flag on those. The reason for the rule is if the players neck is twisted, pullled, or turned in a way that he could possibly be injured. Rogers was not put in a position to where is safety was at risk. A general question here: When was the last time a player was ever injured as the result of even a major facemask foul?

No! I'm completely SHOCKED to see this coming from Packer fans.

Posting this type of crap is what people talk about when they call you a troll.

Yep, the field judge should have detected the facemask.

Move along, FanBoy
