Is It Clear?

We need a Donaghy-like scandal to get exposed in the NFL. Until that happens, the league will continue to be full of schizophrenic officiating, and not just against us.

We simply have to play cleaner than the other team. I hate that Roger has done this to the NFL. I really do. It puts extra pressure on us. And we're not the only team suffering from a league bias.

Good win today. Nice job by the entire organization. Way to keep your heads up in an environment that is clearly stacked against you.

What are you stupid?
Of course we have to blame the refs.

Reread through it.

Yeah GB being at the top is not surprising, this is a very mediocre team that refs have pushed into 8-3 record when they probably no better than 6-5 if not 5-6 record.

Its interesting how Chicago their was only 4 penalties, obviously trying to push GB further. Minnesota seems to be part of the problem to, this link is self explanatory and gives you an idea of who you dont want to play in the playoffs, especially if you on the road against them.

The numbers shown in that link, at face value, don't really tell the story. It could easily just mean that the Saints are undisciplined. When you watch a game like yesterday, and you see the Panthers getting away with the same crap that was being called against the Saints ALL DAY, and how many calls came in the most critical of moments, then you understand how biased it appears to be.

And nothing will come of it. As always.

It be interesting to see if stats exist on non-calls, but I doubt they do.

Require alot of film study and work just for 1 game.

I also curious on how officials under alot of scrutiny fare game to game and what is called. Like last years officials in the NFCCG, how have they looked this year?

"It wasn't our best game. It wasn't their best game, and quite honestly it wasn't New York's best game," Payton said after Sunday's game, referring to the NFL replay review team.

OUCH. I love it when Payton lays it out there like that.
