Even though it cost me a point in Pick 'em I have no argument with the facemask call. It was enough to move the helmet and move the chinstrap. That's a facemask. The defense on the "free" play was atrocious. They let Rogers get out of the pocket and had nobody defending at the goal line.

The official saw the guys hand touch the facemask, get under the facemask and Rodger's head turned. He had to make that call.

Even the Detroit player knew it right when it happened and he realized it was stupid because Rodgers wasn't going anywhere.

And I had to listen to my son all game? "WHY the heck did you pick Green Bay Dad?"

I smiled and said, "In the end son, it's ALL just sandlot football. ANYTHING can happen."


And it did. :D

The head turn really makes the case. The chin strap almost over Rodgers nose kind seals it.

I think Detroit had too many goal defenders. There were more Lions in the end zone than Packers and not enough pass rush pressure on Rodgers.

Did the Minnesota or the Minneota Vikings show up today? I guess it was the Minnesota Vikes cuz the Minneota Vikes are the Class A champs.

108 offensive yards. :facepalm:

Bring one home, Musky.

The crowd went crazy when Brown did that goal post hug. Tomlin was laughing, but not impressed. Said we would be discussing it for the next 6 days. Fun game to be at at watch!
