Packers will jump right on up that list if they add a penalty for having no one within 5 yards of the eligible receiver.

To be fair those numbers are skewed by having to play the dirtiest team in football, the Detroit Lions, twice a year.

Fortunately the refs are here to ensure the Lions misdeeds are appropriately punished. Detroit should probably stop breaking so many rules if they ever want to compete though.

So, your theory is there is an NFL-wide conspiracy in favor of the Pack?

thats completely ridiculous we can all agree that its significantly more likely that the packers have been able to find 52 guys who are good at drawing penalties every year for nine straight years. that's a real skill. its definitely real.

I know your being ironic but this is actually much more possible.

It’s also much more possible the refs just can’t see green and yellow

yeah, if the packers dont win the super bowl every year it is FAR more likely they have secret scouts who know how to acquire players who are good at drawing penalties but only when they play for the packers

the idea that theres a league wide conspiracy is loving ridiculous. guys being good at drawing penalties when they wear one particular jersey is not remotely ridiculous

People love to root for the underdog with all those teams cheating against the Green Bay Packers.

It’s really troubling that we aren’t discussing how the Packers are the most-wronged team in the NFL on 3rd and 5+.

The refs have yet to turn over any pass interference challenges. They are pretty much giving the owners that voted the rule in a middle fingee. I dont think its too far fetched for there to be a little influence on games. Kinda like the Pats benefitting from two tripping calls.

I've met some superstitious fans of other teams. None will surpass the packer fans who refuse to wear jerseys that they once wore and the packers lost, or "mom get back in the bathroom, the packers need this drive!"

i was being very facetious. and yes the pass interference challenge rate is like 2 out of the last 33 since week 4. also i am a lions fan and their record versus the refs is pretty bad, im aware of how well that squad has been built

Looks like you're very angry that you too cannot be the owner of a successful NFL franchise, for an amount no Packer fan would even glance twice at because Packer fans are very successful individuals.

Instant replay is a failed experiment. They should abandon it altogether to speed up the pace of play.

Incorrect calls are part of all sports. If nothing else, they are something for the loosing side to complain about on Monday.... more fun then yet another rant about their current QB/coach.
