  1. Wasn’t a “blind side block” (shoulder blow to head) to Wilson on interception. I’m OK with Refs protecting QBs IF QBs stay out of the Big Boys games. FB is a collision sport………………..

  2. Blown call. Wilson sacked. Then late hit (if it wasn’t ruled a late hit they got it wrong.) Should have backed Seattle up another 15 yards. Next play Seattle gets a huge first down. Wow how did they miss this?

  3. Technically, GB caught a bit of break on A. Rodgers’ touchdown pass to R. Cobb. On the play, just after SEA-93 (O. Schofield) went into the neutral zone and beyond, GB-75 (B. Bulaga) reacted, starting to back up and pointing toward SEA-93 a fraction of a second before the snap. Since GB-75 was within the proper distance from SEA-93 and his movement would otherwise have been a False Start had SEA-93 not crossed into (and beyond) the neutral zone, the most correct call would have been Neutral Zone Infraction against SEA, not Offside, which would have caused the play to immediately be blown dead and (depending on the exact spot/measurement) either been 2nd-and-1 or (more likely) 1st-and-Goal for GB from the SEA 8-yard-line, rather than a free play which resulted in a touchdown. Admittedly, it is close, but GB-75 does move before the snap.

    Not that it affected the game, but in addition to NZI vs. Offside, the penalty against SEA was incorrectly called against SEA-72 (M. Bennett) rather than SEA-93 in real time. It remains SEA-72 in the official game logs.
