NFL worst calls: Packers get home cookin

Oh, the Packers are playing at home in primetime? Where should I start?

Finding this week’s worst calls could’ve been a segment entirely on the Green Bay Packers, and the benefits they receive from officiating crews on a weekly basis. Alas, I am not that mean, nor do I have such an obvious bias that I make said effort to highlight these referee decisions on a weekly basis.

Need more evidence? Alright, let me go through these calls one by one.

Holding flag picked up for some reason. Okay, cool.

No block in the back. Why, exactly?

And last but not least, the touchdown that could not be overturned because it was called short of the goal line on the field.

Those are the facts. The third is the most sketchy, of course. By no means can I guarantee that was the touchdown. However, it is my job to provide the evidence and let the reader decide whether I’m right, or completely full of it.

Official grade of the week: C+. For the record, that’s heading in the wrong direction. Just wait until Week 3.
