I know this is a knee jerk reaction. But I was ready to boycott after the terrible PI and roughing the QB call that gave Seattle a chance to win the game. What do you guys think?

This is the first time I have ever felt gutted by a sport. I have never watched a sport that I truly care about have an event happen one way and be called in the complete opposite direction, then be reviewed, and still have the call be blown. I'm going to boycott the NFL until the real refs are back or Goodell sacks up and overturns this win.

The "real" refs aren't that much better. Yes, they probably wouldn't F a game up like this, but who knows? The "real" refs also gave the Patriots a victory in the tuck rule game.
When it comes to roughing the passer calls, unnecessary roughness calls, phantom holding calls, excessive pass interferences calls, etc, the "real" refs make just as many dumbass calls.
Referreing in the NFL has been a problem for awhile.

Playoff game I'm probably on a shooting spree...but it's week 3.
I'll boycott if the team does.

I'm taking a pass on Sunday's game. I can't stomach it in me to care after an unbelievable screwjob like tonight's game.

So maybe if we get even worse refs...

Not sure yet. Right now I'm leaning towards watching because the ineptitude of the officiating is fun to watch for me but I probably won't be emotionally invested at this point. At the end of the game I had kind of lost much emotional investment because it was so bad so I'm not as angry as I would have been in the past.

The tuck rule game they made the right call though. It was just a bad rule.

FWIW, I don't know if I'd call it a boycott, but I think it's drained enough of my enjoyment out of the watching that I'll probably do something more fun next weekend.

i willobviously check the score at the end of each weekend, but until this strike is over I will not be watching any NFL games, I still cannot believe what happened at the end of this game.

Really? After how bad they have been, it was really just a matter of time. I'm just disappointed that it was the Packers that lost the game because of it.

I was one of the few optimistic ones who thought that maybe, just maybe the replacement refs would get better as time went on and they got more game experience, but instead they are regressing and just cost my favorite team a game lol so that was easily the final straw for me

How many times have we said we're done with the Bucks only to bitch about the franchise in the next game thread?
