That's the 2nd obvious fumble I've seen taken away from a team in less than 24 hours. They took one away from Denver last night on an early whistle and now an easy overrule is taken away. Glad to see the refs are working at a high level!

nothing like a little home cooking

I went to the rest room and missed the explanation. What the heck happened?

They're showing it now. Jennings clearly fumbled it, but there was no call. They let the play go and the Giants recovered the fumble. One ref said it's a fumble, another said it wasn't. And now, Pereira says it's a judgment call. So even though there is clear video evidence, it's judgement call. Nice...

Here's the thing with the onside kick. If the Pack recover, McCarthy is a genius and the Pack have all the momentum. If the Giant recover, he looks like a fool. No one will say "if McCarthy goes for an onside kick here, it's a good decision because...". They want for the result; hindsight is always 20/20

I must be an 'ol fashioned traditionalist, because I find decisions like that to be abhorrent.

It's a gamble. The Pack just caught a very good break on the fumble ruling and went down and tied the game. An onside recovery puts the Giant's D right back on the field and a score by GB could really change the entire game.

If the Pack recovered, would you say it's a bad decision?

Yes.

I said the same in respect to the call against us in the SB.

It's fundamentally unsound. Brave, maybe, but stupid nonetheless.

If I rob a bank, you'd say it was stupid, right? What if I got away with it? Still stupid? Yes, still stupid.

I don't like calls like that because they are predicated upon luck.

Alright, that's fair. I just don't like it when people say something after they see the result. Anyone can make the right call when they know what the result will be

That fumble was ridiculous... I've seen waaay too many things go in the direction of the Packers this season. Raiders game-- Kickoff returner goes out of bounds but the Raiders challenge it, and the refs say "our replay equipment is malfunctioning, therefore the ruling on the field stands". I had NEVER seen that happen before, but it did for the Packers. Then this fumble. I don't like when teams need help to win.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By ProblChld32 · Posted

      I get the logic behind it , but imo the WRONG player was in the field it shouldn’t have been Sermon, he isn’t that good of a pass catcher. It should have been Goodson. I do agree that having you BEST weapon on the field during times like that. But JT had been making some bad plays, the bad drop (more so on AR than JT but you gotta catch those) and the fumble. I just don’t under understand why Goodson wasn’t in if we are in a clear passing situation. Goodson is the better receiver out of the two.

      Genuinely speaking did you actually think before typing this out? This was a terrible take ….NEXT!

      The idea that project QBs work out on anything other than a rare occasion is something to consider.   We’ve gone through a revolving door of QBs since Luck retired (with a few that were project QBs). Can’t blame fans for wanting to see something other than mediocre to poor play.

      It’s also possible that Shane is sending a message to JT: I’m not playing you in crucial situations if you don’t block. That’s a tough lesson to teach, especially in a game like last Sunday. But benching Taylor when he did makes more sense if there’s a message being sent than just wanting to give the backups a chance.

      The 33rd team just posted that Malik Willis was 3rd behind only Kyler Murray and Derek Carr for EPA per drop back. Again, the score abd box score do not tell the full story of this game. Willis moved the ball effortlessly though the air when he needed to. If they had really needed him to throw more, there’s no doubt in my mind he would’ve found success. The run defense is covering up just how awful this secondary is.
