commentary...

two days until the NFL season opener,between the Packers and the Seattle Seahawks,in Seattle... let me get you back to the "Fail Mary" game(week three;2012),in which Seattle won 14-12,the Packers' defense played very well,overall,that night... Seattle's offense was basically not functioning most of the night,until the last two drives of the night,when the replacement referees played the most critical part in the game,when the referees called some phantom penalties on the Packers' defense,including a defensive pass interference call that still bewilders me to this day,in which the Packers' cornerback were called for a penalty,when the coverage on the play appeared near perfect(player basically within the shirt of the offensive player,and no pushing of the offensive player,on a 4th down play)... there are nights that nothing goes right,but Seattle had two scoring plays,and a basic offense that did very little most of the night... remember the halftime score was only 7-0,Seahawks(a great touchdown pass,by Russell Wilson,the difference in the first half),even though quarterback Aaron Rodgers got sacked nine times(one called back by penalty),in the first half,and after the Packers dominated time of possession in the second half,getting twelve points,and then they lost on probably the most controversial play,since the "Tuck Rule" game,between the Oakland Raiders,and the New England Patriots,in 2001... let me remind that the NFL,within hours,signed the regular referees to a new contract,basically ending the NFL referee lockout,because the NFL got toasted by the ending of the game,by the media,and others... honestly,that game has very little to do the 2014 NFL season opener,but i wanted to revisit that game,just to tell you that the game,in two days,will be a very good game,period...
