NFL Week 2 Notes: The league needs more info before Rodgers can be pushed, so kiss your sister -- and a halftime retirement???

  • Hope you all enjoyed that production from Lambeau today. That was rigged for overtime, and then again rigged for a tie.
Roughing the Passer reared it's ugly head twice -- once leading to a Packer field goal in the first half, and then the big one, Clay Matthews getting Rodgers Rule'd to set up the tying 8 which got us to overtime.

And look at the vid on Deadspin and tell me that isn't going to get him a fine, same way as the other two bullshit Rodgers Rule bullshits.

Can't seem to embed the .MP4 -- vid's at the link.

Tony Corrente, the referee, actually called Matthews for lift and drive into the ground...

And you want to tell me these games are legit?

And then the kicker for the Vikings shanks THREE field goals, none close...

OK, the two from 48 and 49 could be somewhat excused, right-hash, wide right.

But then he completely shanks a 35 yard centered one for the draw...

A draw, Deadspin reports, that is an NFL first.  It is the first game in NFL history to end 29-29.

So, since it's clear, at least to date, the NFL is fucking the Vikings, why not put the Pack over?

Because they don't know if the knee will hold up 16 weeks.  Come back to us Week 12 when the two teams rematch in Minnesota.  The tie also means a Chicago win over Seattle on MNF would put the Khalil Mack-led Bears closer than if either team had won.
  • Vegas wins again:  Entering MNF, the favorites are 4-11 against the number.
  • And a shocking twist of the decaying situation in Buffalo.  
Vontae Davis did THIS at halftime...  He retired from the NFL, with the injuries and violence the main reason, in the middle of a regular-season NFL game!!!
I want anyone from Football Nation America to continue to justify their viewing of this sport as their lifeblood after THIS alone.
