Packers whining about replays in the Falcon stadium?

[Stcloudangler]

On Mike and Mike this morning, there was a spot about McCarthy complaining the replays were too slow on the jumbotron when they played the Birds last time. Um, hello? This isn't exactly breaking news here for a visiting team. This is done in every stadium in the NFL.

They were pretty much laughing at this story and said get better people upstairs.

[masterpuppet]

Packers whinning? NO i don't believe you?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Not the Pack.

[RiverFish]

Nice thing about it though is that we are having the chance to complain while still in the playoffs.

Go Pack.

[harvey lee]

Sounds the like complaining has begun.

Geez, at least wait until the game is over and then whine.

[mrklean]

yep a vikes fan whining about the pack cause they have nothing better to do

[FISHINGURU]

Roids do wonders!!

[CJH]

Genetics & hard work do wonders!!

Fixed it for ya!!

I love this thread. Losers whining about winners. Priceless.

[flipper]

Those who bleed purple have several years of whining ahead of them.

. . . and behind them.

Looks like Foss is getting his shots in before the game this weekend.

[FISHINGURU]

The size of his melon gives it away.

It's laker opener this weekend. Gonna be kinda busy so I thought I'd shoot while the environment is still target-rich and I have time to aim. Course, when the targets are this big, shooting offhand is all a fella needs to do.

And here I thought the OP was stating what a Packer stated. Does not seem to be Losers bringing this up but just maybe the winners are forseeing thier own future.

No sore loser Viking fan here as I could care less who loses to the Pat's.

Yeah, it's not even fair most days.

[Trainman]

Guys have been bellyaching about this all over NE WI where I live the last week.

Funny thing is the EXACT same thing came out after the Sunday night game against the Vikings, when Childress was ticked about the delayed feed after GB's drop called for a TD that he didn't get to review.

Conclusion? packer fans and their coach are losers just like Childress.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

[Stcloudangler]

Yeah, thats pretty much all I was trying to get at, that the point of crying about it is stupid. Doesn't have much to do with the fact that I hope the Pack lose. I was thinking the same thing about chilly and the GB touchdown that really wasn't as well.

Packer faithful are a little on edge this week eh?

Or just having a lot of fun, as usual.

This is a problem in the NFL, not just for the Pack in Week 12, but for all teams every season. Here is my three step solution:

1. At the conclusion of the previous play, the side judges time off 40 seconds simultaneously with the play clock. During that 40 seconds, each team has the ability to challenge the previous play. Whether or not the offense tries to hurry the next play does not matter. Both teams still have the full 40 seconds to throw the challenge flag. This will likely discourage the hurry-up behavior.

2. At the same time, with today's technology it should not be hard for the NFL to mandate that replays must be shown within 10-15 seconds of the previous play's conclusion. This guarantees 25-30 seconds of review/analysis for each team before deciding whether or not to challenge.

3. Turn over control of the in-stadium jumbotron replays to the NFL review booth. Have them show every replay so that the hometown team does not get to only show advantageous replays.

Problem solved with relatively no heartache.

Correct me if I am wrong, you want 40 seconds to be run off the clock to allow review. Then add the play clock time to get the next play off.

That could equal up to 60 seconds in between plays. So theoretically we could have 10-15 plays a quarter.

[walleyefisher0990]

i think he means you start them at the same time, and no matter what happens you have forty seconds to throw the challenge flag, even if they snap the ball. kinda makes sense, but you could get backed u a few plays i would think.

[zamboni]

Fans of a team that had to rely on about 3-5 different scenarios to even make the play-offs are funny. It's ok, someday you will win the division outright and clinch before week 17.

I crack myself up

[LightningBG]

Should the coaches really be relying on the jumbotron to figure out if they should challenge? Shouldn't there be someone upstairs for each team making that determination with their own replay feeds? We could always do no replays?

[zamboni]

Or be like Childress and challenge ones you aren't going to win, and don't challenge the no brainers.

Yeah, I miss him already. Maybe the Vikes could bring him back as a replay guy.
