Packers survive; Saints dive – Packers News @ PFT

Green Bay gets crucial victory as New Orleans fades away

GREEN BAY – A dozen games from now as the 12-4 Packers prepare for the playoffs, the week that was will stand as more than a footnote to this season. It will be the week that was many things, including …
** The week that reminded everyone why receiver James Jones is so valuable to the Packers. Jones had touchdown catches of 12 and 14 yards, as well as a crucial grab for a first down on the final drive. While Greg Jennings battles injuries, Jones has stepped up in a big way and was instrumental in Green Bay’s 28-27 victory over the Saints.
This week will be remembered as …
** The week that the Packers’ locker room was galvanized by an extraordinary shared experience. They were the victims of replacement referees – on Monday Night Football, no less – a circumstance that hasn’t happened to many NFL teams. The Packers are among the few, and it could have elicited many negative responses from the team.
Mostly, after a 24-hour cooling off period, the Packers followed head coach Mike McCarthy’s lead and handled themselves with dignity. They didn’t make excuses. They got their minds on New Orleans.
They did what good teams do after a tough loss. They learned from it and moved on. The mediocre teams simply move on, and the bad teams? Well, they point fingers and place blame.
The Packers did neither in the aftermath of the “Inaccurate Reception.”
The offense and Aaron Rodgers looked like its old explosive self. Rodgers threw for four touchdown passes despite being gouged in the right eye midway through the third quarter. Cedric Benson piled up 84 yards in 14 carries while giving a semblance of a running threat. Jordy Nelson grabbed eight passes, and Randall Cobb showed his quickness while being used creatively.
Defensively, the Packers did enough to outlast Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense. Brees brought the Saints back after the Packers’ backup quarterback, Graham Harrell, fumbled inside the New Orleans’ 5. Brees promply marched the Saints to a touchdown and a 24-21 lead. Kicker Garrett Hartley extended the lead to 27-21 early in the fourth quarter.
That’s when Rodgers capped a seven-play, 57-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Nelson, who bulled his way into the end zone.
Green Bay’s defense did enough from there to capture the win.
This week will be remembered as …
** The week that McCarthy proved willing to trust his special teams by calling a fake punt deep in his own territory and early in the game. Fullback John Kuhn lined up as the personal protector, received the direct snap, and rushed off left guard for a first down.
The call is gutsy, but more than that, it’s good football. McCarthy and special teams coach Shawn Slocum reacted to what they saw on film. When the situation presented itself in the game, they pounced on the opportunity. The Packers’ special teams have improved more than any of the units this season.
This week will be remembered as …
** The week that a sense of normalcy returns to the Packers as they gather themselves for a tough stretch featuring three straight road games.
The Packers are battle tested after a week that saw them overcome not one, but two really poor calls that could have cost them the Saints game. The catch given to Marques Colston was ridiculous, and Darren Sproles clearly fumbled while returning a kickoff in the fourth quarter.
Still, Green Bay persevered and prevailed.
They have the Indianapolis Colts and rookie quarterback Andrew Luck in their sights, and they have a difficult but important week behind them.
Last week’s prediction: Packers 35, Saints 24 (Packers, 28-27)
Season: 2-2
This week’s prediction: Packers 35, Colts 10

Green Bay loses game, NFL loses credibility amid replacement fiasco

GREEN BAY – The shield is tarnished; the brand is diluted.
The National Football League is a defective product so long as it allows unqualified officials to oversee its billion-dollar industry. The league’s “Buyer Beware” attitude toward its fans is beyond thankless.
It is heartless.
Sadly, the saddest chapter in this sorry affair is still to be written unless – and it’s a big unless – the NFL decides to do the right thing and bring back the regular referees. To do anything else is to guarantee that the Seahawks’ 14-12 victory over the Packers on Monday night is merely the latest step down the path of officiating ineptitude.
While Patriots’ fans undoubtedly wish the uprights could be raised, Packers’ fans have no doubt the crossbar has been lowered.
Football’s beauty is its sense of fair play. The better team (almost always) wins because football is the ultimate team game. It is intended to be a pretty simple deal. It’s 11-on-11; it’s 10 yards for a first down; it’s six points for a touchdown.
It isn’t supposed to be 3 yards and a cloud of disgust.
It is supposed to be fun.
There was nothing fun about the Packers’ alleged loss at Seattle, or the tragic comedy of replacement referee errors that occurred along the way.
Packers’ linebacker Erik Walden’s penalty for “roughing the passer” stood as the game’s poorest call, but only briefly, because it was quickly superseded by cornerback Sam Shield’s “pass interference” penalty.
A correct call in either case would have assured a Packers’ victory.
Instead, the Packers got “Strike one!” followed by “Strike two!” before being floored with “Strike three!”
Seahawks’ receiver Golden Tate didn’t catch the football for a game-clinching touchdown at the end. Tate caught the Packers’ M.D. Jennings, who had two hands on the football for a game-winning interception. This wasn’t dual possession. It was game over.
What should have happened is this: The officials involved should meet with the referee, discuss what they saw, and get together on the call. It would have resulted in a touchback, which would have been upheld.
Instead, one of the officials hastily signaled “touchdown” despite having the poorer of the two viewpoints. At that instant, the NFL’s credibility took a blow to the gut, the Packers lost a game they should have won, and more than $150 million changed hands in Las Vegas.
It is time for Green Bay Packers fans to take a stand.
In the name of Lombardi, the Packers’ owners/shareholders should call upon the NFL’s other owners to do the right thing. Last night’s game should be viewed as an opportunity to let the league know that its fans – especially its fans in Green Bay – aren’t going to take it lying down.
Why does Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones have a say in the league’s negotiations with the referees, but the Packers’ shareholders do not? If the Cowboys got jobbed the way the Packers did on Monday night – and it still could happen – do you think Jones would go quietly?
The Packers’ fans need to say, “Enough is enough.”
The shield needs to be polished; the brand needs to be strengthened.
It is time for the NFL to fairly and effectively negotiate with the regular referees and dispense with the lockout. The league can chalk it up to the cost of doing business, and then it can tell fans, “We did it for you.”
It’s the NFL’s story. It can spin it however it wants, so long as it spins it with the regular referees moving forward.
Last week’s prediction: Packers 27, Seahawks 24 (Seattle 14-12)
Season: 1-2
This week’s prediction: Packers 35, Saints 24 (replacement refs nothwithstanding)

Grantland: The Straw That Broke the NFL's Back

| 09/25/2012
[mm-insert-title before=’

‘ after=’

‘] Bill Barnwell at Grantland has an excellent piece on not just the Packers loss last night, but the replacement referees in general:

It’s that aspect of replacement referee performance that’s really come to surprise me over the first three weeks of the season. To be honest, it’s not exactly unexpected that the officials would screw up on judgment calls like pass interference or, say, simultaneous possession on a catch. They’ve been worse there than I expected, but that was always going to be the aspect of their performance where their lack of experience would stand out.
Instead, the officials have shown an incredible propensity for getting simple facts wrong. They mis-spot balls on the wrong side of the field. They forget to keep accurate track of how many timeouts each team has. They call for fumbles on plays in which a guy’s entire body was down on the ground and then whistle plays dead on clean strips. They incorrectly award touchdowns and interpret pylon rules on plays that are directly in front of them. It’s a miracle that we don’t see more accidental “12 men on the field” penalties, because it seems generous to assume they can count all the way up to 12. And for all the exposition of an Ed Hochuli, who doesn’t long for the days of detailed minutiae when the replacement refs announce a mysterious penalty or review reversal, don’t explain what happened or who was involved, and then bounce back onto the field to renew the game? It’s telling that, at the end of the Patriots-Ravens game, a reasonably large portion of independent observers assumed that the referees standing directly underneath the goal post weren’t qualified to judge the one thing they were supposed to be judging.
…
At this point, it’s become time for the league to put its tail between its legs, apologize profusely, and ask the locked-out referees to come back under a deal of the NFLRA’s choosing. There’s no reason the referees should accept the same terms they would have offered two weeks ago; after a weekend dominated by the replacements, the real referees have more leverage than they had even a week ago. In fact, the only reason the league might want to push an agreement back further is that they have no leverage whatsoever. It’s hard to imagine the replacements being quite as noticeably bad as they were this week.

The whole article can be found here and is well worth the read.

Masthay gets rewarded for TD Pass

| 09/19/2012
[mm-insert-title before=’

‘ after=’

‘] Packers punter Tim Masthay has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week in each of the last two seasons because of the way he kicks the ball.
The NFL announced that he’s being honored for the third time in as many years this week, but his kicking has nothing to do with it. Masthay’s most notable moment of Green Bay’s 23-10 win over the Bears last Thursday night came via his arm.
With the Packers leading 3-0, Green Bay faced a fourth-and-26 situation at the Chicago 27-yard line in the second quarter. The Packers lined up for a field goal but executed a fake. Masthay, who holds for kicker Mason Crosby, threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tom Crabtree, opening up a bigger lead for Green Bay and sending them on their way to their first victory of the season.
Masthay is the first Packers punter to throw a touchdown pass since 1972. He also punted five times with a net average of 42 yards and, most importantly when playing the Bears, no touchdowns for Devin Hester. He is the first punter in league history to be named his conference’s Special Teams Player of the Week in each of his first three seasons.
