because they need to for saying ronnie was short of the first down in real time, and after looking at the replay in slow motion over and over again when he clearly got a first down. that made me sick!

That was a botched call. I think it's funny that Packers fans are blaming the refs when they clearly got some calls.

That was terrible. It was so obvious on the replay too. Of course Hochuli is involved...

there should be disciplinary action when they make bad calls after challenges. that could have cost us the game.

It was a bad call, clearly Ronnie had the first down. No doubt about that.
My only wonder is, did hochuli maybe not properly explain why the call on the field stood? If I remember correctly from the replay, you could never see the ball. You could see Ronnie was over, but you couldn't see the ball because his back was turned to the camera. Could Hochuli have maybe upheld the ruling on the field due to inconclusive video evidence? Its possible I think. Have to see the replay. If thats the case, I guess he made the right call, but thats the problem with the system sometimes.
Anyone have a clip of the replay?
NFL.com has the replay.
My assumption is there was no clear visual evidence because you couldn't see the ball... he said "the call stands" not "the call is confirmed"...
Just my assumption though, I thought he had the first clearly.
they spotted the ball wherever it was when ronnie's hand was down (his elbow never touched. he kept going and his knee eventually touched while the ball was well passed the first down marker.
It was a quick challenge too...I don't recall them showing the replay before the final ruling.
There was a commercial break. The game doesn't freeze when we go to commercial ya know...

the whole thread is about rodgers not getting penalties for us hitting him. lol. in my opinion this never happened. what did happen was rodgers crying the whole game for no reason! even when our player hit his helmet with his helmet, he hit him in the chest first. the only post in that thread that was worth reading was when someone said, "you guys are missing the point, why is rodgers getting hit so much"! lol. or something like that.

i meant to say, in my opinion there was never a hit on rodgers that warranted a flag.
Oh, I know, but the point I was making is that you can never see the ball through the replay. Sure we can all assume where Ronnie is holding the ball it should be a first down, but if the refs can't see it, they can't call it that way. Have to have video evidence or whatever they call it :lol:
After watching the replay again, thats really what I think happened during the review. he didnt have inconclusive video evidence to over turn it because you can never see the ball. Speculation sure, but... yeah whatever, we won. :up:
The starks one was close to being late, not much Starks could have done though as he was already in mid flight coming in for the hit. Only part of it that could be questioned is whether he lead with the helmet or not. I know the commentators seemed to think he did. Either way, I didnt think so, I thought it was a clean hit, close to late, but not quite.
He was crying for flags from the beginning. I think the very first hit Wake or whoever put on him, he stayed down on the ground holding his head. Pretty good acting but not good enough.

Probably right about that but my question to the ref is where did he think Brown had the ball? Stuffed in his leg pads? Because every other part (above his legs) of his body was a yard past the marker.

During the week, the NFL reviews the games and grades the referees. Hochuli’s crew will take a hit from blowing this call.

the refs handed victories to a couple of teams today (texans) and they almost handed it to the packers. thank god we won and overcame the refs

Soccer fans would be proud of Rodgers acting or should we say crying skills.
The call on Brown was clearly blown .
Its hard to believe that Hochuli is rated among the best refs :pity:.
