I just "love" the calls where they actually have to make up a rule on the fly to screw us. Another famous made up rule years ago is when Tom Brady fumbled the ball away - but no no no.... they invented the tuck rule right then and there on the field. Now with the Dez catch and stretch and the made up 12 men in the huddle "rules" I'm getting burned out on how rigged the games appear.
Green Bay averages 7 penalties a game. Against us they had 2 penalties.
I can excuse that as nothing more than a coincidence.
But, the flag on Butler really irks me because:
1. It hasn't been called in TWO YEARS in the entire league.
2. At the very worse, if you read the rulebook, it should have been called a 12 men in the huddle penalty instead of the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
3. It's even iffy that it was a 12 men in the huddle penalty.
That's where things become suspect. Especially in a league where the refs have shown that they don't know all of the rules (even common penalties).
They had to dig up this penalty and just when we hit a big play. To me, it comes off as something the ref(s) premeditated and knew they could call when the time was right. And for Blandino to back up that call when it has been substantiated that the league told other teams that it was not the right call....all I will just say is that it's real fishy as to what is going on here.
And if that results in poor ticket sales and tanking ratings...the league gets what they deserve.
