Bill Leavy 'Downgraded'

Nice!

I'm a Roger basher, but this is a good move. Good on you, Roger.

Should've been kicked out of the league after XL...

So, the Packers get a bad call that turns out to not have even affected the outcome of the game, and the whole world goes nuts, and NOW Leavy is downgraded?

This needs to be in the shack for an appropriate response.

Don't mess with the Packers, refs.

Got to protect the NFL's favored brands.

Good news is, Russell Wilson's marketability will make the Seahawks a favored franchise, soon.

So he gets a slap on wrist??? The guy should have never called another game after XL*!

Been saying that for years. This is a "desired results" league. You just know Rog would love Dallas and Pissburg to be relevant again. I hate that the league has that mentality but the league owes us after XL*.

In any other profession people are held accountable for their mistakes, even if they try hard. Why should refs be any different? Or are you upset about something more subtler, like the timing?

And besides, again, that call ultimately hurt the NINERS, not the Packers, because it should have been first and goal at the 3 (no penalty should have been called on Staley).

I'm upset, as are the rest of us Seahawks fans, that this flippin' clown that threw Super Bowl XL in favor of the Steelers was allowed to go without penalty by the league until now. Not everything's about your 49ers.

Also, just in case you don't remember Super Bowl XL or think we're being facetious/not factual/whiny/whatever, here; take a look at the ESPN poll taken after XL.

Anybody read the article yesterday where NFL came out and said Greenbay actually benefited from the poor execution of rules (said no flag should have been thrown against Staley anyway) after Mathew late hit Kaep on his way out of bounds?

Pretty big copout from the NFL though I agree. Just in any other situation they would have never said squat about not needing to make the extra call - or something along the lines of 'if it's questionable they are told to make throw the flag, so good call no matter what'

Considering he admitted to it Hell yes.

How does replay third down instead of fourth down hurt the 49ers? It gave them two opportunities to get into the endzone instead of just one. I call bs.

I believe the league has said staley should not have been penalized and im fact clay should have gotten a 2nd flag for the altercation which wouldve been 1st n goal for sf

When asked if he was aware of the mistake, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said, "Yes. I mean, I'm aware of it now.

"Hey, that's part of the game. The ball doesn't always bounce your way."
