Rodgers (pending disciplinary action)

[Sperrydogg]

I was listening to an interesting debate about the PI rule. The debate was that the current spot-of-the-foul rule gives refs too much power in either deciding the outcomes or changing the momentum of games, especially on a call that has a certain degree of subjectivity/discretion to it. The debate was whether the NFL should make it a 10 or 15 yard penalty like it is in college. I know there are decent arguments on both sides of it, but I found myself slightly leaning toward changing the rule to a yardage penalty from the previous line of scrimmage, rather than a spot-of-the-foul penalty.

Yardage penalty would just open the door for more PI on long plays. Now if a guy gets 3 pi or something like that he fouls out of the game… that would change it

So Rodgers gets no fine.

Feels like there's going to be a massive reckoning for whoever loses this game. Coaching change. Possibly also a referendum on DK. He threw his team under the bus with that suspension when they needed him most (no idea what the fan said but you cant react)

Don't get why so many here ride Rodger's jock so hard. We're like the only team that's owned him in his career and still there's posts whining about him...in spite of the refs too! How about acting like we're his boss (like we are)?

My dad is head of the officiating association for Washington State. He controls High School football referee's for the entire state. He's been an official since 1972 and been the head since sometime in the early 2000's. He's had officials move up to college and one or two have gone to the pro's over the years. Craig Wrolstad is one that's he's known from over the years. He has told me that at the pro level an official can make $20,000 per game just for the regular season. It seems in a 18 game season they do pretty well for themselves as is.

I watched a program on NFL referees years ago and one thing I noticed is that the refs ( at least the ones featured) were all very well off and established professionally and financially.Lawyers , business owners etc. with spotless pasts.

I guess that rules me out. I wanted to fight Hochuli
