Every time he is about to get sacked he spikes it into the ground or near the back of the lineman, KA would not get away with this not to mention you cant touch the guy. I know this is a well known fact but im venting because id love to nock that s*** eating grin after every call he gets off his face.

We literally lost yesterday because the refs would rather call a phantom bullsh*t roughing the passer call, instead of an OBVIOUS intentional grounding in the endzone (that would have been a safety), which would have been 2 points AND the ball before the half. Lions got hosed in Lambeau, and we just got hosed in Lambeau. It's almost as worse as the superdome.

His night have been borderline, rodgers was blatant

I agree with the borderline on KA's potential grounding.  Most angles of KA's were pretty bad, but there was an angle from behind the QB where the referee was standing that showed the ball on a line in the direction of Jarius Wright.  It didn't get anywhere near him, but you could make a case that if the arm wasn't hit, it might have been intended for him.

Exactly, he tried to get it there, thats the whole point of non intentional grounding.

He threw two that should have been safetys both with a defender in his face.

That all true but the refs had nothing to do with our D-line handing out rushing yards like Halloween candy and giving the the QB time to look through his treat bag. 

Yes both lines werent good honestly but kyle did good considering...the d on the other hand against the run was abysmal. However the secondary even with all the groin injuries stood stout besides 17 pulling in that amazing catch. The D did enough exspecially when we stopped them in their own endzone... The penalty was deflating but the score still was close regardless, if not for the refs wr probably win. Also the D came up big on that 4th down holding them to no pts, gotta give a little credit at least a D+.

It honestly just makes you not want to watch the game anymore. It's just a shitty NFL product and the league doesn't care about making the game truly fair. Neither do the officials. You put in a new review rule and they just ignore it because they are indignant and petty.

IMO spiking the ball to stop the clock should be an intentional grounding call.

Nah.  The reason grounding exists is to prevent QB's avoiding a sack that way.  With spiking the ball, the QB isn't trying to avoid a sack, he's just stopping the clock.  The loss of down is plenty of penalty for that.

Then run a route, and throw it over their head.  Just not a fan of the spiking rule.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
