The Packers were indeed robbed. The foul should have been called for the face mask... should have been a 15 yard penalty and a first down. Still... doesn't compare.

Nice logical argument M.

Being a Packer fan, I cans say I dont equate a play off loss with the holocaust. Glad I could clear up any confusion.

Its all good spirited debate. I appreciate the fervor with which Lee apparently views the matters of right and wrong, even if I disagree with some of his assessments.

what ? all a guy has to do is touch you with his pinkie FIRST and then he can slam you into next week ?

The League REALLY needs to re- think that penalty.

I don't get the logic by which they decide what can or cannot be called as a penalty at times. There must be some algorythm to it. I guess there are times when helmet to helmet contact could happen incidentally, but in that particular play the guy was actually leading with his head. It should have been called, but if I remember right it wasn't. The face mask should definitely have been called on the last play that resulted in the game winning fumble recovery / touchdown.
