Idiotic frakkin refs.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/11/sports/football/11cardinals.html?ref=sports

Photographic PROOF of Aaron Rodgers getting face masked at the end of the game!

SHould have been a 15 yard penalty instead of the end of the game!

2. Obviously God stayed the hand that would have thrown the flag.
on behalf of His elder son Kurt Warner (Tebow is the other, of course).

:sarcasm:

4. God was punishing the Packers.

3. Wouldn't that have been after the turnover?
The fumble would have still counted, wouldn't it?

5. IIRC, the face mask began slightly before the turnover..
It would have been 15 yds and an automatic first down.

6. Yeah, you're right, I watched a clip on NFL.com.
It was a definite facemask, and it happened before the ball was recovered, and it even twists his head down. It should have been called. I didn't even see it the first time through with the whole uproar of the touchdown. You can see the official right behind Rodgers, and you can see his eyes following the ball, and the way Rodgers is turned you can see why he wouldn't have seen it.

There were a couple times Rodgers got mugged, then. There was an earlier play where the Packers were called for holding, negating a completion, and Rodgers got driven to the turf well after he released the ball, and it didn't get called.

7. Turnabout is fair play.
The Cards got screwed outta a SB win last year cause of the refs.
