We Wuz Robbed!! Packers Lose on Last Play

First, I need to say that Liz and I are Packer fans UNLESS THEY PLAY THE BEARS.  That's why last Thursday's Bear destruction by the Pack was galling.

But, anyway, we were pulling for the Packers in last night's game (and I hate Monday Night games).  We were at Route 12 Bar in Fox Lake, Illinois, with a whole bunch of Bears fans, who, of course, were pulling rabidly for the Seahawks.  They say a real Bear fan would NEVER pull for the Packers.

And, we took grief that first half when we thought perhaps we were watching the Bears Cutler and o-line.  Rodgers seemed dazed and eight sacks, come one, even the Bears could get by with 7.  Those fans let us have it as we wore our Packer Super Bowl XLV shirts (when was the last Bear championship?  Something about a double "X").

They finally got untracked in the second half and had that 12-7 lead until that last play.  Those Seahawks are really good and I like that rookie qb, Wilson (who played with Wisconsin last year and NC State before that).  That Golden Tate got away with a very visible offensive pass interference when he pushed the Packer player down.  And then, after Jennings of the Packers intercepted, he managed to get his hand in on the ball and those refs called it a reception.

I have to admit that we didn't see it as it happened in that mob in the end zone, but clearly did on the many replays.  Too bad the refs couldn't.  And, they were able to see the replays as well.

There was no cheering from the Bear fans, though.  Just a lot of, "You guys were robbed."

Listening to 620 WTMJ Radio in Milwaukee this morning.  They're not happy.  They talked with a sportswriter from Seattle who admits the Packers got robbed.

Even Allen Vick of WNCT-AM, Greenville, NC, says he is wearing a Packer shirt today, even though he doesn't like them (he's a Redskins fan), "In honor of the Green Bay screw job."

And, We Wuz!  --RoadDog


As Hank Williams said, "There's a tear in my beer."  Cheeseheads are not happy.
