| The Controversial Call |
Winning actually isn't the only thing was the perfect title
to this piece, David Maraniss did a great job on this section. When he starts
off the story he draws you in with a fact about the Packers that most people hadn't known nor did they pay any
attention to it in the news prior to the game. In respect to the refs Maraniss
doesn't blame the loss on them like everyone else here in Packer nation but
onto Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson for the way they were only happy that they
had won the game. He flipped the tables of what everyone saw but didn't pay
attention to just as he did in the opening statement. I loved Maraniss' detail
about how the game made him feel, how he couldn't sleep at night, allowing the
readers to be at his same level of emotions.
I agree
with what David Maraniss said. Personally I didn't watch the game but I think if
you didn't watch it and have Twitter or Facebook you knew exactly what happened
and the emotions felt by your closest friends. As for the refs, I agree in the
fact it's not entirely their fault, they are college refs and definitely
there's a reason they aren't at such a high level. The coach of Seattle and
Russell Wilson could have shown more class and expressed their sympathy that
they had won on such a bad call. I believe the Packers would do such a thing.
Looking at the game from a different perspective is a good thing to do in this
type of situation. I think there
shouldn't be pointing at the refs anymore because the NFL should know just what
to do after a call made like that, they will lose fans which loses money and so
forth. It will be a waiting game to see what happens after this game if things
will start to see a change.
