PHOENIX — Although there wasn't widespread support for expanding the use of instant replay during the NFL Meetings this week — virtually every proposal was voted down by teams — Mike McCarthy still sees one area where the league should consider making a change: On potentially game-changing plays.

Even though the Green Bay Packers coach completely understands the slippery slope the league would find itself on if it allowed instant replay to be used on penalty plays, he also had one specific play in mind: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers' first-quarter interception in team's NFC Championship Game loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Rodgers lofted a pass to Davante Adams in the end zone despite tight coverage from Richard Sherman on the Packers' opening possession believing that Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett was offsides. As Rodgers said on his weekly radio show two days after the loss, "I think it's pretty evident on the film," and it was — Bennett was indeed offsides.

STFU Mike.

If you hadn't shit your pants in front of millions of people, you could say something like this. But as it stands, it makes you look like a bitch.

We left so many so many points on the field that game, it is really difficult not to think that game was thrown.

Anyhow, McCarthy is correct, as is Rodgers. The play should have been a free play for the Packers. Maybe they should have a 60 second timer that if it is not visually obvious to declare a ruling within 60 seconds, they just move forward? That won't slow the game down as much as a normal 4 minute commercial stuffing segment and gives more opportunities to have the correct call.

What I'm saying is, it comes across as a bitch move to complain about the officiating, when you cost yourself the game (with the SB) on the line by shitting yourself far, far worse than any and/or all of the officials combined in that game.
