Those Facemask Calls Didn’t Always Go the Packers’ Way

Mostly by people unlike us. People from Detroit.

People who belong to a team that finds new and inventive ways to let them down week after week, year after year.

Well, we somewhat feel your pain. We’ve been there.

After the game, I immediately had an acid flashback to the 2009 playoffs.

The Packers went to Arizona to face the Cardinals in the Wild Card round that year, losing a 51-45 shootout. The game went into overtime and ended on a Karlos Dansby fumble return for a touchdown.

The fumbler was none other than Aaron Rodgers, who lost the ball when Cardinals cornerback Michael Adams obviously and egregiously grabbed his facemask.
