I'm confused on receiver giving himself up if he dives for a ball and sees a defender coming he catches the ball and goes down. If this is 1st play of game and nobody touches him he gets up and runs. The opposing team can than say receiver game himself up.If you watch the play the defender makes a gesture as if he messed up my touching him or was upset he was so wide open I dont know?
Should have never mattered anyway. That roughing the passer call against Denver was a horrible call in a day full of terrible officiating that changed games.
I am 100% convinced that the NFL has directed the officials not to grant pass interference challenges unless it is as obvious as the New Orleans fiasco last year. I saw at least two challenges denied for clear pass interference penalties not called and I am sure there were a couple more.

That is not the case in all of the games as the Vikes had a TD taken away on an offense PI.
Also to Schrock point of a player being able to get up and continue running and gaining yards. MN tackled a player trying to get up and was called for unneccesary roughness.
Another terrible call was Eagles 2 point conversion where Wentz dives for the end zone and makes it but he touched down about a foot short and then went in and was touched. Ruled he was giving himself up and whereever he touches is where he is down. You are diving head first into the endzone and that is giving yourself up? I had Atlanta in that game and it was still a bad call.
NFL is getting unwatchable with all of these ticky tack rules they have implemented.
Packer fans will tell you different but refs were making up for the Matthews call last year, Vikes shit all over themselves early and late but it was a one sided officiated game
there were two awful calls against the Bears yesterday.
Leonard Floyd got called for the same penalty as Chubb....while he was TACKLING A RUNNING BACK.
Eddie Goldman had a similar play to Chubb, only he landed on Flacco with less impact.
Chubb's call was bad but not even close to as bad the other two....the timing of it was awful or GREAT if you're a bears fan!

If you listen to players and coaches from both sides Vikings said it took them a half to make adjustments they weren't and couldn't be prepared 1st half cause there is no chart of tendencies what packers offense does.. Packers made them also but didnt execute. Let's take refs out of this vikings had 4 big plays whole game. The cook td run which savage missed the tackle, diggs td catch which Alexander misjudged very well could have intercepted bebes catch and 1 by thielen.take that out which you cant it's a dominating performance by packer defense. Packer offense when moving the ball had 2 fumbles 1 by allison and 1 by Rodgers otherwise this offense could have easily put up over 30 points. These fumbles gave vikings good field position which they didnt take advantage of. Why they threw the ball 1st and goal when running successfully made no sense. Last season thielen killed packers. Yesterday packer secondary got the better of viking receiving core.Also last year Rodgers would have went off script and game would have turned into a shootout.
Packers were the better team yesterday, see them dec 23 in Minneapolis, a lot can happen, I picked the pack yesterday and my typical Viking team does what it always does, chokes. There were a lot of plays the Vikes missed as well, Thielen open on a corner and Cousins missed a wide open Diggs on a deep corner? Diggs also dropped one hr may have housed. Been a Cousins apologist l, not anymore
