- 2:38Xavier McKinney criticizes the officiating in postgame locker-room footage.
- 3:15Rex Ryan argues that the roughing-the-passer penalties punish contact that should be part of football.
- 5:28Domonique Foxworth attributes Green Bay's loss to dropped passes and missed field goals, not officiating alone.
- 6:12The panel examines Dan Campbell's fourth-down decisions and Green Bay's failure to capitalize.
- 8:37Dan Orlovsky argues Jared Goff belongs in the MVP discussion because of his high-level play-action passing.
Can the Packers blame the officials for their loss to Detroit? Get Up offers a forceful complaint, then a pointed answer from Domonique Foxworth: the flags aren't the whole explanation.
The discussion follows locker-room footage of Green Bay safety Xavier McKinney criticizing the officiating. Rex Ryan takes particular issue with a roughing-the-passer call. "However, this is a contact sport, and the roughing the passer call is ridiculous," he says.
Adam Schefter also questions the standard of officiating, but Foxworth brings the conversation back to opportunities Green Bay could control. "They missed field goals and dropped passes, that's the reason why they lost the game."
That tension has drawn an unusually large audience for NFL on ESPN: about 180,000 views in 15 hours, already far beyond a regular upload's usual full-day audience. The comment section is more than twenty times as busy as a typical first day. Viewers discuss making penalties reviewable, point to intentional grounding and roughing calls, and debate how much responsibility belongs to the Packers themselves.
It is not the channel's only briskly watched postgame discussion. First Take's examination of Seattle's win over Kansas City, featuring Stephen A. Smith and Dan Orlovsky, also drew an unusually fast audience.
The Packers-Lions segment eventually moves beyond the whistles. The panel examines Dan Campbell's fourth-down decisions, while Orlovsky makes an MVP case for Jared Goff built around his play-action passing. Foxworth adds another distinction: play action shouldn't be treated as a shortcut that erases the quarterback's skill.

At this point just make flags reviewable that’s the only way

@willtimlinSee it on YouTubeI mean put the replay to good use. It would make sense if calls can be reviewed anytime..
