NEW YORK (AP) -- Comments on the Green Bay Packers by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):
---
GREEN BAY PACKERS (7)
Chris Berman (ESPN, 7) - Don't know what to say.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 6) - I don't consider that a loss Monday night, and still consider the Packers one of the league's better teams.
Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 14) - Comment currently unavailable
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 5) - Ugly first half on offense is one thing but they got royally screwed by the officials in that one. That crew, and former NFL official and current replay official Howard Slavin, should never work another game!
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 6) - Packers got jobbed by the officials in the end. M.D. Jennings intercepts Russell Wilson's pass for Golden Tate, but it's ruled a touchdown. The play that shook the season and will - hopefully - bring the regular officials back. Please!
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 9) - Controversial call on game-winning TD Monday night in Seattle could come back to haunt Packers.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 7) - I hesitate to move the Pack down too far because let's be honest: They didn't lose that game Monday. They were robbed. I don't care what Golden Tate says. The videotape doesn't lie.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 8) - You don't often see a case of brazen grand theft in prime time.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 8) - They got robbed in the Seattle game at the end, but Rodgers also got sacked eight times in the game which is troubling.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 8) - The Packers lost a hard fought game. Let's call it what it is. They got jobbed by the incompetence of the replacement refs. Not their fault but the fault of the NFL. Absolutely ridiculous! Shame on the NFL for allowing it!
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 9) - The officials may have blown the game-winning call against Seattle, but the Packers put themselves in that kind of situation with a horrible first half offensively that saw Aaron Rodgers get sacked seven times.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 7) - Something is missing from the Packers offense, and they might not be the team we thought they were.
