So when the call in the GB/Dallas game went against Dez Bryant's 3-step catch, my boss - who lives in Madison - told me "well, that's karma. The books are even now.' Obviously he was referring to the previous week's non-pass interference call against Dallas in the Detroit game.
That got me to thinking - well, if Dallas benefited from a questionable call in the Detroit game, then they did carry that credit in their karma ledger into the GB game. So when Dez's catch was ruled incomplete, it did balance the ledger for Dallas. BUT!!! - it resulted in Green Bay now having a positive credit in their karma ledger. Which they are still carrying into this weekend's game, right? So it stands to reason that at some point in the Seattle game, GB will get screwed by a questionable call.
That, anyway, has been my solace whenever I think about the obvious butt raping call the Cowboys took in the GB game.
Suddenly, last night, I had a flashback memory of Ndomukong Suh's attempt to crush Aaron Rodgers' leg by stomping on him. Crap. I think that balances all of the ledgers. My logic is this:
1. GB was harmed when Suh tried to crush Rogers' leg and nothing was done about it. So GB is -1 karma.
2. Detroit benefited unfairly when Suh was reinstated by the league with only a slap on the wrist. So +1 karma to Detroit.
3. Detroit is harmed and Dallas is benefited on the non pass interference call. So even karma to Detroit, + 1 karma to Dallas.
4. Dallas is harmed and GB benefited by the dumbass butt rape call on Dez's catch. So even karma to Dallas, and add +1 to GB, which brings them to even.
Sadly, I think the karma train has come to a stop, and GB does not have to live in fear of a BS call this weekend. They will still lose, but fairly.
