Im souring on both.
That Matthews call was as ridiculous as any.....im really not sure what else they are supposed to do if, in fact, that was a roughing call under the existing rules.
In my eyes it was a text book hit delivered well within the time frame allowed.
Literally cost them the game...and this comes a week after Rodgers had all a linesmans weight come down on him and injure his knee with no call.
Bush league stuff.

I was also pretty perplexed by that call. Right in the "allowed" contact area, and Cousins arm was still moving forward from what I remember and it's easy to see no weight being forced on him or however that call is worded.
Im wondering if it's even worth trying to build a top NFL defense any more as the game is tailored so much to keeping the offense on the field as scoring as many points as possible. The NFL has to realize that quarterbacks are going to get hurt from time to time.
Clay Mathews' hit was perfectly clean
Bolded: Not really the same play at all, weird comparison. Play was also perfectly fair
