TBF he knew it wasn't landing tails because he saw that it was heads up before the flip and then watched it not flip at all in the air. Apparently Rodgers was upset at the fact that the ref didn't allow him to recall the flip before he flipped it the 2nd time.Try this one:

Oh, and I love the fact that Rogers doesn't say a word until it came up heads. Had it come up tails he would have been happy with it.
Who says it has to spin anyway? A coin toss is a coin coin toss, the red tossed it and that's that surely!! He could try that 100 times and not get it not to spin or flip when it hits the deck. Mind you you, who the hell cant flip a damn coin...
That's my bitch. Where in the rules does it say you can have a re-flip just because the coin didn't go end over end???? I'd be pissed right now if the re-flip went their way & we lost. If I were BA, I'd inquire into that bs. Only GB, NE, Pitt, and Dallas would be given a second coin flip.
It should otherwise a ref could try to do this on purposeThat's my bitch. Where in the rules does it say you can have a re-flip just because the coin didn't go end over end????

The Twitter feed is wrong. Article 2, Section 2 never mentions the word flip. It merely says "coin toss" with no further explanation. It never provides for a re-toss. I've been complaining all year that the officials don't know the rules.
I do think Rodgers felt they should keep tossing until the Packers won.
But it's still random as who knows what it's on to start, he can still call head or tails and it would still be dependant on a ref to toss a coin 6 feet in the air and get it to land without flipping once.I think the official made the right decision to flip/toss again. The intent of the rule is to provide a random result. If the coin doesn't actually flip, it would make the official look like he was trying to get a certain result.
As to why it didn't flip, I don't know, but that thing looks pretty big. It's probably a lot harder to flip a silver dollar than a dime.
Not sure why this still boils me pi$$.
Fairness is horse hockey. Can he say an attempted reception is a catch because the definition is vague and he thinks it would be fairer to call it a catch? If you want re-flips change the rule. They've been tossing coins for 60+ years and I've never heard of this happening. I'd say the odds are against it happening again. I'm also just saying you can't have officials making up rules in the interest of fairness.
