And so it begins.

dola-

which he probably doesn't want to be doing when his own QB has a gimp calf

[kingfc22]

Rodgers lack of mobility is really hurting their ability to create plays when his receivers are unable to get open on the original route.

[Abe Sargent]

This game is surprisingly good. Come on Packers, kick Cowboys ass!

[mckerney]

Woo Cowboys!

Man I've come to accept the homerism but I really wish you would stop with this line of thinking. Do you honestly believe this? All of the ref chat over football chat is bad enough at times (not from you, just in general in these threads), but the outright conspiracy bullshit is just too much.

[kingfc22]

That's a horrendous spot. Not even close to a first down.

EDIT: TWO yards worth. Lol.

[Scoobz0202]

That was incomplete Cmon

[kingfc22]

Yea. That second angle looked pretty convincing to overturn the call.

And that sack pretty much negates everything.

[EagleFan]

Ball was tipped, should be no penalty.

[Scoobz0202]

You think? I don't see how they can overturn that at all. It stayed pretty much a perfect spiral.

[EagleFan]

I guess not, based on that last angle.

[PilotMan]

The only thing I've really got to say about the game today is fuck the Cowboys.

[kingfc22]

So you're not allowed to block downfield when your receiver is still not down?

[Danny]

Whistle blew play over, the right call

Whistle blew about a half second before he hit the defender. Not sure how he's supposed to stop his momentum at that point.

It wasn't like he took 3-4 steps and then hit the defender.

[EagleFan]

Stupid play by 70.

[kingfc22]

In other news, Trent Richardson is inactive today.

+ a billion.

[Scoobz0202]

Rodgers can't move. Dallas needs to stop this 3 man rush bullshit

[Danny]

Heck of a game going on

[whomario]

ok, why do you not go for 2 there ? If it fails you still take the lead with a FG just the same as with the Extrapoint, basically making this a relatively pressure-free situation to make up that deficit. What am i missing ?

Conventional wisdom says you don't go for 2 until the 4th quarter.

Lets say you miss and Dallas scores a TD, then its a 2 score game.

This. Still too early and you can't allow this to become a two score game.

But you need that extra score either way. If Dallas is going to end up with 28 points, you need the 2 point conversion either on your first TD or on your 2nd TD. Why not find out that information sooner so you can adjust the speed of your offense?

Also lets say you miss, Dallas gets a FG and you follow with a TD. Now Dallas can take the lead with a FG instead of tying it. It's just too early to go for it with that many posession left.

[EagleFan]

It was still too early to potentially be chasing that point if they miss.

[SegRat]

Now go for 2

[Scoobz0202]

Not one fucking blitz

[kingfc22]

Rodgers playing superb this half.

[Lathum]

Omg what a throw.

[MikeVic]

Why are they still calling this ice bowl II? At least with the graphic going to commercial break. It doesn't look like an ice bowl.

Yeah it's dumb. It's 25 right now.

[kingfc22]

Wow.

[EagleFan]

That ball moved when it hit the ground.

[ColtCrazy]

Incredible near-catch. Don't think it'll hold up, looks like it hit the ground. That said, why go for broke on 4th and 2?

[cartman]

But he had already made a "football move" before that.

[kingfc22]

Megatron rule coming up here.

[larrymcg421]

If that's not a catch, then I hate the NFL.

[SegRat]

I'm a Huge packer fan but I disagree with that call. But I won't complain.

[Lathum]

ITS A CONSPIRACY!!!!!

He tucked it and took a step. Wow.

[Dr. Sak]

Great call Gene

That ball moved.. good reversal.

[bhlloy]

The rule is awful, but it's called correctly according to the rule

[mckerney]

How is reaching the ball forward like that not a football move after the catch?
