Hell of a big difference making a team go 75 yards for a TD to win or going 40 yards for a FG to tie. Going up by 6 was the right call.
Meanwhile, it's nice to see Russell Wilson stinking up the joint.

But Joe.
You specifically said the season was over when it wasn’t.
That is the first chapter of “Blair’s Don’t Be an Eeyore book”
Read it.
I just read this entire thread from 2-3 minutes left in 2nd Quarter to end.
You all just made my Christmas 😆
I don't know why but I kept having this feeling the Pack would pull out this game.
Still alive..... Dream from heaven
So it’s coming out that Tua played most of the game with a concussion that wasn’t caught by anyone and he did not self report until this afternoon. He’s now in protocol.
That may explain some of those 4th quarter throws. They need to sit him down for the year. They’ve lost 4 straight and it’s not worth risking his career, or life for that matter.
Had to listen to the game on the radio. Was Tua sacked many times or was he blocked hard on one of the INT returns?
Wonder if this would have happened to dimple boy, Cousins, or even #12. I think the team let Tau down……TAKE HIM OUT, put in the backup. That head hit was horrible. JMHO.
You're talking about the same team that left Tua in the game after he looked like a Weeble against the Bills, and then started him days later against Cincy. It appears Tua is prone to concussions like Kuechly was. At a minimum, Tua should be shut down for the year, and he may want to call it a career -- as difficult as that may be.
Exactly, if he’s prone to concussions,say good bye to him……I’m sick if that was true that yesterday he was ok, but today he’s feeling horrible as in a cussed state.

The NFL is supposed to have concussion spotters. After that hard hit yesterday when Tua smacked his head on the ground once again, you could argue that they should have taken him out to evaluate him as a precaution, especially for a player who has had one concussion diagnosed earlier this year (wink, wink on that Buffalo "back" injury he had). I'd like to see film of how he acted after that hit, but I've only see it of when the hit happened.
I had a similar thought, Fandame.
As matter of fact, the NFL/NFLPA made a change to the concussion protocol after that game vs Buffalo.
During a game, if a player doesn't self-report, the team docs/concussion guy, and the league's trained, independent people don't see a behavior or symptom, I don't know what else can be done.
However, given his history, if he indeed sustained a concussion, he shouldn't be allowed to play until next year, at the earliest.

Read the play by play. With 2 minutes to go in the 1st quarter he rushed for 3 yards. On the very next play Tua fumbled but recovered by Miami. Just coincidence? Not sure how hard the tackle was on the rushing play.
What's scary about this concussion is that there wasn't an obvious hard hit that cause it. It means he never really recovered from the obvious severe concussions he had earlier this year.
I think he should retire, but it's hard enough to give up playing a game you've loved since you were in elementary school. There aren't a lot of Chris Borlands out there. And Borland probably walked away from 25-30 million (which is an still an enormous amount of money), not the 250-300 million Tua would be walking away from.
There is a play circulating that shows his head snap back and hit the turf on a tackle where he landed on his back. It looked almost exactly like the dinger 12 got in DET in 2010(?).
His brain is a ticking time bomb that gets closer and closer to ringing each additional time he gets his bell rung.

MLF said a big factor in his decision was the way the defense played in the second half. The win probability numbers I saw for both decisions were basically the same, but that doesn't account for what's occurring on the field.
Pretty clearly the right decision to me when you look at the defensive play.

That block was so good, I'll kick in a couple dollars for the fine.
What that does for my soul makes it well worth it!
I don't see how they can fine him for that when they allow players to celebrate galore after a sack. And the "super celebrations" after an INT or fumble recovery with the whole defense running to preen in front of the cameras are way over the top. It's ludicrous. It wasn't like Lazard was in their faces or pointing to the crowd or dancing or showing off a shirt under his uniform. What's the difference between what Lizard did and what Watson did after he scored his third TD against Dallas? NFLFU, indeed.
At this rate Jaire will get a fine for his Gritty dance in front of JJ.
I have it on good word from Tony Romo it’s the griddle dance.

Has there ever been anyone more overpaid and overrated in sports broadcasting than Tony Romo (Jim Rome perhaps)? FFS, CBS tore up an existing contract to give Romo a bigger contract because they were afraid ESPN was going take him away from them.
Tell me how many people watch a football game because of who the color announcer is?
I like Romo ... he gives some insight looking at the game as a QB would
