They called 1 TO earlier. They called 2 on Def around the 2 minute warning which allowed them to have the ball when they did.
I'm watching the game now, they took 2 on the Giants last drive
+ I actually got stopped by a gracious Giants fan in TargÃĐt today for congratulations. When he said he couldn't believe the Hail Mary, I pointed out I couldn't believe the one five years ago either.

Holy crap, those may be the whiniest fukwits on the planet.
They continue to outdo themselves each year. The fact the conspiracy angle has become the main platform for the spermheads and how they watch NFL football is hilarious.
The Packers destroyed their ability to enjoy the NFL. I'll take that.
The comments about the SB being in Houston and thankfully not in Minny this year show how fragile that fan base is.
The crying about refs and flags is expected. The pleas for anyone on NY to deliver a cheap kill shot on Rodgers isn't really surprising either.
Packers winning back to back Lombardi's in that stadium would be epic.
Truly drinking the tears of thine enemies.
Wow! I thought the rumors about Vikings fans whining about refs was an exaggeration. Not at all. If anything it is understated!
11 pages of crying about the refs with periodic agonizing whenever the announcers say something good about GB. You can just feel the collective anguish brewing in that thread, made all the more enjoyable by knowing the outcome beforehand. Truly a surreal experience.
Thanks for that link, Boris. I feel like I witnessed mass hysteria firsthand. Great stuff.
Except the cheering about and wishing further injury on Jordy Nelson, which made it a little too real.
Vikings fans, it's like watching Trump win all over again.
Adams put his hand out where he wanted the ball and Rodgers delivered. If you watch the one Cobb TD, he does the same thing: holds his hand up over his head and slightly in front of him and Rodgers delivered. Great trust and teamwork.
Also on that play while AR12 was scrambling, the Giants #30 had his hands all over Adams. I thought holding would be called for sure. Guess the ref was a Viking fan.
Last week Steve Smith was making the rounds on the radio after his final game. He was talking about defenses in the playoffs. He said NY was clearly the best defense. Then KC. Naturally he was asked about Dallas because everything on the radio is about Dallas.
So Steve goes into really cool detail that Dallas D is 100% pure vanilla. Really. Pure. Vanilla. They do exactly what you see on film. They play a basic cover 2 shell zone. Pure bend don't break. Forcing offenses to go 12 play drives that eat clock and shorten games for their running game. It's all about not giving up any big plays.
It really is a marvel to think that with all that's going on in the Hail Aaron plays like timing, avoiding defenders and such, that he is able to accurately launch a ball in the air at that distance and trajectory and have it fall within the 10 yard length of the end zone time and time again. He did this seemingly easily the 3 times he's had success. The most amazing one was in Arizona where he had a defender charging at him and was falling to his left and put the ball right where it needed to be. Just unreal.
After the HM at Detroit, Aaron stated that they practice doing HM's and that it's best to throw the ball up high so it comes back down at such a steep angle to help avoid it being batted away. Matthews said that in practice HM's never work. They always get intercepted or incomplete.

Like they're showing Rodgers a bullseye. Outstretched hands let him gauge WRs reach and he can take advantage of it with his pinpoint accuracy. Other QB's can throw it down and low to give the WR a chance. 12 can put it in a 1 foot window when he's on.
Question: Does anyone know if any of the Cowgirls went boating today?

titmfatied posted:Ryan Clark (former Steeler db) told a great story on Mike and Mike this morning (sometime between 8:00 and 8:30 AM EST) . He was talking about the Jennings play in the Super Bowl and what Rodgers said to him a few plays later. I can't describe it as well as he told it. I'll post the podcast link later when it's uploaded.

And he can do it while standing still in the pocket, or rolling out to either side of the field, or while running, or dodging pass rushers. The greatest thrower of the football that I have ever seen.

That's exactly right. So In other words, Rodgers has to be patient & continue to dink & dunk his way down the field, score points & keep that O-Line & running game on the bench.
Stop looking for the homerun on every single play like he did for about 28 minutes in the first half. I was pulling my hair out until that drive in the 3rd quarter where he hit Cobb in the middle of the field for a TD.
Must use the sidelines in this Dallas game. Sean Lee is very good in the middle & I'm hoping Ripkowski or someone can block Lee.

Not for him. At Family Night this past summer, it is really just a glorified practice so there is nothing much to cheer for, except for one thing: They put this little net in the corner of the end zone and the QB's tried to put the ball in it from various distances, starting our pretty close and stopping at like the 35 yard line.
You could tell Rodgers was loving the drill and really expected to land the ball in the target every time. He seemed to relish it even more the farther away they moved. It was the crowd favorite when he would nail one. Even on the misses he was always close.
Watching him reminded me of Michael Jordan for some reason. You're just watching an exceptionally gifted athlete make it look easy. Granted the Hail Marys are insane distances, but that's just muscle memory for Aaron Rodgers.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Better than Montana.
"Packers can't win a game without help from the refs. That is a proven fact."
FLVike posted this on page 9. Yeah ok, apparently this @sswipe must not have seen that Monday night game Packers vs Seahawks in 2012 or Aaron's first playoff game at Arizona in OT.
"This game is in the bank for the Pack. The NFL sooooo wants an NFC Title with Green Bay and Dallas. Mark it down, gonna happen."

You have no idea.
I think my favorite part is now the conspiracy has morphed to "now that the Packers are up by two TDs the refs will call garbage fouls on the Packers to make it look even".

DEFCON is a reverse scale; DEFCON 1 is the most extreme. So you meant DEFCON 0.

I've learned so much from this board.
Are pedantics the same as erudites? They all look alike to me.
Hurtful.

Hungry5 posted:I read one recap of that play where the writer opined that Adams was essentially never open on that TD. That writer would be wrong.
This last frame... not sure what Rodgers wasn't seeing? Casillas never really moved.
Really hard to tell from still pictures. It depends how fast they were running, but in that last frame there is a LB sitting in that zone and the CB trailing.
Looking at it in real-time Rodgers has hit this play often. Just wasn't looking there early.
Look at the pocket he has. Bakh and Bulaga earning their paychecks!
