Heath sack of Rodgers on the final drive

[Gameover]

The one thing that concerned me about this game was are we facing a QB who is in one of those 'our team isn't losing' grooves.

We'll see how far Rodgers can carry them.

 

[Avery]

Yeah, but you don't expect to pick up 35 yards on a 3rd and 20.

We just missed out on the big plays. You should always chop the arm.

People don't understand thay GB practices this stuff. Rogers said so after the game. He rolled out and hit him just like he did in the 1 st half...and both times on Jones!!

I honestly thought he was rolling out to throw a Hail-Mary. It had all the looks of a Rodgers Hail Mary. I wonder if the defense thought it was going to be a Hail Mary and reacted accordingly.

 

[Maverick84]

any other team and any other game and that's a fumble

but it's us, so no.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I thought about winning the coin toss as soon as I realized he held onto it.

Where he was, Id be thinking about running the clock out and running Bailey out for a game winner

Well yeah, if he fumbled it lol. Once I realized he didn't, I thought there was no way possible it wasn't going into OT.

Yeah, or picking it up and running it in

God doesn't fumble...

Saddest part was that Jeff Freaking Heath was our best D player today. SMH

 

[AzorAhai]

God doesn't fumble...

But he does hate the Cowboys. Or at minimum Jerry Jones.

He showed incredible range on that interception.

 

[Tenkamenin]

he needed to tomahawk the ball...i mean can't blame him for getting the for sure sack, but it is what it is.

It says a lot about the quality of our defensive players. Good players make plays, i.e. Peppers stripping Murray in 2014.

 

[Rob-G]

Great play by Heath, but he made no play on the ball.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Yeah, but you don't expect to pick up 35 yards on a 3rd and 20.

We just missed out on the big plays. You should always chop the arm.

Championship teams score a TD without giving them any or little time left. Championship teams do not allow 3rd and 20. This isn't a championship team. Proved it twice in the clutch there.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

I was a massive Heath hater for a couple of seasons but after he murdered Ricardo Lockette (RIP) I kind of started being OK with him....

 

[CyberB0b]

I thought "3rd and 20 and out of FG range, what could possibly go wrong"

My thoughts, exactly. Then, the Cowboys defense showed their true colors.

 

[revospeed]

Jeff Heath is one of the better football players on our roster. It's a shame we let Byron Jones's draft placement and his combine numbers determine that Heath isn't going to play. Every time he's given a chance, he makes plays. Reminds me of the coaches refusal to start Hatcher for all those years.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

Yup, Packers this year are probably the weakest opponent Dallas will likely get in the divisional round for a long time. Shame they couldn't take advantage.

Any team that doesn't have a guy playing on the level as Rodgers is easier to beat than this Green Bay squad. He just took it to another level again

 

[Nova]

don't forget their first touchdown that went through lee's arms and around his helmet, or the time Rodgers handed off to Montgomery without actually having the ball and neither guy looking at it, and they didn't fumble

they got every break, played mistake free and barely won because of our incompetency

That's what hurts the most, I think.

They made plays by mere inches and caught all of the breaks.

Even the last two FGs were crappily hit, and just sort of snuck in.

It was maddening to see our team rally and fight adversity so hard only to keep bouncing off the ceiling of victory because things were just going the other team's way.

At least we're young.

 

[Bigdog]

As the play happened my mind automatically went to the thought that Heath was going to nail Rodgers and that Rodgers was going to fumble it and the Cowboys were going to recover it.

I thought all that in a split second. For a split second I thought the game was going to be essentially over.

9 times out of 10 that's a fumble.

Anybody else have that same epiphany on that play?

Yup. Tomahawk chop might have done it
