Integrity? From the same guy who said he would take Dakota over Rodgers, Mahomes and Brady? your credibility is in serious doubt, however your blind homerism is safely in check
You realize those guys are all out of the league of the next 2-3 Seasons except for Mahomes. I don't like Mahomes he's already throwing people under the bus. I don't want that on my team. Yeah that's called integrity.

Players don't get boo'd during injuries very often.

Our entire section erupted with boo's on the last one. Just an absolutely classless player.
IMO, that kind of delaying of the game shenanigans should be penalized or he should have to sit out. That's not how you play the game, he reminds me of the diva DB's around the league. I almost made it to the game, glad you guys were loud.

I'm just a better judge of talent than most. LOL that's the big issue. People have tunnel vision. With agendas

So the winningest franchise in the league up in New England is notorious for such stretching of the rules. Perhaps the Cowboys need to get on board.

It's unfortunate. You see it everywhere. Rules can't substitute for a shared ethic of fair play. People who defect on that ethic make the game worse but their own position better. Classic prisoner's dilemma.

The classic solution on the prisoner's dilemma is tit for that. Strive for the shared ethic. But if the other side violates it, play as dirty as they do.

100% agree. League needs to do something about that. If a player goes down twice, then they should miss a quarter.

It was absolutely ridiculous. I kept thinking he is out of the game, but I see him get back again and beast it

:cool:

I'd make kinda like a TKO deal. You go down twice in a qtr, you get a standing qtr count.

Works for me. The NFL just has to do something. When a ref suspects a player of flopping or faking injury, it should also merit an unsportsmanlike penalty.

I'm so upset at this team I could spit nails. And then we got dumb *** fans who want to blame one person. I find that so pathetic

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers always cheat. They have absolutely no problem taking full advantage of and stretching the rules to their advantage if it means they winning. That is why I can't stand that smirkly cheat and his team. Can't stand any Cowboys fans who keep on praising that whiny cheat one bit either. No integrity whatsoever.

I hear ya brother, that smirk sh** eating grin makes me want to %^$%#... BUT here is the bottom line, Rodgers did exactly what he had to do to beat us AGAIN. HE put up points and made us play catch up. Doesn't matter about refs, or bad calls, or bad plays our oh so great D, which many here have stated is a sieve waiting to be blown open, well they got embarrassed. Once again were treated to the same stupidity out of the corners, running like idiots and never turning to look back, RODGERS knows that, reason why he knows he can throw those arrant passes, and get a call. Twice whichever sack of crap was covering the pass hit him in the back, he never looked around. Nope, I'm not laying this on anything other then once again we all saw treated to Jeruhs wonderful fire sale. As it stands Clapper is 1-8 now against Rodgers...Whichever GB player who stated this is our house, was straight up on the mark. Pathetic.

unfortunately Z Smith, was doing it within the NFL rules, and he seemed to do that every time we get rolling with momentum and ho huddle . that allows Packs to sub their packages,
and i'm surprised more teams are not doing so to slow the no huddle, and I agree with those who say if a player is persistent on the ground like that, he should have to sit out a
certain amount of plays.

Called it in the game thread. Was painfully obvious the same way it was obvious when the Giants did it to the Patriots some number of years back.

I'm not sure how you handle it, but it's Bush League and needs to be penalized in some fashion. If the officials aren't comfortable doing it during the game then let the league review it and fine him if it is this obvious.

Too much. If a player goes down for an injury timeout stoppage like he was doin, he should t be allowed to finish the drive. I complained about the injuries stoppages all yveiugbt the game thread because they kept coming after we would actually make a good play. It clearly was intentional and strategic.

How about the Cowboys fans who sell their tickets to Packer fans. Pathetic.

It was pathetic. At one point I thought the crowd was booing his as he pretended to be hurt. I hope they were at any rate he deserved it.
Yes the crowd caught on and booed late in the game. Dak also noticed it and was screaming it to the official who did nothing.

That's right, you're the guy who thinks Rodgers going hurry-up while the opposition is substituting to force a penalty or time out, or hard counting to draw a defense offsides to get a free play is bad form. No, it's called being head's up and thinking. I'd be satisfied with us doing that 25% of the time. But we don't like thinking around here.

How 'bout them Choirboys!

I do not believe the Z Smith was faking anything. He was hurt last week and probably should not have played. The packers radio was saying he was suffering from bad leg cramps last night. I am not sure how teh heat affected that but I doubt Z Smith wanted to come out of the game. He was giving the Dallas Oline fits.
