Christmas Day Game Thread

If the Cowboys had won the game like GB did today, the fan base would be ripping them apart.

The refs just bounced Cleveland out of the playoffs and handed GB the #1 seed yet people say they don't decide games. Sure whatever!

That extra point miss came back to haunt them. Kickers can help or hurt you.

Team game.

The one game Brady got outplayed last year in the playoffs...by a long shot....was at Green Bay.
But his TEAM ended up winning....which is all that matters.

If nothing. The chink in the armor has been exposed last several games. Zeke and Pollard need to be healthy with a run focused offense to win in GB.

Did you watch the game. The Browns were averaging about 10 yards a carry. Couldn’t stop the run AT ALL.

Read his post again, Rock...every word.

How do you know GB's fan base isn't doing just that?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

If this was the Cowboys then all some Cowboys fans would do is make the last 2 wins negative by pointing out how the Cowboys barely beat a team with a backup QB or barely won in a game where they have 4 INTs and this type of close wins the Packers had in the last 2 weeks, would be turned into something negative by the pessimistic part of the fanbase.

But because it's the Packers and not the Cowboys, their close wins will be looked at as "gritty" or still a sign of a great team and some will still build them up to be an invincible team that's impossible to beat if they have homefield.

Are we rooting for the Cardinals?

Don't just blame the quarterback. What did their "stars" do?

Myles Garrett with one combined tackle and one QB hit.

I’m sure there is a Miller Lite laced tirade going on locally on GB radio.

 

[Runwildboys]

Be nice to hear from the folks who were posting threads about how the NFL does not fix games?

The officials missed a PI call at the end, but did they see it and just say "Oh well.", or did they simply not see it because they weren't at an angle with a view of the jersey tug?

All Stefanski had to do is run 3 times at end of game and use time outs , get 15 yards and win game . They had been averaging 7+ yards a run , instead 3 straight pass attempts over and out .

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

I just hoped if we do play GB there or in TX, that our run game is just like the browns run game, there coaches should be fired for abandoning the run in that last series.

 

[Runwildboys]

Myles Garrett with one combined tackle and one QB hit.

He was on the sideline for at least one series, because he had some type of injury. Don't know how many plays he missed because of it.

I'm not rather face the Cards than the Rams early in the playoffs.

 

[Buzzbait]

I hear Baker is gonna dress up as Santa tonight for the team Christmas party...

He oughta be dressing up like the grinch that stole Christmas.

 

[IceBowler]

Lol, enjoy the greatness of those two. They don't come around often. If they played for your team you would never want them to retire. Never. They will be gone soon enough.

No true at all. Rules in the game were changed as a result of these two whining and *****ing or having calls bent for their benefit.
I come from the old days when Jack Lambert said, "They oughta put skirts on 'em."

Are you assuming the rookie kicker, in his first game, would be money? Don't get me wrong, I agree they shouldn't have put the game in Mayfield's hands, but a FG was far from a given.

We'll never know because the league does not make the refs available for comment. And they do that for a very specific reason.
