To be honest we got away with multiple calls that would have allowed the Lions to beat us in the wild card game, so we shouldn't have even played in the divisional game in the first place. Although I do think it was a catch.
What multiple calls? I know Hitchens face mask grabbed and it was never called.

Went up 21-13. GB fumbled the ensuing kickoff. We had a player fall right on the ball for the easy recovery and it slipped out from under him. Minimum 24-13 after that drive and it's a totally different game.
It seems like we never get those loose balls :facepalm:

Happened this year vs the Giants too :facepalm:

He did. But you're not suppose to hold the ball like that. You see how Zeke runs with the ball - close to his body that way you don't get the inadvertent strip.
^ This.

Peppers made an incredible play. He did his job like all defensive players are paid to do but Murray aided Peppers by not protecting the ball better. Any player carrying the ball--and especially running backs--must secure the ball while running in the open field. Players must be doubly cautious running the ball anywhere close to the line of scrimmage, where there are too many hands, arms, feet, helmets, etc., that can even accidentally jar the ball loose from the player's grip.

These are reasons why running backs receive the most coaching about protecting the football throughout their time playing the game. It's about ball security.

We were playing IN GB. Don't make this more difficult than it has to be. Its not that serious.

That doesn't matter

It seems you're the one making it more difficult than it has to be. Someone says the refs beat the boys and it's hyperbole?

Yea... Sure okay :rolleyes:

agreed, I just remember peppers recovery and how badly he beat martin. like everything about that play was awesome except for the execution and peppers diagnosis and recovery.

Good Lord people....let's try this: the Greenbay GAME robbed us of getting to a SB. Is that plain and simple enough or is this just another lost cause?

You know there was another game we would have had to won after Green Bay before the Super Bowl right? It would have been @Seattle. While some will say "we went to Seattle and won that season" I'm not sure we could have done it twice, maybe. But it robbed us of a chance to go to the NFC Championship game, not the Super Bowl.

Seattle was just another part of the journey that we would have conquered if not for GB.

Dallas left money o the table all the first half when the offense was essentially running on four cylinders and the defense seemed to refused to blitz a wobbly Rodgers into the stone age. What ever happened in the second half would have been pointless if Dallas had played their game the first half. I got the impression then, and still have it that Dallas played scared that day.

The fumble and the catch/no catch would not have mattered if they played their game.

I dont know. Very skeptical about that. Seattle is January. They play there best football in the playoffs. Wouldnt have been the same team we beat in the season. Im not sure we win that game

It's about how much fun it is to win. But you wouldn't know anything about that.

OUCH! No seriously. What's this thread about? A game two years ago we lost? And I am the one who cant have fun winning? Sure ya right....
