W/ 46 seconds.....that's too much time for Rodgers to get into FG range. I'm ok trying to get the W.

Tied or up by one, Rodgers can still get them in FG range,,,what is the difference???

 

[mldardy]

The playoffs will go through GB. Dallas lost their chance when they lose to a reeling Raiders team on Thanksgiving.

Hasn't worked out for them when it's gone through GB.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Let's not forget the Packers gifted 4 points, or a TD instead of a FG, with that phantom PI call against the Ravens.

Didn't see that part.

 

[jazzcat22]

Not sure about that.

Raise your hand if you don't see #12 get them into FG range with :42 left in regulation.

Or beating them in OT.

That is called playing scared. You have to trust your defense. But what is you get the ball in OT, the way they were moving the ball on GB defense.

Except Rodgers still has the same amount of time and a FG still wins it.

Browns beat the Pack next week.

Book it.

It will be a sorry Christmas to end the sorriest year in the history of America if that doesn't happen...

I'm really not interested in next week's game if we aren't at least even with those Pissconsin Green Goobers in the loss column.

Because Rodgers doesn't get two bites at the apple in case they don't get it when they get the ball back. That's why attempting 2 made sense there.

Even if you get the 2pt conversion it’s not a guaranteed win as GB would have had a timeout and 40 seconds left, also a better play call would have helped

Exactly. And if you tie it the odds are that GB just kneels it with only 1 timeout left on each side. If you take a 1 point lead with :41 left then GB will definitely push the ball down and get a PI. You have to take the tie in that situation. Maybe if you had Lamar and GB was out of timeouts and you had less time left you try to go for 2.

That playcall was Mooresque.

 

[cowboyblue22]

wow why just give the game to the packers

 

[Floatyworm]

I would have played for OT. You had momentum and I like my chances better of trusting my defense for 40 seconds vs. somehow recovering an onside and then needing to push to get downfield again.

Your assuming you make it to OT.....Rodgers finds a way to get into FG range...you know how the NFL likes last second plays for a win.

 

[Mannix]

wow...huntley did have a wide open lane

Not in that situation. Obviously if they're down 32-31 they try to get into FG range, but with 1 timeout on each side, chances are GB just kneels it and plays for OT if it's a tie game and they're at their own 25 with only 1 timeout and :41 to play.

 

[Diehardblues]

Harbaugh might be the next best HC after Belichick.

 

[75boyz]

Yeah but the way our offense is playing we'd only score 15 points on 5 field goals. Oh wait let's make that 15 points on 3 field goals and a TD with a missed extra point

It was mentioned early and I know Lamar was missing but wasn't GB missing 4 starting o linemen on the road against a pretty good team?

Take Tyron, Zack, Collins and ...pick your 4th and get back with me on how Dak would do, lol

I was gonna say...

Rodgers does an excellent job on a fast track, indoors in January. If weather is a factor in Lambeau, it might be more of an advantage for Dallas (defense) than GB. Just look what GB did in Dallas, vs the #1 seed Cowboys in 2016.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Exactly. And if you tie it the odds are that GB just kneels it with only 1 timeout left on each side. If you take a 1 point lead with :41 left then GB will definitely push the ball down and get a PI. You have to take the tie in that situation. Maybe if you had Lamar and GB was out of timeouts and you had less time left you try to go for 2.

There is zero chance Rodgers will kneel with 47 seconds left, a time out and needing only a FG, whether the game is tied or not.

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

wow...huntley did have a wide open lane

see that's the difference.... even if Jackson and Huntley are both equally athletically gifted.... Jackson is more experienced and would have ran it in through that gap instead of making the called throw.

 

[Floatyworm]

Naw.....Packers crap the bed in Detroit week 18.....would be so much better.....We end up w/ the #1 seed....13-4.....same record as GB and Tampa....win tie breaker based on better conference record.
