And here come the Packers rescuers! The Referees.

The refs need to pick up that flag

Tampa is playing the Packers and the Refs.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Glad they didn't call that.

It's not a neutral location, as the Super Bowl should always be played. What's dumb about that?

Think world series. Nba championships.

 

[Jake]

Picked up. Not every hard hit is a penalty.

 

[tyke1doe]

He tells us that every chance when he gets. I think it's part of Aikman's contract.

 

[Rockport]

So let them swap with whoever is hoting in 2022 and no planning is wasted, just delayed a year. All I'm seeing are weak excuses.

There is no excuse. It’s scheduled to be in Tamps so it will be in Tampa. End of story.

How is this quarter only half over?

 

[jwitten82]

It should always be in a neutral location. Yes, they have earned the right to play in the Super Bowl but it doesn't have to be in Tampa.

No it shouldn't

 

[JoeKing]

Would you be saying this if we were going to host the Super Bowl and we happened to find our way into said Super Bowl?

That's a hypothetical situation we'll never have to be concerned about. It doesn't appear Super Bowl's are important to the Jones boys anymore to host or play in.

There was holding on #13

The city of Tampa has likely invested a great deal into preparing for the game. They pick the cities years in advance.

Moving it would be horrible. If Tampa makes it, the AFC can deal with it.

I don’t think it matters too much. If you make them stay in a hotel like the other team it will negate a lot of the HFA aspect in this. There will be a good split inside the stadium to create a neutral environment. They can do a lot aesthetically over the next weeks to make the stadium look less like a Tampa home game.

Bill being told what's going on:

Does anybody believe the Patriots HC is not watching this game?

 

[JoeKing]

Think world series. Nba championships.

Not the same, SB is a singular event. I'm still only hearing weak excuses.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

There is no reason KM can’t use Cooper like Green Bay uses Adams. No reason at all. Cooper might even be a better route runner.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

But you're moving the ball with the running game. The short passing game is open because the Packers are expecting the deep ball. Move methodically down the field, score, kill the clock.

These teams believe in scoring often as a path to winning. The kill clock philosophy only works if you have a team with such talent disparity that the opponent cannot stop you.

 

[Buzzbait]

Wow, that was a powerful run.

Folks act like Zeke does that.
