This was the game that killed my excitement for NFL football after loving it since being a kid in the 1980s. It’s been a decade of caring less and less each year.

that play sums up everything I hate about the NFL.

Holy Toledo, bro. Is this just a troll attempt or are you really this uninformed? You literally have been trying to debate using 2024 catch rules not knowing that the rules were different in 2014? This is not the time to keep up the discussion. It's a time for slinking away slowly and hoping no one notices. When someone comes at me sideways, I love to slaughter them in debates (just ask @gtb1943 how it felt years ago, lol) but I at least like it to be a fair fight. You might want to read up on the rules history and then come at this topic another day. I'm going to relent here and leave you to that.

Dude, I took those rules off of a reddit forum from a post from over seven years ago, so it looks like the fact that you think they come from 2024 proves that you don't know what you're talking about.

They still were the wrong rules to cite. Less talkie, more slinky, you.

A clutch throw and a big time catch in a big time moment in the playoffs.

This play is the epitome of what the NFL has become. Just a ridiculous rule and a ridiculous call that decided our season.

With the way Rodgers was beating our defense, the Packers certainly still could have won the ballgame. But nonetheless, it should have been first and goal at the 1 yard line and we would have had a major advantage the rest of the way.
