Was Packers Ice Bowl Win A Fraud?

[BARRYRAY]

Well you guys who were laughing at Stephen back in the summer on the party bus with supervisor of officials.You guys are way too concerned with drafts, waiver wire, free agents.I can see where the party bus was the best move of the off season. There's a fine line here between DPI and no flag..This may be our year, yes we had a great draft but we also got some "mojo" started back in the summer.Stephen you dog you.

There are uncalled holding penalties during every game but none of them are frauds. No, I do not subscribe to your idea. Packers won on that day.

Uhmmm....look up the word 'sarcasm' (I wasn't really claiming that the Packers win was a fraud...just pointing out absurdity of this week's discussion of the Cowboys not earning the playoff win this week)

Thank God for that game. It was cold outside in La that day and my mom made me stay inside. DAd and Brothers loved the Cowboys. I dared to be different, watched the game and became a Packer fan The 20 years after that made it difficult. The past 20 years tho have been sweet.

You has several players on both teams that had frost bite. The game itself was not a great game as neither team was able to do much, it was more about survival

Would they play it today?

From what I've read the wind chill in the Ice Bowl got as low as -70.

IMHO they would play it today because what the heck are they going to do -- it's too hard to reschedule a NFL playoff game.... but there would be uproar. There was a lot of noise last year re: player safety for the Packers - 49ers playoff game @ Lambeau.

Guess it's a good thing they didn't have the Interweb back in 67.

True, I'm sure it would be played. However I would expect that the heater on the field would be on so the field would not be a block of ice as it was on that day

The presence of several cameras and multiple replay angles have made it painfully obvious that penalties could be called on virtually every play.

Considering that, I'm in favor of a more expanded challenge review system. I realize that this will never be an exact science, but the integrity of the game has far surpassed that of baseball.
