You're going to hate to admit this but

[Gameover]

Bingo, You can't start slow at home in playoff games and spend the rest of the game chasing the score to get back in it....

Nonsense

Clay Mathews pressure and #53 with batted ball on 3rd and 3 is where they lost the game.

Cowboys have a habit of slow starts

Dak was locked in on Dez all the way(who did get open) but #53 was there regardless of the pressure from Clay.

It would be one thing if the bad /good break happened equally accross the board but they don't. The Steelers, Giants and Packers have gotten so many fortunate breaks in big games that there has to be more to it than just bad luck for us. We are never on the good side of the penalty ledger when the playoff games end.

The Steelers never seem to have a playoff game lost because of poor officiating and I think the same can be said for the Giants in recent years. What are the odds that we get the holding call that Pittsburgh got on the 2 point conversion that gave them the game?Ware never got that call and he certainly wouldn't have gotten it in that situation either. Irving gets tackled and the refs swallow their whistle when it happens to us. I guess we need to play better than the refs ref if we are ever going to get to an NFC Championship game again. I can't believe it has now been 21 years and counting. Sad.

I would've got hyped if we beat gb but I just couldn't get too excited yet.

We had the chance to win it at the end and we should have. That's what the great teams do...they take advantage of the winning situations they are put in, especially if the team's strength is their offense.

The last three playoffs, the Packers have lost at the last second:

2013 - 49ers game-winning FG at the end of regulation
2014 - Seahawks game-winning TD in OT
2015 - Cardinals game-winning TD in OT

You don't see those teams giving the ball back to Rodgers because it's hard to stop that offense. Getting the ball down 3 with over a minute left and a timeout was as good a situation as you could ask for.

That was probably the best game a QB has ever played all things considered.

Even his fumbled handoff worked. He was absolutely unconscious.

Yup. I said it before the game -- Rodgers was going to have to walk on water to win this game. And he trotted right out there and walked on water. He would score 30+ on the '86 Bears right now, throwing to a bunch of practice squad receivers. I couldn't even get upset after the game -- he's just in a strange otherworldly zone right now.

All true.
I just saw the 2 pt comversion, and what happened there was child's play compared to what happened to Irving on the last play in our game. No bias folks, keep believing.

You didn't answer my question. What round of the playoffs did we lose in last year?

Does it really matter what the Cowboys did in 2015? If we were the Browns and just lost in the divisonal round fantastic. But we're the Dallas Cowboys who havent advanced beyond the divisional round in 20 years, despite numerous times of being well positioned. Again you're making it seem like we just had a stellar year. Yes it was a great regular season, but its championships that really matter.

We are a completely different team than two years ago because of last season.. You're darn right it matters.

GB just made 1 more insane play than Dallas did. No clock management or woulda coulda shoulda is to blame.

Except for bubble screens nearly every pass Rodgers threw was tightly covered.

The last play was complete by half a second.

Dak showed he still has some downfield accuracy issues that pop up occasionally but he was great for the most part.

Dez played like an all pro should and so did Zeke.

The lack of a pass rush got this team beat in 2014 and it happened again. Hope the draft yields talented pass rushers that won't get suspended for stupidity.

Just tip your cap to a great QB. Dak will grow into that over time. Should be a heck of a duel next week in ATL.

Play of Rodgers is a valid point...but so is a game long non-coverage on a tight end.

Exactly, there was some luck on the GB side. Another inch or two and that fumbled handoff is a turnover. Another inch or two and the first TD from Rodgers hits Sean Lee in the shoulder pad. Another inch or two and the 39 yard pass at the very end is out of bounds.

This was the "one in a hundred" game several times for the Packers.

 

[Kaiser]

Well, except when your rookie quarterback led you back from 18 down to tie it with little time left in the fourth.

Get off this nonsense.

It also has something to do with Ezekiel Elliot having 96 yards rushing in the second half after only 29 in the first half.
