Maybe the refs will help Dallas again this weekend.

[hiperf69]

How can the refs help,
They never saw it happen in the first place !!
Or maybe there was a hot line to Bufalo Wild Wings
In New Jersey from the sky Box.
I'm just saying.

[TimG]

This is going to be the best game of the weekend. I'm fond of both teams after going to college and living win Wisconsin for eight years and living in Texas the past 33 years.

[H8tulooze]

Cowboys!!!!!

I was at the &quot;Ice Bowl&quot; -- had just returned from Vietnam ... the cold damn near killed me!

No he doesn't raz, just talks like he's a team member, with things like &quot;we&quot; added to discussion of &quot;THEM&quot;. Preposterous!
And I won't raz him when Dallas sends &quot;them&quot; packing. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

[69 Post Sedan]

Needless to say....I'm a Packer Backer since conception but ever since I can remember, I've always rooted for the team in our division when it comes to the playoffs if the Packers were out. Dan....you &quot;get it&quot; and I applaud you for that.

The Cowboys....&quot;America's Team&quot;.....I don't think so. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif That was just a publicity stunt way back when and some people took to it. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif

The real America's team is the Packers as they are &quot;the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States.&quot; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Anyway....good luck to both teams but GO PACK GO!!!!!!

Next week are you a Seahawks Fan?

Dan

[69VN]

Dan as an Eagles fan I hate the Cowboys 365 days a year. As you may or may not know the Eagles and their fans have always disliked the Cowboys. I'm a fan of the Packers today because I don't want to see the Cowboys advance to the NFC Championship game. If somehow Dallas advances then yes I'll be a Seahawk's fan next week. But no, I'm not a fan of the Seahawks in general!

Sal

[wheelhop]

I don't really see how rooting for the packers means you &quot;get it&quot;?
If you are a Bears fan you will never, EVER, root for the packers.

[Postsedan]

Relax &quot;Corndog&quot;..... The Packers Won <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Cowboys go home Packing!

Dan

[earntaz]

The Pack, with a one-legged QB, sent Dallas packing again ... Go PACK!!!

[Rixls6]

Time for a new favorite, Go Seahawks.

[169indy]

Go HAWKS!

[69 Post Sedan]

The explanation of the call. (http://www.foxsports.com/video?vid=382975555798)

[earntaz]

I am a true Packer fan -- but that rules sucks ... could have been the Pack at the end of that play. I believe that rule was enacted by the NFL over a player that appeared to catch the ball in the end zone and immediately dropping it to the ground in celebration. Maybe someone here can expand on that. TAZ

[earntaz]

Rick/Jim -- gonna be a good game ... hope my one-legged QB can light them up. But that young Wilson kid is pretty awesome ... he can run ... Aaron is sort of &quot;grounded&quot; ... TAZ

I think there are quite a few more Bears fans that will never root for the &quot;Wisconsin team&quot; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif
Also think there aren't very many Wisconsin fans that would root for the Bears.

[earntaz]

As a Packer Backer, I was stationed at Chanute AFB in Rantoul. More than once there were issues with the locals when they would notice the Green Bay Packer &quot;G&quot; emblem on my car. Nothing real serious -- just &quot;what the hell are you doing here&quot; questions ...

[napa68]

What time are the Bears on??????????????................oh, that's right...............they are not playing this weekend.

Just thought I'd stir this thread up again <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[earntaz]

Stir job worked -- it will be up to the defense today ... Rodgers will put points on the board. The defense will need to put a snoop-doggie-dog on Wilson kid -- don't let him run. Go PACK!!

[Mr70]

Losing 16-0 @ halftime and Seattle comes back.....Eat that Green Bay!

[69 Post Sedan]

Great game. Packers were by far the better team but not for four quarters.

Congrats Seattle.

Stunner. Epic. Told my kids they'd remember this game for decades the same way I remember Montana to Clark for &quot;the catch.&quot; (SF fan in the '80s, lived there.)

They did poorly enough to get a new GM and coach.
The Pack might want to think about replacing McCarthy, an epic collapse that will be remembered for centuries.

[Rixls6]

Heard this morning on a Chicago news station.
Packer fans may need to learn something new, like how to do the Heimlich maneuver. Cough, cough

That WTF just happened look on the faces of the Packers was priceless!

Sorry bears fan -- you're not getting the Packers coach ... you could only wish to get someone with that much class. He would NEVER fit into the bear organization. A bear normally finds a den in the winter time and sleeps -- just like that Chicago team.

For those that are interested -- did the Patriots get caught cheating again? Under inflated footballs is the issue.

[427TJ]

And Belichick may be cheating again. Deflating balls. (Footballs.)

[earntaz]

Looks like there may be a Fox in the Bear house ...

11 out of 12 ...

[StealthBird]

Being a Bears fan, I can honestly say I was pulling for the Packers in this one. The arrogance and trash talking by Seahawk players is too much for me. I thought it was just Sherman last year, but most of the team is like that. I guess it's who they are, thugs and gangbangers with uniforms.

Personally I'd like to see them get pasted by the Patriots 54-3 in the Super Bowl, then have Gronk get in Sherman's face, and perhaps Brady can put on a dreadlocks wig and do a little dance on the 50-yard line.

I saw one of the post game moments with Kearse, and the Seattle media were so excited and happy, one of them asked how Kearse felt. He began yelling, taunting, and trash talking the media like he was still on the field.

Err....hey Jerome, they were on YOUR side, and complimenting you. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif

The exception on the Seahawks is Russell Wilson. In my opinion, he's still vastly underrated, despite winning a Super Bowl and going back for his second appearance. He's a quality individual both on and off the field.

As for the Packers.....one of the biggest collapses in NFL history.

Being a Bears fan, I can honestly say that Aaron Rodgers is one of the top (if not THE top) QB's in the NFL. I don't like the Packers, but I think Rodgers is a superb QB. Wish the Bears could find someone half as good as he is.

[427TJ]

I don't blame Kearse for being a little wound-up after the game he had and then that great catch to win the game. Plus, the sports media is not exactly the friend of the athlete. Sports writers have careers to tend to and sometimes the real story isn't good enough so they fluff it up with innuendo and false accusations. Kearse knew he would be skewered if Seattle had lost and when he redeemed himself in such a big way he just had to blow off all that steam. Same with Sherman last year.

Aaron Rogers said that they were the better team. I know what he means but Seattle was the better team because Seattle stuck together and never gave up. The Packers got conservative too many times on Sunday and when Seattle began playing, with 3:09 to go in regulation, the Packers basically fell apart. Seattle was the better team because they kept their faith in each other and won in a stunning fashion.

[69 Post Sedan]

If you take one of the multiple things for the Packers during this game and have it go their way, the outcome most likely would have different.

(1) Get in to the end zone one (or more) of the three possessions they were within the 10 yard line just in the first half.

(2) They should have been ready for the fake 3 point attempt. Even I was thinking they would do it.

(3) Clinton-Dix breaks up the hail mary pass for the two point conversion.

(4) Morgan Burnett runs for more yards after the interception instead of sliding.

(5) Bostick does his job and blocks instead of trying to catch the onside kick.

(6) Most of all......McCarthy makes better calls instead of being too conservative.

Better play calling, playing better and most of all, luck was on the Seahawks side the last three minutes of the game.

Now....that can go both ways but Seattle made more mistakes throughout the whole game and would have needed more than one thing to change the outcome.

The bottom line is, the Packers lost and it's just a game that we have no control over.

For the record, I will be rooting for the Seahawks to win because they are in the NFC and I like Russell Wilson....a former Wisconsin Badger.

</div></div>On your number 4 statement above I still wonder about. Why did he slide down rather than try to get as much yardage as possible? At the time he slide down I don't remember seeing a Seahawk within 10 yrds. of him. What confused me even more is that the announcers said that he did the right thing in sliding down, huh? Would someone please explain to me why he did the right thing by sliding down. I'm a Packers fan and still haven't gotten over this loss.

[Xplantdad]

Staying in bounds and trying to run out the clock?

Part of the conservative-play mindset that led to the Packers' loss. I think his teammate yelled &quot;get down&quot; after he made the interception so he slid and protected the ball. That same Packer who yelled &quot;get down&quot; (or something to that effect) then fell on top of him so as to further protect against a subsequent fumble. Heard that explanation on the post-game on Monday.

I think the announcers agreed with the slide because NO ONE saw the Seahawks coming back and winning that game, not even Aikman up in the booth. Just as in money-making on Wall Street it's the risk-taker who more often than not succeeds while the cautious, conservative guy might hesitate or stand pat. Both are 'correct' depending on the outcome. Had the Packers won then the slide would be seen as the smart play. They lost so the slide adds to the list of possible mistakes by the Packers.
