Go Pack Go
Posted: January 11th, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 778 Comments »There are 46 brave souls who stand between us and armageddon. I’m speaking of course of the Green Bay Packers. They host the Dallas Cowboys at 1pm and must fight off the worst menace the Earth has faced in decades. A win by Green Bay restores balance in the universe and gives hope to mankind. A loss…and we’re one step closer to all joining doomsday cults and preparing for endtimes.
Today, we’re no longer Eagles fans. We are Packer Nation. And we must prevail.

Rex Ryan is the new coach in Buffalo. That’s wild and will certainly make the Bills more interesting. I would highly question this pairing, but he hired Greg Roman to run his offense. Roman did great things with the SF running game in recent years and is an ideal fit for what Ryan wants. This might be the offense that gives EJ Manuel his best chance to succeed.

Dick LeBeau re-signed as DC of the Steelers. But he didn’t retire. Sounds like he didn’t want to be part of rebuilding that defense. CB Ike Taylor and SS Troy Polamalu are likely to be cut. Apparently LeBeau wanted to leave with them.
Would he be a good fit as an assistant here in Philly? Maybe. Bill Davis runs a variation of the Steelers defense. That said, it doesn’t seem like Davis does nearly as much zone blitzing as LeBeau, who brought it to the NFL. LeBeau is a former NFL defensive back and would be of interest as someone to oversee the secondary, if he would want such a role.
If Todd Bowles gets a HC job, I could see LeBeau going to Arizona to run their D. He has a home out there and is friends with Bruce Arians, who used to run the PIT offense.

No updates on the Eagles search for a new personnel guy.

I was yelling so angrily (prior to that) that my roommate’s dog was hiding behind a chair. Then…the yelling changed. It was just as loud, but with a much happier tone. One of the great moments in Eagles history.
_
This is it boys, the battle for the free world begins now.
get em.
lucky cowboys again
Jesus Lambeau looks throwback as hell today. Muddy and everything.
Alright nice start, let’s go!!!
Saw that run coming all the way, was hoping they were going to play action to start.
atta boys.
jesus, Eddie Lacey has put on a lot of weight lol.
Packers success looks to be more dependent on Lacy more than Rodgers. Rodgers looks pretty darn hobbled on that out to Nelson.
YES!
GET EM LACY.
Cowboys’ Run D is weak. Keep on mauling them.
NEW YORK BOZO! NEW YORK BOZO!
MAUL THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!
Can Marinelli do another act of God and get this defense to be shipworthy against Green Bay?
Kind of easy to be ship worthy when the refs don’t call penalties against your defense (reference to Lions game).
Eh, again, it really shouldn’t have mattered. I’ve pretty much given up on Stafford–he had his time, and has never played truly as well as Kaepernick or even Cutler. Stafford, in the second half, is the main reason the Lions lost. With Megatron and Tate? That defense should be incredibly easy to pick apart, even if you don’t have GB’s running game. You can be an idiot and read a defense well enough to be effective. You just have to have a footballer’s instinct and intuition. Stafford’s great physical talent and minimal intuition has been covered up long enough.
The real issue is how egregiously the Dallas OL was allowed to hold on passing plays.
That too.
Can’t believe i have to watch this joke of a cowboy Defense in thee second round of the playoffs,…as if a 6 win Panther team with a QBS who should be waived being so underdeveloped after 50 plus starts ISNT bad enough
.
Demarco Murray? Dallas needs to be more concerned with stopping Lacy.
,.
Believe it or not, GB actually has the more well rounded OL DALLAS MAY BE A LITTLE BETTER RUN BLOCKING, but GB OL is better overall than cowboy OL.. Of course the media doesn’t realize that yet
YEAH RODGERS GET EM BOY!!!
Thank you.
Lovely TD!
WOO HOOOOOOO He moved well there.
Man, what a treat to have Rodgers as your QB.
Love how pissy Brett Favre was about him coming there too. Packers had him drop right into their lap at 24. Lucky lucky franchise.
To go from Favre to Rodgers and Manning to Luck are ridiculously fortunate for both franchises.
Fuckin pigs
I would rather have FOles with the seattle Defense, than to Have Rogers with the Eagles defense
Well how about neither which is where we’re at. sigh.
Just saying from a team building stand point… Rather have the best Defense in the NFL, then to have the best QB… I’m still waiting to see the top Qb Rogers prove that he can beat the seattle defense. Still waiting….
I like Foles but what that statement indicates the most is just how far our D has to go.
Not really..more indicative of how I view team building, having Top defense is more important than having the Top Qb, IMO
#jealous
How do people compare the Bama RB Yeadon to Lacy? I haven’t paid attention to college RB’s in YEARS… Tho I did like the kid the Rams drafted in the 3rd from Auburn
This drive is so important for Dallas… Quick 3 and out, and the Cowboys are in TROUBLE
On a good note, the Sixers won again last night!!!
Stupid, unnecessary hold
Anyone else feel like Gene Sterratore generally fucks up less than most NFL officials? Wonder if that’s intentional.
maybe hes one ref not in Jerry’s pocket
Why is dallas running right with Doug Free not playing? peppers will eat the RT alive today… Lol see
Nice job defending the quick screen you dumb cunts. Not like that’s a common play in a long down and distance or anything.
That stupid hold pretty much was the key so far on this drive.
The story of our defense this year
Story of our defense was Billy Davis trying to rush three and getting no pressure in 3rd and long or sending everyone only for Brad or Cary to end up desperately chasing a receiver as they ran past them.
actually Billy mixed up the coverages, mix up the number of players rushiñg the QB…throwing a bunch of different looks at opposing QBs and OL’s… Which is what he is supposed to do..
..Btw, chip kelly approved every single game plan billy are going into a game
That (Chip approving every plan) isn’t exactly comforting. You and I remember our 3rd down defense style differently. Yes, he tried to mix it up, but drop everyone and man everywhere were the two most popular. Both had major problems.
Accepting the penalty went from 2nd and 12 to 2nd and 2. That’s some quality Eagles long distance defense.
Troy when I think back to Tony Romo’s growth… *mute*
Whatever, I remember when the Eagles offense was moving on GB just like…..oh wait. Damn.
I think my prediction of and Arena League style game is looking pretty good. In other words, both defenses look pretty bad.
Bullshit PI call.
Here we go again with the refs.
They were not calling those against Dallas against Detroit.
Nice acting job ya prick. Can’t go a single quarter without an officiating fuckup.
pick up the flag. it’s only been 5 minutes.
They should just stop the pretense, and issue the refs Cowboys jerseys.
And the nightmare continues.
Good late hit, fuck him
I maintain that the 1 thing that will get me to stop watching football forever is going to be terrible officiating. What a joke. Couldn’t even make it through the first quarter without some awful call benefiting the Cowboys.
And so the Cowboys stand a chance I guess.
That arm was doing nothing to that receiver, both of their feet got tripped up and the Cowboys were awarded again thanks to the officials.
I loved the flailing that Williams did to sell it too. Reminds me of a bad war actor pretending he got shot.
It was a weak call, but not one where I don’t understand why it was called.
Green Bay got away with a late hit that wasn’t called.
Good.
GB getting away w/one wasn’t a complaint 😛
If it gives Green Bay a touchdown, I’m all for it.
Poetic justice would be a blatant missed or bad call costing Dallas the game. For the sake of my blood pressure, I’d prefer a 49 – 7 blowout.
I’m with you, I’m here acting crazy like it’s the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
That’s true, but really, the late hit would’ve put the ball at the 50 for a kickoff not give a practically free TD
Good chance one of these teams breaks a long return. These kickoffs are short, I’d guess due to the weather.
Rip their defense apart.
LeBeau ‘resigned’. Go Packers.
YES!!! HOLD ON THEM
Hooollldddiiiinnng.
League to refs: We can’t make it too obvious, so call some random 5-yard defensive holdings on the Cowboys so people aren’t suspicious.
Probably a real call considering how long Rodgers was back there. Cowboys get the fake calls.
On replay it was real. Wasn’t as blatant as I expected, but an obvious grab of the jersey.
Here comes a 21 point Green Bay quarter.
I don’t normally like TV commercials… but those NFL.com fantasy ones with the goofy team names cracks me up.
Don’t go away from the run
Or maybe do go away from it, shit
Damn Rodgers, that’s a TD if you’re on target
It’ll be there again. If the Cowboys don’t respect Nelson deep.
I’ve seen Rodger’s miss two passes now that you wouldn’t expect from the league’s best QB.
James Starks isn’t a bad player but I really hope they don’t plan on having him alternate with Lacy series for series. Lacy had a week off. He should be fresh. Use him.
YAYAYAYAYAY
Controlling the line, beautiful.
Love watching 3 strait runs for a first down. Good power football.
Did I miss something? Where’s Lacey?
Taking a series off. McCarthy you idiot.
Haha, blitzing Rodgers… He’s so fast.
Damn Rodgers, what’s going on?
Do we agree Seattle rather than gb has better chance to beat N E?
I’d rather see GB vs. NE. Either should be a good game.
My goal is for NE to lose not see a good game
My goal is for anyone but the Cowboys to win the SB. I don’t like NE or Seattle, but I’ll take either of them over the Cowgirls.
At least I got the Cowboys in my work sweepstakes.
Rodgers isn’t right. Ugh.
Damned missed practice is actually hurting. Fuck.
Practice!?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDBR2L5kzI
I’m going to friggin sick!!!
I might have to start drinking.
Jesus christ….. Green Bay is making Jeremy Mincey look like Gerald Mccoy.
The Packers O-line is winning the battles, fucking Rodgers isn’t right. Shit on this game, he better get on.
Put in Matt Flynn!!!!
ha ha
McCarthy better put Lacey back in the game and start running the ball.
It worked the first time I tried this last week, so….
Romo pick six coming up.
People laughed at me when I was predicting a Cowboys W. Now everyone is panicking.
It’s because the aliens in space jam took Rodgers talent. He’s missing throws that he usually makes.
It’s still early tho.
He’s playing with a torn calf.
I was aware it was possible. I was trying very hard to ignore that reality. I’m still expecting an Arena game 53 – 49 or so.
No one was laughing at you. Obviously God is intervening with the Cowboys this year.
Which is why I’m becoming an atheist after this game. He’s on my list now.
It’s all your fault. No Eagles fan should predict a Cowboys win EVER!!!!! You created bad mojo.
Messing up the juju…
http://newnownext.mtvnimages.com/2013/02/robert-de-niro-silver-linings-playbook.jpg
uh oh
lol. Packers secondary has been learning how to tackle from ours.
Sigh
Goddamn it to hell. I should have planned in advance. They don’t sell vodka on Sundays here.
More great safety play in the NFL. What a surprise.
What sucks is when you look at teams that win the SB, everything falls their way, fumbles, calls, weird things. Freakin’ Cowgirls have that look.
Like calf injuries to the other team’s pro bowl quarterback
Exactly.
No worries, they gotta get this drive here.
What is going on. Rodgers needs to get that discount double working
Calf injury is really affecting Rodgers’ play. Not rolling out and buying time like he usually does
Already missed a long td pass
I’m more concerned that he’s missing easy passes. He’s had two that should have been either TD’s or big gains already.
How did Rodgers get hurt anyway?
Suh cheap shot.
This is why I hate GB.. Regular season Looks like Tarzan, playoffs plays like Jane.
..When was the last time the best QB in the NFL won a playoff game? The SUPERBOWL years ago?
..
They better take care of this Dallas team, fortunately I was hypnotisized by waTching Jhalil Okafor so I missed the last cowboy TD
how the heck is dallas doing this with a bunch of nobodies on defense
They are the prime example of overachievers.
Rod Marinelli is really good.
Yup.
I normally don’t wish to be wrong, but this time I am just praying to not be right for a change.
When I think I am wrong, I am usually right.
I love being wrong when it serves my rooting interests…
THat was HUGE
Smart throw away. Really smart.
Run the ball right up the gut against Dallas.
might be a bad day fellas.
Back em up.
Y’all remember Thanksgiving?
Sigh…..
Good memories. Seems like a decade ago now though.
The Eagles didn’t play well but I still think it’s complete bullshit that the league sceduled us to be on the road against Dallas on Thanksgiving and then we played them 2 weeks later had them coming off of 10 days rest.
I like how Aikman, when the play was happening, called that block in the back a good block.
Turnover coming here, time to step up or sit out.
Here’s hoping that Kam Chancellor will destroy Dez next week.
I’m a big Jordy fan, but I feel like he has that “Bitch gene” In him that shows up during big games,,. Still waiting for them to remove the taste of watching them avoid richard Sherman like the plague, when average Cam Newton was willing to go after Sherman…
..
Rodgers/Jordy… Kinda soft when it matters most….. Please please please prove me wrong today and make me eat those words… I can’t stand the though of having to be a die hard SEAHAWK fan next week
Still easier than having to cheer for the Giants to upset the Patriots in the Superbowl.
Ha! But it worked is the amazing thing. That NE team was incredible.
I still haven’t watched that entire SB game
I freaking hate this magical ass season the Cowboys are having.
Took them like 5 years worth of continuity to get here.. Stability matters
Think what it would be like around here with 4 years of 8-8 and drafting all OL’s in 1st round…
Yeah it be unbearable.
..
I hate to admit this, but the one thing I respect about jerry, was that he wasn’t impulsive with firing Jasoni Garrett, everyone laughed at Jerry,but Jerry claimed that he was seeing growth in the young coach, and wasnt going to I give up on him and waste their patience with him so he could go grow into the coach Jerry thought he would be for some other franchise.
..
Don’t jknow how much of this success is attributed to Garrett, but some times patience, not making a move is the right move
Bad early sign. Dallas seems to be in 3rd and short a lot. GB’s been in 3rd and long a lot. GB needs to get ahead of the chains.
Seems Cowgirls are never in 3rd and long.
How does Witten get that open?
Every game it seems.
Dumb play by Romo, too bad it didn’t result in a turnover. Dammit.
I blame Chris Christie
I’m a Republican but if that jackass wins the nomination, I’ll vote for whatever whackjob liberal is on the other side.
He won’t get the nomination. I’m thinking it’s a Bush/Clinton disaster, so I’ll definitely be drinking on Election Day.
I would take Mitt Romney at this point…
Is Bob Dole still alive?
Yeah, a guy that made his money by destroying and liquidating business and putting people out of work and stealing their pensions. That’s seems like what people want.
Clinton should just run as a republican since she’s such a Wall Street lackey.
I’m voting for Warren, whether she’s on the ballot or not.
This is something I can agree with. This is why the political liberals make me mad. Warren is the best they’ve got and she’s more for the people than Clinton.
Talked with my cowgirl loving cousins about Christie. He can root for anyone he wants, but he can’t be helping his popularity in New Jersey.
This feels bad… Just have a bad feeling
If the Boys Score a TD here then it’s game over.
Not yet. Not a good sign, but lot of game left.
He proclaims every single game to be over at halftime… Nothing new
Lol. But this time Aaron Rodgers just doesn’t look right, does he?
Yeh it will be.
That Romo ass-grab needs to be a gif
RIDICULOUS SPOTS
He was 3 yards FUCKING SHORT!!!!!!
lol what.
They better change this, he was hit about 2 to 3 yards short of the 1st down, are you friggin kidding me????????
They better review this.
No excuse not to review this. No hurry up or anything else. Call this BS back.
Yeah they’re going to change this.
I stopped watching the game I got sick, relying on you guys for updates use many explanation points when good things happen
Watching Jhalil Okafor on CBS
OK I’ll go watch Justice Winslow
Good game, NC state playing Duke real tough. Olafor putting on a show tho
eat a dick, garrett.
i mean its not even close, that guy should lose his job
More of an explanation? Idiot
What is Garrett whining about lol.
He doesn’t get a timeout back on a booth review. STUPID
Surprised they didn’t call PI
seriously.
I was being sarcastic, but yeah seriously since the scumboys get ll the breaks.
agreed
Didn’t get his check yet.
Good no call, both players pushing each other. Actual good officiating, what a miracle.
After last weeks joke, it is a very pleasant surprise.
They’ve fucked up a couple times already.
Some media guys think fans are crazy when they tweet about NFL conspiracy theories, but which is worse for the NFL – purposely orchestrating a conspiracy or simple sheer incompetence?
Knew that play was coming. Surprised Romo dropped the snap, but as soon as he yelled kill, knew it was gonna be a deep pass. Thank God it was incomplete.
Did Joe Buck just said he’s down and he can’t get up? He should have a medic alert bracelet.
Who gets ball in the second
GB
Little time left I’d go for a quick fg
AHHHH SHIT< NOW THEY GET A BREAK CAUSE OF THEIR PENALTY
lucky ass cowboys will hit it now
False start is going to actually benefit Dallas. FML
He’ll make it, that’s the way it works. FRIGGGGGGG
No flag? Shocked.
Yeah, that’s what GB needed. Enough time to get in FG position too.
Beautiful, down 7 is hard to believe after this mess. Come on now!!!!!!
There might actually be a god that is good
That must be like kicking a chunk of ice. Don’t see him miss that often.
Plus they should have good field position.
Good field position too, GB might get points here.
nice face
It’s a 7point game… How the hell is everyone acting like the game is over? WTF.. Thought we were down like 17 the way you guys were talking
Cowboy hate trumps logic.
True,..and Fair!
Lol I love how you said we
Damn right it’s WE today!
..
Been watching the Duke game, reading comments, though GB was getting killed the way people were talking
Watching that now
Do you expect us to be positive about any game where Dallas is in the lead at all? Also, Dallas was driving and just missed a FG. Easily could have been a 10 or even 14 point game.
No, but wtf.. I don’t expect to see German Eagle saying the game is over, when we are down 7 at halftime… Wtf
As you mentioned, he thinks every game is over by half time 😛
Also, GE said ‘If the Cowboys score a TD it’s over.’ Thankfully that didn’t happen.
Wow nice catch lol.
WOW FINALLY SOME NICE PLAY!
GB can’t score 7 points in a half this on the offense
This game feels like they are down like 17-21, This is great going into the half.
Cobb sucks. Ha
Erroneous
Sign him Howie!
SHove up the boys ass for a change
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sorry Mike P. You’re wrong. Ha.
Unreal
Sorry to be that guy but… Lawrence has infinitely more sacks than Marcus Smith
Lawrence is a 4-3 guy. Don’t think he can work in reverse.
Talented kid.. Played like a Warrior at Boise… But he was one of those character concerns that chip would never consider…
..
What happened to the GB WR’s? Can’t anyone get open?
No heart… Pussies conceded half the field to Richard Sherman..what a joke
Did Sanchez and Rodgers switch bodies?!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Strong arm. That’s a part of what Luck, Dalton, can’t do…and what QB have to be able to do in the postseason.
Luck doesn’t have a strong arm? O_o.
I know really? LOL
No. Bruce Arians tried to have Luck throw passes like that his rookie season. Great way to have interceptions.
Luck? Luck’s arm is plenty strong.
Def strong, but it’s not Big arm Flacco type strong
Luck has a huge arm, arm strength is not his problem
Didn’t say he wasn’t…
..
Nevermind, just realized who the delusional fool was to start this ridiculous debate
Flacco’s at the extreme end of the scale. There are only a handful of guys imho who are on his scale.
Yup.. Flacco is top Tier… luck is the next tier Down which is plenty arm strength..
I think Kaepernick has more pure arm strength. Puts a tighter spiral on the ball than anyone I’ve ever seen. Flacco’s touch is infinitely better.
Kap has no touch. Flacco’s arm is there with Vicks, Cutlers, and Staffords. Kap’s in the vicinity and I’d put him in the same category, but I don’t think he’s stronger. Cam’s in the same vicinity.
Whoa . . . wait a minute. Luck can’t? Luck’s got plenty of arm. He’s a bit scattershot, but nothing wrong with his arm strength.
But Luck can’t make that sort of deep out with that little of an arc. He also can’t drive a ball past about fifteen or twenty yards.
He lacks the accuracy to hit that pass consistently, but it’s not an arm strength issue.
Sort of is. Nick Foles can throw a ball 57 mph. Yet he can’t drive the ball to the outside with low arc and past ten yards with any accuracy at all. Almost always have to do bucket throws.
Yeah people call foles a big arm qb and then I know they don’t know what they are talking about.
Being down 4 is a gift!
Yep and they get the ball back to start the 2nd half. Go back to Lacy like you did on your first drive.
My god it feels like a blowout, I hope this is a case of Dallas losing cause they couldn’t take advantage. We still have hopefully the big Romo int coming. Rodgers hasn’t practiced since thurs, so after those last few throws hopefully he’s getting it back, and we can relax the rest of the playoffs and get ready for next year.
Screw an INT. I want to throwback to the days of Romo fumbling the potential winning FG snap.
Do we need that kind of heart trouble though?
Yes, because the Pringles and ranch dip aren’t doing enough for me.
Might be my favorite memory in NFL history
Dallas should be up be at least 14, take the lead on the first drive after half.
I want to see Dallas lose to a gimpy ass Rodgers. That would make me happy.
Dallas lose, that’s all I care about.
Don’t care if they lose in triple OT to a Matt Flynn 74 yard Scramble TD as long as thy lose
In fact…that would be my preferred way for them to lose
I don’t care if they call Mark Sanchez and he comes in to lead them to a 99 yard drive in the last 2 minutes to win the game. Beat that!
They call in Bradley Fletcher and he shuts down Dez Bryant and has 3 INTs in the 2nd half, two of them pick sixes!
WOW, game, set and match. Nice
How about Dez Bryant is running towards the end zone with no time left and the GB up by 5 and Chris Christie gets excited jumps up and down cause the ground to crack and causes Dez to fall and be touched down at the 1.
Don’t care if GB signs Bradley Fletcher who is then matched up one on one with Dez on the 5 yards line in double OT and he intercepts the pass which is returned 94 yards and fumbles at the one yard line where Tony attempts to pick it up but botches it, and falls into the endzone and GB wins by a safety
I don’t care if GB gets DeSean Jackson on the field and he catches the game winner with zero time left on the clock and he flips the bird and says F you Philly! You suck! I’m the man!!!
Well you win…
I’ll take the big Panda Bear please.
That was painful when we played Washington, still to early.
I hear you, but Dallas won out, so it would’ve just stretched out our pain if we beat them(skins) and we were trying to come up the most disgusting way to see Dallas lose and still be happy.
Is it just me or does Mike P get more wrong than he does right when they go to his “expert” analysis during challenges. I feel like every time he takes a stand one way or the other on non-obvious calls he almost always is wrong and the refs call the play the exact opposite.
Not that I’ve noticed. It does prove just how close and arbitrary many of the calls that are reviewed are that he misses at all.
Considering how crappy the Packers played in the 1st half, this is good. They got little momentum there at the end of the half, lets see if they can build on that in the 2nd half.
I”m freaking out of my mind happy, they should be down 14-17, that’s as good as Dallas is going to look and they could only muster a 4 point lead.
Brian Dawkins tweet:
One of the concerns of any injury, especially a calf, is it potentially stiffening up at half time.
Stay on that exercise bike.
U took the words out of my hands.
you keep words in your hands?
On a chat board, we all do. (I had the same thought initially).
Very true
Yeah, I’m sure they are working it real good, considering he hasn’t practiced since Thursday, those last few passes show that he’s ready to go. I think Dallas blew a chance to have a nice halftime lead.
Nice start! Let’s go!!!!!!!!
Start ramming down their throat!!!!!!!!!!
3rd and short makes a nice change to what we saw way too much of in the 1st half.
And Lacy came up short. . . . least he did on 1st glance.
Glad to be wrong.
NIce not going three and out. Good start.
Rope a dope them by pounding Lacy and then – FLEA FLICKER!
Come on ROdgers!!!!!!
Can’t land on that left leg. Making balls high.
Completely unrelated but why the hell is Rex the new coach for Buffalo that pairing make no sense to me
No clue. I have no clue why anyone would hire him after the disaster that was the NYJ, let alone someone in the same division.
Not that I don’t think he should have been hired it is just that the Bills and Ryan doesn’t make sense, if the Falcons did it then I’d get it but, the BILLS?!?!
It’s almost an exact mirror image of what he had when he first arrived in New York. Yes, the Falcons would have made some sense. A team with a ton of offensive talent that needs someone to remake the defense? Rex seems like a solid choice. A team with no QB and a lot of talent on D? Didn’t we just see close to a decade of this in New York?
Exactly! This is the same team he inherited in the first place but without a high pick to spend on a QB
That Def should be elite though
They already are
I think it’s the owners. They want to make a big splash and this is how they do it.
WTFFFFFFFFFFFF
Rodgers. Is. Not. Aaron.
Yeah, he’s been off more than I’ve seen all season.
Aaron. Is. Not. Rodger.
WR’s and TE’s aren’t helping him much either.
He’s better get accurate fast. Come D TURNOVER!
Question: If Foles gets the rap as “injury-prone”, shouldn’t the same be said of Rodgers?
Super Bowl win
Seeing Cowboys DBs plastered all over GB WR’s makes me wonder how good the WR’s actually are and how much of it is just Aaron Rodgers being unreal.
Oh BS.
lucky mofo
Can I get Dez Bryant to negotiate my next raise? He always seems to win his arguments.
Keep throwing with your eyes closed Tony.
OOOOO TIPPED BALL NO PI
2nd huge mistake by Tramon Williams. Missed the tackle on the long Terrance Williams touchdown earlier too.
um hard to tell
I don’t see a tip.
Nothing definitive. Dammit.
ruling stands
Yep that last look showed it.
Gonna lose the challenge. Tramon Williams fucked up again.
Last look before commercial break you see the tip
You guys will see it when they come back.
Let’s all hope you’re right.
Thought NFL.com had info early. They said it was reversed and then switched it.
See the player knows for sure if he touched it or not, so it’s a matter will it show on the replay.
Wishful thinking
Peppers has to say something
Dopey shit, Packers are starting to play and coach desperate.
You’re the player, you know you didn’t touch it, tell the coach
that’s what we needed!
YAYAYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA PEPPERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU DEMARCO MURRAY!!!!!!
finally
WOWOWOWOW What a game changer.
What happened!?
FUUUMMMBBLLLLEEE!!!!
YEEEEESSSS!!! CAPS!!!! EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!
Thank you Murray haha.
Peppers tipped it that time!
Murray willl fumble for you.
Julius Peppers shows why we need superheros.
Packers OL is playing like shit.
Nevermind.
Peppers play of the game, damn. Come on OFFENSE!!
GB better capitalize here.
If GB scores that will be a 14 points swing.
They weren’t even in FG range how is that 14 point swing?
Murray was gonna go for a TD otherwise. Was wide open all the way to the endzone.
sorry not watching just basing this off box score, thanks
Thank you.
No problem ;P
BIG BOY LACY
GOING CRAAAAAAAAAAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
That’s what I’m talking about.
I;ve lost two wheels on my computer chair so far
That’s on DALLAS Better not call offsetting
I have the bad feeling this is going to be called on the Pack.
Ofcourse, can’t call anything real on Dallas
Wow… Shit got real in a hurry lol.
Well it’s weird to say this for an Aaron Rodgers led team but…just keep RUNNING!
Whistle hadn’t blown yet if flag is on Lang.
SHOULD be on Dallas, but pessimist in me isn’t happy.
Better not offset, Dallas started the shit
Lang was making a block, play was still going, fuck that
From what I saw, could call 2 unsportsman likes on Dallas. OMG. That is SUCH BULLSHIT.
The friggin play was still happening
But yeah, there’s no conspiracy.
they were about to score, can’t allow that
Guess GB was getting too close to taking the lead…motherf***CIEREGDP@OEYFGPO@IEU
I think it was the right call, whistles were definitely blowing when Lang went in there and hit him. Forward progress was way over. That was a dopey thing to do, all on Lang.
So, three guys go after him and knock him down?
Instigator got called. officials are better about that now.
And they ignored the extra toss of the runner after the whistle blew. As well as two Dallas guys trying to plant Lang in the bench after the play. Didn’t see and hear the block in regards to the whistle. If it was after, it was barely after.
Nah man the whistles were a good second or two before. Play was over, Lang was just cheap shotting all the way there.

Just rewound late hit. Lang hit the defender 0.4 seconds after the first audible whistler.
I guess Lang just needs to work out more, so his 320 pound body can stop its momentum in 0.4 seconds.

I could be wrong then.
I’m only halfway joking here. Packers’ security and off-duty police should arrest the officials on suspicious of accepting bribes and/or gambling.
Pack’s inability to make Dallas one-dimensional may cost them. Come on Romo, it’s January. You know you have to fuck up now.
Wow. That. Was. So. Lucky.
Romo hurt?
lucky
Nice time for GB defense to take a crap.
Think it might be a run after Romo comes up gimpy?
Hit him again. I don’t care if it’s after the whistle. Hit his sorry a$$ again.
Down by 8. No problem.
If Rodgers was healthy I wouldn’t be worrying but…
Well, that stupid penalty turned out to be costly. Packers are chokers.
We all know if Rodgers was healthy, they’d have 40 points by now.
Stupid BS penalty. I’ll give half to the refs, half to the player on that one.
Jesus this Green Bay defense sucks.
Wasn’t expecting a lot. Was expecting GB’s offense to be much better. Especially when you consider that Dallas’ D is mediocre at best.
They have to go down field here and get something. Romo’s hurt, bang him around cause a turnover in the 4th quarter. Shit now they are running good, that sucks
Be prepared for Russell Wilson or Richard Sherman to slip on a banana peel this week.
Yeah with our luck, Kam will take out Russell in practice while Marshawn, Rich and Earl catch the Flu
KR touchdown coming up here.
Unfortunately, you were al,out right…kinda.
Okay, I accept blame for that.
Unbelievable.
Freaking my god lucky shit, they better cal lthis on Dallas this time, they started this one
choking to the max
*sigh * what happened now?
fumble on KO but GB got back on top
Cobb fumbled. Scrum afterwards and flags everywhere. GB recovered but the only flag called was on GB for holding.
Please let these be against Dallas. Given how things have gone, I’m not hopeful. And I was right, penalty on GB.
Wow… no foul after the play there? Seriously?
That’s a freaking hold they called? Nobody grabbed him at all. WTF
So Dallas is allowed to get away with personal fouls? WTF
I know it will be a painful week, but Seattle will murder Dallas.
It cant get to that. It just cant.
It’s not, don’t worry, it’s not.
The thought of DALLAS playing in the NFC Championship game just sickens me. They cannot win this game.
Time for Rodgers to step up big time here, don’t they get tired of teams coming in and beating them on their own field in the playoffs?
Well time to drink some moreee
Why not more of the short passing game?
GB won’t lose this game.
Has Jordy Nelson caught a pass this game?
One
2 for 22 yards
A few, but he hasn’t been a major factor. Dropped a big one earlier.
3 for 33?
He’s afraid of the postseason.
There will be no one to root for in this superbowl. Indy maybe?
Who kidnapped Aaron Rodgers and replaced him with Mark Sanchez?
Ndamokung Suh. Dirty shot in season finale gave Rodgers a torn calf.
He had torn his calf back in the Bucs game
Aggravated it, then.
no flag, really?
good noncall
Agreed
HELLO??? FLAG PLEASE!?!?!?
Should’a caught it.
I was at the PA Farm Show in Harrisburg this morning. I have had my fill of cowboys until next year. Come on, Pack.
Are you a Harrisburg local, A_T_G? I’ve lived here my entire life.
I’m outside of Reading. Kutztown school district, in Berks.
MY parents are near Limerick. My son thinks the towers are cloud makers.
Farm Show week, cue the bad weather
You know it.
Yeah but there’s a difference between “not expecting a lot” and “not expecting them to give up 10 yards a pop to Murray when the Cowboys are clearly planning to run on every play.”
Dumbass.
u twat, quarless, everyone in the world knew a hard count was coming
Sweet move!!! Nice TD!
and hte peasants rejoice.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Probably too early to go for 2 here.
That’s the Rodgers we need to see
Luckily the Cowboys’ defense is terrible.
Wtf?! Go for 2 ffs.
Too early.
Normally yes. But not with AR hurt.
True, but that may be a reason not to do it too
yep if you miss it then score a TD and then Dallas is only down 5 as opposed to 6
Yeah you don’t want to chase points, as John Madden would say.
I know it is the standard wisdom, but I never understand that explanation. Why is it too early to try to fix the score differential? Being down by one sucks.
Cause one is guaranteed. You take it when it’s only a 2 point game last in the 3rd quarter.
but if you miss it, could mess stuff up let’s say Dallas gets a TD now you’re down 9
Slam Romo, and keep slamming him, don’t let them run on you. Come on DDDDD
Green Bay D needs to step the f up.
Romo diagnosis: Boo-boo left knee
Cowboys OC is schooling GB’s DC.
Jason Garrett has such an easy job, just stands on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and just watches.
Come on DEFENSE!!!!!
YES YES YES
Here comes screen play.
BEAUTIFUL WAY TO END THE 3RD YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Garrett is always good for abandoning the run game.
And he really, really shouldn’t this game. They’ve owned Green Bay’s DL. Especially in the 2nd half.
That’s a huge sack, hopefully can stop this dallas drive… I anticipate a quick WR screen here, with GB getting burned for about 15.
We’ve had two calls for a screen play. If they call one and it works, we should all apply for GB’s defensive coordinator position.
YES
Uh oh, third and long…. oh wait, not hte eagles
THere was an obvious hold they missed
Horrible playcalling by Dallas. YAY!
WEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAA
Really wussed out on that one.
If that was the Eagles that would have gone for 30 yards at least.
Nice fair catch fake.
I’ll say this much, if GB wins today they are not beating Seattle with Rodgers gimpy as hell like this.
Yeah only have 20 points against this D, Seattle will crush them. Need a healthy Rodgers to have a chance
Big drive here!!!!!!!! Let’s do this Rodgers, that’s why you get all those stupid commercials! We don’t see Sanchez doing discount double check shit for a reason.
Bad play call, bad execution, bad punt. This is the Dallas I enjoy watching.
http://scontent-b.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10914610_612229802241281_1054131025_n.jpg
If were posting memes I’ll drop this off
NICE MOVING THERE!!!!!!!!!
ROdgers is heating!!!!!!
Home field momentum building.
ugh power went out
WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO
Rodgers is in a groove.
Scary graphic. We all agree that Rodgers hasn’t played as well as we’d hope/expect. His QB rating is over 100.
Must be so nice to have the arm strength to complete some of these throws.
on one leg
Like THAT one. Damn.
Guys sitting there all day around 7 yards deep, beautiful.
That shot at halftime is starting to kick in!
Rodgers is catching fire, this is the guy the Cowboys are lucky they didn’t see all day.
Didn’t notice Packers have 94 more yards, doesn;t feel like it
Forget that statement.
nice push pass
TD here they need to go for 2.
Probably
That wouldn’t be chasing points any more?
I don’t get the logic.
We’re about to find out.
Timeout? Did the Packers rehire Andy Reid?
What a pass!
There it is.
Rodgers is unreal.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HE”S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wouldnt mind a shot of Jerrah and his BF right now
We need this!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a Nick Foles throw! jk.
Rodgers on 1 leg is still one of the best in the NFL
Biggest Lambeau leap fail. Ever.
http://scontent-b.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10881972_1392040381097482_184555483_n.jpg
OK we need DEFENSE TO STEP UP!!!!!!!!!!
We need Garret to keep ignoring the run 😛
Yeah, especially with gimpy back there, we need an int. Pleaseeeeeee
Damn, 2 point conversion fails.
Don’t like the call… fade is only a good call if you got a beast tall WR to go to, Packers threw it to a mediocre TE.
I am nervous :).
Sweat much? Drenched over here. I have coffee made but no way, last thing I need right now.
You’re still watching? Thought you said it was over at half time?? jk
so is that Rodgers with make up on in the State farm commercial? OR is that actually a lookalike
lookalike. cheaper than Rodgers.
Vegas knows how to set their lines, that’s for sure.
If the Packers hold on to win this, it’ll be that much better. A heartbreaking loss in which the Cowboys’ crappy defense melts down in the 4th quarter and blows a lead is much better for schadenfreude purposes than a blowout.
Need the refs to blow an obvious call to allow GB to win. That would be schadenfreude.
See Josh Huff? It is possible to run up and catch a short kickoff.
I had to explain to my 9 year old that shit ONLY happens to the Eagles lol
http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/10899575_372401866266077_1606795572_n.jpg
was hoping garrett would abandon the run
Where’s Matthews at?
GB goes to a quicker faster D-line this past offseason and the lack of stoutness shows.
GB has been awful against the run for years.
I don’t need these heart problems.
I’m becoming convinced DeMarco Murray isn’t actually that great. The holes that offensive line creates are ridiculous.
TURNOVER TIME!!
Also , from the farm show, I am now an expert on manure. This defense is shit.
Dom Capers could be available after tomorrow too.
I love how excited Joe Buck gets every time Murray gets the ball.
crunch
Wish it was a bigger crunch.
COVERAGE SACK!!!!!!! NICE!!!!!!!
There was such a ridiculously huge hold there.
Gigantic play here
Wow, Romo could have been really hurt on that one, was dangerous.
There’s the Tony Romo we love!!! Fumble or pic would be even better.
I didn’t think he would get up.
Crazy to go for it, wow
The weather is such that making a 49-yard FG would be difficult. All the kickoffs today have been short.
Sigh.
Juggled it?
“Big people beat up little people”
Guy’s a monster.
dont challenge that.
Ball definitely popped out… but i dont think it hit the ground.
no, it didn’t. The only way this gets overturned is if GB did it and Dallas was making the challenge.
That ball moved. I still don’t see an overturn though. Crucial call as it would mean GB’s down to 1 TO as well.
I don’t know, it was moving.
You guys still wouldn’t like to have Dez on the Eagles?!
Nope.
Best receiver in the league.. I don’t see who wouldn’t want him.
There were quite a few on here afair.
Character is more important than talent.
And yes, I’m full of crap.
When was the last character has won a super bowl?!
I don’t believe what I said. I’d take Dez in a second.
More TIC frustration over letting DeSean go for character.
Thats why our high character/small talent team is at home on the couch this weekend.
I think Chip is building character and then will blend in talent.
Oh no, it hit the ground for sure, if that’s the question, and he didn’t retain possession.
Is there a coach in the NFL worse at knowing when to challenge than Mike McCarthy? That was a catch. All you’re doing is wasting a timeout you might need.
Sam Shields has got to get a hand on that though, he was tracking it the whole way.
Juggled, it touched the ground? I’m pretty sure it touched the ground.
It doesn’t matter if it was a catch or not a catch. If karma exists, then it was a catch, and the refs will overturn it anyway.
That was actually a horrible call on 4th and 2. If this gets called complete, Cowboys are lucky as shit.
elbow was down first
You have to maintain the catch through going to the ground. It doesn’t matter if his elbow was down first. If he didn’t maintain control, then it’s not a catch.
I guess we see how big that check was right here. Was it “give us the benefit of the close ones” number of zeros or was it “make it happen” zeros?
YES!!!!!
YES YES YES YES
good
HA HAHAHA SUCK IT JERRRY
Mike P see’s overturn. YES!!!!!! Dallas deserves that in spades.
YAYAYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOD Exists!!!!!!! FOR NOW
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO yessss!!!!!!! Eat Shit Dez!!!!!!
Wow
OMG OMG OMG DEZ take off your helmet.
Live by the refs, die by the refs
I called that baby guys?
They overturned it??? YAHHHHH!!!!
It def touched the ground, and he was juggling.
Keep throwing GB, need to get the dagger in.
glad i was wrong on that one. nice call to challenge
Don’t think I saw the shot of Chris Christie after that overturn
OMG OMG OMG OMG Get a first down please!!!!!!!!!!
There is a football god (did not control to the ground)!
Yes!!! I won’t have to ruin my liver tonight!
Heck of a play.
WOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOW
mmm delicious
Goooodbyeeeee Dallas… Gooooooodbyeeeeee
Greatest WR class ever?
Could very well end up that way.
Certainly in the top 5. Wait a few years before we crown it.
Almost INT OMG OMG OMG Everything is working now!!!!!!!!
And the game ball goes to….
That shot of Demarco on the sideline . . . . DELICIOUS.
Davante Adams or Jordan Matthews?
Can we add DeMarco Murray face to the pantheon of faces?
Add it to Dez’s
Along with Dez Bryant face.
Cmon Quarless lol
What a dope!
Asshole play JESUS
They need to take that dumbass Quarless off the field.
I won’t argue with that. In fact, I’m quarrel-less.
booooo
+1
Damn offsides…..we need to get closer and it’s still a one score game even with the fg. Get a 1st down and wrap this baby up
Screw the first down. Bust one for a long TD. Then onsides kick, recover, and kneel down twice. Last play of the game, fake kneel down then a throw to Jordy for another TD. Might as well make it both a heartbreaking close loss AND a blowout.
I love you Buddy Ryan.
And then go for two.
Devante Adams was picked 11 spots after JMatt, who would you guys rather have?
Adams looks a lot quicker to me. JMatt obviously bigger.
Adams looks fierce after the catch. JMatt, I haven’t seen that. Time will tell.
Yeah, he’s way more dynamic with the ball in his hands.
Davante. Dude wins jumpballs while Matthews doesn’t even know where to start.
Why would u knock Matthews, he had a very good year. Its not like he’s Riley Cooper and he WORKS HIS ASS OFF and will only get better
Why does he deserve a pass? I’ll believe it when I’ll see it, he plays exactly like Maclin for a guy his size.
I think Matthews will develop fine. He is a compete WR that can also play SE and will be a force run blocking and screen pass blocking.
Watch next year when he destroys DBs blocking for Huffs TDs
What?

Now we know your level of true self loathing, being and Eagles /Lions fan lol
Throw in being a Browns fan and u have the trifecta of football depression.
He’s lucky he grabbed him. OH come on, one first down baby.
Pass or run here?
Short, safe pass play.
Yep, try to get in FG range.
Yean and you can burn clock, have to complete it.
I’d try anything inside 45 yards. So a 7-8 yard pass would do.
Need at least 10 yards to try figgie.
With Rodger’s at QB, you can pass.
Cant look at guys like dez and consider giving maclin real $
Maclin isn’t the best, but I think he’s about 10 or 11 on the list behind some really good players. Pay the man.
Megatron
Josh Gordon
Demaryius Thomas
Julio Jones
AJ Green
Antonio Brown
Dez Bryant
Jordy Nelson
ODB
Alshon Jefferies
Brandon Marshall
Randall Cobb
Emmanuel Sanders
TY Hilton
Deandre Hopkins
Andre Johnson
Mike Evans
Vincent Jackson
Top 12? I don’t know about that.
I looked put him after 11 of those guys
VJ has slipped a bit. Evans? A rookie? He’s good but not ready to say better. Nelson? I think Mac is better than both GB receivers. Easy to look good w/Rodgers. Would they be as good on the Eagles?
Sanders? He and Thomas benefit from Manning. Do they put up the same type of numbers here? Mac did a lot this year with bad QB play. These guys, not so sure that they do that much better than Mac. Flip Mac on those teams? I think he’s considered top 10 easy if he has Manning or Rodgers throwing to him.
That’s like saying “Maclin would suck elsewhere because Chip’s offense inflates everyones numbers”. Irony.
“What does Maclin do better than any of these guys besides running routes better?”
The key component of being a WR in this league.
Luckily, the NFL GMs realize that it isn’t.
Ummm, I’m pretty sure they do. If a receiver can’t run a route, how does he get open?
Maclin is good because he does everything well. He’s not the best at anything, but there isn’t anything he doesn’t do well. That’s what makes him an excellent receiver. He’s not a liability blocking. He’s not a liability in the RZ. He’s got muscle and knows how to use it. He can win jump balls.
Luckily, NFL GMs want receivers that do everything well.
You can teach anyone to run routes, that is why we have WR coaches. You can’t teach size, will, and ball skills. Maclin wins jumpballs? You’re going to have to provide examples because he rarely gets a chance (I wonder why).
Yes, that teaching has worked really well for those great receivers such as Benn, Momah, etc.
Momahtron!!
Benn was derailed by injuries. Momah played DE and WR in college not to mention he also was injured in college. Lets ignore guys like Demaryius Thomas, Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall who didn’t run great routes out of college either but are a tier above Maclin though to support your case though ok?
depends on the year if he gets in that range.
what the fuck are you talking about, mac is a legit #1
Packers did this drive all wrong, they were rolling, should have attacked instead of burning clock.
Wow!
game. blouses.
GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
AMAZING
Cowboys covered.
I CAN LIVE MY LIFE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I. Want. Cobb.
Will there be enough balls for Maclin, Dez, Cobb, and Mathews?
Keep Dez. I’ll take Cobb w/the rest of our guys.
Last game as cowboy for dez?
I hope.
No way. Jerry will cut half the team to keep him..
yeah, jerry world is going to throw the kitchen sink at dez
Were they instructed not to show fatso and pretty boy in their box?
Delay of game on Cobb? So the down doesn’t count?
No: Down counted. Game over.
Relax, after the play. Game over.
Schadenfreude indeed. Cowboys lose on a controversial overturn by the refs. Thank you very much.
Garrett becomes favorite to take one of several open coachng jobs after JERRY over-reacts to loss.
Get ready to hear “at least we have 5 super bowls” for the rest of the year…
But where is Jerry Jones and that fatty chris Chritie?
“It’s the power of video,” Fox Director Rich Russo told the Daily News’ Bob Raissman. “But we’re not going into this game looking for Governor Christie.”

Jones: you know what we are going to do tomorrow, Christy?
Christy: What, Jerry?
Jones: The same thing we do every election cycle, Christy. Try to take over the world!
After watching 3 NFC playoff games, the only team I think the Eagles would have beat with Sanchez at the helm would have been the Cardinals. Lions game would have been a toss up.
IDK I stll like us against Carolina
Not the way they were playing at the end of the year.
don’t care how well they were playing they’re still the panthers.
Hey you know what you can tell scumboy fans? Take your old, dusty Super Bowl trophies and shove them up your ass!!!!!!!!
To the Packers:
http://i.imgur.com/SXo0lSJ.jpg
MY GOD AM I HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta make my way to prideofdetroit and bloggingtheboys gonna be a blast
Eh, it’s all, “OMG THAT WAS A CATCH WE WAS ROBBED BY THE REFS!!!!!111”
Would love to know how many of them realize at best that makes it karma. Besides, it wasn’t a catch 😀
Of course the Fox NFL crew is going out of their way to disagree with the replay reversal.
Actually that ref dude who they go to during the game agreed it wasn’t a catch before the refs announced it.
Yep, I was surprised at that too
Thank God now I can go back to calling Jason Garrett “Marlboro Red”.
smoke em if you go em!
The question is why are they throwing a deep bomb when you have 4th and 2, and the best runner in the NFL and a TE who’s having a great game?
I said at the time it was an awful play call. Even with Dez, it’s no better than a 50/50. Cowboys blew it every bit as much as the refs helped em on that call.
refs didn’t help them, it wasn’t a catch
Agreed.
Andy-esque
I’ll give Garrett this – he has balls. Maybe not brains, but balls.
Who cares? it’s the Cowgirls.
What a great defensive play though, he just barely gets enough of the ball to change the outcome of that game.
Don’t always want to do what people expect. That was clearly a catch
Except it wasn’t. Boo hoo.
You could see the ball bounce when it hit the ground. Clearly not a catch.
No catch I 100 percent agree. Even that ref dude who does FOX called it before the field ref called it. That ball can’t hit the ground while being juggled. Now if it wasn’t juggled and he had a firm grip and it touched the ground, yes, it’s a catch.
was not a catch, said that even before perreira talked about it. that play has not been a catch for the past 5 years, just ask calvin johnson
I think he made that catch, he had possession and the ball forced it out BUT I am glad nonetheless and after what happened last week I think it is a fitting end to their season
But he didn’t have possession. It slipped out as he was falling and he didn’t get control until after it hit the ground.
Isn’t “possession” still “two steps plus an obvious football move”? That didn’t happen, so he would have had to maintain control until after the play was over.
I’m gonna have to watch that again but I think we are all happy with the call regardless
Here we go…

Looks like it was a “didn’t complete the process of the catch” ruling. It clearly hits the ground, but I guess he didn’t make a “football move” or whatever the phrase is…
yeah looking at it more I agree
can for sure argue if the rule is good or not but by the rules put in place it was a drop. maybe a bad rule, not a bad ruling
either way fuck the cowboys, the refs let them get away with murder last week
Demarco’s last game as a Cowboy I’ll guess
Yes and they will sign AP in the off season.
ugh with what money (assuming they’ll franchise Dez)….I mean knowing them they would just restructure 50 contracts
That would not surprise me. Shame, cause I doubt he ever has another season close to as good as this one.
Anyone think Denver has a shot vs. New England? I’m not loving their chances.
I’m with you. I think it’s slim to none.
I don’t.
Realized I’m assuming a win vs. Indy. I like Denver in this game, but not enough to call it a lock. Indy or Denver, don’t love the odds of either team knocking the Pats out.
Not any more. (After Indy won.) ;~)
Watching the Cowboys lose is almost as much fun as watching the Eagles win.
Second biggest pleasure during football season.
Tru dat!
It really was, especially knowing they could be one win away from a Super Bowl appearance. All the hoopla that shitbag franchise, Jerry Jones, Fat pig Christie, things are great right now, I’m so happy.
Thanks GB but now I could give two shits about you.
What’s the saying? The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I’ll be pulling for them next week. Not nearly as hard as I was this week though.
Agreed, I will too, just cause they did us a solid.
lol Trent Richardson is inactive
Some people just drunk and drive. Jim Irsay gets drunk and makes stupid trades
Just found this on Facebook. Had to share:
HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS! karma’s a bitch. i know the entire sports media industry is going to bitch about that call bc that’ll get rating for stupid cowboys fans but that’s the right call and you’ve had to do the same thing for the past 5 years.
To be honest, I hope the NFL says the ref’s blew it. It would make it sweeter.
That’s not one of those no doubt about it they blew it calls though, so they won’t. Did they last week when they should have?
Yeah, they gave Detroit the satisfaction of knowing that they were robbed. Not that it made any difference.
Ugh, makes it worse. They should still be pissed, even though they are happy Dallas lost I’m sure, they could’ve really done some damage on Rodgers today and would’ve had a shot.
Let me just say that even though I definitely think that Dez made that catch, this is still the perfect way for Dallas to lose after being gifted a win by the refs last week
I will agree the rule isn’t fair. The thing is “what is a catch and what isn’t” is a very difficult line. There will always be plays that straddle that line no matter what the rule.
How exactly is the rule unfair? I agree that there will be judgement calls no matter what they make the rule, but if you don’t maintain control when you hit the ground, it’s incomplete. Fair rule but not always black and white in the results.
Wasn’t a catch, but was close enough that it could have been called either way.
To me that was a catch. But I’ll take it. My mission is complete and now I don’t really care what happens in the rest of the postseason.
Not a catch by rule. Example of how players actually play is contradicted by officialdom.
All he needed to do was hold onto to the ball.
He didn’t.
Tough luck
I’m going to make a list of 3 people who won’t by playing in the Super
Bowl this year: 1. Dez Bryant, 2. Tony Romo, and last but not least 3. ME!!! Oh
well, I know how you guys feel.
Are there any bridges in GB that Christie can screw with?
He may have already done it.
http://images.marinas.com/med_res_id/25245
Fuck Dallass and I hope they enjoy the off season they are about to have.
Des doesn’t want to hear from the league that his effort should actually have been a catch.
Come on league , screw with his head. Please!
Now I await the great sage Jerry and his words of wisdom.
Just in case anyone wants to review the catch/non-catch…

the irony is he could have tucked it away but he half-committed to trying to break the plane to be a hero and that’s what likely caused the ball to come loose.
You’re right, he look like he was going for the stretch then stopped.
Bright side is the Cowboys will pick 28th
ProFootballTalkVerified account
@ProFootballTalk
Just heard Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli is expected to become the defensive coordinator in Tampa.
Good job with your one good season, Cowgirls. Marinelli is gone. Romo is taking up a huge part of your cap. Good luck re-signing both Dez and Mrray.
Eli’s receivers made those crazy catches and that’s why the Giants won 2 Super Bowls.
There will no apologies, the NFL didn’t waste any time: NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino tweeted shortly after the game,
“Bryant going to the ground. By rule, he must hold onto it throughout
