Well, that went exactly as I predicted it. Packers dominated in game that the scoreboard had closer than it looked :D
Also, the 2 point conversion was a good idea. It was an good idea with the FG operation nominal, it was an excellent idea when the operation was not nominal.
But I need about an hour to work out all the scenarios. As in, do Cowboys attempt 2 pointer if you are within 2 points?

Aaron Rodgers: unclutch.

Best thing about this win is now Dallas thinks we got their number...home and away. If we had lost, that mystique would have been broken.

At http://bobmcginnfootball.com : Four late R1 picks from the '15 draft have been traded in the last 40 days. CB Damarious Randall should be next.
How awesome is that? Another unbelievable final drive to drive yet another stake in the heart of the Cowboys. What a performance.Quote:

He's not wrong. A few good plays does not out do the screw ups he will make. Then again what do I know. I wanted to get rid of Davante Adams...Quote:

You gotta be happy for him after being strapped down, carted off and ambulanced to the hospital last week.
I may be overly exuberant yet, but that feels like it could be a transformational experience for Adams. He will become known as Big Play Davante.
OK 2 point break down. I was confident the first time I ran through in in GD thread. Less confident when I posted it in Banjo, so let's take it apart.
First things first, the operation as Zook calls the snap and hold were better in second half, but I doubt anyone was oozing confidence in TAYBOR™ and Vogel. So the advantage might have been greater given their performance in this game.
Remember Cowboys are built to mil clock, even with Packer defense coming back in second half, Cowboys drives were long and time consuming.
28-24 after Randall Pick 6. No matter what Cowboys can't get a FG to stay in game.
If you make a 2 pointer, you are up 6. If they score it and go for 1 (30-31), you can win with FG
If you miss 2 PT, you are up 4. If they score and go for 1 (28-31), FG ties it. They could go for 2 to force you to get T, but I doubt it when odds are high of a tie at home.
If you kick the PAT and make it, 29-31 after Cowboy score. Depending on clock, VERY good chance the Boys go for 2. Kicking a PAT for a 2 point lead is no different for 1 point lead.
If you kick the PAT and miss (a definite possibility today at 32 yards), 28-31 after Dallas TD, they will not got for 2 and a FG nets a tie.
Rodgers delivered 3 4th Q comebacks in one game. Unclutch indeed.
Oops. One goes to Randall actually.
Troy was all confused during the game, but he was right that DR has some growing up to do. But it was during his best sequence of the game that he insisted this, so point may have been lost.Quote:

Randall is an exasperating guy. Packers will try to be patient with him because at times he does show why he was a 1st round pick.Quote:

I don't hear the bias. Pretty sure he said the penalty on Martinez was a bad call. You're saying he doesn't praise Rodgers? I think he does regularly.Quote:

This was so funny. The 5-10 second pause where he didn't know what to say had me LOLing!Quote:

Man it's great being on the other side of that.

The drive was just vintage, untouchable Rodgers, with the Packers legend making breathtaking plays both on the ground and through the air. Other than the touchdown, the key play came on a third-and-eight on the Dallas 30, when Rodgers scrambled for 18 yards past helpless, diving defensive linemen in a dizzying display of ability.

THIS AARON RODGERS, HE DOES IT IN DALLAS SO MUCH, I CALL HIM DEBBIE.

I was following the gamecast on my phone, as they dinked and dunked 4 yards at a time, thinking, “yeah, cool, run it into them.”
And then with over a minute to go they get the TD, I’m pretty sure I thought to myself, “welp, there it is, Rodgers is gonna do it again.”
God I fucking hate Rodgers.
Either his typing stinks or his grasp of the English language needs work.Quote:

Does forward progress still count if the runner brings the ball back on his own?
Football Zebras
Yes it counts, but the exception would be if he retreats under his own power to try to attain more yards, like if he got to his feet & run
