Great win. Team win. Huge win.

Running twice on 1st and 2nd down were a bad decision. Didn't like it for 53 yard FG or whatever it was for 31 points.

Love everything else about this. NFC Championship Game coming up baby!

I wonder how much the fear of Aaron Rodgers uncorking a Hail Mary after he rolled left allowed Jared Cook to get open where he did.

RARE GOOD POINT BY FLORIO. MAYBE HE DOESN'T HAVE CONTROL OF TWITTER ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW. THAT PLAY LOOKED LIKE A HAIL MARY IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS

It was the biggest upset that the Packers (12-6) have posted in the postseason since the watershed divisional victory at San Francisco in 1995. They were a 10 ½-point underdog that sunny afternoon at Candlestick Park and a 5 ½-point underdog before a crowd of 93,396 in the football palace erected by owner Jerry Jones.

The reaction afterward was similarly ecstatic. The Packers became just the second No. 4 seed in the NFC to beat the No. 1 seed in 11 matchups since the present playoff system was inaugurated in 1990.

What a Game! I don't really like it when my favorite team plays my second favorite team, but a win is a win is a win.

Let's keep it going and really run the table. I can't help thinking that 1. It's kinda descending order - Atlanta should be not quite as tough as the Cowboys and New England or Pittsburgh should be another slight step downward, and 2. As good a win as that was, the Packers weren't playing their best. I thought they played better against the Giants and are capable of better games the rest of the way.

Don't know where to put this, so here goes. A lot of us seem to hate Buck and Aikman equally. But I find Buck much more grating than Aikman, maybe because of what he does with his voice when a big play happens. Yesterday at the end, when Cook came up with The Catch, Buck initially thought it was incomplete and then realized that the back judge had overruled the side judge. He paused, and Aikman started to say something about the awareness and body control that Cook had just demonstrated, and Buck had to jump in and cut him off in order to say (in fact, repeat Aikman's) "unbelievable!". That made me realize what a prima donna Buck really is.

Is it just me or does Buck try to jinx the Pack by bringing up obscure, "I could care less" statistics? Like Arod's TD streak w/o an INT just when the Cowboys need a TO to get back in the game. Or like mentioning the record for comebacks by teams down 18 points.

And I don't know where to put this, but I'm not feeling the love this AM. I turn on the NFL Channel and it's a Cowgirls lovefest. "Team of the future." "Dak and Zeke will be even better next year." All the game film focuses on Dallas #88 beating Gunter for a TD. Or Dak celebrating his own heroics. Then I look at the front page and there it is: Cowboys Loss Equals A Slump In Super Bowl Ticket Prices.

Well, excuse us for beating Dallas and ruining your day, pardners. Nevermind that the Pack went into the house of the "best" team in the NFL and beat them with a banged up defense and backups in the secondary.

Oh well. Next stop Atlanta!

P.S. As for Arod's throw...I'm a guy who can pass a football maybe 20 yards max on a good day. Arod is on the run and in a split second flicks the ball downfield, what, 30 yards and puts the ball in the perfect spot. And then it comes out that it wasn't even a set play. Arod drew it up on the ground in the huddle like in a school yard.

Not to mention Cook's catch which is every bit as spectacular as Beckham's one-hand grab that gets played ad infinitum.

And now the Cowgirl fans are blaming the refs...

Each of those holds is a first down though, right? At 12 seconds (start of play for Cook's catch) they get two of those at least, right?

If Rodgers is smart and sees it, throws it away right away, might set you up anyway.

Defensive holding is only a 5 yard penalty and an automatic first down. The thing is, they couldn't do it and run out the clock because a game can't end on a defensive penalty. Packers would have been guaranteed at least one more play regardless.

WRT the suggestion the Cowboys commit 4 professional fouls on the same play to stop Rodgers from doing what he does, it does constitute unsportsmanlike conduct (15+5) and doing it on consecutive plays constitutes a palpably unfair act (7 pts). No you cannot do that in that situation.

Someone used this idea this season. I think it was the Rams and they got away with it.

It was the Ravens holding on a punt. Since the clock went out and there was no defensive penalty, the game was over. Refs erred in that there should have been a professional penalty assessed and they should have given the opponent a chance to return an untimed free kick after the safety or given the opponent possession at the spot of the foul (turnover on downs) and one untimed play on offense. The opponent should have been given their choice between the two.

League admitted to this and apologized IIRC. It takes a ballys and knowledgeable ref to call it correctly.

NFL also needs to change the rule. Game should never end on an accepted penalty.

They thought about doing that but, after tearing Adams' jersey off his back earlier, determined the refs would never call defensive holding anyway so it wouldn't work.Love this even more! hahaha

But how many times has that been called in a game?

edit: I see smuggler answered first. I found something different about the league reaction though.

It was the Ravens, and the second time they did it...first time was in the Super Bowl! The difference is that they were on offense - a game can't end on a defensive penalty, but it can end on an offensive one.

NFL made a statement wrt to the 'palpably unfair act' and said it would only be so if they had done it on consecutive plays.


@MarkMaske
NFL says end of Ravens-Bengals game officiated correctly. Not a palpably unfair act to use that tactic on one play... (continued)

@MarkMaske
... (2 of 2) If Ravens had used same intentional holding tactic on a second straight play, it would have been palpably unfair act, NFL says.

My example was 49ers and Saints, end of first half.

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/11/nfl-49ers-saints-defense-intentional-penalty


Here’s the situation: New Orleans has the ball 13 yards out from a touchdown. There are seven seconds left in the first half, and the Saints have one timeout remaining. They have time for one shot at a touchdown before they have to kick a field goal.

So what do the 49ers do? They intentionally hold all of the Saints receivers, Brees has to spike the ball and six seconds run of the clock, preventing the Saints from taking a shot at a touchdown because a penalty call does not put time back on the clock.

Nice!

I missed seeing a despondent Jerrah in his owner's box or down on the field after the last second field goal.

He's covered for two more Super Bowls. A real window of opportunity.
