Official GB Packers vs. NY Giants Game Day Thread

the D needs to make a big stop here before the half.

[mmmdk]

Damnit, I hate the Danish commentators - they don't believe in the Packers and they haven't all season. They are "oh so sure" Eli will produce a scoring drive before the half...

STOP'EM PACKERS D This maddens me!

It would be if it was called on every play it happens......

I think these sorts of things are like speeding. The highways would be a very different place if they pulled over everybody who speeds, and everybody would spend half their time on the road getting pulled over. So you just pull over enough people to try to give passers by the idea that they probably should watch it a little bit. Even so, a lot of people get away with it when the authorities just don't notice.

It's the same way with illegal contact or offensive holding. You can call it on every play if that's all you're looking for.

I agree on holding on the line of scrimmage but I'd call it in the secondary since it doesn't occur every play, at least with most teams....

Interpreted strictly, the rulebook says that the defensive back shouldn't even touch the receiver beyond five yards, yet it happens, a lot. I think that you likely could call some kind of illegal contact on every play where a defense plays man-to-man and the defensive back doesn't completely screw up in coverage. It might not be every play, but it happens a lot. You get away with it a lot of the time, and it gets called some of the time.

I really don't like giving up the big catch there.

[gbgary]

I would agree that a hand on a guy shouldn;t be called, but any kind of chuck should, or they should change the rule.

They should look at that upstairs.

He sure has good hands....I never thought he was that great with the Steelers.

[4and12to12and4]
