Official Packers vs. Vikings Gameday Thread

[woodbuck27]

Seattle looked awesome in OT winning the coin toss and with Russel Wilson showing such composure to end it on a pass to S. Rice who was clocked at the goal line but had a solid possession.

Packers are now in first place in the NFCN. Amazing how quick it can turn around. We'll move up from 9th in the NFL POWER RANKING after this big win. A win that certainly wasn't obvious until play after Mason Crosby's FG.

Not if Seachickens win.

Also TB needs to win. MINN dropped to 6-6.

Ohh my goodness that Indy win over Detroit..amazing. The poor Lion fans.

The Lions are stunned by Indy with a last play toss and short run for six and a 35-33 win over the Lions.

I love the NFL.

Saw that and was in fear for a hold call.

Regarding the Newhouse pancake of Jared Allen after he slipped...

Do I need to resign myself to the fact that that call is an accurate interpretation of the rules? Or do the officials fk that call up all the time?

Bulaga in particular has had about five holding calls go against him pver his career when the OLB or DE goes wide, slips to the ground, Bulaga ends up on top, and the official calls holding.

It depends on your hands. Nothing about the slip puts the O line in jeopardy except that it exposes his hands to view by an official. Especially if the D line and O lineman are twisted in relation to the other. If you have your hand outside the shoulder and are pulling jersey OR it seems like its giving you leverage to knock the guy over, then you are getting called. Better to reset or let go. Hard to call because officials are told to let it go if its not giving o lineman an edge. Part of the reason why it looks like its called when the O lineman is winning.

Newhouse was going to be OK unless he had his head or back of jersey.

'13 all' tie bet. 49ers and RAMS.

Their into OT for the second time this season.

I was almost going to the RAMS this week and don't they pull a win off in OT defeating the 49ers 16-13. You just can't tell who will win in so many matchups. It's that close in terms of true parity.

stl beats sf.

Amazingly, Packers are only a half game out of the #2 seed. Given the status of their offensive line, I don't know if the Packers are capable of winning out, but you never know.

49ers remaining schedule:

14 Sun December 9 Miami Dolphins
15 Sun December 16 @ New England Patriots
16 Sun December 23 @ Seattle Seahawks
17 Sun December 30 Arizona Cardinals
