The Wild Card Weekend Thread

And that was Chris Christie. What the heck is he doing there?

Ensuring Jerruh's money is in his hip pocket during a presidential run.

The score 24-20 .... Dallas OVER Detroit.

That score fits the UNDER bet. I was wrong.

The last time that Dallas played in Green Bay in the playoff's was the 'Ice Bowl' game of 1967.

That's amazing to me.

Ah...the money shot.

I...I don't think you're quoting the right facts there.

All the Lions had to do was not lose - they had already won, they just had to not lose. And they lost.

Leading by 14 points in the 1st quarter ain't having a game won. In fact, "playing not to lose", aka, conservative football, is stupid as stupid is.

I stand by my arguement: Cadwell's conservative decision not to go for it on 4th and 1 in the Cowboys territory cost his team the game.

I would say if you are trying to get Republican nomination, being a Cowboys fan might be good for image.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Did anyone here really believe that the Lions would win this game?

I did.

They woulda won if they hadn't gotten conservative.

And that ref who picked up his flag on that PI late in the game is in line for a defense contract.

Correction:

Last time in the playoffs?

Agree?

[Tyrion Lannister]

Btw, Garrett went for it TWICE on 4th down in the Lions' territory.

Unlike me, who wanted Detriot to win, the math is smiling.

Forecast for GB is 9 degree for a high on Saturday and 21 degrees on Sunday.

Does my edit make it correct?

If it does I'm amazed that's the history for Dallas and Green Bay Matchups.

Would MM have gone for it in the same situation as Caldwell?

[yetisnowman]

Yeah, a mistake Sherman made was not going for it on 4th and 1 in the 4th and 26 game.

Man I made the exact same comparison to my dad as we watched both games together. Almost same spot on the field and Sherman did that same pussy try to draw them off sides/delay of game/ punt combo.
What also kills me is how coaches rarely seem to factor risk vs reward and clock/yardage in that situation. Let me explain....
There was 8:00 left and u are at midfield. If you fail on 4th down Dallas can't run the clock completely down and beat you with a last second touchdown. Because of the short field and time left there would be a couple minutes left when u get the ball back regardless of whether Dallas ties it or takes the lead. Best case is you convert and keep driving and running the clock probably leading to more points and possibly icing the win. Risk vs reward says u certainly should go for it IMO.

I think Dallas is going to present a real challenge to our defense next week.

That will work both ways.
