The Official Pack-Queens GameDay Thread

[Rutnstrut]

I don't blame the referees. It's the POS off season rules committee tampering with the game way, way too much. The refs are then put in a no-win situation trying to figure out what is "roughing."

As are the fans as they get a washed down version of pure garbage.

At least someone else on here gets it.

[gbgary]

the officials had a very rough game. the non pi call followed by a bogus one, the bogus holding on graham's td, clay's call. geesh.

[Rutnstrut]

I was praising the GB defense, man, didn’t realize Cousins threw for over 400.

Diggs and Theilen had over 200 yards receiving alone. That is not indicative of a defense that played even close to good.

[yetisnowman]

I am not maintaining he wasn't good. He was. Forget the weird end and missed FGs and calls, he has a 300 yard game.

But the Packers sloughed off coverage at the end to encourage short throws and bleed clock. That gave him an easier path to 400.

Sloughed off at the end? Of regulation or overtime? Vikings had timeouts and plenty of time so how were we trying to bleed clock exactly, preventing them scoring was the number one objective. Cousins had his way with the defense. Period. We still got robbed though.

that's what happens when you play soft and give a big cushion.

[esoxx]

Yeah, lots of chances to win, but the mathews call was pure bullshit. I mean, if that is really a foul, there will be 0 sacks in the NFL for the rest of the year. Crosby making the 1st FG and missing the 2nd was just bad luck/timing. Maybe some good will come of this and the NFL will clarify the new rule so the refs get some help.

I think you're almost going to have to go to replay on some sacks (and we all want more replay right? GAG). I think the ref that threw the flag thought Clay drove him based on the angle he had looking at it. But clearly he was trying to cushion blow with other hand in ground. Clearly no intent there to drive QB in to ground and you can't decide a game with a call like that. You just can't.

NFL wants to over regulate? Then let's go ahead and really do it. Every QB sack is an automatic review before next snap can occur.

Whee!!!!

We have no idea who it will be. Someone has to be willing to step into Thunderdome and risk it against MasterBlaster.

Damn, I have a flawless argument in favor of the annihilation of “Redskins” waiting to be posted.

They were playing a lot of off coverage in the 4th. I doubt they do the same against the Vikes again because Thielen and Rudolph and Cousins were too adept at running and completing 7 yard outs on the backside.

I think it started on the Vikings drive, before the INT, when the lead was 5.

Again, I am not saying they didn't earn it, but the Packers changed the coverage.

[KYPack]

So do I get to start the game day thread next week? technically, the packers didn’t lose.

Hell NO

Listened to the game driving home from MN. Got to watch the 2nd quarter ina bar having lunch.

Hard to beat a good team like the Vikings when you have to beat the refs also.

Although it's also easier when the opponent kicker misses three FGs in a tie game....

Well... the last 2 should not have even been taken if the refs don’t fuck up. And the first one if he made it makes it a 5 point win instead of 8 points.

Only takes one to win.

Not sure if this guy survives on the roster next week.

[QBME]

Hell NO

Seconded.

Seriously, what are the odds he's there by the bye week?

Zimmer specifically mentioned the Packers and Crosby when Walsh messed up, but when his struggles continued the next year, he was gone.
