2016/2017 NFL thread: The Final Countdown

[Slushy]

That was a fight to finish! Congrats, Packs.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I am 3 for 3 this weekend. But that was special. My bro is a Packers fan. He is very happy at the moment.

 

[CELTICPRED]

My ****ing heart. The Packers never should have been in that position, that's on Rodgers' interception in the 3rd quarter. He could have put them up by 3 possessions with just a field goal there, but he threw it to Davante on his inside shoulder who ALSO quit on that route because he saw the safety coming over. Davante for all his guts is known to quit on routes.

As a packers fan this exorcised some demons for me. Especially 90s packer fan me. But wow do I feel for Jason Witten.

If Green Bay advances and ends up winning the Super Bowl (I'm not sure how this secondary stands up to Atlanta's offense or Tom Brady, mind you, but if they do...) that catch by Cook will go down in NFL history along side the Catch, emmaculate reception and Plaxico Burress's Super Bowl game winner.

My brother is a Cowboys fan. I better give him a call and see how he's doing.

 

[Matt]

Someone forgot Rodgers is the GOAT.

Never doubt Rodgers, I suppose. The man is unreal.

Didn't you pick the Seahawks?

Yeah, it's all on that interception, but that kind of thing is bound to happen when you spend over 5 seconds waiting to throw long passes... On the other hand, this victory is all on Rodgers too. The first half, the 3 TD came after that play where Rodgers forced the too many players on field penalty. After that penalty, the defense of the Cowboys was a mess and the Packers took advantage of that. And the 4th down pass that made possible the FG attempt was pure magic.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

He basically just pulled off another Hail Mary. He threw that ball 40 yards like it was nothing.

Seriously?

 

[TheCommissioner]

AARon gonna go home, get some Munn loaf tonight

 

[CELTICPRED]

Seriously?

Which part?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Which part?

Blaming Rodgers, at all. I don't even think you were in FG range at that point. Also blame whoever was calling though really crappy running plays in the 4th.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Tony Romo would have won that game.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

So apparently Romo wants a trade to the Broncos, but they don't want him.

 

[Immortalfire]

Tony Romo would have won that game.

Clearly.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Do they really don't want him, or do they not want to trade for him?

 

[CELTICPRED]

Oh that's Mike McCarthy's MO, everyone knows what's coming in the 4th with a lead trying to burn clock. His screen call was a surprise. The fans know what's coming with those 3 plays.

Believe me, I'm the first one to ******e Rodgers any chance I get, but that was a poor throw on a risky decision. Davante had a lead, and he threw it to the inside shoulder, yes, he had some pressure, but normally Aaron would throw it outside, then he got after Davante for not fighting for the ball and quitting on the route.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Clearly.

Tomorrow is going to be so much fun.

But that is literally one pass. The reason why the game was close was because the defense was really bad. Blaming Rodgers at all is just bizarre. He made crazy throws all day.

 

[Themanofbat]

Good game.
Glad the Cowboys lost.

Blaming him is a bit too harsh, but he had a chance to get it to a 3 possession game, and made an uncharacteristic mistake. I love my Aaron, but I was really not looking forward into going into Rodgers' defense mode tomorrow and tonight in case they lost.

Well he, Cook and Crosby made sure you didn't have to do that. t:

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Do they really don't want him, or do they not want to trade for him?

I've heard both. That they're not interested and other people are saying they don't want to trade. I'm sure Romo wants to go to a contender. If the Broncos don't want him, that really limits his choices of good teams. Heard maybe the Texans or Bills. Anybody else is still at the bottom of the pile.
