You have to be the most impartial, biased, closed minded poster on the entire board.  In multiple threads.  I think you'd rather lose a limb than be wrong.

Shanahan isn't throwing the ball.  Just wait till MATT RYAN beats you next week and you curl up in a ball and start yelling that it had nothing to do with Ryan :P

The offense could beat GB but Ryan will just be the same average cog in that offense he's been all year.

Gotta agree with this

i am enjoying the dialouge here, but want to throw a quick idea in, don't count those Hail Mary's by Rodgers as superb plays. I think more of that goes on the WRs and their ability to sneak in those little pushes, all Rodgers does is throw it up

granted half of the QBs in the league probably can't throw a pass like that for 40-50 yards)

Actually, they had an article in the GB paper on Friday or Saturday talking about why the Hail Mary plays have worked so well.  The receivers explained that part of it is the arc Rodgers puts on the ball, because it minimizes the chance that a DB can tip or randomly block the ball.  It just drops almost straight down out of the sky.

If Jared Cook had Whitten's hands he would be something.  That said, clutch catch on that final catch and great footwork.

Very few could make that final throw, rolling to their left.

Dallas may have pulled off that rare feat of moving from one good Q.B. to another, potentially even a great one.  Impressive game for a rookie regardless of G.B. playing lots of guys from their practice squad at the beginning of the season.  He did well.

I'm hoping Perry gets the cast off, Burnett is ready, Rollins is back, Tretter is available, and that Adams ankle does not have any damage as sometimes those things are worse than thought after the adrenaline wears off and swelling sets in..  Hoping Bulaga is fine and that Jordy can contribute.

I apologize to the world for the few the insufferable fans of the Packers, most are not that way, but it is difficult to know that when the insufferable are so prolific.

As for those condemning McCarthy's calls, when great individual defensive effort splits the line and defenders get into the backfield unabated, that is not a bad call, it's a bad play by a player.  I note his halftime adjustments lead to a T.D. drive out of the gate. 

Dallas seems well positioned for several years, though things sometimes change quickly with injuries and suspensions.  Packer fans know what it is to lose players to injury one was counting on for years of production.  Still, as of today, disappointment of the moment aside, Cowboy fans seem to have every reason to see a bright future.

Per usual, DW puts it as eloquently as anyone. One of these day's I'll have a business trip out your way and we'll have a beer or 6

 
I don't care about either team, but that was a classic. 

Throughout the season, I thought that Elliott masked Dak's average ability. But I was wrong. He stepped up and proved himself worthy of the moment. So did Dez. 

And for all the mockery that kickers endure, both stepped up and made long kicks under pressure. Not easy kicks at all, and Bailey had to make his or the team loses (a Crosby miss would have simply continued a tie game). You'd hate to see a team lose a game like that on a missed kick, and both did their part. 

I don't know if Rodgers is MVP this year (I don't care much for awards, so whatever), but he has a quality that very, very few have: He makes the players around him better. Significantly better. He puts them in position to make a great play, and they somehow step up and play beyond themselves. Even some of the very best don't have that ability. 

The right team won. I think Green Bay was a little better tonight. Could have gone either way, but if you're scoring it on points like a fight, I think you give the Packers a split decision. And that's kind of how they won it.

P.S. I think Atlanta torches them. This game took a lot out of them. Emotionally I think they're spent.

The announcers said it was a good call and my guess is most Packer fans would agree. Gunter ran through Dez. It was clearly PI.

As clearly as when Davante Adams had his jersey pulled over his shoulder pad.  

Either way, I thought the refs missed some key calls early that stopped Green Bay from getting that 4th TD.  Packers fought through some adversity.  What won this game was game script.  The Packers getting out to the huge lead is what allowed them to somewhat neutralize Zeke.  The Cowboys simply found themselves in situaions where they couldn't run as much as they'd have liked.  Then the Packers getting the ball back and the miracle play to Cook with only :03 left.  If the Cowboys had even 20 seconds there, they probably come roaring right back to tie.  The Packers defense was totally gassed.  

However this is why I felt the coverage of the game was so one sided.  All they talked about all week was three thing.  Dallas offensive line (Packers' line is playing just as effectively but gets no hype).  Dak (who is good but not on the level of Rodgers, Brady, or Ryan), and Zeke (who is second only to Bell IMO).  You didn't hear much about the elephant in the room and that's the delta between Rodgers and every other QB in the NFL.  I said it before the game, he's putting on a master class right now.  I've never seen anyone do what he's doing.

To be fair I don't think I ever said they were gonna win it but I liked their chances. My boy Dak went toe-to-toe with A-A-Ron Rod-Gers and almost pulled it off.

Dak played great.  No doubt.  But then again, the Packers defensive corners are abysmal.  I'm surprised they didn't attack Randall more.  I would have.  He's money in the back to throw against.  

 
Are you kidding me? A Packer fan complaining that the announcers don't talk enough about Aaron Rodgers? Now I've heard it all.

I know only the losers talk about the officiating.  This game was called wildly uneven in the first half.  The unsportsmanlike call and Witten getting mugged on the goal line. There were no "make up" calls in the game. For a game that came down to the final play, it shouldn't have. The ref's called a terrible game.  Let's give Vegas a team. ..... it's not a conspiracy, it's the state of the league.

You should have stopped there.

 
Dallas has a bright future, but they need to address that defense. They don't have a single defensive player you have to game plan or account for.

 
There were definitely missed calls on both sides as there are in EVERY NFL game. There has never been a "perfectly" officiated game and there never will be. I totally agreed at the time and still do that was a PI on Gunter. But no question on two seperate occasions Davante was held clearly and neither was called and it cost us drives. I am obviously very glad we won, but now I have ulcers! That was as exciting a game as possible, obviously more so for packer fans as we won the game and honestly feel bad for the good Cowboy fans and posters because that is a crappy loss to suffer. But you know your future is bright with that o-line, RB and QB you guys seem like your going to have some great years ahead.

I cant see a QB playing as well as Rodgers being apart of getting "torched".  Yes, the GB D looked awful in just about every way but when you have a QB who can match anybody on the other side of the ball it adds a different type of pressure to the opposing offense

Dak played well but it has to be taken into context.  The GB D is suffering bad and it seemed like every WR, even multiple ones on some replays were all wide open.  Im interested to see how he performs next season.

 You simply can't wrap your head around the thought that Dak is a good QB. 

Take off the Eagles glasses.

If this were the regular season I'd agree with you, but playoffs is a completely different animal. Teams coming off emotional wins like this typically have a let down during the regular season, but I think the opposite is true for the playoffs. I'd rather have tough games like this in the playoffs where teams have to dig deep than be in Atlanta/NE's shoes where they were in a different league than their opponents. 

I am not saying GB is going to win next week, but to say that Atlanta "torches" them is a bit absurd. 
Since December 1, Green Bay is averaging roughly 32.5 points per game. They haven't scored below 30 since December 4th. No evidence out there would preclude that a team with a worse defense than GB is going to "torch them."

I do think Atlanta is likely to win that game, but I think it will be another 30-something to 30-something type score. Atlanta's offense is just as on fire as Green Bay's. In a game like that I'll take the better QB so I will place my bets on Green Bay, but I do think it's Atlanta's game to lose. 

 
What a great game to watch. Both Dak & Rodgers played great, but Rodgers made an unbelievable throw and Cook made a great catch. Tough way to lose for the Cowboys and their fans, but like some have said, their future looks bright.

I was on the Dak hate train before this game. I looked at him as riding Elliot's coat tails. I actually think it is somewhat the opposite. I have much respect for Dak. I don't know how anyone can look at that game and say Dak is not a good QB... what else does he need to prove, as a rookie especially!? Anyone who can't give Dak respect are either NFC East rival fans, or fans who are butt hurt and bitter over the Cowboys "dynasty" from the 90s and can't stand the idea of the Cowboys having the makings of a dynasty now.

Good points.  It does add a different type of pressure when you know your D can't hold anyone.  Both Quarterbacks will have that pressure this weekend.  Rodgers has had it for 2 straight months.
