Both teams were tripping over chances. Both teams made big plays. It was a pretty even game, really. That was a game-changing flag, and not one of those where you watch it five times in slow motion and determine it was wrong. Watching it live I couldn't believe my eyes--that ball wasn't even remotely catchable.While it was a questionable call...there have been far worse...and the game was not necessarily "decided" on that call.How about the 6 fumbles and 2 INTs?
If they just played a normal 2-minute offense instead of hoping to kick a 50 yard field goal then I think it would have been a different outcome. The 12 guys in the huddle is inexcusable, too.
You think he got plowed over? He knew he couldn't catch it and hurled himself backwards.Was it really?In the nFL does it matter if it was a catchable ball? Seriously, you can't just plow a guy over while the ball is in the air. I've seen plenty of PI calls even when the ball was thrown to someone else.
Seems like you have quite a few fans of other teams doing the same thing.
BTW...Im cheering for the Vikings being done...as I did when they blew it against Atlanta. Why? Because Im a Packer fan and don't like the Vikings.And I love that Vikings fans are whining about this...when they were doing the exact same thing 2 years ago...
Exactly. Pack fans wish he was still playing for them. Instead they get bounced in the first round of the playoffs if they even make it.
Absolutely zero argument w/ this. Favre was incredible this season, but that doesn't make him less of a drama queen and made a lot of his fans (myself included) kinda detest the guy.
The entire officiating crew should be fired tonight. I'm kind of glad to see the Saints make the Super Bowl, but I would have preferred to see them win it rather than have it handed to them by bad officiating. Such a great, close game should be decided by the play on the field.
Textbook example of drawing a charging call.You think he got plowed over? He knew he couldn't catch it and hurled himself backwards.Was it really?In the nFL does it matter if it was a catchable ball?

If he had stayed with the Jets I'd be rooting for him. He went to Minn for one thing, to stick it to the Packersm thus sticking to the Packer fans.Go home Brent.
I disagree...many Pack fans...this one included is happy with Aaron Rodgers.I do wish he would have played for the Packers from about 2002-2006 like he did for the Vikings this year.Exactly. Pack fans wish he was still playing for them. Instead they get bounced in the first round of the playoffs if they even make it.
That was the killer. And it came right after a timeout! How can a team make that mistake?If they just played a normal 2-minute offense instead of hoping to kick a 50 yard field goal then I think it would have been a different outcome. The 12 guys in the huddle is inexcusable, too.
Afraid not. I would love to be able to play one more meaningful game and I never played above high school. Some people can walk away before a significant decline, Robert Smith and Barry Sanders come to mind. Brett Favre can't seem to live without football. If you want to hate him for it and the success he's had then so be it. Again, if you think Tavaris Jackson takes this team to the NFC Championship game then say so. If not, then how can you criticize him playing?You really don't get it? Seriously?I still don't get it. He's one of those guys who they are gonna have to tear the jersey off his back at the end. He's tried to walk away and can't give it up. The guy loves competition and gives it his all. At 40 years old with his accomplishments he has nothing to prove. If I were blessed enough to have the ability to play at a professional level I'd likely feel the same way and want to play as long as someone would have me.Actually, it has absolutely NOTHING to do w/ hating a winner. I actually was a big Favre fan prior to his drama queen status after 5,897 retirements and playing it up thru the media. THAT is why I lost respect for him.
You know, I think a lot of people are making a lot of assumptions here. The Bills were tied with the Colts even before Indy pulled their starters. So really, Buffalo had a legit shot at derailing the 16-0 season anyway.
There will be lots of super bowl spotlight stealing, as always. So it goes.GB Tom Benson. Sounds like he's right out of The Waterboy. Geaux Saints. You suck by ignoring the music of your city though.HA HA BRETT! Hope you have a good retirement/unretirement offseason.
Good point. It must feel good to have the Packers still playing while Brett is going home. Oh wait....
MBIWHAMGBO.
Champagne room?
Please keep crying about your lost parlay.
1) I do not hate Favre for his success.2) There is zero doubt that he had possibly his greatest season of his career this year and was incredible.3) The way he has handled himself and his situation the last handful of years is what I, and many others, detest, and he feels he's bigger and more important than any team. THAT is what I have a problem with. How do you not understand this?Afraid not. I would love to be able to play one more meaningful game and I never played above high school.

No. We have our QB of the future. Now if we didn't have Rodgers, then it's a different story. Still, you don't go to your arch rival....Exactly. Pack fans wish he was still playing for them. Instead they get bounced in the first round of the playoffs if they even make it.
I woulda done that for 2 grand
I have an argument with it.They lost Birk...and little else.They had an easier schedule than in 2008. Added Harvin...Rice healthy all year.And they went 10-6 last year.Im not saying they get to this point or do all they did this year...but I won't say 8-8.Doing so...IMO...totally takes away from the amount of talent on that team.
I wouldn't be rooting for him but I definitely wouldn't be rooting with everything I had against him. I'd probably be fairly indifferent. Obviously, I can't stand the Pack, but even I was disgusted with this entire revenge fiasco. BYE BYE BITTER BRETT.
You do not say F to me.
If you have to wait 20 weeks to be right about something, you were wrong.

It happens.
Because of the NFCCG?
@ Favre/Sears commercial just now.
That's odd, futures and parlays are usually smart bets.
Some just don't.1) I do not hate Favre for his success.2) There is zero doubt that he had possibly his greatest season of his career this year and was incredible.3) The way he has handled himself and his situation the last handful of years is what I, and many others, detest, and he feels he's bigger and more important than any team.

Good thing you hedged/not hedged/hedged
I understand this. But yet the Vikings signed him so obviously they felt differently. I'd say the evidence is he made their team better, which is what his job was.1) I do not have Favre for his success.2) There is zero doubt that he had possibly his greatest season of his career this year and was incredible.Afraid not.

last I checked the Packers and Vikings are both done playing.Good point. It must feel good to have the Packers still playing while Brett is going home. Oh wait....
