***Official NFC Divisional Playoff Packers vs Cowboys (3 Viewers)

[jurb26]

Great game.

GB is going to have their hands full next week.

 

[The General]

Camera to Jerry Jones, please.

Christie, Hold me. -Jerry

 

[twistd]

And then an obvious offensive pass interference on Cobb that doesn't get called. Perhaps the officials should just go ahead and put on Packer jerseys.

You must be a cowboys fan because those are some terrible blinders you have on

Cobb pushed off to get open.

 

[smackdaddies]

Is the AFC game thread open yet?

why? It's not like your ever going to watch a NFL game again

 

[Card Trader]

Dez with a poor showing today. 3 for 38? Oof

 

[MaxThreshold]

I thought Perreira said the rule is he must complete the catch and make a football move. Looked pretty clear to me that he caught the ball and then made a football move stretching the ball towards the goal line.

That's the only case for this being a bad call but i thought it was more of him just stretching while falling forward. He was falling forward there in any circumstance...it wasn't him leaping for the end zone

I don't think him stretching forward was part of the catch. I think the catch was completed and he he was making a football move to the end zone. WAY too close to overturn something like that, particularly on a rule that sucks to begin with. Jerry is gonna be apoplectic.

Even though just about EVERYONE who does this doesn't agree with you one bit. Literally no one looking at the play says that was a catch, by rule.

 

[snogger]

Now the Off season fun begins for the Cowboys as I can't see them being able to keep both Dez and Murray..

 

[Bucky86]

Did the Packers house come down yet?

 

[TDorBust]

Ya Dez have a towel over your head your the most over rated player in the NFL. #FIXEDBYAMORON

Green Bay is done next week.

Dumb challenge

Read the edit chief.

This is some serious LHUCKSian behavior.

You've done a fine job of embarrassing yourself in here today.

today???

He's the gift that keeps on giving

 

[General Tso]

What an effing joke.

NFL does want Dallas to win

I think it's more of the refs just throwing too many flags. We'll probably see a few bad calls against Dallas as well before it's over.

So predictable. Officiating is ruining the NFL.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I hate the cowboys but that was bs.

Meh. This isn't a new or not known rule. If the FJ is watching the WR (instead of marking the spot) he calls it incomplete. This happens dozens of times every Sunday and has for years.

Ill take that as a compliment coming from you. Sorry that im not a blind homer and think it was a great play by Dez.

Happy to have a win but the Packers were aided by a dumb rule

Im not embarrassed at all...despite what a person like you will say here.

tip ball. no such thing after a tipped ball

You sure told him

 

[Hang 10]

Suck it, cowboys.

 

[cjv123]

Horrible rule as interpreted. I saw the Cowboys benefit from the same rule vs the Giants, I believe.

Wasn't a catch. Not even close. Calvin took three steps, rolled over on the ground in the end zone and in the process of getting up, used the football to push off the ground and lost the ball. Calvin's was way more of a catch than that one according to the adapted logic.

right, we just the camera when he's smiling?..weak

Did the Packers house come down yet?

Guess Jerry only donated 4 billion instead of 5 billion to the NFL league office

Oh come on.

I feel bad for Rodgers, he's going to get killed next Sunday.

Let the Cowboy whiner have his moment

 

[MikeApf]

Cowboys fans last week: don't blame the refs. It was only one play. One play doesn't win you the game!

Cowboys fans this week: with that one call we definitely would have won!

And so it goes...

That said: They have been calling that "football move" play all year. I totally hate it. I really, really hate it. But, the call was very consistent with what they've called all year.

 

[The_Man]

Kind of funny they didn't review the final Cobb catch. Looked very close to touching the ground

 

[Cunk]

I don't give a crap who wins this game, but people who think that call was bad are fooling themselves. It's a textbook call by the rules.

If you don't like the rule, fine, but that's the rule at the moment.

I understand where you're coming from but isn't a "football move" subjective?

 

[Deamon]

Is the AFC game thread open yet?

You're never watching a game again, or are you just planning on following along in a thread.

Who are you talking about exactly? Perreira was the only one I heard say anything.

This guy is none to happy today.

because the defender was holding him!

Now THATS how you troll.

That will be fun to watch.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

I hope this stupid rule is all anyone talks about for a week and makes the league take a look at this. It needed to happen in a big situation like this.

 

[cjv123]

I think Seattle is happy that GB wins.

Absolutely they are. Dallas right right over them when they played them.

 

[metoo]

Cowboys fan here. I didn't like the Dez call but we left 10 points on the field in the first half. We deserved what we got.

 

[jon_mx]

I blame Romo for choking again.

I hate the Cowboys, I just hate the Packers more.

 

[monk]

Poetic Justice!!!!!!!

 

[NajehHejan]

if Rodgers can heal up more I like their chances in Seattle

 

[Mario Kart]

On the Dez "catch"... the ball hit the ground.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Once again the NFL reminds me that I have no idea what a catch is any more.

But Dallas so richly deserved a call like that, so it's okay.

You are too stupid to breathe. He could have tackled the Cowboy after a tip.

Ball was tipped anyway.

the difference, I think, is that Calvin wasn't making a football move. Dez, in my opinion, was making a football move by lunging toward the end zone. A football move is what distinguishes that a catch is over.

Nice to see Robbie Cooper get a little bit closer to completing that sleeve though
