GB/Atlanta total has to be 60.

[KVB]

What's the play in the late game?

I took Kansas City -2.5.

Don't love it, but Andy Reids numbers after a bye week are impressive. I think because it gives him more time to eat.

NFC championship will be the last game in the history of the Georgia Dome. Wow

falcons can choke in grandiose style

Why play prevent on that final play and give Rodgers all that time to throw? Makes no sense? They were getting lots of pressure on him but you give him 15 seconds to find a receiver is this dumb or is it just me?

But this made me laugh.

Cowboys had to play GB and the refs and still almost pulled it out. Gotta give them props

[packerd_00]

Right on Packers,damn proud of you guys.

What's with the field goal kickers kicking and making 50 + yard field goals like extra points..

Greenbay advances.. Cowboys too young will learn from this.. Next year different story... Hope the Cowboys get something for ROMO..

[packerd_00]

I cant wait to hear the excuses why GB won this.

[QuantumLeap]

Unreal how that ball came back in.

Clearly the global elitists had some kind of magnetic force working the goalposts.

Gyroscopes.

I cant wait to hear the excuses why GB won this.

Late in the game, with Dallas trailing by three, Dak Prescott hit Jason Witten for an 11-yard gain to set up first-and-10 at the Green Bay 40 with 49 seconds left and the Cowboys holding one timeout. They had enough time and downs to do what they wanted. But when Prescott took the first-down snap, he spiked the ball to stop the clock. The ripple effect was subtle but undeniable.

You kill the clock when there’s no other option. You don’t kill the clock when you have plenty of time to run plays and downs are your most precious commodity. Yet the Cowboys — down three and in field-goal range — wasted one of their three offensive downs because they didn’t want to take a few more seconds to call a play. They killed a clock that wasn’t close to killing them. It had a multi-pronged effect:

1. Dallas would only have two plays to make a first down because, barring a sack, it would have to attempt the game-tying field goal on fourth down. When you have first down why do you intentionally make it second?

2. The spike cut down the chances of an Ezekiel Elliott run on the next two plays. A handoff to Zeke should have been called on first down, and if his 5.7-yards per carry were any indication that could have put Dallas in a position to run any number of plays on second or third. Instead, Elliott didn’t get the ball again and Dallas had to kick. Elliott getting only 22 carries against a Packers defense unable to stop him was practically criminal. If he’d had 30, that defense might have collapsed unto itself. Instead, the Cowboys passed eight more times than they ran, a situation brought on by the deficit but exacerbated by a lack of guts and imagination. Prescott was great, Dez Bryant played one of his best games, and the Packers corners couldn’t hang. But Zeke was the force behind all of it. Once the ball was taken out of his hands, Green Bay’s defense stiffened.

3. And then there was the ultimately crippling effect. When a team’s down in a game it’s easy to say it should do this or that with the clock. Don’t score too early! Let some time run off! (Don’t spike it!) But that’s hindsight stuff. In the moment, you have to worry about getting your points. Since the Cowboys’ worry was in stopping the clock with 49 seconds left, when the second- and third-down plays both stopped the clock there was still 35 seconds left after Dan Bailey kicked his game-tying field goal.

Those precious seconds would prove fatal, leading to another offseason in Big D of wondering where it all went wrong.

Agreed. When they spiked the ball I said to myself, I'll take it. Giving up a down at that stage was a critical error.

[lakerboy]

Exactly piler. Elliot never read allowed took become a factor because the cowboys tomato head coach thought he was going to be a hero passing on the packers shit secondary.

Next week Matt Ryan will show the cowboys how it's done.

Helmet to helmet hit against Beasley not called

BS PI call that got GB in FG position when it should've been a holding penalty at worst, if it were even legit. This BS call negated an INT by Dallas.

Witten tackled in end zone with no call. Would have given Dallas 1st and goal at the one. They ended up settling for a FG instead.

BS personal foul on Butler for leaving the huddle and then not participating in the play? He never entered the huddle lol. He ran to the middle of the field and then ran off. Happens all the time in the NFL and I've NEVER seen a penalty called. This BS call killed a 3 and out that the Dallas D had caused and GB ended up scoring a TD off it.

Holding not called once on the GB O-Line all game, even though there were several obvious holds throughout the game.

There are other examples too

[seaborneq]

Letting someone complete a 36 yard pass on 3rd and 25 is the MOST killing thing the Cowboys did all day. Can't be trusted.

That was as bad a defensive play call as the offensive play call earlier where Dak threw the INT on 2nd and 2.

How many holding calls did the cowboy defense get away with? How many times was Adams' jersey pulled off his shoulder pads without a call? It went both ways. The difference in the game was the Packers shit defense got more stops than the Cowboys shit defense.

[Auto Donk]

UNDER BOOB ALWAYS A WINNER....

just waking up and without even knowing the final yet (passed clean the f out at 31-28), but seeing a bunch of betpoints in my acct, I know the qb who'd never be interested in the babe above, b/c he loves ballz on his chin, must have won......

only a fool would've bet the cowboys

[astrodomer]

If coaches would think about situations before they get in them, they would win more games, take the last play before GB kicked the FG, 12 seconds left, they are on the 30 something yd line... if you dont complete a pass downfield, whatever you do on the next play.... it doesnt matter unless its a TD because time runs out.....smart thing to do there is to hold the recievers within 5yds..... you get a 5 yd penalty against you, but time runs down and they only have one more play...... no chance at a FG now.....you stop them next play it goes into overtime, it may look strange but it would have sent you into overtime and not gave Rodgers a chance to work his magic.

I forgot the phantom hands to the face call on Claiborne when the Boys D had forced a 4th down and punt. Phantom call gave GB a 1st down and they went on to score a TD on that drive.

[daneblazer]

Packers get calls. Especially on 3rd down. It's the way it's been since the Favre era. Deal with it, just the way it is

[vinndy]

I feel like it was a good game that was definitely made great by some bad calls. Sounds weird saying it like that but the refs definitely influence the game(s).

Geez you had a lot on your mind as far as this game,I think if anything the GB backend let the Packers down,so much soft coverage in the last quarter,it was driving me up the wall.

Regarding Witten,youd think at his age,hed learn abit about that sort of stuff,but hey it helped GB im cool with it.

Your a homer or you bet on the Cowboys,which is it.

I'm a big time Cowboys homer. Not gonna lie. That doesn't change the fact that the Cowboys had some horrible calls go against them that gave GB points or took points away from them. GB had some bad calls/no calls against them as well, but not that directly impacted the end result like the ones against the Cowboys did.

The Boys did make some mistakes that stopped them from overcoming the bad calls, so I'm not putting the loss squarely on the refs shoulders. The stupid play call on 2nd and 2 that ended up as an interception comes to mind.

Settle down skip. How do you know that the defensive holding calls the Cowboys got away with didn't impact the game. Packers had to punt instead of first down. Seems like it impacted the game.
