Divisional Round Playoff Chatter | Cowboys vs Packers | 1/11/2015

[Foobio]

He does not look like he wants to be out there anymore.

Can someone tell me the reason behind the Papa Johns commercials along with Joe Montana? Why does a person want to look like a mental retard for 100's of thousands of dollars when they already have millions?

Can someone explain that algebra?

Thanks in advance.

Peace.

I hope Seattle absolutely buries GB. At least I can rub my Packer fan relatives' face in the fact that we waxed them at home. Ugh. I can't remember the last time a playoff game left such a bitter taste in my mouth that no amount of beer can rinse away.

All right, that's it. It's over and done with, there's no sense in crying over spilled milk. Yeah, as things progressed I thought this could be our "lightning in a bottle" season but it didn't work out that way. Put it behind us and look ahead, that's all we can do.

I do know that being a Cowboys fan in recent years has exposed me as something of a masochist. Year in, year out, I hang in there hoping for the best regardless of how many times I take a knee to the nuts. Ah well.

Wait 'til next year.

ODB makes that catch.

:outtahere

 

[Thorn]

I wonder if Peyton might retire. He has a lot going for him after football. Is another season worth the risk?

I don't think it makes any sense to come back. It's not as if he had one bad game after another amazing season. He struggled the whole second half. I also think that Archie will encourage him to walk away, just a hunch.

 

[Deuce]

He hasnt done that for several weeks. He only did that to protect his injured back.

He's done it all year, even in the first games when he was supposedly healthy.

At least today wasn't the NFCC

On the way to a SB vs a team you know you can beat 9/10

Geez.

The more you see that Dez catch the more ridiculous it gets that they overturned it.

 

[data]

"common to the game" is now a part of the NFL lexicon.

 

[Deuce]

Not really a fan of Cook, but I tend to say that about almost every QB. So

I've noticed that.

Especially when you hear Blandino's explanation for why Joshua Cribbs was down by contact instead of being a muffed fumble.

You have to watch the play, but Cribbs fields the punt for a split second before being hit to the ground. Yes, his knee hits the ground before the ball comes out, but how does Cribbs establish possession in a split second and without a football move common to the game

The key is what you would've ruled if this were a pass to a WR. If this were a pass, it would've been ruled incomplete, so it should've been ruled a muffed punt fumble.

If you rule that Cribbs the punt returner, not a WR catching a pass, did have possession, then you're essentially saying that there are different definitions of what constitutes possession for different plays/positions.

I'm talking about the catch, I do belive they would have beaten Cincy.

Gotcha. No harm, no foul.

I thought Luck would get his come upence today but the opposite happened. Just goes to show you.

what gave reason to think that?

 

[p1_]

Cripes if you look at the Calvin Johnson TD it's even worse. What a shit rule. or at least the horrible refs interpreting it.

again, clearly a catch.

They're leaving too much open to interpretation. That's the bottom line.

It should be as it was...simple. Two touches. one knee, foot, hand, or a combination thereof.

 

[p1_]

Great.

We are going to relive this stupid fucking bullshit call the rest of the offseason.

My God.

What a nightmare.

whoulda thought this would be the defining play, a blown call that would mean the game?

That was complete BS as well. Even more so than the Dez play.

Are you disappointed with the OL play in these two playoff games?

I could be wrong, but I was expecting more.

Yeah, I thought they got way overhyped. They are good, but the praise was overboard. Again, we sorely missed Free.
