I mentioned in the game I thought they were going to review Jefferson’s catch near the end. Just saw this screen shot

Remember, the playoffs everyone starts at 0-0. Anything can happen.

I mean this playoff bracket is so deep. Quite literally any of the 7 teams can win games. It's crazy

Any mention of the AFC just makes me laugh.

I still think if I had to put money on any one team, it would be Buffalo and Detroit.

[go pak go]

So if Washington wins tonight and next week we will be the 7 seed.

Left a lot on the field. Minny is good. Lots of film to work on corrections. Guys are going to know what they have to do to win. Beat downs are bad if you don't keep fighting they kept fighting. They got a wake up call. See how it shakes out next week between Lions and Vikes.

Wish we had taken the shot for the on-side kick. If you get it (slim chance,) great, if you don't you still have to get a 3 and out with your 3 TOs anyway.

Crush the bares. Put Jaire on the field in the playoffs whether he can walk or not. Won't have any expectations from the media, just play loose and with nothing to lose. Make your run and leave it all on the field.

Jaire HAS to play next week. Putting him in after 10 snaps in 3 months worries me a lot.

We go to Philly for Wild Card round just like 2010

Sounds like the refs got the illegal formation on Wicks call wrong as well.

Kraft clearly signaled he was off the ball and Wicks correctly lined up on the ball. The Packers threw a screen to Wilson to convert on 2nd and 8 and the refs called it back it to make 2nd and 13. We ended up punting on that drive.

Yeah, welcome to the world of bad calls and non-calls by the Refs.

Yeah when they showed the replay on that one I had no idea what the refs were talking about. It was definitely lined up correctly.

The refs don't see everything, and see things that aren't there.

Not down field. Your source is an idiot.

It's a cut block, been legal since the inception of the NFL.

[MY_TAKE]

The Packers are capable of playing with anybody. To do so, though, it requires them to play competent, disciplined football.

No silly alignment penalties that stall drives. No dropped passes that kill drives. No missing on downfield throws to open receivers that are juuuust off. No blown coverages that make for easy TDs and 1st downs.

They’ve shown they’re capable of playing at that level but, for whatever reason, they haven’t done it consistently against the top competition this year and those teams make them pay.

Call it tightness, choking, immaturity…whatever. They just haven’t and it’s frustrating to watch.

I believe this Packers team is capable of beating the best teams, bar none. They simply need to play to the level they’re capable while eliminating the dumb stuff. Plain and simple.

If @Scott4Pack or anyone else want to reframe this as some kind of petty “better than/not as good” argument, have at it. I won’t waste my time with inane arguments.

I feel like in order for the Packers to beat the best teams in the league they have to play an almost perfect game. That's hard to do.

I know my take on the WR's is probably not a popular one but I have been talking about this for awhile. For all the good things Reed and Wicks do, they drop the ball more than just about every other WR in the NFL. That Jaden Reed drop wasn't that difficult for a NFL WR. Make a clutch play for gods sake. Meanwhile the opposition is making fricken sweet grabs all over the field. WTF!!! The WR group desperately needs Watson healthy to compete with the best teams. The Justin Jefferson affect for the Vikings is huge. He commands so much attention guys are walking wide open into the endzone. Green bay is really good. Upgrade the WR position to become great. There is my rant. Can Jordy or Greg Jennings still suit up?

I see, so, it's okay to take a person's legs out at the LOS but not downfield. What is the limit on being downfield? 5 yards? 10?

Correct, been that way since the inception of the league. Sorry you got your ass kicked on being wrong.

[Acrobat]

Whoops, 76, not 56.

Not kicking my ass. It's something I didn't know. Just one of the stupid things the NFL allows on one part of the field but not the other. Never mind that a player was injured on the play. As long as the NFL says it's legal.

Well, that photo may not be exactly above. The fact that we can't see the ball tells me the photo was taken from a spot a little behind the Vikings line. A shot down the LOS would be better.

[Pckfn23]

It isn't an offsides on Cooper, that is for sure!

[Pckfn23]

Tell me you made this game happen without telling me you made this game happen:
