@Macca that catch was amazing, but for me the turning point was cook catch and fumble. He does it way too often, even when he was with the Rams. Gave all the momentum to the Buccs and all turnovers were within 25yrds. The saints threw points at them.

The other to a lesser degree was the penalty when they returned the kick from Harris and the loss of Harris for the game, he was great the week before and the saints had all the early momentum.

RG3 being thrown around as a possible back up QB to put pressure on Goff.

Not sure he would, not like he has played for years. Reckon Wolford would offer more pressure.

Is it just me or if you were a Bills player would you not give up the personal foul and smash your helmet straight into Mahomes helmet to see how the head is if he plays?

Apprehensively confident* we'll get over the line Gorg but I'm always aware that in this sport 2 errors can lead to 14 points

That's the beauty of the NFL ... no game is parcelled up until it's done.  Steelers found that out the hard way with their errors against the Browns

So if GB have zero turnovers and Rodgers is at his best we should be good enough to win.  But Tampa could have a day where everything goes right for them on offence ... if that happens they probably win

But for the neutrals the QB match-up is something to look forward to.  40% chance of snow with a crowd of 6500 allowed into Lambeau

 

*Is there such a thing as apprehensively confident?  haha

There is mate, I live there. Dees can be up by 60 and I’m still nervous ?

If Rodgers is kept clean you win easily. If not then it’s tighter. Saints turned it over 4 times, 3 within 20yrds, that’s what killed them.

5/5 on 3rd down in the first qtr. where was this loose coverage and missed tackles last week!

7 from 10 now which is a poor ratio on defence.  Brady should have been intercepted (the corner didn't commit) on that last TD drive before half time after that Rodgers throw was intercepted.  2 errors within minutes

2nd fumble by Jones costly as well.  They have targeted him because of his lack of size ... the ball pops out accordingly.  Points conceded as a consequence. 

Brady knows how to take advantage like no other. 

28 - 17 now but we need to curtail Brady (somehow)

[Macca 17,113]

28 - 23 now but Brady & Tampa will probably get at least 2 chances to score points.  And Rodgers maybe only the 1 time if Tampa eat up the clock

Unless there is an error/turnover from either team that leads to a score

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

I didn’t like the call going for 2, means if they get a FG here you need a TD and 2pt con.

Johnson makes some big catches last few weeks

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

MASSIVE PICK!!!

Brady's receivers have now dropped a few catches ... or through the hands

Agreed ... tactically it was a poor percentage play going for 2

That was Brady at fault I reckon. Bad throw. Or Evans was meant to be further down the field but got held up with the slight grab at the start of the route.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Massive rush!!! Forced the pick! Huge play.

And GB can't make the most of it ... twice

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

4:42, 8 points, should be 7. Over to Mr MVP.

I have faith!

[Macca 17,113]

GB running game not a factor ... we've reverted to kind.  Jones is too small,  gets hit hard,  out of the game.  We needed a running game on the last 2 drives

8 point game now (should be 7)

31-23

So the Packers need a TD & a 2 point conversion just to tie things up.  4:33 left in the game
