At this point right now no QB is playing better with what they have than Jordon Love 

[layzie 34,326]

I remember a Wildcard game in the 2002 season between the Niners and Giants at the old Candlestick. 14-38 down at half time and rallied back to win. 

Strange things can happen in playoffs, just sayin.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Big stop to hold them to 3. 
Time usage is as important as anything for GB now, the more they can chew the loser desperate Cowboys have to become.

You just never know in this sport but Dallas might have needed a TD on that drive

Green Bay needs to eat up the clock so lets see how the short passes and running game goes.  Can't have a 3 and out

*Gorg beat me to it

GB players keep running out of bounds. Go down. Keep the clock running.

[Macca 17,113]

Jones has been fantastic

[layzie 34,326]

Aaron Jones has turned that slit into a gash.

[layzie 34,326]

After all that Dallas miss the extra point. Nothing going right

Oh I don’t know, seems alright to me

[Macca 17,113]

That's a costly PI penalty on that 2 point play.  Could have been a 2 score game

Dallas are quite capable so GB need to eat up the clock and hopefully score

Been saying for years McCarthy is an overrated coach. Good during the reg season and avg during play offs. Looks like another year where his team is good enough to win a SB and come play offs can’t get it done.

[Macca 17,113]

I hate going early on a win. Ultimate mozz

In the 2021 GF declaring the win only came when we got 8 goals in front.  Might have been another Fritsch goal that sealed the deal

Jones has had a game to remember, in a big match situation, his best ever

He should pay with his job for this debacle.

He was brought in to stiffen team resolve and have a genuine go at winning the SB. They are as far away as ever. Very brittle mentality. When the chips are down the cowboys have all the fortitude of a lemon meringue. Powder puffs.

He just might. It’s one to ing to lose a play off, this is next level.

 

Feel for you mate.

At half time in that game I still thought thr Cats were a show. We missed some opportunities in the first half and went in 5 goals up. A quick goal to start the 2nd half and the Cats would have been within 4 and we'd have had a game. Fortunately we started the half with a Benny Brown dagger.

The worst is when you get ribbed for these views by fellow laid back too cool for school MFC fans. "Relax bro we're 4 goals up" 

It's my belief that everyone has their own in-built understanding of when a game is over and everyone else is wrong.

8 of 11 here have tipped the Rams but that doesn't mean much

The tipping curse has continued into the post-season!

My dad is renowned for seeing who 'the tipsters' in the newspaper have tipped as research when doing his weekly footy tips. I still don't know why.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

That surprises me. I mean lions have been good all year.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised nor would I defend him if it happened. 3 x 12 win seasons in a row and they have bottled it every time.

I've never seen anything expansive or innovative about McCarthy's playbook and its my opinion that he succeeds when he has really strong coordinators. He's a facilitator coach and not a lot more. I wouldn't mind seeing Dan Quinn get another shot

The Rams are one of the most dangerous wildcard teams on the NFC side for mine. Their form on the last 5 weeks is close to best in NFL. 

Really physical and if you just happen to catch them on a day when Stafford, Kupp, Nucua and Higbee look like they're playing flag football then good fricken luck!

[BDA 23,015]

some consolation scores to give some respectability to the scoreline but make no mistake that was a trouncing. embarrassing stuff. just pathetic.

[layzie 34,326]

Belichick to Dallas? Possible or stupid?

Personally I can't see Bill going anywhere where he can't be GM or at least have a big say in drafting. Jog on.

[BDA 23,015]

Excellent game from Love (albeit without too much pressure from the cowboys D). Looks like Packers have found a real talent to replace Rodgers @Macca. Reckon you guys are closer to an SB than Dallas.

I can't get my head around Dak and Lamb having that moment on the sideline about not being on the same page. All year the chemistry has been electric between those two, maybe the best QB-WR connection in the league? Yet all of a sudden they lose it in the most important game? Deeper questions need to be asked there and you have to start with the coach.
