NFL GDT: 2021 NFC Championship Game: (1) Green Bay Packers vs (5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date
There are a handful of game changing plays in a game.
GB settling for a FG when they had first and goal in Q2.
GB giving up a TD from their own 39 with 8 seconds on the clock at the snap. That is Jets/raiders level of D in an NFCC game.
TB throwing a pick in FG range could have iced the game earlier.
GB on their final series. Rodgers could have run to make it a 4th and 2/3 to go for the TD. GB could have opted to go for it.

It probably was and that is why it is not worth watching a league that is making billions off fans and is too effing cheap to pay REAL officials.
If they had just called the game properly it would peobably have been over early because GB doesn't have a defensive back who can cover a receiver without holding him.

Rodgers has the same number of NFC titles as Rex Grossman.
I went ahead and was reliving some of the Packers recent fails in Championship games. holy shit....i forgot how insanely bad 2014 game was. like you shouldn't have been able to lose that game if you tried....
I watched this too recently. A collective team effort to screw it up. Wilson was intercepted 4 times. I think it was Shields just falling down after the 4th thinking they won it. Rodgers intercepted by Sherman in the end zone. The punter throwing a touchdown. Im not even sure how they converted the two points. That was a really bad loss.

How would you know beforehand the game is going to be fixed?? Unless the Packers fire the entire coaching staff and GM and revamp the defense I won't be watching another NFL game.
Lafleur coaching with an old school mentality for a younger HC. Old school is to rely on the D with your timeouts.
but if the strength of the team is on O you give them a shot at it.
1) get the TD and the 2 points. Now have to defend Brady in a 2 minute drill for a game winning FG
2) get TD and miss the 2 points. Can either onside it or kick it deep. Likely he kicks it deep given he played for the FG. So relying on D to get a stop.
3) miss the TD and TB gets it inside the 10 depending on the play call. Was it thrown into the end zone or short hoping to run it in. Still have to stop TB but they are deep.

This game was so set up for AR to show the world his coach was holding his team and himself back.That was the narrative to start the season and AR just tore it up all season just to crawl back to his past.
A home game in January vs the GOAT , The table was set for him to prove himself ,Brady even coughed it up on a silver platter 3 times in the 2nd half.
GB had it all right in thier hands and blew it.
People wanna cry about the Reffs , most good teams can overcome a few setbacks. Rogers /GB starting to look like Romo/Cowboys of the North that lucked in to a ring not a team being held back by a crap coach.

This game is on Rodgers... Twice he had 1st and goal and failed.
Rodgers been holding this team back, imagine they had someone like Favre in his prime this whole time they make it back more than once I think

Brady threw the pics but Rodgers kept getting sacked. I blame the QB for some of those sacks.
LaFleur obviously made a dumb decision.
The Packers needed a TD, one way or another.
What do you think has the better chance statistically of happening:
1) Converting a 4th-and-goal from the 8 yard line, and then converting a 2 point conversion.
2) Kicking a FG, then forcing a 3-and-out on defense, and then marching 60 or 70 yards down the field after the punt in 1:20 with 0 timeouts to score a TD.
I am pretty sure the first option has the far greater chance of success.
The first option requires your offense to make 2 key plays to tie the game and force overtime.
The second option requires your defense to make 3 key plays and then your offense to make some big plays to move the ball 60-70 yards in 1:20 with 0 timeouts.
Many more things have to go perfect for you in the 2nd option.

Skip with the triple slam dunk this morning!
Skip is completely euphoric right now.
He loves Brady and hates Rodgers.

I mean I know I'm probably in the minority but I've thought Rodgers was vastly overrated even long before Skip made it a thing.
A 43 year old throwing 40 TD's........ seriously, have the rules swung that much in favor of offense?

Rules do favour offensive play now and you are not allowed to hit any player like you used to. But how come he is the only one to do what he's doing?
And I'd like to see you last one play in this flag football!
Rodgers could have helped the coaching staff by running it on third down to make it much closer to go for it.
I would have taken the shot to tie the game. Could live if Brady went down for the game winning FG with 2 minutes and all of his timeouts. Everything was riding on their final possession.
I used the Seahawks last year as a prime example. They ended up 4th and 10 from midfield and punted to Rodgers who secured 2 key first downs and ended the game. I would have banked on wilson Making a play than the D getting Rodgers off the field.
maybe they still lose the game if Brady has to get a FG to win. Even trying to milk the clock Brady isn’t afraid to throw it.
