(Non-Patriots) Divisional Round Discussion and Game Thread

[staz]

Ouch.

 

[shawnrbu]

Refs pick up the flag if the Cowboys are playing the Lions.

 

[Stitch01]

shoukd have been holding I think

 

[Harry Hooper]

After all the stuff let go today, hard to believe we see a PI call now.

 

[johnmd20]

Only one guy on that list is a true #1 wide out, and he was here for what, 2 years? And during that time, Brady annhilated the record books. I'm obviously talking about the non-Moss years. The rest of those guys are who they are because of Brady and the offense he runs, and would be nothing more than Cole Beasley anywhere else. Cole Beasley is not a "weapon." But he'd catch 95 balls in New England.

Devonta Adams and Randall Cobb aren't weapons either. But they catch a lot of balls in Green Bay. You're making a ridiculous argument, stipulating Welker and Edelman weren't stud receivers. Plus Gronk and Hernandez, while he was playing.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Ha. Hate the cowboys

 

[staz]

Run, run, run.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Thats a horrendous throw by Rodgers. He was incredibly lucky to be bailed out

 

[teddykgb]

Isn't that holding or illegal contact

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I mean, you're right, Brady's always had garbage players, who didn't know what they were doing. Probably way the Patriots have made it to 6 straight championship games. Because their players suck.

Yeah, because that's what I said. Exactly.

The pick sorta forced the official's hand. Wonder if that's a no-call if the pass hits the ground.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Crosby is no guarantee.

 

[Jnai]

Isn't that holding or illegal contact

Immediately what I thought

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

Yes, on the reverse angle looked like it was before the ball was released.

they picked it up last week when the seahawks were playing the lions

 

[PedroKsBambino]

The pick sorta forced the official's hand. Wonder if that's a no-call if the pass hits the ground.

Flag aready in air it looked like

Flag was thrown before pick

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

You have Aaron Rogers. Go for the first down. If you miss the FG you're screwed so go try to win.

 

[troparra]

Wow.

 

[alydar]

Wow what a blow up by the cowboys dline

 

[Ed Hillel]

McCarthy is brutal

 

[johnmd20]

That playcall was a McCarthy special. Line was stacked to the ass and they run right into it.

 

[The Needler]

Which guys does Rodgers have who were stars without him? Giving Brady credit for every breakout receiver and no blame for the early round and big name busts, then negating Rodgers for making his early round picks good is dumb.

Jordy Nelson is a perennial top 10 DVOA WR, and Cobb and Jones have joined him some years. Other than Moss, I don't think a Patriots WR has ever cracked the top 10 with Brady.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

McCarthy really is not creative on these things.

 

[staz]

That was problematic.

 

[Stitch01]

Classic McCarthy

 

[Sportsbstn]

Huge play. Big 3rd down now

 

[strek1]

Bad play call there.

 

[GregHarris]

Out of range.

 

[Al Zarilla]

YOU HAVE TO PASS, MCCARTHY!

 

[Ale Xander]

good job McCarthy

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Should pass here.

 

[mauidano]

Big loss on that and crucial third down. Big Time gut check.

 

[alydar]

I don't think GB tries a FG if this is incomplete

 

[Harry Hooper]

The pick sorta forced the official's hand. Wonder if that's a no-call if the pass hits the ground.

Maybe, but was the flag flying before the pick was made?

 

[BigSoxFan]

LOL McCarthy

 

[strek1]

Ballgame.

Not at all. Even if he kicks the FG there's a LOT of time left.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

This is all on McCarthy. He decided he was happy with making Dallas use all three time outs and then kicking a 50 yarder. Awful.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Wow that was a ghastly play execution. Not a bad playcall, just TERRIBLE execution

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Which guys does Rodgers have who were stars without him? Giving Brady credit for every breakout receiver and no blame for the early round and big name busts, then negating Rodgers for making his early round picks good is dumb.

That isn't even close to how this conversation started, that's where you guys took it. Right now, without Adams and Nelson, Rodgers has a group of receivers that resemble the receiving corps the Patriots have trotted out for the majority of Brady's career. That's it.

 

[mauidano]

WTF????

 

[teddykgb]

That pass by Rodgers was nuts

 

[Ale Xander]

Crosby is no guarantee.

55?

Hah

 

[PedroKsBambino]

What awful clock management and play calling.

 

[johnmd20]

I mean, why go for a Touchdown when you have one of the best QB's in the league?

Green Bay totally effed this up. Crosby does have a leg but 56 yards is ridiculous. Someone called this missed FGA. And he's going to miss.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I don't agree with going for this FG either.

 

[Jnai]

Lonnnnnnnng kick here

 

[mauf]

Flag was thrown before pick

I'm saying if there was no DB back there -- when he threw the flag, it was clear that only the defender had a chance to catch the ball.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Jordy Nelson is a perennial top 10 DVOA WR, and Cobb and Jones have joined him some years. Other than Moss, I don't think a Patriots WR has ever cracked the top 10 with Brady.

I mean.... That's because they have a great QB and throw a shit ton? It's a circular argument to discount a guy's performance because of his performance.

 

[ifmanis5]

No way he makes this.
