Classy Championship Game (NFC and AFC) Game Thread

[mauf]

Bucs are up, but it feels like they're 10 points down.

I dunno. They’ve taken advantage of their opportunities so far; that tends to be what decides who wins closely matched games.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

True double on Adams on that last pre snap look, don’t see that often

 

[mauf]

That’s just Fumb luck

There was targeting on that play that would be reviewable in college. At least, that’s what I think I saw. Wasn’t a big deal since the Pack fell on the fumble, so we didn’t see 10 replays like we did for the hit in the KC-CLE game last week.

True, but the lack of negative plays on offense for GB makes it feel tilted

 

[staz]

seeing the vapor from players breaths is creeping me out

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Drop

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Adams with a shocking drop

 

[DeadlySplitter]

was that really a drop? the throw was off I thought.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

was that really a drop? the throw was off I thought.

He was twisted weird but it was back shoulder I think the timing was just a split second off. That said it went through his hands

 

[Mystic Merlin]

was that really a drop? the throw was off I thought.

The throw was intentionally in that spot to protect it from the CB, that’s by design

 

[patinorange]

was that really a drop? the throw was off I thought.

Yup. Two bad passes in a row.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

3 straight runs and they get a first down, then 3 straight passes from the 6 and they have to settle for a FG.

Although Adams should have caught that first one.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

then Aaron forced it to Adams two times. #13 had a free TD.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nice to see Bucs play some D.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Big drive coming up for Tampa. Gotta keep their foot on the gas and at least get a field goal before the end of the half

 

[Ed Hillel]

Troy with some pretty shitty analysis two plays in a row there.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Defender hit him with his shoulder I think, so no targeting

 

[luckiestman]

I wouldn’t call the first a drop but you want your star receiver to catch that.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

No one to blame but Adams there.

 

[BaseballJones]

Yeah if TB gets a TD before the half they’re in good shape.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Great job by Tampa D because of a dropped pass and a late pass that both should have been touchdowns.

 

[shawnrbu]

Troy with some pretty shitty analysis two plays in a row there.

He thinks the Patriots were a wild card last year.

 

[JokersWildJIMED]

Nice to see Bucs play some D.

Seemed liked more of a miss by the Packers. Wide open Adams with a drop on 1st and a couple of open receivers on 3rd that Rodgers missed.

 

[Ale Xander]

That's gonna haunt GB

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

That’s ad for miller lites pitch was that it’s the same abv as mich ultra but 1 more calorie? Why’s that make you want to buy it

 

[luckiestman]

He thinks the Patriots were a wild card last year.

He just confused WC and WC round. I think he is doing fine.

 

[luckiestman]

Got you to talk about it

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The first down play is a TD 19/20 times with those two, yeah

 

[BigSoxFan]

No Gronk so far

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GOD for the WIN

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Got you to talk about it

I didn't see the ad, but now I think I'll pick some up when I go to the store in a bit.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

might have been better for Godwin to stay in bounds.

edit: oh he did somehow, clock is running.

 

[FisksFinger]

Was holding my breath on that, thought he was going to drop it

 

[Ale Xander]

If GB can't defend that, it's over

 

[bankshot1]

looked like the Welker pass...

 

[Ale Xander]

might have been better for Godwin to stay in bounds.

edit: oh he did somehow, clock is running.

1st half is 2 minutes, 2nd half is 5.

 

[brandonchristensen]

That was a sloppy catch by Godwin there.

 

[staz]

GB defense seems to have stiffened

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tom's fastball is still all there.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Huge play here with GB getting ball to start 2nd half

 

[Harry Hooper]

Should have been a better option there than short toss to Fournette.

 

[Al Zarilla]

That was a sloppy catch by Godwin there.

I was going to say that Godwin has great body control on passes to him, so I will.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

some refs would have called that roughing for sure. but now that I think about it there's been zero flags this half.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Tom's fastball is still all there.

Looked more like Rick Ankiel's.

 

[8slim]

Feels like TB should be up by more.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

This game is flying. Kicked off a bit more than an hour ago and we're almost at the 2 minute warning.

 

[BigSoxFan]

No targets to Evans since the first drive

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

That’s ad for miller lites pitch was that it’s the same abv as mich ultra but 1 more calorie? Why’s that make you want to buy it

The inference is why drink Mich Ultra, which sucks, when you can drink Miller Lite for the same calories.

Make no mistake Lite isn’t a great beer but it’s miles ahead of Ultra.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Feels like TB should be up by more.

Definitely.
If they go in at halftime down 17-14 that’ll be a back breaker

 

[brandonchristensen]

This could be a huge drive for GB.
