I see the title got changed, but to be perfectly honest, CHI-GB rivalry aside, I think the Cowboys were absolutely robbed by those crooked ass refs, so IMO the cheeseheads didn't deserve to be in the NFCCG

Its clear Dez made the catch, made football moves and the ONLY REASON Dez lunged forward for the endzone is because he knew the NFL rule is ground can't cause a fumble, b/c he is a runner at that point. Had Dez known the refs would screw the Cowboys in Lameblow stadium, he would have simply tucked the ball to really secure the completion, instead of lunging.

I'm detecting a high degree of bitterness here.

Also, I think it's a bit harsh to say that GB definitively would not have been in the conference championship were it not for the flag. If memory serves, the Packers would've had a minute thirty or so to drive after the XP was kicked, and given how great a job Dallas did at stopping the Packers' offense when they needed the ball back, I'm not so sure they could've stopped GB from at least getting into FG range to win the game.
