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.

Actually the bitterness is all in the thread title.  A more apropo, and classy title would be "my team, the Packers, just committed the biggest choke job in NFCCG history".  But this person is known for dishing it and not being able to take it.  Anyway...

Never said GB would not have won vs Dallas, I said GB didn't deserve to be in the NFCGG. I don't care about "what could have happened" or how much time was left for Erin.    I'm upset the refs ruined that game, and took away what actually happened, when Dallas should have been rewarded for that great effort.  I believe Dez Bryant is a horrible human being, so it pains me to defend him, but he and the 'Boys got robbed.  I'd have tipped my cap to the Packers had they come back after that TD, but again, the refs ruined the  game so we never got to see that proper scenario.  

Other than that, just poking some fun at our hated rivals... :)


Meh, couldnt you also make the argument that the cowboys didnt deserve to be in the divisional round because the lions got robbed when the refs picked up the pi flag?  The refs were horrible in both games, seemingly fixing it for the higher seeded team to progress...

Pretty pleased with my picks should have had a little more faith in the Patriots only picked them to win by 14. Calling it now they will win by at least 21 points in their next game against the Colts.

Just finished watching the games, and must say the first one was very exciting (but you already know that). Just going through motions in the 2nd half of Patriots game, very boring in the end.

Not really a fan of either finalist, but I guess I will cheer for Patriots just because Belichick is Croatian.

I was the only one to expect a Packers victory? Man, that choke ruined me. Fuck the Packers.

Congrats amp316, good luck in the final round.

Gotta admit, I don't know how good I feel about the Hawks against the Patriots if Thomas and Sherman aren't at a 100%

Hopefully those 2 weeks off are enough to at least get them mostly healthy

Thanks, Carl.  It's good to see that you have come to your senses about the Packers.  That being said, I have to admit to being in awe of how they played yesterday.

By the way, I'm glad that a European won't be winning this.

Broncos hire Kubiak, the coach Peyton actually wanted to play for when he left Indianapolis a few years ago. It's an amazing hire, I hope they bring in some discipline guys on offense and defense though to add some fear to the players. From all accounts, Kubes is a very player friendly coach.

So is Atlanta the only team without a coach now?
