Saturday Games

Green Bay went 96 yards in 55 seconds without a timeout, including converting a 4th-and-20 from their own 4. Janis had 101 yards receiving in less than a minute.
 
I have a question about Patrick Peterson's interception that was called back. I know it was called back for a hands to the face flag, but Peterson was also flagged for taunting. If the hands to face flag never happened and the only flag was the taunting call, would it have been called back since the taunting occurred before he scored? Most of those taunting flags happen after the play is over so it ends up being a dead ball foul and the result of the play stands with the penalty being enforced on the kickoff or whatever the next play happens to be. Just curious.
 
NFL coaches need to hire a zitty math kid to stand near them in the crunch and count the plays. Had the Cards ran the ball to the two minute warning, you are probably talking about 120 to 110 left to drive the field with no timeouts. These guys are over thinking it. I know a first down end it but you gotta kill clock.
 
1:55 and that was more than they should have had.

The drive indeed started with 1:55 left, but after three plays (including a sack) and a timeout by Arizona, the Packers had a 4th-and-20 from their own 4 with 55 seconds left in the game.

A first down would have ended the game on an in-bounds pass, but that completion would have led the receiver out-of-bounds with the 2-minute warning still to come. So while it would have allowed the Cardinals to take more time off the clock, they couldn't have won the game with that particular play, which makes the call all the more baffling.
 
I just don't see the Cards advancing any further than next week no matter who they play. Palmer was freaking terrible and got lucky on numerous occasions, good game to watch though. What Rodgers managed to do with those 5th and 6th string WR was quite incredible.

I am confused by this as well because taunting is an unsportsmanlike foul. I do not know how that can be declined, dead ball or not. I thought it should have been GB's ball + illegal hands to the face + 15 yrds. Isnt this similar to what happened in the steeler game when Gay got flagged for dancing?

Depends... Typically, if it happened while the play was going on then you get one penalty out of all that are called.... if it happens after the play is dead, then you get it tacked on to the play.... Gays celebration was post TD... the Td was called back, but the foul was a dead ball foul so it holds up... same with the Jones penalty at the end... the Burfict one was in play... the jones one after the fact... I think the taunting call was as he was still running.... so it wouldn't get tacked on, but had he gotten a celebration penalty in the end zone, it would have been
 
I changed the channel figuring the game was over. Totally missed the Hail Mary and OT.
 
Last week all road teams won. This week, so far, the home teams have won. That trend will not stand today.

We will see what MVP C- A- M is today and then we will all see the Seahawks go to another Super Bowl and likely win it.
 
Just watched the 2nd half on NFL Game Rewind. That was an entertaining game.
 
The P*ts game was what I expected. Somehow the Cheatriots would keep Marsha clean and the Chiefs would fail to cover the quick outs to Amendola and Gronk would beast on the Chiefs secondary. Better than I thought it would be at the end, but I expected it. Hoped for a Chiefs repeat of their earlier success, but no joy.

Cards v Pack was a great game and both teams came to play. Home field was the difference as was 11. Larry was a complete class act and beast last night. I would paid pay per view for that one. Arians was laying his balls on the line and he was bit a few times, but 11 saves their ***.
 
So who here is rooting hard for the Pats?.... anyone... hello? anybody?... No, well then Go KC....


In the Late game our two most recent Super bowl foes go at it... I don't really care who wins... I guess Ill root for Arian's Steelers-West team...

I put money on the Pats, so I had to root for them....ok maybe it was root against the Chiefs....but I won that game. ******* AZ cost me in the second.
 
Anyone but the pats

My experience at Arrowhead this year soured my opinion of Chiefs fans....so I couldn't really root FOR them.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But didn't Brown lose a TD once for running backwards into the endzone during a regular season game? I seem to recall that happening.

I think it's likely Palmer will, or at least might, play better now that he has the playoff win monkey off of his back.

That's what I thought. If the taunting or celebrating occurs while the play is still happening I think it gets called back. How ****** up would it have been if Peterson would have had a 99 yard pick 6 called back, in a playoff game, for taunting. It goes back to what I said in a post last week. How can it be that some of these players continually hurt their teams with this ****. It just blows my mind that a player could be so selfish that they would risk losing a touchdown in a close playoff game just so they can showboat.
 
Well, you can thank Deion Sanders for that. they all emulate him

I agree but in fairness to him, you were allowed to do it when he played. He wasn't hurting his team by showboating. These guys today know that you're gonna get flagged for that **** and they still do it. Just the opitimy of selfishness.
