zenryan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 5, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) What's more likely, a botched snap or a kickoff return for a TD? Speaking as a Buffalo Bills fan I worry more about the latter. They already had one return stopped by the Kicker this game. in these conditions, a botched snap. Odds of the Packers tossing the ball around the field in these conditions and returning it for a TD are extremely slight. doesnt matter anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The Denver Broncos have played 4 games against the 3 teams remaining in the AFC playoffs. They were 12-0 against every other team in football. They were 1-3 against the Chargers, Colts, and Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't think it's the "only" excitement of the postseason for Bears fans -- it certainly is guaranteed to be a game(s) in which pretty much all Bears fans will have the same rooting interest, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a very Cub thing to do... As opposed to all the Sox fans that root against the Tigers during the playoffs? It's sports, you root for your team, against your rivals, all part of the fun. It's not like the Bears were playing and fans were ignoring it to root against Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was called offside, but let's ignore that to not ruin the drama. Ball went right between his arms, crazy, so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've called it around 7-8 in case of a bad/dropped snap. They only had one timeout left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back and watch every Seattle game, they by far get away with the most in the NFL. Their gameplan is to hold on every down knowing there is no way they will call it all the time. Pete Carroll is a dirty SOB and did the same thing at USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a very Cub thing to do... No, it seems like a very human thing to do. If your team is eliminated, you will find joy in actively rooting against teams you dislike. Due to the fact that it's the oldest rivalry in football, it's very natural that Bears fans will enjoy watching the Packers lose. What's sad is that you are commenting on this as a Packers fan and not commenting on the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sucks that the Packers lost, but I think they played a pretty good game. They were right there with a great football team. Biggest problem for the Packers is staying healthy. I look at that 49ers team and they have all of their starters playing that they had in week 1. I am very jealous of that.

Safety is the one position they really need help. Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some really good players on defense, just none of them play. Safety is the one position they really need help. Bad. Part of the problem for them is that they seem to completely forget that Kaepernick can run during their game preparation. Or if they're not forgetting, they have other priorities. They don't want to let Gore beat them or Kaep beat them through the air, and that requires putting all 11 guys into things and having no one focused on the QB running.

On one of those it looked like it was just blown contain by the blitzer, he tried going inside the blocker and Kaepernick was able to turn it into a huge run on 3rd down IIRC. If he had stayed outside, Kaepernick couldn't have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good blitz, but he came in uncontrolled and Kaepernick was able to run around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at that 49ers team and they have all of their starters playing that they had in week 1. I am very jealous of that. Michael Crabtree & Mario Manningham didn't play in week 1. Carlos Rodgers didn't play yesterday, Bruce Miller didn't play yesterday, Mario Manningham didn't play. Eric Wright who would normally back up Rodgers didn't play either yesterday. 49ers had more significant injuries early in the year and have got healthier over the season, but saying they have everyone from week 1 isn't really accurate.

It does, just because they were the highest doesn't mean they also don't get away with the most. Look at what I said, they do it every play and know darn well it won't be called every play which absolutley means they can get away with the most, regardless of how much they are penalized.

Yes, I have seen every snap and no I did not see it on every play, but a majority yes. I'm not just talking holding, also illegal contact, pass interference, etc. It's a philosohpy of defense that they play and its well known. Pay close attention next week.
