NEW.ERA Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We using this thread to talk about the games?If so. Cincinnati has started this game looking like garbage, only down 6-0 though and Christian Ponder may not play tonight, Joe Webb could be the guy.EDIT: Leon Hall changes everything.

It has "one-hit wonder - lives forever on NFL FIlms" written all over it.Thought the same thing... hope I'm wrong though.I swear everyone other than Packer fans are actually chalking this up as a Packer victory. This is going to be tough.They don't know how close NFC North games tend to be, regardless of records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Those fans could have at least acknowledged that the play was controversial. But instead, they partied like the call was 100% rightBecause it WAS right. http://asubstituteforwar.com/2012/09/24/why-the-replacement-refs-made-the-right-call-in-the-packers-seahawks-game/Just because the regular refs probably wouldn't make that call doesn't mean it was technically wrong. It just shows how stupid and convoluted the NFL's rules really are when games are actually called by the book.So you found one blogger willing to argue that. Problem is that he doesn't understand the nature of "simultaneous possession". Read down the comments; he gets schooled. I understand the NFL's desire to save face. And I don't think the Packers "deserved" to win the game based on how they played the 59 minutes leading up to that. But the call was wrong, even "by the book", and so obviously so that the NFL had to swallow its pride and bring back the professional refs. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Here are the ways of having 11 points:- Touchdown (w/ PAT) + Safety + Safety or - Touchdown (w/o PAT) + FG + Safety or - FG + FG + FG + Safety or - FG + Safety + Safety + Safety + SafetyBut given how Aaron Rodgers was untouchable tonight, the Vikes getting 11 points (must have a safety involved) was more of a crapshoot fantasy.

illwauk Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Actually, if the Vikings had gone for two after their only TD (which I would do, if I had Adrian Peterson), the score could've been 24-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really it's a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
