Dallas really needed this to be 17-7 at the half....they look to clearly be the better team but it's hard to finish off big playoff games on the road, especially with elite QB's on the other side, gimpy or not.

If they rule that pass to Cobb as incomplete, which it obviously was, it is probably 14-7 still.

What is McCarthy supposed to do when he sees them short of a 1st down by a yard, but they give a first down, but yet it is less than 2 minutes. He's not supposed to challenge. Lucky Dallas called time out. But how is he supposed to make it known that needs to be challenged. Is his only recourse to call time out if Dallas wouldn't have, and would he get it back if they reverse the call?

Pereira said only get the time out back if the play resulted in a clock stoppage.

Strange play again....I never actually say the ball touch the field but replay along with science tells me it obviously did. By the book the often don't overturn that but I like it when they do.

Regardless a play or two later Rodgers took a deep sack which should've sealed it but the DB let the receiver get beyond him.

Still Dallas looks to be the better team and if they don't lose the turnover battle in the 2nd half I believe they'll advance.

Yeah but Dallas wasn't calling TO to question the play, but to stop the clock. GB just wanted to point out the need for review!

Are they now allowed to use two view synchronized in time to make review judgments? Like the ball carrier reaches the ball out to the first down marker when he is going OB? Need both views to see how far the ball was advanced in bounds at the time OB was first contacted by his foot.

Packers lineman loses composure and gets a critical 15 yard penalty to make 3rd and 1 from the 16 into a 3rd and 21. I hate how they allow forward progress to be blown dead but allow defenders to whip and whirl them 5-7 yards more....it happens across the league every game, but this is what made Lang lose it.

Gotta keep your head!

I believe if Dallas scores next they will blow this game completely open.

Good playoff game where players are banged up and still battling.

Smart play by Adams to construct hios move after the catch to the side of the defender that would result in a TD if he missed the tackle, rather than just 10 yds more if he missed to the inside.

Cowboys need to adjust and put some heat/hits on Rodgers

That's why Romo can't quite get the respect he might deserve.....so few if any others can do that

I'm calling it a catch.....do you have to maintain throughout like out of bounds plays?

That was fantastic and a ridiculous big game grab

I think it's a catch, took a few steps and stretched out for the goal line.

Wouldn't right forearm hitting the ground mean he was down before ball came out? I don't think you can overrule.

I mean, catch it and take 3 steps and 2 elbows down. These rules simply make no sense.
