Clay Matthews has really fallen off as well. He could have tackled Fitzgerald around the 45 and saved the season but totally whiffed.

Momentum, road team, and XP is now 32 yards and not automatic.

Agreed 100%. It's a shame he has a piece of shit throwing the ball to him.

Bummed a bit for the Packers. Injuries just caught up on them. Don't deserve to go on though, really missed some key opportunities to put the game away.

That said, the NFL is really been under fire with a lot of their rules and standards recently. I hope some things change. Most importantly, that OT stuff is garbage.

Oh well, no more pigskin for me until late August. Fingers crossed I'll get to visit Lambeau again this year. It was awesome being there in December for the first time in 7 years.

At least in regards to overtime, ensure the other team touches the ball even if the team who gets the ball first scores a TD. Then if Team 2 scores a TD to tie, it "resets" meaning there's another coin flip and the rules start again: even if Team 1 scores a TD Team 2 gets a chance to tie. All other overtime rules are the same. For example if Team 1 kicks FG Team 2 can win with TD or if Team 1 turns it over Team 2 wins with FG.

NCAA overtime, but start at midfield, so it would take two first downs (~20 yards) for a <50 yard FG.

Each team should get possession of the ball at least once in OT. Period.

Larry Fitz is amazing, and the Cards were the better team and I hope they win it all...that being said, the officiating throughout these playoffs has been abysmal, and even though replay has helped with correcting calls that have been missed on the field for the most part, the judgment calls have been inconsistent at best.

Flip the coin and play normal football until one team owns both the lead and possession.

Call me crazy but I would have some set plays for Vick and the first one would be a bomb to Bryant or the bum Heyward Bay. They stand no chance if they don't go deep to relieve some of the pinning back of the ears by the Broncos....if Ben can throw it 50 yards that would even better.

I'm not reverse jinxing be use they'll give it a go no doubt, but it's really setting up a Manning/Brady AFC final showdown.

But maybe it'll be Steelers at Chiefs for the AFC marbles
I have no doubt the Drama Queen (Ben) was playing "possum" with his ligament comment. I think he embellishes the extent of his "injuries", hoping an opponent will ease up in just the slightest way.....

This x100000. He is a dramatic fat piece of shit. I hope Denver goes after that shoulder every play. I don't care if it is dirty or not.

Good, hope he throws for 700 yards...but you don't have to watch long to see that he is HOF like throwing to AB and iffy as hell on those same routes to Bryant and especially Wheaton.

The difference between Antonio Brown and Heyward Bay cannot be measured.

Denver, is not only pissed about the last game happenings but are playing at home for a shot at the AFC Championship...they aren't going to let up at all. Denver is full go on defense and they're defense is as good as anyone's.

We'll see how Ben's arm is because the Haley play will happen on the first or second 3rd down and 3-6 yards.

I'll take it. Brown being out is bitter. Very bitter. If they lose I want them to lose with most of their top players out there.

And then they have a skills competition to decide it.

Maybe the NFL should go to a FG kicking contest or who can throw the ball the longest?
