Zero2Cool;436873I dunno. Game on the line, I want it resting on the arm of Rodgers. Not the defense.


Agreed.
Which is an argument for going for it, not taking the ball out of Rodgers' hands and relying on the defense to get the ball back.

Zero2Cool;436873Going for it on fourth down is the bad call. You're burning up clock. Plus, you probably won't convert. And then you need a high pressure FG to win. If it's converted, you have to prevent the other team from a high pressure FG. Or go to overtime.

Or kick FG, don't pass interfere and give Aaron MVP Rodgers the ball with one time out and nintey seconds to get ya to the Super Bowl.

I dunno. Game on the line, I want it resting on the arm of Rodgers. Not the defense. Not a coin flip. Not a FG attempt. The more I think about this, I'm astonished folks could fathom going for it is a good decision. I need to think more about it.


Aaron had just failed to convert his 2nd or 3rd series on goal to goal. Aaron plays tight in big games, thinking about his place in history rather than the present moment. Can't say I blame him for it, but he was pressing.

And we haven't converted a 2 pointer in living memory.

The MVP for Tampa in this game was Kevin King.
He screwed up every chance he had.
Without him on the field, the Packers probably would be headed to the Super Bowl.
He wasn’t the only one that messed up, but he was front and center.
It’s obvious he’s not good enough to be counted on.
They have to replace him.
