Lmao detroit fans pulling the conspiracy card. This isn't Lakers/Kings or Spurs/thunder game 6, it was 1 controversial call.

8-0 on the road, tbh.

Other than Seattle, Cowboys had a cupcake road schedule, Lambeau is a different beast.

Even if that interference flag stands Stafford would not have gotten them into the end zone. Likely just another field goal. Dallas scores a TD and wins anyway. The Lions got tentative in the 2nd half. Dallas has a damn good team. I was extremely pissed as I saw it all unfold and after the game for about 20 minutes. Then I snapped to......of course they lost. This is the Lions after all. One playoff win since Eisenhower was in his second term. ing hilarious. And I'm the dumbass who keeps watching and waiting. The Detroit Lions are the worst professional sports franchise over the past 5+ decades. Worse than even the LA Clippers. the Lions. And me.

Packers have 1 signature win against the Patriots, that's it.

[Trill Clinton]

So we pulling the refs card? Lol

Hang in there man, at least your team doesn't get cowboys type hate, tbh. How did you even become a lions fan? Tbh.

One "softer" thing to consider that you seen in sports so many times: The "over the hump" letdown. It just feels like the Cowboys have had the "win a playoff game" cloud hanging over them and now that they have got it, they go into emotional letdown. Many times when you get over that proverbial hump, you lose the next one (and sometimes badly).

[pgardn]

under-throwing the ball at a defender with his back turned hoping for PI is the NFL equivalent of Harden/Westbrook types throwing themselves into the defender hoping for a foul

this is the playoffs get that out of here

Absurd.

Possible but I don't see it. I feel like they can play more freely now. Less pressure imo. Rodgers is gonna torch the secondary though.

Romo's second half = 11 of 15, 144 yards, 1 TD, 125.4 rating

Stafford's second half = 11 of 18, 132 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 60.4 rating (plus two lost fumbles)

Gotta give it to Romo he never threw the pick we all thought he would throw.

Looks like there was OPI on that infamous play:



Good call, refs.

The Cowboys also got a BS "running into the kicker" penalty that kept their 99 yard drive alive. Call it a makeup no call.

Our much maligned defense gave up only 3 2nd half points and held Megatron without a TD.

[DarrinS]

It doesn't really matter which team won this game, tbh.

Very impressive. I'm proud of them. With little pass rush they played with nothing but heart.

Terrible call.
Then call it offensive pass interference, which it was not, but don't pick the flag up.
The defender made no attempt to play the ball. Period.

But, I still believe Dallas was the better team anyway. So possibly a game changer, but the better team won.
So I got no beef with the outcome.

[Kawhi]

Murray gonna get 150 next week

[blizz]

What about the ty "pick" call against the Cowboys when the WR was pushed into the DB? There were bad calls all game long. On THE CALL, it should have been a no call because there was contact on both sides. Contact initially started by the WR push off and hands to the face. It was bad that they called it then picked it up. I have never seen that before but never should have been called in the first place.

[Trill Clinton]

Trill Clinton where you at bruv?

sup?

[Chinook]

Actually...

2009 Pats win 27-21
2010 Pats win 23-20
2011 Pats win 23-20
2012 Ravens win 31-30 and 28-13
2013 Pats win 41-7

So it's Pats 4-2

What part of "since 2010" means 2009? And don't forget the Ravens owned the Pats in the Wildcard round in 2010.

6 hours later? Really?

TBH, thr right and best call would have been off-setting penalties replay 3rd down.
Pettigre grabbed face-mask.
Face guarding is not a penalty, but Hitchens had jersey I think right before Pettigrew grabbed face-mask.
Poorly officiated game overall but that play was not the deciding factor.
stafford cannot be trusted at this point in his career, tbh.
