It looked worse in real time than it did on the replay.I'll say this for you ... you're consistent
Yeah, the closest defender to the QB getting pulled from behind. That's normally a lock to be flagged.How there wasn't a holding call there, I don't know.
This didn't age well.My predictions:
TB is all conservative, tried for FG
FG is missed
GB drives the whole field. Goes for 2, misses.
TB drives most of the field kicks a gw FG at 0:00
Huh the TD at the end of the first half was a go route against man coverage with no help...what scheme am I missing?Between that big Gronk play and the TD at the end of the first half, that’s a couple brilliant schemes by the Bucs’ coaching staff.

The safety wasn’t there because he was covering a post route down the middle. Great call going for the end zone when the defense was pulled up to deny the 7-yard out; someone was going to have single coverage, the coaching staff trusted Brady to find it, and he did. Yes, they benefited from a bad defensive scheme, but you don’t automatically get to capitalize on those sorts of mistakes.Huh the TD at the end of the first half was a go route against man coverage with no help...what scheme am I missing?
Fournette forgottenNo one’s forcing them to give it to Ronald Jones for no gain on every first down.
99% chance that either the 2PT is missed or if successful, TB drives for a gw FG98% chance of Rodgers TD drive here
That will be a great consolation to them when they score and then lose by failing to convert a 2pt conversion that they shouldn't have had to try....and if St. Brown hadn't dropped that two-point conversion catch, Green Bay could win it here with a TD.
(responding preemptively to the first person who says "And that's why you kick the PAT if you're Green Bay")
Green Bay? Absolutely not. They need a 2 either way. Better to get it out of the way earlier and know that you’re chasing a TD and not a FG.This is why you take the XP on the previous touchdown.
Boy they needBrady made the right move just burying the ball in the dirt. He was spooked by the early snap and knew he absolutely could not take a sack.
Yep. The problem wasn't going for 2, the problem was throwing it to their 5th string receiver....and if St. Brown hadn't dropped that two-point conversion catch, Green Bay could win it here with a TD.

They only need a 2 now because they got 0 on the last drive. You're thinking of a different scenario.Green Bay? Absolutely not. They need a 2 either way. Better to get it out of the way earlier and know that you’re chasing a TD and not a FG.
If they just kicked the extra point they'd be down 7, wouldn't need a 2 anywhere.Green Bay? Absolutely not. They need a 2 either way. Better to get it out of the way earlier and know that you’re chasing a TD and not a FG.
This would be brutal if it were a Pats game.sphincters tightening. this is crunch time.
In any other situation I agree, but the defense was inexcusable...against cover three that play doesn't work and so hard to give anything other demerits to GBThe safety wasn’t there because he was covering a post route down the middle.
