NFC Divisional Round Game Thread: Packers at Cardinals

[SeoulSoxFan]

Next up, 10-6 GB vs. 13-3 Zona.

Zona is firing on all cylinders but GB played their best game last week. A playoff Rodgers can't be counted out.

But the Cards have the most complete team in the playoffs and currently the odds-on favorite to win the whole thing.

Not sure I care strongly which team wins. Looking for an entertaining game.

Eh. I'd rank the potential peak performance of the NFC teams as SEA-ARI-CAR-GB so GB.

I'm with you here. I like both these teams.

Also, does the picture look especially good? I wonder what resolution they are filming this game in?

 

[snowmanny]

I wish you here. I like both these teams.

It's not CBS?

 

[mikeot]

So Rodgers is renouncing his Cal Bear pedigree?

 

[johnmd20]

It's not CBS?

NBC. It's the best picture I've seen for a football game this season. Usually on a big screen, it's not like this.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Somebody was uncovered downfield and Rodgers missed him.

 

[snowmanny]

That was ballsy. It worked but not sure I would have gone for it.

 

[snowmanny]

I was promised all week that this game wasn't going to be 38-8.

 

[Brand Name]

I'm with you here. I like both these teams.
I wonder what resolution they are filming this game in?

720, as it always is.

 

[snowmanny]

720, as it always is.

Really? Then why do I own a 1080 TV?

 

[johnmd20]

Really? Then why do I own a 1080 TV?

For blu ray. But this looks 1080. I'm not sure what it is.

 

[snowmanny]

For blu ray. But this looks 1080. I'm not sure what it is.

My wife, whose uncorrected vision is very good, unlike my corrected vision, agrees with you.

 

[Van Everyman]

What an atrocious drop by Cobb

 

[Slow Rheal]

What are the white and blue pads inside AR's helmet on the ears? Never seen that

 

[johnmd20]

An amazing catch.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Shame that catch doesn't count

 

[Al Zarilla]

So Rodgers is renouncing his Cal Bear pedigree?

At least all this year, because he hated the Jeff Tedford firing. Cal may be on the way back now and I wish he'd let it go.

 

[Brand Name]

Really? Then why do I own a 1080 TV?

For blu ray. But this looks 1080. I'm not sure what it is.

Most cable networks send out 720, for purposes of slowmo shots. 1080 costs more, too. That said, my mistake, this is 1080i, certainly not 1080p.

 

[AB in DC]

[edit: re catch]

And Al MIchaels never even noticed it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is Reche Caldwell territory for Rodgers.

 

[pappymojo]

That taunting call is so lame. I hate the NFL.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a fucking moron!

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

If you're taunting during the play, does that offset?

 

[johnmd20]

So if that taunting counted, would the TD not count?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Terrible INT wiped out

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Clete...you said flags on both teams

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Overshadowed is the fact that that was a shit throw by AR.

 

[Investor 11]

What happened to flags on both teams??

 

[Jnai]

Why not accept the taunting call?

 

[Ed Hillel]

So if that taunting counted, would the TD not count?

Nope, they changed the rule a few years ago so it would not have. 15 yards from the spot.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Looked liked they should have called dpi before he made the (negated) INT.

 

[Jnai]

So if that taunting counted, would the TD not count?

No. But the foul would have counted if the play was dead for some other reason I think.

 

[Van Everyman]

Why not accept the taunting call?

Probably because it means the INT counts.

They still fucked that up tho. They must have meant there were two fouls on the play, not against both teams.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Aaron Rodgers seems like a douche of a teammate.

 

[johnmd20]

Probably because it means the INT counts.

They still fucked that up tho. They must have meant there were two fouls on the play, not against both teams.

Yes, it was a bad piece of announcing. And taunting and costing the team a TD is unforgivable.

 

[snowmanny]

Would the taunting have been enforced at the point of the foul?

 

[Brand Name]

Would the taunting have been enforced at the point of the foul?

It's a deadball foul, so no, it would be enforced on the kickoff.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Aaron Rodgers seems like a douche of a teammate.

Why?

 

[johnmd20]

It's a deadball foul, so no, it would be enforced on the kickoff.

But he taunted while the ball was alive.

 

[Tony C]

They still fucked that up tho. They must have meant there were two fouls on the play, not against both teams.

I don't get it either. Aside from its lameness, the play was live and there was a taunting call. I don't see why the other penalty negated it. That the INT didn't count shouldn't have anythign to do with it, logically.

What am I missing.

 

[pappymojo]

Yes, it was a bad piece of announcing. And taunting and costing the team a TD is unforgivable.

I just think it is a stupid rule. Sure, use your 300 body to crush your opponents body as hard as you can. That is okay, but if we think you might hurt his feelings, we will be very upset and take away your points.

 

[Jnai]

This team is not a playoff team with this receiving corps.

 

[Brand Name]

But he taunted while the ball was alive.

SECTION 14 - FOULS AND SPOTS OF ENFORCEMENT, VIOLATION ARTICLE 1. TYPES OF FOULS, b.: A Dead Ball Foul is a foul that occurs in the continuing action after a down ends, or a taunting foul that occurs at any time.

 

[snowmanny]

It's a deadball foul, so no, it would be enforced on the kickoff.

The flag was thrown when he was at around the fifteen.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Why?

Watch him when someone misses an assignment or runs a bad route. He does the eye roll thing enough to be noticeable.

OK, thanks

This came up last week. The penalties against taunting are a pre-emptive measure to stop bench-clearing brawls from breaking out in games.

 

[Van Everyman]

Did Cobb get Bledsoe'd?
