    i would agree. at first i was surprised to see that cards really could throw the switch on in the playoffs. but then the pack came storming back for a shot-out in the end. some blown calls down the strectch but thats life.

    too bad rodgers missed jennings who was wide open on the first play of OT or it would have been 51-45 pack instead.

    overall i am happy the way the team fought back from the 4-4 start. hope that carries over for next year.

    That was like an old WAC conference game image

    Got no dog in the fight, BUT...how could the referee (who was looking directly at the play), not call the face mask grab against Rodgers on the last play of the game?

    Should have been 1st down Green Bay, not an interception Cardinal win. I'd say Green Bay got screwed by the non-call, not saying they wouldh've won, but surely the ref blew it.

    Check the video.

    i might agree there could have been a flag. but when you give up 45 points how do you think you are going to win.

    it all could have been a moot point with a little more air under the first pass in OT. but again a 50yd completion isnt a given even in the NFL.

    The explanation according to "Mike and Mike" on ESPN this morning was because the referee was watching what
    was happening to the ball (according to the rules that was supposed to be his priority appparently) and he simply missed
    the face mask.

    They added that explanation will probably not be well received by Green Bay fans.

    Michigan...

    The view I saw this AM was from a line directly from the infraction to the referee. It would almost be impossible for him not to have seen the face mask grab. In a game of this magnitude, I would think not only was the ref watching the qb, but others as well. The ref, BTW, was leaning over with his hands on his knees appearing to watch with intensity the play. Geez, Ray Charles could have seen this one!

    I say the Packers got screwed, and again, got no dog in the fight, my Pats stunk it up in Foxboro. No big deal if it was earlier in the season, but all da marbles were on the table and a miss of this magnitude is unforgiveable.

    Green bay fans ridiculed us Vikings fans when AD fumbled to lose the game vs the Bears. he was facemasked as well. Funny...

    Green Bay has a great future in their squad, no doubt about that.
    Am I speaking Chinese?
