Officiating in this game is yikes

OTs leaving early, play clock expiring...

looked like Rodgers might have been able to run for the TD there

really, if you thought Rodgers was going to pull off a comeback you don't know Rodgers
Rodgers could have run twice on that set of downs.

That FG might be worse than Tomlin's decision to punt in the Browns game.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Compound your stupid 2-pt decision by kicking there.
It ALWAYS works out like this. Never chase points early. They come back to haunt you late. FG there was stupid.

So let’s see, they need to hold Brady to a 3 and out, burn 3 timeouts, then score a TD within 1 minute. Good luck.

That was one pathetic series. Rodgers could have run that one in, Elway-like.

Really just gave TB a free pass to pass on 1st down. Probably helped with TB’s play selection.

Sooooo.....you kick the FG and need a 3-and-out from your 'D'

That being the case, why wouldn't you have gone for 4th? If your 'D' gets the stop you are relying on, you get the ball back with a minute or so.

Never undersell Rodgers. It has been a good game. Hope the next one is as enjoyable!

I have to laugh at all garbage Ben has to deal with about turnovers in the postseason in about missing wide-open guys blah blah blah and then you watch this game and like two of the best in the world missing wide-open guys, throwing errant balls, turning the ball over. Bottom line: shit happens, especially in the playoffs.
How does Ben compare to Brady and Rogers in career playoff INT ratios?
Brady 77-35
Ben 34 -28

Tomlin would have never thought of that.....in another 10 years of coaching

People here hated Arians as our OC and were glad when he was gone.

TB wasn’t playing to turtle and let their defense hold on—they’re thinking about scoring!
