I'm really not sure which team I would rather face.  We did beat the lions in Detroit, but it was a Thursday game and they probably were overlooking us a bit after killing us at the beginning of the year.  I could see parsons giving us fits.

I dunno. Sweat didn't do jack today did he?

Aaron Jones, Aaron Jones, Aaron Jones.  Is there a better 5th round draft pick we've had?  

Mark Brunell had a pretty nice career.

According to Pro Football Reference, Corey Linsley is ahead of Jones as well.

CBS, probably because they don't have anything else.  Now why fox is showing the cowboys game is crazy, especially our market.

Oh that's right. Good catch.

Now why is Fox still showing the Cowboys game?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'd prefer Dallas. We will be dogs either way and losing to a 2 seed Dallas is shameless. Losing to a division rival in a 3rd matchup is worse. They should beat us but it's still worse.

Plus the glory of spoiling yet another Cowboys playoff is delicious. It's got the better payoff.

It didn’t hit the ground at all.  Not sure what you are looking at.

It almost literally couldn't be more obvious. What do you think causes the ball to suddenly bounce back up?

 

[young guns]

This seems like a waste if time booth review.

[young guns]

Well Dallas it is.

It clearly shows it hits his arm and then bounces up.  Nowhere in that video does it show it hitting the ground.

Packers-Cowboys will get a lot of hype, probably late game on Sunday. This feels great, what an incredible game by Love. And I sure hope healthy Jones is here to stay.

I think GB can put up some points on DAL. Now can they get enough stops from the defense though.

Here is the angle that nate82 was saying showed it definitely didn’t hit the ground.

I honestly think people are mistaking the right glove for the ball in this shot. There's no other way you can not see the ball on the ground.

Exactly, the ball is blocking the receivers face.

When you watch the clip you can literally see the ball bounce off the ground and change direction.

With how quickly they reviewed that play, it was almost like they didn’t want to overturn it.

I honestly think the ball hits his face mask and bounces up.  I’m in the camp of it didn’t hit the ground.   

[adambr2]

Like...you can see it hit the grass and bounce up. I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe at some point to even debate this.

I don't know why, but I felt much better coming into this game today after hearing Fields' lame attempt at trash talk. Like that was the "ah nah, this is just gonna be the same old thing" moment for me.

That's pretty tame compared to what Jaquan Brisker said AFTER the game.

Honestly I didn't know who Brisker was until I saw this tweet.

Time to call up Crosby, if they win this game.

Watching continuing coverage to see Crosby kickoff to the five and doink (more like boom) a 44-yard attempt.

What the heck is Valentine doing?

Per rules, when the coverage team is the first to touch the ball results in a *violation*.  The receiving team has possession and can advance without risk of losing possession.  Valentine could have advanced and fumbled, Packers would have been awarded possession back at the COP.  Also, the receiving team is awarded one play from scrimmage, even if the clock is 0:00.
