2 man rush on 3rd and long? That’s a special kind of stupid.

There were three, but they were playing to contain, not rush, Wilson. I’m sure Dom Capers would appreciate your input though.

Seconds before it was “a two score game” and now it’s… a two score game. That guy makes lots of money being stupid on TV.

I had an entire season of watching the Bears implode, so I know what you mean. It is great fun watching a team you dislike just fall apart.

Far be it from me to defend Buck-Aikman, they are a trial, but the statement was accurate. Personally, I think Carroll was a fool for not going for 2 there.

Looks like Sherman’s hand got crunched by his teammate’s helmet going out of bounds earlier.

And I believe that pick just ended the game unless the D shows up again.

Hope you’re not trying to say that the Packers forced all those turnovers. Obviously they caught the ball, but those were some of the easiest turnovers you can get in a playoff game. Wilson and Kearse have been an abomination in this game, playing like they are drunk. Even the fumbled kickoff was a gimme, the guy barely had to touch the guy to knock it out and it rolled right into the recovering players hands uncontested.
