That’s 4 dropped passes, including one in the end zone. Sheesh. ---

To be fair, that one was high. But the back went to deep down the field. ---

Now we need a stop by the defense. Hasn’t happened yet, but at least they’ll be a bit rested. C’mon Packers. ---

I love how they always talk about a defense not getting any rest, but they never mention how the opposing offense had to play two straight long series, too. :smack: ---

Wow, the Packers defense really blows, doesn’t it? Yikes. ---

So much for that big stop. AJ Hawk has earned by ire. ---

This Packers Defense has not yet gotten the message. :mad: ---

I missed the first half; am I correctly reading that the Packers have yet to stop the Cardinals in this game at all? ---

Why was that not offensive pass interference?? Aikman agrees. ---

There was one turnover, I think, but I don’t think the Cardinals have punted. Maybe once late in the first half. ---

Isn’t it against the rules for Fitzgerald to basically run over Woodson? Isn’t holding illegal anymore? I know, I know. It sounds like whining, but damn man, that was ugly. ---

Sure they can! It was the only reason the receiver was open in the endzone! \ But I get what you are saying, yes. \ ---

At least Jennings and Finley came to play. This Cards offensive performance looks like the game against the Bears. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-wild-card-weekend/523904.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-wild-card-weekend/523904.md?page=7)
