Yay - up the middle on 1st and 10 again. Good call. Oy. ---

How can the GB runner allow himself to be knocked out of bounds on that play? No gain, _and_ he stops the clock. ---

Said it before, I’ll say it again: “I think the Packers need to keep pushing on offense and not get too conservative. Play action, screens, and a couple shots down field to keep the pressure on.” ---

Wow. Stupid playcalling by the Pack. Oof. ---

Can we give MVP to Masathay this game? ETA: If the Pack win, that is. ---

Weak ass grounding call. WTF?!? ---

The way they officiate intentional grounding in this League is fucking bullshit. I’m not disagreeing with the call, _per se_, but i’ve seen worse examples than that let go every week in the NFL. ---

Do we go for it on 4th and inches? I think so. ---

> [@Cubsfan](#): > > Weak ass grounding call. WTF?!? Really? There was nobody within 8 yards of that throw. I agree with mhendo that there are worse that aren’t called, but nobody was even close to that throw. ---

I miss Chester Taylor from the Vikings. He’s so reliable in those short yradage situations and always takes care of the ball. ---
