Google posts twitter feeds in addition to the stats. It's kind of fun reading them. The entire future of football turns on every play. :p
Green Bay crumbles! No wait, Seattle is going home with infinite sadness! No wait, Green Bay Seattle just lost the Super Bowl!

Those two third-down conversions were awesome. Seattle got beat by a former Seahawk

You guys do realize that the yellow line isn't official right?

Not saying that they got it right, but that still image of the TV broadcast means absolutely nothing.

I don't think that the calls were at all responsible for the Seahawks loss or the Green Bay win however you want to look at it. Seahawks had an outside chance, as beat up and third and fourth string as they were operating. Clowney, who is clearly an excellent player, is also a penalty magnet. For every excellent play he made he had about one-and-a-half penalties. :)
You can't keep playing your quarterback as the lead rusher game after game LOL.

No it was at Lambeau and every home team was the favored one this weekend there was only one upset.

Go titans!

The only god awful worst call of the season that happened in the Packers game is when they said there was no clear recovery of the fumble, and then they went and showed like 3 different angles of the Packers clearly recovering it, including one of the Packers player handing the ball to the ref.

that's a mighty fine spot

Of all questionable calls that might or might not have impacted a playoff game that spot does not get a place in the top 100,000. It was probably short, but on the first look I can't say the ref was wrong and after a dozen replays I never saw a definitive angle that was clear enough to overturn. Based on replay the original call was going to get upheld because it was too close to flip it either way.

I was easily able to replay the thing over and over again,. the angle you have is wrong. The one I was looking at clearly showed both knees in the air and the ball never touching the ground until he slid to the line. I don't have a horse in this race. So take it however you like.

My team is playing next weekend though :)

Yep, such a terrible call. It's clearly a fumble, and it's clear who comes out of the pile with it. How they can make that call is beyond me.

And no, the yellow line is not official, and wasn't lined up with the first down marker. I don't think he got the first down, but wasn't egregious.

As a Packers fan, I wish I could say I have full confidence in Aaron Rodgers but Seattle has at least a puncher's chance tomorrow. Football playoffs are the ultimate small sample size (aka Any Given Sunday), so any team except for the Titans could still shock us.
:oops:
