Why Did We Call a Timeout?

I can't seem to understand why we called a timeout before the halftime when we all knew they we're going to run and they came back at us with a run again and picked up enough to go for a hail mary!

I mean if they run and we stop them, time drops and they probably wouldn't even have enough time to make those 2 big plays. We gave them time to rest !!!

Or a wide-open Jermichael Finley.

I will say, on replay it looked like Jennings might have run the wrong route. He looked really confused as he adjusted back toward the wrong ball. Either that, or Rodgers threw the ball to the wrong location. In either case, there seems to have been a miscommunication.

Also on the Hail Mary, I would have got burned too and that's why I am sitting at home and they are coaching out there I guess. But I thought the Giants were going to do a quick throw to the outside to get out of bounds for a FG, I was completely surprised when they went Hail Mary. I think the media and fans are a bit harsh on the D and Mike McCarthy on that play. It was not a traditional Hail Mary situation. For example, where you are down by 6 with 3 seconds left or whatever. The Giants were about 5-10 yards from a FG. Would you really play a traditional Hail Mary defense if the other team only needed a FG with 6 seconds left?

The play before, with the run, I don't understand it at all. That was nuts, to allow someone to get 15 yards and get out of bounds when you know they are running. But the actual Hail Mary, I don't know, I was fooled for sure.

I'm not judging the play call, just wondering what the reason of his timeout is ... I mean I was expecting a short throw not a hail mary also but what was the t.o. for?

Not to say it was either persons fault but I think Rodgers probably put the ball where he meant to.

Rodgers was also throwing on the run. In any case you GOTTA be able to make those plays. Between that play and the Finley throw as well a few throws to wide open recievers that they had to almost lay out and scoop off the ground, rodgers had a very, very poor game...To the Level that I have not seen from him. Not this year, not last year not even in 2008.

Hail Marys sometimes work. The Packers had three players within a foot of the ball before the receiver's feet touched down. Sometimes shit happens.

The inexcusable bit, as several have pointed out, was the play before. No way should he have been able to run downfield, then across the field, then out of bounds. If the Packers had 50 percent of SF's defense tackling skills, the clock would have run out and the hail mary play (or a FG or spiking the ball or anything else NY might have done) would have never taken place. The clock would have run out.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Zero2Cool (6h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (6h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (7h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (14h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
