Well hell that wasn't what anyone wanted today.

Packers lose.
Detroit wins
Seattle wins

Can't dwell on it to long, Packers have to get ready to go to Tampa Bay.

Win the last 2...12-4 worst that The Packers could be is 2nd seed, still plenty of football to go.

Not the path I wanted to see, but it is what it is.

Gotta give credit to Bills coaches, they put together a great plan.

The players executed that plan to the tee!!!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Yeah, but the reason the rule was put in place was to prevent desperation fake fumbling to advance the ball at the end of the half/game. It was a direct result of the Oakland Raiders "Immaculate Deception" play back in the 70s--Ken Stabler 'fumbled' the ball to avoid being sacked. No Raider player was able to pick up the ball and run with it (as they had Chargers players hanging all over them trying to recover the ball), so they batted the ball forward until it was in the end zone, and then fell on it.

The Packers should not have found themselves in that position in the first place. The rule is fine, the Packers play is not.

I didn't learn anything today. I've known we have trouble and will always have trouble with strong defensive teams that get in your face with intimidation. Unfortunately there will be three of these teams in the NFC playoffs: Seattle, Detroit, and Arizona. We can't avoid all of them.

How is it a gray area if there is a fumble to not blow the play dead until the offensive player advances it past the point where the fumble happened? Seems pretty simple to me. If it's too difficult to determine where the fumble happened then make it the original LOS.

The spirit of the rule is to keep an offensive player from fumbling on purpose to advance the ball in an end of game situation. What happened today is not in that spirit. It's simply a dumb rule.

Whenever a rule doesn't go in favor of your under-performing team, it is always a "stupid"/ "dumbass" rule, lol.
