Pack needs this next third down, or the game could be over soon.

Oh well, Pack season ends. Fine effort to fight back by the GB Offense in the 2nd half. Defense was basically nowhere to be found today.
Didn't like that 1st down play call to go for broke in OT. Waste of a down.
Fine season by Green Bay. Rodgers best days are ahead of him.
Hawk will need to improve in the off season.
I suppose I'll get behind the Vikings in NFC now.
Let's go Colts and Vikings.

Jaxvid, talk about a play being reviewed, what the f..k about the helmet to helmet hit that D-linemen affelet laid on Rodgers! "Nonething to see here, lets all move along." Either the refs are on the take or are hard core affelet lovers. Man I am pissed.

What I just don't understand is why coaches -- whether they're white or black -- can't seem to have it drilled into their heads that a team is most successful if it's got a decent number of white players on it, both for their inherent skill and also for the calming influence it has on the blacks. May sound racist, but come on!

horrible job by the refs, maybe they didn't want such a White team to stay in the playoffs. 3 different White players scoring a td in the same game, now if only Clay Matthews could have taken that fumble recovery back further for a td.
Saints have a few White players to cheer for. Kyle Eckel has gotten a couple of carries and a few receptions the brief time he has been here, Heath Evans had a bigger role than most fullbacks before he was put on IR. David Thomas has seen the ball quite a bit and has actually lined up as a slot receiver quite a bit since hes been here Jeremy Shockey should be a threat if he is 100 percent healthy. 2 White linebackers in Scott Shanle and Scott Fujita. Fujita used to be the better of the two but Shanle has been outplaying him. Shanle is a very underrated linebacker. Jeff Charleston sees some playing time at DE, but will probably see more time now that LDE Charles Grant is out for the season. Chris Reis is a Safety that sees significant playing time in certain packages that the d coordinator uses. Too bad they don't have more Whites on the line, Stinchcomb is great and made the pro bowl this year, but the rest of the line is average at best. Brees has such a quick release, but sometimes the line fails to protect, Id love to see what he could do behind a better line. Hopefully Strief will get the nod at LT over Bushrod who almost got Brees killed the last few games.
just anybody but the Cardinals

I noted that blatant face mask during the replay and was saying the officials should have thrown a flag.The negro grabbed Roger's mask and pulled him all the way down with it.They even showed the replay in slow motion WTF!This of course, was just one in a number of no calls, or phantom calls during the came.
Once again, it was the super afroletes in the secondary that decided the game by their pathetic coverage "skills."

BS officiating again!
The Leagues explanation.
http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/16221/nfl-offers-context-in-face-mask-ruling
The NFL issued a rules explanation Monday in response to questions about the play. I got my hands on it this afternoon, and its general tone suggests that no illegal act occurred because Adams -- in the judgment of officials -- did not twist, turn or pull Rodgers' facemask. An inadvertent grab is legal in part because of a 2008 rule revision.
Watch the video and see what happened. The NFL lied!
Helmet to helmet also somehow overlooked.

There were many, many strange (seemingly random) calls during this game.
Aside from the final play in OT, which wasn't reviewed for the "arm going forward" rule, and an obvious facemask wasn't called....there was also the Fitzgerald TD in which he smashed Woodson to the ground beyond 5 yards, then made a wide open TD catch.
Randy Moss was called for that exact thing during the 3rd quarter of the Pats game....it knocked them out of FG range during the only drive in which Brady looked in rhythm....without that penalty, it might have created a 2-possession game for the Pats.
More shady behavior during a game in which the Packers were favored to win in Vegas (wink, wink). Edited by: Thrashen

Man I was PO'd the Packers couldn't get it done. Hopefully, the Colts can get it done in the AFC.
The Packers' all-sumo D-line was useless against the Cardinals' usually crappy sumo-dominated O-line. There seemed to be no adjustments made during the game to try and pressure Kurt Warner. Since the Packers' d-backs (other than Woodson on occasion) couldn't cover, what was there to loseby blitzing a lot more?
Clay Matthews was the only defensive player on Green Bay who earned his money. A. J. Hawk had but two tackles. Looks like he's going to be an average to slightly above average LB in his career. Brad Jones, the black rookie who got the start over Brady Poppinga for some reason, also had just two tackles.
With just two White starters, Green Bay's defense wasn't particularly White friendly. Chillar played pretty well, and Giordano got some action. That's obviously where the team needs to focus again. If Aaron Kampman gets healthy and doesn't sign with another team, they should consider going back to the 4-3 to utilize his talents.

A Colts win under Jim Caldwell means more Negro head coaches just as Tony Dungy's win and Mike Tomlin's win meant Raheem Morris and Jim Caldwell.

Well I'm certainly disapointed being a Pack fan and all, I had it figured they would be a two game shot in the playoffs. Clay looked good, he certainly had some hits, but the rest of the D had feet of clay. Jordy really does not belong back there fielding kicks, even I would have pulled him. I would replace him with Kuhn whose runback looked pretty good to me, and I'll bet he is crazy enough to run full speed into the face of the coverage.
I'm glad to see some people here opening speculating about fixed games. It's easier to see when it's the team you want to win that is on the short end of the script. Usually, that's the team with more white players than the other. Anyone who saw the last play in the Packers- Cardinals game knows the game was fixed. Period. Face mask penalties are just about the easiest ones to detect, and the ones they seldom miss. You mean to tell me that the ref who was standing right there didn't see that? Come on! What "honest" officials would want a game to end on a play like that, because of an overlooked penalty?
I grow more and more convinced that these are scripted events. I don't know the specifics, but certainly the refs can determine outcomes all by themselves. Between holding, pass interference, illegal procedure and illegal blocks in the back, virtually every game can be controlled by the men in stripes. Start noticing how often blatant blocks from behind go uncalled, and then question why it is ever called. In the Ravens-Patriots game, on the play when Flacco ran for a first down (after Harbaugh challenged the spot), you could see a Raven knock down a Patriot from behind, right in front of one of those upstanding officials. The official somehow missed it (much like the refs in wrestling don't see any of those "foreign objects in the ring"), and the "honest" announcers didn't mention it, either. This happens repeatedly, in very game, in every season.
Btw, Mike Tyson is hosting Monday Night Raw tonight. Earlier this season, Ben Roethlesberger hosted it. These "legitimate" sports don't even try to distance thsmselves from scripted entertainment any more. It's so obvious that I honestly think a lot of them wouldn't even deny it if a real journalist even exposed the fix. More importantly, I don't think the majority of drunk white fans would care, either.

So the fix was in for three of the games to be scripted to be one-sided and for the blacker team to lose in two of them (though the Ravens arguably aren't any more caste than the Patriots)?

I wouldn't say they fix or rig games to promote the caste system. They would fix games for money.
If they're not 'fixed', they're played and officiated almost too incompetently to even bother watching anymore. This was the kind of thing that drove me away from the NBA years ago, too - before I was ever aware of the caste system.
