And who are you pulling for? I'd love to see the Cowboys upset the Cheese heads but frankly do not expect that to happen. Green Bay stays alive one last week with a win over Jerry's bunch.

I'm really looking forward to this one.. I hope Dallas can keep it close and make it a fun finish but I see GB kinda pulling away late.
Key issues for this game:
1) Weather - It will be cold and frozen grass - slick and dangerous for players making cuts. May be an advantage to the Off.
2) Calf of Rodgers - it is some type of strain or tear - he has had the extra week to heal, but still, on slick grass, this could change the game if he gets hurt and out. Probably won't be as mobile which helps Dallas.
3) Can Romo and Murray work in this weather - Romo is absolutely awful in cold weather, but if Murray can peform and run well, it takes pressure off of Romo.

Man, I just don't know.....this really shouldn't be Dallas here anyway, and Green Bay is my sleeper SB team. I have to like them in the cold of Lambeau, but something about this game scares me, and it isn't Romo.

As someone with no dog in this fight, I must say, what a focking horrible reversal by those refs. Irritates the shit outta me.
Bryant was going to the ground. By rule he must hold onto it throughout entire process of contacting the ground. He didn't so it is incomplete.

Not bad on one leg!

Absolutely.. But I also understand that these refs constantly preach that they need definitive proof to overturn a call made on the field. IMO, there was nothing definitive to say he didn't have possession, make a football move and then go to the ground where the ball was jarred loose by the ground. If they had ruled it a no catch initially I'd have no problem with them sticking to that call. Its a shame, great play by dez.

Great play it was, just Like calvin Johnson's catch was, but the rule states what it states and they had plenty of time to decide. Rogers would have simply brought them down the field on one leg and won the game anyway!

I don't question the rule, just the application after the fact in this case. The call simply should have stood as called. And ur right, arod probably would a pulled it off. Id have love to have seen a wild ending like that not marred by refs calls.

But they're not consistent in the aspect of how what kind of evidence is needed to overturn borderline calls. It leads to situations like we had today. And the morons they bring on for commentary like mike Pereira just make it worse when they're constantly contradicting their fellow refs for everyone to hear.

Everyone fails to acknowledge or realize there was still 4:30 left in the game. Give the Cowboys their TD. Who here thinks that a one legged Rodgers would not have figured out a way to march down the field to FIELD GOAL range and still win this game??? Just like last week.....there was 7 or 8 minutes left when that play took place. These two calls did not determine the game.......Period. 8 minutes is an eternity and 4 minutes a lifetime in the NFL. I don't like the rule, felt it was a catch, but was not worried about the game. At that point ANY true fan wants their QB to have the ball in their hands. Rodgers EARNED this game. Dallas Fan is a joke!!! Do they feel the refs got it right last week, then wrong this week???? LAUGHABLE!
