You guys remember the last time we played

It was 3 years ago and the Panthers pulled it off at the end. I have to admit that one stung. What a heartbreaking loss for us but a great win for you guys. We collapsed after that game to finish 6-10 and the Panthers went on to win their division at 12-4 but lost in the first playoff game at home to the Cardinals 33-13. Steve Smith caught a bomb at the end of the game to set up Deangelo Williams from 1 yard out to score the game winning touchdown with just over a minute left. Rodgers threw a pick and you guys iced it there. I remember how classy Panther fans were at the game and after the game. I gained lots of respect for you guys with the sportsmanship the last few times we played. Great fans and passionate about your team. Hope you guys can win a title someday with Newton.

smiths back is still sore from that game (you know, for carrying our entire offense). i wont lie that was one of the most exciting games i've seen from the panthers and was almost as exciting as our season opener that year.

i distinctly remember rodgers describing the hardest hit he ever took to come from that game (by thomas davis no less). i also remember rodgers KILLING us by taking off for first downs over and over and being happy when peppers blew his ass up after he had ran out of bounds (i didnt even care about the 15 yard penalty). i really think that game in particular helped rodgers develop the toughness needed to become what he is now.

anyway i've always been a packers... supporter? never had anything against them, i like how the city owns the team and i like the way they approach obtaining and maintaining players. i hope for a good game sunday and hopefully both sides walk away injury free. best of luck to you all for the season (minus sunday, sorry I wanna win :P) and hopefully we meet up in the playoffs!

      Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB?  Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert.  Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes.  This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable.

      It can still be enjoyable.  I don't think the players are in on it.  I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying.  So it's fun to watch them.  But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50.  It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway.  I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs.  Why else do they keep bad refs?   I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works.  Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.
