Thanks for the boring post about nothing....kind of. F the fun facts reign! Who's gonna win the SB?

Better yet, tell me who our OC will be this year! Special teams coach or cornerback/secondary coach perhaps?

? Fun facts should have it's own damn place on PP!!

You can't hurt me, just ask Funkytown , she's been trying for years now. *whistle*

But what you're saying is, you care more about guessing and speculation than you do actual facts? I'm not into sorcery. Maybe we should talk about ghost while we're at it too? I can't be friends with someone who doesn't care about facts, especially fun facts.

Besides, fun facts does have it's own place on PP, it's wherever I post because most of my posts are fun and factual. Oooo look at that, another fact! I'm on fire. Which is better than spending most of my time trying to hurt others, like some people.

Double besides, last time I checked, this was the Postseason section, not play make believe about the Vikings section. Maybe we need a place on PP where vikingpwr can spam all his bandwagon nonsense so it's easier to avoid? Speaking of which, it's been 5 minutes, shouldn't you be reminding us how great the Lakers and Dodgers are?

No Lakers or Dodgers need be reminded on here reign, but now that you mentioned that.....Kings are winning 4-1 against the Blues.

I'm not on here to hurt you or others. You do you Reignman and I'm good with it. You're one of the few who doesn't make it personal and it's funny as chit!!!!!

Here it is:

Perhaps Diggs finally realized he's now on the AFC's version of the Vikings, and just wanted to ask Reid if he could use another WR next year?

Allow Packers to intentionally go offsides on 2nd and one and NOT decline the penalty. *huhsign*

. Arians may be good, but he sure is stupid at times.

I'm no rules expert, but I don't think you can decline encroachment. But I thought they were going to change this rule after Vrable abused it last year? Cuz that's what the NFL does, they close loopholes in the rules in the name of sportsmanship, except when it comes to the Packers always going hurry up to catch 12 men on the field. I mean it's not like that's unsportsmanlike or anything.

The team can decline any penalty. Packers got busted for 12 men on the field today. By replay. One of the few penalties that can be called on replay. If I remember correct, 12 men on the field, intentional grounding and passing pass the line of scrimmage can all be called by replay.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of great violence, you are not peaceful, you are harmless.

TB pressured Rodgers on 21 of his 53 dropbacks, (40%)?

That's just a normal day for Cousins. Ugh.

Aaron Rodgers was pressured 22 times Sunday, most in his career in a playoff game, per ESPN Stats & Info. He was blitzed 23 times, second-most in his playoff career. Shaquil Barrett had 7 pressures, matching his high with the Buccaneers. Rodgers went 0-of-4 and took 3 sacks on those plays.

Hats off to Todd Bowles and his D for attacking Aaron Rodgers.

But ... it was an obvious call. No screwing over there.

A ticky-tack obvious call. It wasn't as egregious as the one that happened to the Saints a couple of years ago.

Not as egregious as the Saints call, but not ticky-tack. The defender grabbed and stretched the receiver's jersey halfway across the field which severely limited his ability to get to the spot the pass was thrown. It doesn't get much more obvious than that, and there is no bang bang play excuse that an official could make not to throw the flag. One could have argued it was defensive holding rather than pass interference, but either way, it was an automatic first down.

Based on how they had been letting them play the entire game, they could have easily let that go and not many would have complained. Devin White got away with a jersey tug on the drive just before that that would have given the Packers first and goal at the 1 which turned out to be their last possession.

I saw that, but the ball came in to the receiver, and both he and the defender could make a play on it. Considering how much hand checking was going on and pushing off Packers receivers were involved in, it balanced out. On the DPI called, it was a daylight mugging.

Then you have to consider how the Packers NEVER get a call like that going against them in a big moment at home, especially one that basically decided a championship game, so it makes it that much better.

To be sure. The Packers get away with a lot of stuff and then complain at every little bump or tug by defenders. My point is that this was so obvious that the ref had almost no other choice but to throw the flag.

And if you really want to get technical, you could say the ball was uncatchable. Godwin was nowhere close to catching that ball, with or without the contact, and that's supposed to be considered when it comes to pass interference.

It is difficult to get to a designated spot when a defender is anchoring the receiver down for ten yards crossing the field. It was DPI, but the refs could have called defensive holding instead. They actually should have called both.

The NFL and MLB major cheating scandals all the way up the Finals

I don't see how sign stealing is that big of a scandal.

MLB has a serious problem with pitchers using illegal substances. Just google MLB, illegal substances, and ball spin to get the lowdown.

As far as the NFL goes, you know better than anyone here that certain officiating crews meant a higher potential for a Vikings loss before a single snap, and can anyone really make the claim that the officials couldn't see what was going on in real time during the bountygate game.

You may be right, but even one of the announcers suggested they could have declined it (I think it was Troy). Of course, it took him a while...

Thanks Funkytown. I'm absolutely delighted that the Packers got beat. But, Arians has tried my patience in the past and for such a highly respected coach, he sure does suck at times. Imagine how we would feel if the Packers got the ball back and Rogers was given some silly hail mary pass interference that led to a go ahead score? Yikes!! Even Tampa fans deserve better than that.
