Indeed. As I very wrongly predicted in the pick-em thread, I thought Manning had one more playoff year in him before that shifted to the younger guys. There's little doubt in my mind that occurred yesterday instead. That's not even to say Manning doesn't play next year and make it to the playoffs, but the mojo is gone from there.

I did hear reports he had a torn quad but idk how true that is.

Ditto.

... I honestly believe last year was the last time we'll see Manning win another playoff game.

I think we saw the passing of the torch in Denver yesterday. Knew it was coming, it was just a matter of when.

I did not question that at all. What was missed all game long was the holding by the Packers O line even to the point one time of a good old fashioned rodeo "bulldogging" of one of the D linemen about to get to Rogers. And the phantom "catch" by the Packers WR when the nose of the ball clearly hit the ground. Even the guest referee said it was not a completion, but some blind bat in NY said it was. It was a very poorly called game, particularly by the ref who is supposed to watch holding. It just got worse and worse as the game went on because he would not call any of it.

The GB catch was the application of the same rule that overturned the Bryant "catch". The nose touched the ground already being in control and control was maintained.

The fact that different Ref's can see the same play differently is the reason that the "blind bats" at NFL central are now a part of the process.

As for line play I can only surmise that the 'Boys O-line got away with nothing the entire game.

Rodgers is an elite qb. Throws the ball with such accuracy. Calm in the pocket. Sees the entire field just like manziel!!!

On one leg no less... just like Johnny Hamziel!

This has to be a trick question...

He's a local Cleveland guy and was just a couple years behind me in school.....I grew up in Cleveland Hts and then went to Gilmore for HS. While he attended St Anns, at the corner of my street and then went on to play at University School, which was our #1 rival. Personally, I find it hard to get with anyone from US, but thats just a Gilmore thing

"But let me make it really clear: This game wasn't about the officiating. We had 60 minutes. We had an opportunity to come up here and win a football game, and at the end of the day we didn't get that job done. That play was big in the game, but there were other plays in the game and unfortunately we didn't do the things necessary to win the ballgame."

I'm either rooting for Brady to get another ring.

Or I am rooting for Cribbs to get his first.

I don't give a shit about Cribbs but I'll root for d'qwell

Not a fan just like to see the game called correctly regardless of who plays.

Dude Bryant did not complete the catch. End of story.

Or I am rooting for Cribbs to get his first.

Not one of multiple holdings by the GB Oline was called while 2 roughings of Romo were not called. Make up game for NFL refs. Plus the

"competed" call of the nose to the ground ball to GB's receiver. They wanted GB to advance today.

Did you not see last week's game? I have no sympathy for cowboys fans crying about no calls

sadly its probably one or two knockouts too late for him.
