nah….what I was asking is if his foot doesn’t touch the ground in the end zone, then it shouldn’t be a touchback. IF it did, then yes it is a touchback. I understand the rule.

In other words, if he were to jump from the 1, catch the ball in mid air and throw it back out where it could be downed, that would be a good play, right? The key difference there is that he jumped before the goal line. So, if JB’s foot doesn’t touch the ground in the end zone, then it’s not a touchback. You’d think they’d review that to make sure the call was right, at least.

I think you are a little confused. Like they called it during the game, Bush was inbounds when his knee went down, but its one of those where u have to stay inbounds through the catch, it is in the rules. Also, I do think it was a bad call on Hawk at the end of the game. It did not look like the reciever was touched, imo.

The Offense looked stellar, although the Saints aren’t known for their D. The Rookie Cobb looks like a great sign, and should show up on the highlight reel.
D looked vulnerable but when the game was on the line they made a great goal line stand.

I would like to know why MM was so pissed. I really liked the play call, but clearly something didn’t go right. I personally thought he looked aggravated with the officials.

I still think that it wasn’t pass interference. However, Woodson should have been tossed from the game. That type of behavior cannot be tolerated and in addition to his guaranteed fine from Goodell, I would hope that the Packers set him straight.

It was fucking hilarious seeing hawk try to cover sproles in the first quarter…hawk is slow as shit and sproles is fast as shit. it was sooo entertaining…except for the part where sproles caught the pass and gained like 30 yards…

Great win…Tackling was pathetic, Anyone see Martez Wilson holding Crabtree’s Jersey for over 10 yards on Sproles td reurn?…interesting..Great Cobb return, should return more kicks where was the passing game in the 2nd half?..70yards?….The offensive NEEDS to learn how to keep possesion and eat clock to put games away. O line played better than expected, some nice runs off left side..GO STARKS!!!!

I agree. That was pass interference just as much as Woodson punched that guy in the gut. Not many of us want to admit Woodson should have been tossed out. If you think the Hawk penalty was bullshit then call it a wash.

A good win but that last offensive possession was a major debacle and almost cost us the game. We had a 1st and 10 on the Saints 43 with 2:14 left and one of the hottest kickers in football who also has one of the biggest legs. I don’t know what the hell happened on the 3rd down play that resulted in a no gain pass as MM appeared very pissed, but we played that set of downs with little confidence when we should have been looking to put them away. As dominant as we were all night, it’s a shame it came down to the last play.

The 3rd quarter blues continue but we will get better. Go Pack Go.
