Getting only 6 points with back to back 1st and goals hurt a lot. But the Packers have been stuffed at the goal line a few time this season and I 'm sure it would have been more devastating to not get any points at all with that field position.

Really have to wonder why Burnett went to the ground right away. It looked like he had plenty of daylight in front of him

I agree with this. If anything better field position

I think they declined it to make it second down and forever instead of first and forever and then some. Gambling on the odds?

I thought that when a foul happens after a play, the down counts and you tack on the 15. Perhaps the interpretation on that play was that Sweezy's penalty occurred during the play even though Matthews already had Wilson down when Sweezy hit him.

That should have been tacked on. Wilson was being slung like a rag doll. I can't imagine the officials not blowing the whistle. It should have been 2nd and 46.

That's what I thought would happen, too. I was very confused when I heard that the penalty was declined.

Hats off to Crosby for setting an NFC title game record 5 field goals.

That's why the Packers lost. Instead of winning 42-28 they lost 22-28.
