    You too? Marky as well!!! I have always had a soft spot for Pittsburgh after being there for a day once. (flight stopover) I always seen it as a good blue collar town with nothing much else to shout about, so from that time onwards i leaned towards them in sport. Nothing major, but a definite soft spot....also based on watching The Deer Hunter and having some empathy for the blue collar workers in that area.

    Whatyagonnado! :giggle1:

    I hate the Penguins, that inevitably bleeds over to the other teams in the city.

    Helped how?
    Dallas lost the game in the first half by giving away stupid penalties. Should have had a few more clear pass interference calls that were just ignored also.

    Well the bullshit substitution penalty on the Cowboys receiver (which I've never seen called before) in the first half killed their momentum and lost them some points. Not only was an extremely ticky tacky call, but he didn't even do what they penalised him for, he was never in the huddle. Then there was the Rodgers INT that got brought back despite the ball being uncatchable

    I've never seen that call before either but it is clearly a rule and a professional football team should be aware of it.
    Hard to tell if the ball was uncatchable when there was pass interference so early in the play.
    Two clear pass interferences that should have been called before that one too, so the packers deserve the benefit of the doubt on that one.

    Unfortunately cant see the currant packers defence doing enough to stop Atlanta racking up 45+ points so will probably bow out next week.

    As long as the Patriots don't win, that's all I'm fussed about now

    Just seen it mentioned elsewhere, the decision by Dallas to spike the ball on the final drive. Never thought much of it at the time, however it left just that bit more time on the clock.

    Although, what happened after it with the Dallas defence and then Rodgers ability. Made it a great watch for the neutral.

    Must make you feel sick choosing between Pittsburgh and New England!

    I do like you're not on the Rodgers express though.

    Choosing between Pittsburgh and anybody is a no brainer. I stuck £50 on the Steelers on Sunday night just to get some satisfaction out of it.

    He was unreal wasn't he. That will be quite the QB match up Rodgers v Matt Ryan in the NFC title game. I am with you though in getting on the Rodgers bandwagon. Hope he wins. Who knows maybe in a few years time we will be talking about Derek Carr in the same way Aaron Rodgers is rightly lauded as an elite QB.

    Count me in too. What he does is fantastic. In fact I wouldn't mind the Falcons either. Anybody but the PAts and the Steelers now.

    Still, Rodgers is a very bad bad man and can't wait to see the clash vs Atlanta.

    Aaron Rodgers is not the GOAT. Don't be ridiculous
