Great throw/catch. Huge play for the game.

Didn't want to be punting from your end zone there.

Good hold by the packers there but Brady is getting loads of time and even at 43 his arm is still good. The packers need to get a score on this upcoming drive and their D needs to start putting pressure on Brady.

Agreed, but just reading your post.... 43! Mad.

BrentMused · 24-01-2021 9:38pm

Didn't look like the Packers got that third down off before the play clock ran out.

Is there a discrepancy between what we see on the screen clock and the stadium?

It happens quite a lot where the screen clock hits zero, the C gets the snap off after time expires but it rarely seems to get called.

santana75 · 24-01-2021 9:40pm

Throw by Rodgers was a thing of beauty

The practice is that the Ref waits until the clock hits zero before looking to see if they snapped the ball. They're effectively allowed to snap on 0. Rodgers has had to deal with this already this year!

TD packers.

Haha Bruce arians stirring the pot.

It's his pliability!

That Arians quote being thrown around so much is exactly why Belichick says nothing to the media.

Masked Man · 24-01-2021 9:46pm

Some catch!

paulie21 · 24-01-2021 9:47pm

What a run by Fournette

santana75 · 24-01-2021 9:47pm

What a run by fournette

Foxtrol · 24-01-2021 9:47pm

That was such a lucky throw, should have been picked. This is shaping up to be a great game.

Mr. Guappa · 24-01-2021 9:47pm

Yikes! The arm on Brady!

Great run by Fournette for the TD.

MileHighGuy · 24-01-2021 9:48pm

Wow, just chuck it up and let him get it.

Deserved it after the bad drop!

TD! Great run. Fantastic game so far.

24-01-2021 9:48pm

Can only see one winner in this. Did they say that packers defence was 9th in the league? That was two laughable plays in a row from them.

Itssoeasy · 24-01-2021 9:49pm

This is shaping up to be a good game.

cosatron · 24-01-2021 9:49pm

Poor from savage there. Should have been a pick. This very stressful watching our defence

Well that old adage, they are DBs for a reason.
I didn't see that as an easy interception though. Amazing catch, but was more likely going to be an incomplete pass.

MileHighGuy · 24-01-2021 9:51pm

Poor field position here...

Itssoeasy · 24-01-2021 9:52pm

That’s a touchback.

Yeah but they are 21st in average yards allowed per play.

Masked Man · 24-01-2021 9:54pm

Looked pretty obvious in real time that it hit the line.

Injuryprone · 24-01-2021 9:54pm

Can someone explain that rule please. Did he not effectively bring it out of the end zone? Or once it lands directly in, is it dead?

If it bounces in end zone before a touch its a touchback

Think it's dead once it hits the endzone.

It was a great catch but if you watch the play again just as savage takes off godwin steps into his back and puts his trajectory off. Not pass interfearance but enough to stop savage making a play

The end zone starts at the outer edge of the white line. That's why a TD is awarded if the tip of the football touches/crosses that outer edge.

Any kickoff that reached the end zone is a touch back....... However I was under the impression that as you can still return a ball that bounces into the end zone.... It is a live ball at that point, I actually don't understand the call either.

Once the ball makes any contact with the goal line it’s a dead ball.

I definitely agree he was in position to make an interception had there been no receiver, but if Goodwin couldn't make the catch you can be sure he'd be breaking the int attempt up.

Freakish catch/leap though!

Silly statement. Packers are at the 9, one td behind, yards top everything is pretty much even

Itssoeasy · 24-01-2021 10:07pm

FG packers 14-10 second quarter.

Kev8360 · 24-01-2021 10:07pm

That was a big stop by the Bucs - Packers will need TDs not FGs the way this game is shaping up

Just read the official rule.... This is the answer!
Nice and simple for a change.

MileHighGuy · 24-01-2021 10:11pm

Big drive here for the game.

Something decent we could be looking at 21-10 halftime.

3 and out or short drive, we looking at a 3/4 point game at halftime and could be either team.

Are you watching the game or a stats list? Watching them trying to tackle Fournette on the TD run was keystone cops job.

A nice and simple rule is like hens teeth’s. you only need to break the goal line for a TD yet to bring the ball out of the end zone you need to get the whole ball over the line.

D9Male · 24-01-2021 10:12pm

Yes, big drive alright. Offences on top.

Edit nice 3rd down catch by Godwin.

Easy third down conversions for Brady all night.

how's number 51 for GB allowed to play with a whole hand covered in a cast or club as the comms were calling it?

what's his injury?

Isn't that consistent though?

American football must be the only sport you can watch for 35 years and still not know all the rules!

Probably a broken hand/thumb. It does look strange but I've seen it often enough in the NFL.

A huge disadvantage for any defensive player to be playing one-handed like that though.

Because that’s allowed. The club or cast is checked prior to the game to make sure there’s nothing that shouldn’t be in there. It wasn’t beyond teams to put metal in there in the past. Broken hand or something like that.

MileHighGuy · 24-01-2021 10:17pm

Buccs in a tough spot here. Didn't want to use their timeout before the 2mw.

If they make a stop on 2nd to leave third and long you better believe they'll be taking a timeout.

I wouldn’t say consistent but when you think about it it kind of makes sense. I’ve been watching it for 21 years and I’m the same on some rules.

Hes a decent target if you want to chance something to gain yardage on 3rd down but not risk an interception

Kev8360 · 24-01-2021 10:20pm

should have been called a false start on that 3rd down I though on the LT

LuckyGent88 · 24-01-2021 10:21pm

Terrible time management here?? Could have been quicker with snaps or take some time out

MileHighGuy · 24-01-2021 10:22pm

Thought that was weird clock management by both teams.

And why are the buccs taking a timeout here...? It can't help them.

el Fenomeno · 24-01-2021 10:22pm

Some of the sideline stories are cringe of the highest order.

Tom Rinaldi's grounbreaking story of how Za'Darius Smith saw the greatest ever example of leadership when Rodgers told the team after the Rams game that there was 12 quarters to achieve their goals - 4 of them just done, 4 next week to get the Super Bowl and then the Super Bowl itself.

I, for one, am in awe of Rodger's grasp of senior infants-level basic maths and would run through a brick wall for him.
