For Rodgers: Deja Vu last play before the half (Bucs/Pack)

Leg of Theismann : 1/25/2021 12:35 am
Lambeau field: Giants up 13-10, 0:06 left in the half, from the 37 yard line. Manning lobs up a Hail Mary, Nicks comes down with it to make it 20-10 going into the half. Was a back breaker for GB who held the #1 seed and failed to come back against the Giants that day.

Lanbeau field: Bucs up 14-10, 0:08 left in the half, from the 39 yard line. Brady takes a deep shot and hits his man to make it 21-10 going into the half. Again, a back breaker for the #1 seed Packers, and in this case it ended up being the difference in the game.

Of course the Eli Nicks Hail Mary was WAY more impressive. I have no fucking clue how the Packers let that dude get wide open over the top. Inexcusable. King had an absolutely ATROCIOUS game. He got beat on that play AND the Evans TD. Also called for a blatant PI penalty to end the game. That dude is going to be like the Kyle Williams of this NFCCG (I know that was a different team— but I’m just saying the poor guy is probably going to get a few death threats this week :/ )

Anyway, just thought the similarities were striking. In both instances it made a huge difference going into the half in terms of momentum (and huge difference between a 4 point game and 11 point game). Rodgers has not been the most clutch dude late in the playoffs over his career, but having both of those plays happen on your home field when you’re the #1 seed certainly puts a dent in your probability of winning a 2nd SB 😬
One thing I will say:

Both plays may be karma coming back to bite the packers for the (I think it’s 3?) Hail Mary TDs that Rodgers has had, including against the Giants. I always hear Rodgers is the “king of Hail Marys” and it always makes me think of the Eli-Nicks play and how we’ll alway have that on the Packers at least. I know the Brady play wasn’t so much a Hail Mary but it was still an incredibly improbably play given the circumstances.
Improbable*

king was awful

That play before half was inexcusable. GB is lucky Brady threw several passes too high today or it could have been worse.

Brady also suffered many drops early.

Wss just as inexcusable that the Giants defense left a guy open in the back of the end zone on that exact ssame Hail Mary play at the end of the first half in the 2016 playoff game in GB. Instead of going into halftime down 7-6, it was 14-6 and the Pack had the momentum from there
i immediately thought about that Nicks play  
ryanmkeane : 1/25/2021 9:34 am : link
and it was basically the same score too. Even though the game wasn't "over" it was effectively over after Nicks caught that hail mary, and same with Miller yesterday.
Good catch Legs

Like you, I was in disbelief on yesterday’s TD. Right at that moment, I knew we would be seeing Brady in the SB again. Still can’t believe the Pack didn’t play as well as expected.

Brady played ok...With 3 INT's he has to be happy with his defence...Thay won the game for Brady...They held off AR big time at the end of the game...

drops are the QBs fault. At least when it applies to Jones :-)
That Defensive call yesterday by the Packers  
montanagiant : 1/25/2021 12:16 pm : link
A single high safety and man to man with 6 secs left to play and the only chance for a score is a pass into the EZ was absolutely moronic. Seriously what was the DC thinking? You play that situation with a 3 man rush, 3 deep zone scheme all day long. It literally was the worse call he could have made in that spot.
