    Worst overtime rule in sports. GB should be getting a shot

    Not related to overtime, but Green Bay had about 15 shots to win this game.

    Take the points, always take the points. Chickenshit.

    Anyone recall a playoff game where a team so thoroughly dominated for 58 minutes came back to win?

    The Packers win the game if Morgan Burnett doesn't curl to the ground with five minutes left. He picks off the ball with a lot of green in front of him and acts like there's less than a minute left and goes to the ground? He had all kinds of green in front of him and curled to the ground.

    I'm not upset about overtime.

    Green Bay failed to recover the onside kick at 19-14.

    They failed to stop a moon shot two-point conversion.

    No, don't fire McCarthy, but non-Packer fans here can maybe understand why we get very. very skittish when his teams are trying to close out games.

    John Fox will fit in perfectly in this division.

    The McCarthy Way -- get a big lead and hold on for dear life (or not).

    Even when they won the Super Bowl, they could have put it away by the end of the third quarter but instead kept it alive until the Steelers' final drive.

    I often say I feel better when McCarthy is down 10 to start the fourth instead of up 10.

    Even in SB run, they barely hung on against Philly, Chicago and Pittsburgh.

    Seriously, 19 points while forcing 5 turnovers is pathetic. That should be at least 27 if not 30 to 35. Should have kept running on that last int may have set up another field goal and probably puts the game out of reach. Pulling down that onside ends the game. Jumping for the ball on the two-point conversion instead of feeling up the receiver allows Green Bay to end it with a field goal. So many chances, so many gacks.

    You know how you put a team away? SCORING TDS INSTEAD OF FGS

    Then McCarthy would have just approved the prevent defense earlier...
