So down 8 with 2 minutes and change

kicking the FG means you still have to stop them 

going for the TD and failing means you still have to stop them

Scoring the TD means you still have to stop them

Yes.  There was ZERO logic there for him to kick the FG unless you truly believe the defense was going to make the play.

totally agree.   the scenario was the same either way.   Would have needed to stop them with FG, getting the TD or missing the TD.  nothing changed except not getting a chance to tie the game.

Don't blame the refs, we aren't Lions fans.  

Refs didn't cost us the game, but the reffing was atrocious.  In order of who cost us the game, it was King (#1), Pettine (#2), stupid mistakes (#3), and then way far in the distance reffing (#4).

Aaron Nagler -   Ultimately, it's beyond frustrating, but don't put yourself in that position. Don't fumble. Don't throw interceptions. Don't give up absurd end-of-half-TDs. Packers did this to themselves.

I mean that's our staple lol. Unprepared team year after year in these games. LaFleur was terrible today.

LaFleur kicking that FG will go down as one of the more boneheaded coaching decisions of all time 

No, was a good call, we were not going to score on 2 cosecutive plays.... if we’re down 6 or 7 yeah,  plus we wouldn’t have had the 2 min clock stop on D.. it was the right call IMO.

So losing, what, 4 in a row now in NFCCG, away and home?  There's a legacy. 

Sadly, yep. Rodgers finally got that home NFCCG and still couldn't win it.Part of me feels like this was his swan song too. Don't see GB getting back to this point again with him. Schedule next year is brutal + they're likely losing some studs in Aaron Jones and Linsley to FA. Probably losing a handful of guys to cuts as well like Preston, Kirksey, maybe Wagner, Lowry, etc

Andy Herman  -   Let the conversations commence as to where this heartbreaking loss ranks with the rest over the last 3 decades. Sadly, not even sure it's top 5. And that's saying something.

This is worse than 2014 and it isn’t even close to me.  This is most devastated I’ve felt after a loss in 20 years.

Even if you don't come away with points, you've got them pinned inside the 10 with all 3 of your TOs.  If you think your defense is going to get a stop, the logic should stay the same no matter the situation.  LaFleur took the ball out of Rodgers' hands.  Period.

That TD to Miller to end the half never should have happened.

Redmond had the INT go right off his hands. Uncontested. Nobody around. He just muffed it.

Next play (?) TD TB.

Cant happen. Doesnt happen to Champions.

Now - can we FINALLY put the weather chatter to sleep. Minus snow or sub-freezing temps - the weather had no effect on this game whatsoever.

Defense stunk and gave up 31 points and allowed the Bucs to go 10/15 on 3rd/4th down. That said, yes, the offense also blew it when the defense gave them 2 straight opportunities to retake the lead

All in all, it was a team effort in blowing this. Defense wasn't good as usual and Rodgers and the #1 offense came up small in big situations

GB was 8/14 on 3rd down

won the TO +1 ---- HUGE difference was the points off them.    14 for TB, 6 for GB (went for 2 and missed)
