Yes, not much has been said about the fact that the Lions only scored 3 pts in the second half.
True!
A lot of times, referees, across the sport just "let them play", especially later in the game. They don't want to enter into deciding a game with some big call. The next play, the Lions kicked shanked it, the Lions should have gone for it on 4th and 1, they were possibly a bit stunned. Something that would happen to a lot of teams. They put in a good effort and should learn.
Dallas has a better chance imo of defeating GB in GB than the Lions would of had in GB.
But this is admittedly, just talk and that’s why they play the game.
Patriots stomped the Packers this year, I’d have to look the game up, maybe Rodgers didn’t play but NE whipped them.
Packers defeated New England, sorry for the dumb remark, the Saints beat the Packers 44-23.

Kind of shows, GB is very good.
Green Bay is good, so were the Lions really. The Cowboys have a very suspect defense, seems like they have 3rd or 4th downs off sometimes. It’s going to be tough for them to get past the Green Bay Packers.
I listened to the interview you linked with the former ref.
That former ref said the flag should have stood, but what bothered him more was Dez coming onto the field to argue without being flagged.
Asked why the officials didn’t flag him, the former ref said he thought they may have felt intimidated and that the game might have been too big for them. Sheeesh. These are the so-called “All Star Refs”.

I am working on some stuff for you & Aaron Boy AND I shutter to think just what you come up with for me and my Boys.
Ice Bowl Duex, my shinny metal ass! This is a... 
is HOT war!
I’ll get the new thread up and running soon.
Is Dallas wearing the ‘Darks’ this weekend?
If the refs called the Dallas Philly game correctly on Thanksgiving, Dallas might have had the weekend off.
Dallas - Green Bay Playoff History
January 1, 1967 - The Cotton Bowl - Green Bay 34 Dallas 27
December 31, 1967 - Lambeau Filed - Green Bay 21 Dallas 17
January 16, 1983 - Texas Stadium - Dallas 37 Green Bay 26
January 16, 1994 - Texas Stadium - Dallas 27 Green Bay 17
January 8, 1995 - Texas Stadium - Dallas 35 Green Bay 9
January 14, 1996 - Texas Stadium - Dallas 38 Green Bay 27
One thing you can say about all those games is the best team won. This time around I think they are pretty well matched.
Last 8 playoff games at home (all since realignment), Green Bay is 3-5
