C) ) The Packers getting burned for a 49-yard TD pass when the Buccaneers had no timeouts and only 8 seconds left to play in the 1st half was inexcusable ...... it was on par with the 2012 Denver Broncos coughing up the game-tying, 70-yard TD pass when the Ravens had no timeouts and only 30 seconds left to play in the 4th quarter of that season's divisional playoff game. That gaffe cost Peyton Manning a chance to beat Brady in yet another conference championship game (Manning's teams were 3-1 in such games against Brady's teams when Manning retired), and what very well may have been a 3rd Super Bowl ring (in addition to the one that he won 6 years earlier, and the 2nd one that he won 3 years later.)

Why the refs are so biased to that cheating shithead is beyond me.

And the Packer's secondary allowing the WR to get by on the TD at the end of the half is one of the worst defensive plays in NFL history. Whoever blew that coverage should have been sent packing at halftime.

The only way that they would have gotten a field goal there is with an incomplete pass, and then the kicker makes a 66-yarder ...... IF the defense had been playing what anybody who is not acting like they live on Mars had had them playing.

The Buccaneers had no timeouts, and there were only 8 seconds left to play in the half. The Packers should have had 9 defensive backs on the field, and they literally should have positioned 6 of them on the sidelines, 5 yards apart from the line of scrimmage at the 44 yardline, the 39 yardline, and the 34 yardline ........ that would have prevented a quick, sideline pass which (if successful) would have given the Buccaneers a chance for a closer field goal attempt. The remaining 3 defensive backs should have been positioned in the middle of the field at the 5 yardline. They could have given Brady and the Buccaneers ANYTHING THAT THEY WANTED in the middle of the field, because they had 0 timeouts and there were only 8 seconds left to play. That means that they would have had no chance to spike the ball after being tackled in-bounds. It would not have mattered if Brady had hit a receiver 10 yards downfield, 20 yards downfield, or even 30 yards downfield, because in all 3 of those situations the receiver would have been tackled in-bounds to end the half.
