it's basically a 1 in 7 shot of completing 2 2 point conversions.

 

It should be a lot lower of a chance than that.

Actually, it's a bit over 1/6, given the possibly bad stats (40% chance of one succeeding) I saw

 

Yes but I'm assuming that 1/6 is for a simple 1 time try. Getting a 2-pt conversion two times in a row multiplys the chances to a much less likely ratio. I don't remember the exact formula but it is not simply the percentage of all the 2-pt tries added up. There is some sort of formula that multiples it for when it has to happen twice in a row.

Donald Lee is absolutely terrible.

 

Goat of the game, for sure. We'd be fine if he didn't drop that TD pass.

 

Hell, if we just took 3 that drive we'd have life.

That drop was a killer. Now that Crosby made the field goal the game would have been tied had Lee just hung on to the ball.

an individual try has a 40% chance of succeeding. .4 squared is .16. .16*6=.96, so it's a little more than 1/6

Nope I still refuse to believe you [-(

this sideline reporter needs to give it a rest. He's not going to give you the sound bite you're fishing for

 

The last couple questions were pretty funny. That was mainly due to Favre's sarcasm on the "be remembered for something."

Was not expecting to win this game but losing to Minnesota sucks.

 

I wasn't either.

 

We'd be 4-0 if we had an average offensive line. Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 20 times this year. TWENTY.

I agree with this, that is a ridiculous amount of pressure for any QB to have to overcome. Aaron Rodgers, as well as he has played, could have been even better.

their o-line sucks but sometimes he really just needs to throw the ball. when he got safetied in the end zone the blocking wasn't too bad; he held the ball far too long. you can't have third and long from your own one yard line and expect to scramble around for 5 seconds. there was another one of those plays tonight too, i think it was on first down somewhere around the minnesota 35, he had good protection but held the ball way too long and got sacked.

That said, there's been quite a few times this year where he's scrambled out of sacks and has made some good plays on his feet. I do agree with you though, he needs to learn how to throw the ball away.

Yeah, that's a flag. My ass hurts.

 

lol, and another penalty on us. Why the [expletive] not? Seriously NFL, just give the damn ring to the Vikes if it's going to be this obvious.

 

Yeah and ignore that there was also an offsides on the Packers and the PI didn't matter.
