Wow. What a game! I know Iacas will sleep a little better tonight, too

Big Ben had 503 yards... but that was over shadowed by the fact that he thew yet another game winning TD pass as time expired. It looked a lot like last years final TD of the Super Bowl, only on the other side of the field.

The Packers played really poorly. The defense played great, but Rodgers had an off game and the running game just wasnt there.
Kudos to the Packers for winning, but youd be fooling yourself to think that the Steelers are back on track.

I was at a hockey game. I looked up the score on my iPhone, and got home in time to rewind the buffer on my DVR to see the Steelers kick a field goal, kick the STUPID onsides kick, get scored on, and then go down the field and win.

Am I in the Twilight Zone here? WI thinks the Packers won, the thread was titled "Packers vs. Bears"... What's going on?!?!

The Steelers still suck this year. I wrote them off four weeks ago. Or was it five? They have, what, a 1-in-1024 chance of making the playoffs or something?

WOW!!!

That was a catch that we all made as kids in the neighborhood games. The stuff legends are made of.

No time left on the clock - falling out of bounds, get the feet in and secure the ball = TOUCHDOWN!!!

AMAZING!

I hope they somehow make the playoffs...

LOL...major typo there on my part. The Pack should have won that game though. Maybe if we had a kicker who didnt have a major case of the yips.

What a difference a year makes. Last year the Steelers don't give up 22 points in the 4th quarter - I don't think they gave up that many points in all 4th quarters combined . Onside kick against the Pack just goes to show they have absolutely zero faith in their defense. At least Mike Wallace can make a clutch catch with a difficulty rating of 10, compared to Yancey Thigpen who gave the Pack a gift in '95.

Don't you say those words to me! They're right up there with a certain side-armer named "Stan."

I wouldn't go that far Steelers shouldn't have blown the lead late in the game. And the no-call on James Harrison being held was so blatant, I couldnt believe they missed it. You're right though, Crosby needs to go. He's getting into the Nick Folk zone now. Still, great game yesterday, though neither defense really were as impressive as they should have been.

I hope people realize you're joking.

C'mon, you only lose reputation points if you say the name of some slow-footed first-basemen who used to play for the Pirates before playing for the Braves. Rhymes with "Kid Cream".

I can still hear Fulton County Stadium, and the deafening Sid chants. Of course back then, I didn't call him Sid. I called him Luigi

And yeah, he was definitely the man. I loved that whole crew the Braves had back then...

Hey WI,

Can you explain to me you the Pack D played great while letting Big Ben throw for over 500 yds? Sounds like the Pats commentators up here in Boston.

UMMMM... I think this comment is completely bass ackwards. The defense played like crap. They are the 2nd ranked total defense in the league and gave up 500+yards passing and 37 points.

Aaron Rodgers had 383 yards, 3TD's and no picks... off day? I think not.

Hey WI,

The defense chased Big Ben around the field. Clay Matthews especially had Ben running for his life all game long.

UMMMM... I think this comment is completely bass ackwards. The defense played like crap. They are the 2nd ranked total defense in the league and gave up 500+yards passing and 37 points.

Refer to the above statement. The defense made plays, just not enough plays to win the game.

Those stats you are quoting for Rodgers are mostly from the 2nd half of the game. The Packers couldnt move the ball worth a darn in the first half. Again, the Packers should have won that game. If Crosby didnt have a case of the shanks, if the recievers and the defense didnt have a case of the dropsies and if they had been able to get the running game going the Pack would have blown the Steelers out. Thats a lot of "ifs" though and its not what happened, so it doesnt matter though.

Thanks much, I needed a good laugh. Re-read your post and try to be objective. I'm sure you would find it just a smidge amusing. That paragraph almost had as many "ifs" as the Redskins would have needed to make the 1940 NFL Championship a game.

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
