I don't understand the call on Treadwell. The guy he blocked had an angle. How was that behind the play?

Unbelievable - oh, they only need a few more yards to get in field goal range. Except that it's 4th down! And I thought he was little smarter than that.

Agree. It was 4th down Aikman. Why would the Vikings want time on the clock?

Zimmer needs to calm his team down and get back to playing strong, disciplined football.

Treadwell was coming back toward the play, that is what they call a crack back block, plus he hit him high in the shoulder/helmet area and you can't do that either. So it was a correct call. If he would have just stood there and walled him off, then it would have been ok.

I don't like them calling that a blindside block. He hit him in the chest. Just because his head isn't turned shouldn't mean it's blindside. That part is on the defender.

Whether you like or not doesn't matter, it's in the rules.

What an incredibly dumb timeout and apparently the packers coaches are even dumber
