I also understand the odds and understand no one comes out on top in this sh*t but that is why we (most) are compulsive gamblers. Sorry if you cannot relate to what I am talking about here but I have been doing this for a long time now, and I still come back to it time and time again even when I got other things more important to waste my time on. Just the way it is.
Today's game was an example of how compulsive gamblers will come back again tomorrow, the next day or next week. Win draw or lose, that final few minutes stirred all the senses like nothing else can.

What you are saying is so true but we must realize that these are athletes that did not get into this league by exercising common sense and logical analysis for EVERY play. In fact, they are so emotionally revved up for every play that they just act on instincts. The instinct on this play was just to tackle Rodgers as he would normally do any and EVERY time he closes in on a QB. Cannot blame him in this case and he was just trying to end the game.

BTW Michael Irvin has made bad decisions on the field and off the field in case anyone has forgotten.

You nailed it on the head. I and most others here feel the same as you.

Honestly, every single QB in the league would get that call at any stadium home or away.  As you said, the defender was an idiot for even reaching that high on Rodgers as he was contained and a tackle was imminent.
