Very smart move by the Packer players/coaches, despite making us fans nervous that they actually were hurt hurt.  I think Z has done that quiet a few times this season.Also to note is something that I have questioned for years, a bit of a loophole in the "clock rules".  The Packers took advantage of the fact that the game clock keeps rolling with 5 or more minutes left, even after an offensive penalty occurs and the offense gets 25 more seconds to run their play and thus 25 more seconds to run off the game clock.  I think that they did that twice in row (delay of game and illegal procedure) while lining up to punt with just under 6 minutes left in the game.  One other NFL team did that in the playoffs as well, I just can't remember who it was.  In that game I think the offense took 3 penalties and the broadcasters were talking about the refs could eventually impose an unsportsmanlike penalty on them.I realize they want to speed up games, but I never understood how you reward a team by running time off the game clock when they intentionally take a penalty to do so.</blockquote>
