2018 Playoffs

for all those that said the packers team wasn't bad because any team that lost their star QB would be as bad as we were, the eagles are going to the NFC chanpionship game after losing their QB who was probably going to win the MVP before his injury

with better players and coaching you CAN withstand an injury to your QB

There is something to be said for having a backup QB who has played before.

There is something to be said for having a backup QB who has played before.

And the Eagles defense. That's the dumb part of this "Backup X" has been successful discussion. The Vikings are also playing a journeyman backup but they have a top 3 defense. Blake Bortles has a lot of QB Winz this year too but I'm not ready to say he's a successful QB.

Foles has started a few seasons' worth of games and he did enough to not lose. That's usually what it takes on a team that does not have to worry about the defense's inability to get off of the fiel.d

The recent Packers have relied on their offense to win games. That's not an ideal scenario for any journeyman to step into.
