LaFleur's offense and Love's execution - Studs for tearing up the best Defense in the league.
The O Line, especially the interior, for opening holes for Jones to gash the D and giving Love just enough time to do his thing.
Joe Barry for fooling the Cowboys (and most of us in here) by playing a two deep shell instead of his usual thing of pressure that almost but not quite gets to the QB. Most of the D players stepped up to Stud status, making the D work, including several who usually get a lot of criticism (Savage, Quay, Nixon, V and B allentine, and Jaire) The whole rotation of both the D Line and Edge rushers played like Studs most of the time anyway. I include Gary in that even though he didn't get as much pressure himself as usual. The attention he got opened it up for others. Unlike some in here said, it was good D, not merely Cowboy badness that made it happen.
The kicker was about the only Dud.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Jordan had some amazing throws today but also a few stinkers that the receivers bailed him out on. How are they always so open and where was this during the Rodgers years? Man I love that Jordan will just sling it to the open guy. That aspect aside, man does he ever look like Rodgers out there. The quick flick of the wrist, the football, etc. It is eery but I guess not unexpected.
The D seemed to consistently get _a lot_ of pressure against the best OL in the league. Did they finally realize the DL is loaded with first round picks and to get after it?
Winner - Matt “Pepe” LaFleur got the girl today for sure. HIS team came ready to rock and roll and pulled off the big upset of the wildcard weekend. He never looked lost and made all the right calls. His finest moment so far.
Great postgame speech too!

Stud on Viagra - He keeps this up and we might have to give him the key to the city.
I know it must have been hard for you today Tex but you did the right thing wishing the cowboys to lose.
That vid is awesome.

Hilarious that even the team is razzing Musgrave on his inability to stay on his feet!
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
A big, big brown dud for Fox’s halftime crew, not asking Jimmy Johnson what he thought about the beatdown-in-progress of his beloved Cowboys after Jimmy’s blustery pretend pre-game speech to the Cowboys.
And an equally stenchy sour dud to the game announcers, who talked for three quarters about what the Cowboys needed to do, as if it was their job to figure out how to get the Cowboys back in the game. Nary a mention of what that other team - what was their name again? - was up to. Not until the fourth quarter.
Studliness to Romeo Doubs, who just caught every single thing.
Boy, the Cowboys were just off, the whole game. They looked dazed from the get-go. Not ready to play. You gotta put that on their head coach, don’t you? They sleepwalked through the whole thing.
Studliness oozing from the Packer offensive line.

That was my favorite part! The entire sideline must have been like us saying “don’t fall, don’t fall” when he turned to run.
Gary only played 41% of snaps. That was the least of all the edge rushers. Not on the injury list. Not sure what's going on.
Stud: Daniel Whelan. 3 punts inside the 10. One preceded Jaire's INT.

Whelan even got a shout out in the postgame speech. FG kicker has us wincing but punts are great.

Kinda the same as the Packers looked for too many playoff games under McCarthy. It's one thing losing a hard-fought playoff game, but quite another being completely outplayed, never really being in it. As good as he is all season, McCarthy's playoff performances are perplexing.
Gary might be hitting fatigue after pushing so hard to get back on the field. I suspect they are trying to keep him fresh as well.
Losing Enagbare isn't great but they have Brenton Cox and if McDuffie can play they might even try Quay or some other options to rush Purdy.
Stud for GB: first half Dak. 0 passing yards in the first qtr, and 2 Ints including telegraphing a pick six for Savage. Dak is a good QB but he occassionally has stretches where he'll look almost unplayable. 2nd half Dak was better and GB played softer but that was too much of a deficit to overcome with GB's offense rolling.
Jordan Love, Aaron Jones, Doubs, and the OL were studs.
This team must lead the league in personal foul penalties. They get at least one a week.
Make no mistake about it, I 100% wanted the Packers to beat my second favorite team, and I was maybe 75 or 80% sure that they would. Ditto that for the Niners next week. I've been saying all season that the Packers are a loaded team. It took most of the season for that to show up, but now it's happening.
I'm a great believer in luck - luck with injuries, luck with draft picks and UDFAs, players in general developing to be good, etc. And I say only slightly non-seriously, luck constitutes God willing the Packers (and to a lesser extent the Cowboys) to remain near the top of the NFL and occasionally win it all. Deniers and negativists, feel free to come up with a counter-theory for the past 3 decades hahahaha.
And I don't take Stud credit for the win streak either - I just was lucky to be the thread starter at the right time. I do, however, take credit for predicting it when a lot of negativists, anti-homers, and other dumbasses were predicting all kinds of doom and gloom.

Not much worse then an “I toad ya so.”
Perhaps you should consider a victory lap.
At the end of October the Packers were 2-5 and any realist could see we were like the Titanic sinking in the middle of the ocean. If anyone was the blind homer at that point, it was you. Others saw it for was it was, which as a bleak situation.
And do me a favour as a fellow Packer fan for over 40 years now, just spare the blow-hard shit.
Gary was less effective than usual because he got more attention than sometimes. That enabled Van Ness, P. Smith, and the interior D Linemen to put pressure on the QB.
What exactly is Enagbare's injury? As I recall, Brenton Cox looked pretty good in preseason. We got him as a UDFA because of his past character issues. I would be hopeful he could be a decent factor. Otherwise, I doubt they would have kept him around as well as letting Justin Hollins go.
The one and only personal foul I saw called was the horse collar by Quay - which replay showed was a bogus call. I don't honestly think the Packers have had more personal fouls than most teams.
