One and done? Superb Owl Champs? Somewhere In Between?

Unless Rodgers can significantly improve his accuracy, they'll be one-and-done.

I can understand people feeling that way, but I'm not so sure. Reason is, Rodgers' accuracy is not a major reason this team won 13 games. They won 13 games because of turnover differential and red zone efficiency. If they falter in one of those areas, they may be one and done.

Yeah, we're one and done.
We're gonna draw NO in the 2nd rd... NO is a very good, very experienced team.
Lefleur made some stupid mistakes in the Lions game, so he has some learning to do; Rodgers is a shell of his former self physically, and who knows what the fuck he's looking at while in the pocket; the defense is much improved, but very Jekyl and Hyde...
Brees and co will roll us pretty easily I think.

I'm gonna withhold my vote for now. I'm reasonably sure we win in the division round, but I can't bring myself to predict either losing or winning against the Niners - ditto that against the Ravens if in fact when we play either of them.
I say again, New Orleans is overrated. I'd be more confident against them than the Vikings a third time.

Keep in mind Brees and Sean Payton are 7-1 in the dome in the playoffs, 1-5 elsewhere. They're just not the same in the cold.

Agreed! It’s in Rodgers hands.

The offense has been just- missing opportunities for weeks now. I'm as pissed as anyone in the number of shot plays Rodgers took Sunday but if they can hit on 2/3 of those per game I still think they can beat any of the NFC teams. Brees and the Saints are gonna look a lot different in 20 degree weather.

With New Orleans I always expect 8-0 at home, 4-4 on the road. To me, that means they're beatable in the cold. I voted but if I could retract it, I would. I think they win the first game. We'll see how everyone looks this the next two weeks and go from there.

First game gets everyone’s hopes up. Second game leaves us all crushed after they get oh so close.

It’s the embarrassing dismantling game like the San Fran 9ers one that scares the bejayzuz out of me. I think I could stomach a close loss much-much easier.

Who are you referring to as GOAT? I could see Brady retiring, not the real GOAT.

If this team were led by a vintage Rodgers, they'd go toe-to-toe with anybody, and beat most of 'em - the defense is the best that Green Bay has had since that 2013 or 14 year - when they lost to Seattle in the NFC Championship game. The special teams is solid now, with Crosby and Scott bouncing back and Ervin on returns solidifying that part.
They have the defense. They have the special teams. They have a rising star in Aaron Jones. The offensive line, I don't care what Tex says, is solid. They have an All-Pro receiver in Davante Adams.
But their tight end corps is weak, as is the receiving corps not named Adams or Lazard.
But the biggest problem will be Rodgers's accuracy. Green Bay cannot beat a playoff-caliber team if Rodgers can't get his accuracy back for the playoffs. Teams with quarterbacks like Brees and Wilson will overwhelm the Packers if Rodgers can't play better than he has lately. The defense can only hold up for so long against guys like those two.

Til the Great Arm of Butte wins 5 more rings, history and country music say Brady's the GOAT.

I finally decided to vote. I didn't want you to be lonesome on that 3rd choice level, Joe.
Honestly, I can't really make a good guess. We could go all the way, or we could lose bad in the first game or anything in between. This team has been up early in the season, pretty mediocre for a long period in the middle, then outstanding for a game or two, then back to crap the last game. How will they be in the playoffs? Anybody's guess.

During the game today, my son says Carroll looks "dodgy" and "reminds me of Chancellor Palpatine".
