Strange Season, Weird JuJu

[Rutnstrut]

I agree with you on the defense, but Favre played terribly.

That was the game that McCarthy was caught saying that if his name wasn't Brett Favre he would have benched him at halftime....made a career out of being a warrior but was scared of the cold that day.

If he still thought that way, he would have benched Rodgers a few times this season or at least strongly considered it. Who knows, maybe he has?

Come on, take off your Favre kool-aid glasses.

Other than the 90 yard TD pass BF was 18/34 146 Yards 1 TD and 2 Ints. He played like shit that game. He didn't want to be out in the extreme cold.

And the defense also didn't play well. But you don't have to make shit up.

In fact using your same logic, the D played well enough to win the game if BF didn't turn over the ball in OT.

Had the Giants D played as shitty as the Packers did and let one slow, injured receiver beat them. You would be talking about how great Favre played. It far from a pretty game by Favre, but it was enough to win. Had the D not had a classic GB big game defensive meltdown.

No, I wouldn't. Favre played like shit that day. It may have been enough to win but the D played well enough to win also.

Just looking at the game stats from the GB - NYG playoff game.

NYG 40:01 time of possession, GB 22:34 time of possession
NYG 24 1st Downs, GB 13 1st Downs
NYG 6 for 16 on 3rd down, GB 1 for 10 on 3rd down

All those things were true last year as well, and they finished #1 in scoring, set a franchise record for first down, etc. Except for the loss of Nelson, the personnel on that side of the ball has not changed at all. However, the coaching structure on offense changed dramatically.

It could be that we just happened to see Rodgers, Nelson, Cobb and Lacy all have their career years at the same time in 2014.

I think the injuries all across the offense are a much bigger factor

I think he needs to run more. He might force teams to play more zone on the back end if he catches them running downfield with their backs to him by running the ball.

He will run more in the playoffs. He's been more cautious about running this year, probably because he's been injured going into the last couple of postseasons.

Run, Forest, run!

Merry Christmas, Rats!!

Losing to the Bears makes it a tough season for a lot of fans. Losing at Lambeau once is bad, twice is unspeakable. The impact of combining those in the same season might not be cleansed even with a Super Bowl win by this team. For some, it will simply be a fluke if they do.

The offense never seemed to wake up in that contest and the ahhww ...yauuning attitude of Aaron Rodgers lent to 'the choke'. I want to see more of a sense of EMERGENCY...or something FR. Rod like this: :

Let`s get this damn game into the `W column. I want to se a tougher Aaron Rodgers.

It was like the Packers didn't care enough to win that historical game. No way should the PACKERS lose that game. I felt terribly...cheated

I always get to believing my team will pull it out and this choke loss was like a punch in the guts. I was at Hooters Sports Bar in Greenfield Park, Quebec and had enjoted Bret Favreès N!
I hated the way Aaron Rodgers did his attitude thingy (that I do see). I want Aaron Rodgers to dop the Cool and Luke act and wake up and fight harder. Be more a part of the team and not the exalted leader.

Anyway we will NOT ever see Aaron Rodgers and wining the Super Bowl again under the present administration that's cursed . The Packers have CHOKE written in invisible ink on the back of their jerseys.

What are they now. Ranked in the '6 slot' for the Power Ranking. I rank KC above them. In the AFC the Bengals, Steelers, and KC Chiefs all shine brighter than Green Bay.

In the NFC...I rank Seattle as the NO. 1 Team. Wilson is simply playing as outstanding as any QB I've ever seen. He's been over the top great and the Seahawks are back . Three solid teams in the NFC all with QB's playing @ an MVP level. Carolina. Arizona and Seattle.

The thing is and me the long time Packer fan. I won`t get down hearted and the Packers. I very seldom pick against them. I hate to do so and not share proudly in any VICTORY.


GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !

I was at the NFCC and remember most of it fairly well. It was beyond cold - my beer would freeze by the time I got back to my seat so we had to slam them. It wasn't fun to be there. Beyond yelling - was hard to make noise. I was amazed that people were out there playing.

Recall - the Giants kicker, tynes - missed two late field goals and the pack let up big plays and huge penalties. They beat us well and the score was closer than reality.

Favre didn't play well but I don't blame him.
