    Yep, pass just like a punt. Might as well give it a shot. I am sure that was the last word from Peyton on the sideline.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      One final word on the weekend games, specifically Jacksonville-Buffalo. I made comments during the season that starting caliber QBs cannot be long sequestered as back-ups because the league doesn't have 32 starting caliber QBs. Buffalo and Jacksonville prove this point. Holy hell, Bortles and James was picked #3 overall IIRC, and that guy is a train wreck at QB. And Tie-rod Taylor is even worse, if that can be conceived of. And these are playoff teams. Man alive, the QBing in the league is awful. And just so you know, I'm not excuse-making here. Packers leadership still gets a severe downgrade for not knowing how awful Hundley would be as a backup and for allowing the level of play to collapse due to a Rodgers injury. Perhaps if it hadn't already happened once (2013) it would be somewhat forgivable, but they all had to have known what would happen, and they didn't have a proper plan to deal with it.

      Still, you can at least give them some leeway because the NFL QB talent overall is pretty dismal.
      It just shows even more how important a solid defense and running game are.

        Questionable to be sure. But Brees picking up 2(3?) yards to seal the game is not the worst bet you can make. The db let 'em off the hook a little by catching the pass.

          that's one way to win.

            Kinda a partial solution though. For instance, this week seems like a plan to lose to NE.

              NE always does seem to draw the weaker one-dimensional opponents to pick off early in the playoffs. It's almost magical.

                Captain Comeback has a list of the QBs they have faced in the Divisional Round and its most amusing.
