I agree, he has had some pretty average and below games in the post season. My point I guess is having a QB that can get you there every year. Its not like he doesn't have 52 other guys helping him and he is losing those game all by himself. Its the same with Manning. People rag on him and call him over rated because of his post season record but when all is said and done he is still probably one of the top 5 QBs of all time and who wouldn't want one of the top 5 QBs of all time leading their team.

I realize that the main goal every year is to win the super bowl but I still think having one of the best QBs in the league in the playoffs is better than not.

Is it Aaron or is it the playcalling. Playing not to lose like we do doesn't help the stats. Looking at the last 6 games is a bit tough too. 5 of those games were against top defenses I believe with San Fran, NY Giants, Minny and Seattle. The only lesser Defense was Dallas and they seemed to turn things around this year.

I just see the Sherman years happening again and we make the playoffs every year but once we get there we don't do anything and eventually we will be back to 8-8 team again

Whether McCarthy and Thompson stick around or not, once Aaron is gone, you can book 8-8.

Easy answer: more help. If he isn't good enough to do more with what he's got, then he obviously needs more help. He's not as superhuman as some want to make him out to be. He's elite, and can be unstoppable when he's hot, but if not, he's beatable. All things considered, I don't think he played bad in the NFC Championship game. He just didn't play great. One can't just discount his injury. It obviously impacted his game. Also, who here wouldn't love to see an Aaron Rodgers led team with an elite defense? It would be a sight to see. The offensive line is coming along, but they still aren't good enough in run blocking. Although I must give them credit in pass protection. They were looking pretty sharp.

As good as the Packers WRs are, they too often don't get enough separation. If you watched closely, you would know that. Plus most teams need more than two receiving threats against defenses like the Patriots and Seahawks. The Packers production from the #3 WR and tight end positions was very inconsistent.

And how exactly was it a "backup" Seahawks defense? Because a few players were banged up? For the most part, Sherman and Earl Thomas were still on the field and playing well. Just because they were hurt does not mean they weren't playing well. Should they have been challenged more? Perhaps, but it was obvious that Mike McCarthy became very conservative late in the game. Again, it goes way beyond Aaron Rodgers.

Special teams should have been better. Bad punts and gave up two huge plays that changed the course of the game. I'm sorry, but that's not "pretty good" in my book. Not to mention they were basically the worst unit in the league all season long.

We can try to make Aaron Rodgers out to be whatever we want him to be. But the fact remains that he is what is. The team needs a little more talent and development, and it's a very reasonable expectation next season, imo.

Aaron Rodgers didn't make ONE tackle that whole game...NOT ONE. C'mon, man!

A lot of little things went wrong in that game but Aaron Rodgers play wasn't one of them. To some of you it's like Harvey Haddix goes 12 perfect and loses in the 13th because his team couldn't scratch out one goddamned run and you think the Pirates lost because Haddix wasn't good enough.
