Sam Bradford just set the NFL ALL TIME record in completion percentage.
Russell Wilson was I think top five in QB rating
Matthew Stafford was spoken as a MVP candidate
Carson Wentz was anointed Joe Montana lol Sorry
Three of the QB's were not lousy. Yes, Matt Barkley and Brock Osweiler are LOUSY, no argument, but the other four are not and were not lousy. Again, you degrade the Packers when you should recognize and respect the opposing teams talent. It's like you don't even watch the games or have any insight from what else is happening in the NFL. Which is cool, that is perfectly cool. I just think it's a narrow window to make such broad judgments upon.

Wentz was an up and down rookie. Look at Peyton Manning's rookie season or Troy Aikman. Not good. Easy turnovers. Dom's defense confuses most rookies and Russell Wilson for some reason.
I don't have to degrade the Packers. I just comment on their defense which is LOUSY. It's not? You post some turnover stat to avoid commenting on it's ineptness. Toasted cheese, I tell ya. Little pass rush and a bad secondary is not a recipe for a deep playoff run. It was barely enough to overtake Detroit for the division. That's embarrassing. We almost lost the division back to back to Minnesota and Detroit.
Were we not the favorite to win it all before the season? Were we not favored to win all our games before the season? How is 10-6 not a disgrace given the expectations? Eeking into the division title is a proud accomplishment?
The O has been very good. I'm happy to see Rodgers playing like Rodgers used to play not as he'd been for 1.5 years.
You are one of the defense wins crowd. How do you justify any enthusiasm for this playoff run given our defense? These are simple honest questions that should be answered and haven't been.
No comment on Ted letting Casey go because he spent a 1st and 2nd on two CB's who can't play in the NFL? That's 3 brutal moves that have crippled this D. That's just the recent ones.
You can be happy about a home playoff game. Even our HC who you love said the goal in Green Bay is to win CHAMPIONSHIPS. Not divisional...WORLD'S. Failure is not doing that. I know you can't win it every year but to be as far away as we have for all of Rodgers tenure save for the one we won is disappointing and something should've been done when the stink and the linc took place.
EDIT: I neglected to comment on Sam Bradford. So, Sam had a great year because of his completion %? Again, the nuance is lost. What was his YPP? You could set the NFL record throwing them as short as he was. No downfield game save for when he played the Packers. He ripped us with Diggs in his first game as a starter in Minnesota and later with You've lost that lovin' Thielen at Lambeau. Bradford didn't have a great year and is not a great QB. Vikes gave up high picks for him. I wouldn't have given up a 3rd for that guy and they gave up a one and two, I believe.
The lousy QB, Barkley, that even you agree is lousy TORCHED our D. Bodes well for a long playoff run doesn't it?
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
