Crazy coincidence on the statistics.

Whats even crazier is their similarites to try and over come their horrible defense as well.

And the HC brought in a new DC the 2nd year of Rodgers starting. The same will happen for Jordan Love's 2nd season. That's the script.

From the script writers themselves ...

Ok in the spirit of the comparisons lets go lol

Favre 0-3 as a Packer vs the Cowboys in the playoffs
Love 1-0


Rodgers 0-4 against the 49ers in the Playoffs?
Love ? Could he pass the 2 greats in his 1st year lol

I think we get manhandled this week, I don't see our defense stopping the 49ers offense. But if somehow we did how great would it be to have to face the Lions for a trip to the Super Bowl. Remember how they celebrated last year because they kept us from the playoffs, imagine stopping them from their 1st ever appearance in a Super Bowl lol. I know it's a little dream but we aren't supposed to be here this week so you never know.

In 2008, Aaron Rodgers signed a 5-year extension making him the 4th highest paid QB (Peyton Manning, Palmer, Rothlisberger).

If Jordan Love, with near identical numbers to 2008 Rodgers, becomes the 4th highest paid QB it would take $51-$52 million APY (Burrow, Herbert, Jackson).

Everything I am seeing right now has him slated in at around $43 million a year

Since The Packers extended J-1OVE at the beginning of this year instead of picking up his 5th year option, they cannot do anything until May 1st of next year.
I'm not sure what other qb's are inline for a new contract between now and then, but the price is only going to go up.

These contracts are not about actual Dollar Value, it's all about THE GUARANTEED MONEY and signing bonuses.
I would love to see The Packers do a deal like Mahonnes originally signed. only the amount per year would be a little more.

10 years.....$500mil.....250mil guaranteed. With an "option out clause after 5 years"

That gives The Packers a chance to add a couple of void years and be able to spread the 250mil out over 13 years.
That's 19.25 mil a year plus his base salary.
Which will keep his Salary cap hit down for the first five years while they play with all the new guys on offense.

I don't claim to be an expert on the salary cap but with these qb contracts there are ways to keep the cap hit down.

The Lions have won four NFL championships, the last being in 1957. The Packers have won 13 championships, the last being in 2011. That would be a whole lot of championships represented in the NFC Championship Game. Not to mention the fifth oldest team in the league squaring off against the third oldest.

Incidentally, the Packers are the oldest NFL team in continuous operation never to have moved or changed its name. The Chicago Bears (formerly Decatur Staleys, then Chicago Staleys) are one of only two original teams remaining in the league, the other being the Arizona Cardinals (formerly Chicago Cardinals, then Card-Pitt, then St. Louis Cardinals, then Phoenix Cardinals). The Cardinals actually trace their lineage all the way back to the Morgan Athletic Club, which was founded in 1898 -- kind of crazy when you think about it. They secured territorial rights to Chicago by winning a match against the Tigers by a score of 6-0.

man that would awsome if they stopped 'em
I mean we have a chance

Referring to Rourke,

I say the Packers win this week along with the Lions because of the storylines that can be written. Let's look at the other matchups with storylines. Lions vs 49ers. The Lions going for their 1st Super Bowl and the 49ers going to tie for most Vince Lombardi trophies. Bucs vs 49ers Ummm Baker Mayfield vs 49ers going for most trophies. Now how about Bucs vs Packers Mayfield as a comeback player vs a team that was embarrassed at the hands of the Bucs just a few years ago and lost a chance to get to the Super Bowl?
But Let's get into what would for sure make the rivalry become one we haven't seen in decades to the point fans will hate each other. As an older fan, I have a soft spot for the loveable cubbies from Michigan. To think we gave them the last 0-16 season and ran the score up with a backup QB. The Lions will be going for their 1st ever Super Bowl, and the Packers going to add to their league-leading 13 championships. The Lions celebrated like they won the Super Bowl when they kept the Packers from the playoffs last year, The Packers would want revenge. So besides that can you imagine the rap battle that could take place Lil Wayne vs Eminem lol.

So to me, the NFL and Media would peak more interest in a Lions Vs Packers championship game than any other combination.
But I will be shocked if we get by the 49ers as they have a very potent offense, that can be stopped. Run the same type of coverage and double up Samuel, and Jaire on Ayuik, stop the run, and hit Purdy, because I still am not sold on Purdy in big games.

Let's Go Pack

49ers 31-28

game winning kick as time expires as per the usual Barry calls for a prevent defense not to give up a TD but gets into FG range with ease.
