We didn't "take Arizona to the wire" so much as we shit ourselves and let an inferior team defeat us.

I'm pretty sure no one was saying "Arizona is the inferior team compared to the Packers" at the start of the post-season. Hell, they kicked our ass less than a month ago.

This was a mighty fine win.

It's only gratifying to you, because Janis made some good plays.

We got Bakhtiari and Shields back, next week we'd get Davante back. We already had Aaron back from his tantrum. We could have made a run. But I guess not.

Rodgers had a brutal season as did Cobb, Adams and the OL. My expectations sank week after week after week.

If Seattle wins tomorrow, it's really gonna sting. Could've been hosting the CHIP with revenge on the line. What theater that would've been.

I don't understand the defense sometimes, playing man coverage mostly, and its working. Then Larry Fitzgerald beats it a couple of times so we run zone for the rest of the game and it gets beat continuously.

Yeah, they kicked our asses, when we had two backup Gs at T.

Just because we shit ourselves worse a month ago, doesn't mean that it's ok to shit ourselves now. Maybe it is to you, but it's not to me.

However I know better than to get into conversation with you.

This team played out of its mind. The defense would have had even more sacks in the 2nd half if they weren't allowed to hold on every play. I came away impressed overall. Sucks that Shields couldn't make any picks though.

Actually, we lost because our DB's can't catch simple interceptions.

Sure, if Sam can make a catch and run it back for 6 then I agree, but we never made the plays we needed to make for them to be on the ropes.
