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."

I figured it would be close, most of us did. But who expected the Packers would be blown out? Nobody west of the Appalachians. Congratulations to the Falcons, I hope they represent the NFC well and win the Super Bowl.

And then Crosby missed that field goal.

Ugh.

Its one thing to not have key players on offense. They can make adjustments. But when it's on defense unless the backup players step up beyond their abilities they will be eaten alive by a QB like Ryan.
