the man deserves more!

I was nothing but proud of what Aaron Rodgers accomplished today. I thought that even with a loss, the monkey would be off his back.

Until HE lost the game at the end.

But you know what? I'm fine. Rodgers is gonna be back next year with a more experienced offense and perhaps a better offensive line.

HE did not lose the game. He missed Jennings... You know what? It happens. He had 3 more tries. That fumble technically never should have happened. Even though it did, I in NO way fault him for it. There was NO way to escape, it was too quick to react and secure the ball, and once the ball out he was being manhandled and there's nothing he could have done to recover it. Rodgers carried the damn game, and despite the credit you gave to him, HE doesn't deserve the implication that HE lost the game. The O line, the cardinals, the refs are at fault. I can't find any in Rodgers on that play.

I can't believe no one has commented on this yet, but -

How shitty was Rodgers luck that he kicked the ball on the final play to Dansby? Guy just tries to salvage the mistake and it just gets worse. That ball could easily have hit the grou.....

Good season Pack. 2010-11 looks very promising.

You have to play smart in the playoffs. As smart and as great as Rodgers is, he should've done the smart thing and just taken the sack.

There's one thing a lot of people don't realise about Rodgers.

This is his second starting season and first playoff game.

How many QBs can throw for 4 TDs, run another one in and come back 21 points, in their first playoff game? It's something special, and takes a guy like Rodgers to make us forget that really, we have no business expecting so much out of a 2nd year starter. But the fact that it's Rodgers, and we do, is the ultimate respect I can pay that man. That we are so comfortable with him, that we expect such greatness irrespective of the experience he has, always being compared to Favre, is rare indeed.

That's exactly what he was trying to do. That's why Rodgers didn't throw it and some people got into that Tuck rule argument - Rodgers never went and threw the ball. He just lost his grip, which happens.

And this statement I'll agree with.

My main reason for my initial post was to establish my pride in Aaron Rodgers. This game has definitely, in my mind, established him enough to be thought of as one of the top 5 QB's in this league.

It's really unfortunate that he'll draw comparisons to Favre. I'm sorry, but even Brett Favre in his prime would never be able to bring the Packers back 21 in the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers did that, and he's the reason why this team will be contenders for the next few years.

This game was his way to make his feel. Tony Romo and Philip Rivers struggled in their first playoff outings, and I have all the confidence in the world in Aaron when he makes his return.

IMHO, when you have 45 points on the board and you still lose, the last person to place any blame on is the quarterback.

Mucky Tundra (9m) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (59m) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (7h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (8h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (15h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
