[Marshall 98]

Go Pack!

[shorepatrol 1,735]

Well, that looked easy

[Marshall 98]

Well, that looked easy

 

Ugh. Gotta admit that it did.

[Kent 228]

Can't watch all these commercials. Ugh.

[Marshall 98]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge.

[bjsteel 34]

On either 2nd or 3rd down with 3yds to go, I would like to have seen a draw play to Montgomery. If Rodgers is just going to throw 60-times, they are doomed.

It's McCarthy they will pass 80

[Marshall 98]

Michael? Are you kidding me?

 

Gah.

[kutulu 1,542]

Ooof

[Marshall 98]

Oh FFS!

 

 

Edit: Not sure that I can watch much more of this.

[jimaveli 119]

The missed kick and turnover are BRUTAL. More brutal, the d is wide open and Kyle is working them and giving Matthew Ice easy looks and throws. It's never over this early with Rodgers at qb but they need something good to happen to them very soon.

[shorepatrol 1,735]

Oh boy

[NorthernVike 2,079]

Yawn

[murf74 461]

Will this mean less Green Bay commercials on the offseason ?

[Marshall 98]

If (heavens forfend) the Steelers win tonight, it'll create a Super Bowl that I won't be watching.

[Reality 2,710]

GB was a cute story.

[jimaveli 119]

That was not good.

 

It sucks to have injuries add up like they have for the Pack. But the Falcons are executing at least well enough to make them pay for the first time in 2 months. Crazy season.

[kutulu 1,542]

[Marshall 98]

This reminds me of the Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV. It was an excruciating game to watch, even for those of us who couldn't stand Horse Face & Co.

 

Worse now though, since I like the Pack.

[RoadLizard 73]

Another great playoff game. Focking amazing. Cant wait for the NHL/NBA playoffs since those sports actually have WATCHABLE playoff games.

 

Coming next? NE will be up 35-0 by the first half too. Not even watching that garbage.

 

At least in a few weeks this shiat is over. My goodness, make it stop.

[mighty_thor 115]

I was going to say if a team could come back from 24 it would be GB and Aaron Rodgers and if a team could lose a 24 point lead it would be Atlanta. But I think Julio just put this away. Dan Quinn > Mike Smith

[weepaws 2,452]

Money.

[IGotWorms 3,302]

I thought maybe the Falcons were underrated or the Packers were possibly overrated.

 

Didn't realize it was both in a big, big way

I'm surprised your not throwing any love behind Dan Quinn.

[jimaveli 119]

Green Bay beat folks for 2 months. And Rodgers is legit. But their defense has been ripe for the picking for a good while. And the injuries stacked up to unrecoverable levels. Add in that they started off far too slow today to survive what Atlanta had for them on offense.

 

The NFC South makes it to another sb.

[jimaveli 119]

For Sanu, Andy Dalton weeps. He may even sob.

[phillygrrl08 139]

I have -1.1 in one DK lineup. GB has -4 right now, never thought they'd be getting blown away like this.

 

At what point does ATL pull Ryan?

[TennisMenace 156]

Its unusual to have a whole half as garbage time.

 

Rodgers and Co should fatten up before it is over.

That last td should be enough. This is especially the case if GB doesn't score right now. No need to play around with Ice. He's only played the best season of his life.

[Marshall 98]

He's in the wrong place now.

Mike McCarthy proves yet again he is a clown and ARod proves yet again he can't win the big one

[weepaws 2,452]

A Rodgers has won a Super Bowl proving he can win the big one.

[edjr 5,547]

A Rodgers has won a Super Bowl proving he can win the big one.

 

so did Mark Rypien, Trent Dilfer, Ken Stabler, Jim McMahon, Jim Plunkett, Brad Johnson, Joe Namath and Jeff Hostetler

[weepaws 2,452]

That's correct.

 

Also Phil Sims and Doug Williams and Bob Greise.

 

So they proved like A Rodgers that they could indeed win the big one.

[Showboat 143]

....and Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning and Steve Young and Brett Favre and Drew Brees and Terry Bradshaw and Bart Starr and.......

they all won it once?

 

[Showboat 143]

Sorry, I didn't know that you only wanted the one win guys (Plunkett and Griese both won twice).

 

That's Favre, Young and Brees from my list. Additional ones not mentioned would be Len Dawson, Johnny Unitas (but he did win championships before the Super Bowl existed), Joe Theisman, Kurt Warner, Joe Flacco, and Russel Wilson

[Oriole8159 86]

Mike McCarthy proves yet again he is a clown and ARod proves yet again he can't win the big one

 

This whole discussion started because you voluntarily made this statement that "ARod proves yet again he can't win the big one."

You don't get to change the direction of the conversation then once another poster rightfully points out that Rodgers has in fact won the big one. Trying to lump him in with other lesser rated one time winning QBs like Rypien or Dilfer doesn't do anything to change the fact that you were wrong.

 

If you want to make the statement that Rodgers should be lumped in with the Rypiens or Dilfers when it comes to SB winning QBs than that's fine, but don't try to change the subject retroactively just to cover up the fact that you were wrong.
