Divisional Round: 49ers @ Packers - Saturday, January 22nd 7:15PM

[sarcasm]At least we finally fixed the defense.[/sarcasm]

[adambr2]

I honestly started to feel much worse going into this game when I heard Billy Turner was starting at LT.

 

MLF has been a terrible playoff coach. I don't know why, but he's choked in January every chance he's had.

[PinaMadness]

Yeah, it's unfair to ask the defense to hold a one score lead for 57 minutes.

[sixtolezcano16]

Maybe it's just me, but maybe the reason we don't win home games in January is these teams aren't as good as the Lombardi and Holmgren teams.

 

No kidding. The NFL is just a shadow of what it use to be.

[OldHeidelberg]

Well good night, I will as is my custom avoid any media coverage for the next couple of days and not watch tomorrow's games. Looks like an Ozark binge for tomorrow.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Losing Dillon on special teams play, of all things, hurt big time.

 

Yep, and the reason he's out there at all is because other personnel weren't getting the job done earlier in the year. Not having the hammer in the second half didn't allow the offense to stay run heavy when the field started getting slick, because you can't just feed Jones constantly.

[MrTPlush]

Too bad a bunch of those guys on defense are likely gone next year. Lowry, Campbell, the Smiths, Douglas and maybe even Amos won't be back. Salary cap purgatory coming up.

 

Positive note: If Rodgers is gone it won’t matter.

This was indeed the last dance and its over. There's a significant rebuild coming up. Maybe it wouldn't be this way if they had gone all the way but after yet another choke job even before the NFCCG, I don't think any side has the stomach to even think of trying to run it back again.

 

Rodgers has played his last game as a Packer. Davante Adams. Many others. We witnessed the end of an era in the most embarrassing way possible.

I'm down to the last couple of episodes of Breaking Bad.

[FVBrewerFan]

In the end, the defense failed too. Should have never come to that, I know. But withe the weather at it's worst SF marched down into FG range. Loss isn't on them, but that still did happen.

 

They gave up 6 mother humping points. What do you want ?

 

There were individual plays that were bad, the Kittle catch and Jaire not tackling Deebo on 3rd down, but you honestly could have not asked for a better defensive performance.

 

I want them to stop SF from getting into FG range when it counted most. Loss isn't on them, I'll say it again. But in that weather, make a stop.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

It's time regardless. Obviously a championship would have been ideal but how in the world does Rodgers lace up again for this organization? Both sides have to feel like the mojo is just not there at this point. Probably best for both to turn the page. A sad end for sure. He did not have a great game, but neither did Jimmy and he is moving on.

 

Personally...I am more than ready to find the simple pleasures in a rebuild of sorts and lower stakes 4-7 win seasons. I can't take any more of these. It just all feels sour at this point.

 

I hope Rodgers can finish the job for someone else.

[SeaBass]

Plus another "good luck beating Green Bay in the cold weather" loss. I don't know why people keep saying that, but it hasn't been true for a decade now.

 

Nobody more than a casual fan believes anything about Lambeau mystique. Their pretty record was padded by not making the playoffs for 25 years and the fact that when they used to make it, they were Lombardi's Kings.

 

Once they were decent but nothing special they lost a whole bunch of games. It's meaningless. Honestly they've probably been a better indoor team for some time now.

Sure but let's not pretend SF came out and whooped their butts or played some type of inspiring game. I think 100% of posters on this board expected the Packers offense to actually show up tonight but they were M.I.A. after the first possession. They allowed an NFL playoff team to stay close until a backbreaking play turned the tide.

For how different personality-wise Favre and Rodgers are, it is almost eerie how similar their Packers careers are ending. Get ready for an offseason of drama, culminating in Rodgers being dealt for what will probably be an underwhelming, disappointing return for many Packer fans.

If we get two 1sts I'll be extremely impressed. I think that's the ceiling and the floor is an early 2nd and a decent player or two.

[GAME05]

Whatever it is, I've assumed Rodgers made his decision a long time ago and that this one game doesn't factor into it.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Defense held san fran to 212 total yards, 106 rushing on 29 carries...if anyone said that would be the case in this game yesterday we would all assume GB won by 20+

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think one big difference between last season and this season is most were hoping they'd work things out. I think even if you don't blame Rodgers for tonight, which is fair or whatever...it seems like most just want the marriage to end now. A breakup now would seem much more amicable.

That may be the case, but now it may be that Gute and company don't really care what Rodgers wants to do even if he does want to end his career here and just move on no matter what. I dunno, tough pill to swallow right now.

Rodgers didn't cost them the game tonight...but IMO he didn't do nearly enough to win it, either. There have been several gut wrenching playoff losses where you could say the exact same thing now.

He led an offense that put up 3 points in basically 57 minutes. That ended up being extremely costly.

I think the only people who feel that way are not employed by the Green Bay Packers.

I hope your kidding. You must not know how desperate nfl teams are for QBs. If gutey can’t get two ones a two and a starting player he should be fired.

Rodgers was ready to move on after last season when we were one play away from the Super Bowl and had to be begged to return.

 

Fast forward one year to this horrific debacle and he'll want to spend the rest of his career here?

 

Absolutely not. He is done as a Packer.

[sixtolezcano16]

Maybe Gutey can trade Rogers for a better ST coach….lol.

[jason21nl]

5 minutes left in the damn game and you give up a punt block TD. This one pissed me off
