Its gonna be the NFC north fighting it out to go to the Superbowl. I picked Packers to beat Da Bears when the playoffs started and I am sticking with it. I really admire the Packers for knocking of two teams that I really hate.

Amazing what a QB can do when he gets protection.

wasn't surprised with the packers winning but sure was surprised in the score. their running game has picked up and that really makes their offense dangerous. it's easy to see why the packers decided they had enough of favre's waffling with retirement a few years ago.

Sweet. Rodgers was on fire.

Only 11 more years and the vikes will be able to lure him away to viking land.

Well, Rodgers has been limited by the effectiveness of those around him from time to time, but gol dang if he hasn't dominated of late. Packers fans are loving the fact that the organization has brought in and developed two elite quarterbacks in a row. QB is a sticking point for many, many teams who have a lot of talent in other positions but can't quite manage to get it done.

I was particularly impressed with how calm and confident Rodgers was last night. Doofus fumble led to a bird score, Rodgers led the team downfield to score in a long drive to tie. Doofus blocking on kickoff led to another instant bird score, Rodgers led the team downfield to score in a long drive to tie. Like he was just out for a walk in the park. And then he just kept going. Ability is only part of the equation at QB. Rodgers is showing he has all those other characteristics needed to be called "elite." I probably shouldn't use that word to describe him because he hasn't led a team to a Super Bowl win. Yet.

Running game when it was needed didn't hurt a bit, either. smile

I think we'll see today whether Chicago is really a threat for the Super Bowl. With the schedule they've had, it's been pretty attractive to say they don't have what it takes to even get to the NFC champ game. I would not be surprised if the Seahawks win.

In fact, I wouldn't mind that at all. That'd give the Pack a third bird team in a row ripe for the plucking.

But yeah, I'd like to see a good old fashioned hammer and tongs fight at Soldier Field for the NFC title between LONGTIME division rivals. The Pack/Bears are one of the oldest division rivalries in the NFL. The oldest? Dunno.

I think you've gotta give a bunch of kudos to Thompson and McCarthy et al, too. With 14 players on IR this season, many of them key players, the depth of the team was what allowed them to succeed even though they had a tough schedule. I can't recall whether it was Buck or Aikman who said it last night, but one of them said McCarthy was his pick for coach of the year because of what he's been able to do with what he had. If the Pack win the NFC championship, I reckon he's a shoo-in.

That many injuries also present a lot of players who would normally be sitting on the bench or playing a few downs to show their abilities in game situations, and some of them have really shone. So when everyone gets healthy, you've got a ton of experience throughout the roster. Even Bulaga did a good job protecting Rodgers, and didn't get a single holding penalty the whole game. He had me about pulling my hair out against the Eagles.

Last nights plucking in Bird City I'm sure was a tremendous confidence builder after the dogfights the Pack has had the last few games. They still gotta win the NFC championship, but I think they've shown the football world that they are the team most likely to win it, no matter who wins today.

Hey, Pack haters, take heart. Not EVERY team you hate can lose all the time. whistle

OK, OK, maybe it WASN'T "nuff said." gringrin

The packers will win the Super Bowl. There is no team in the league playing at their level and their coach has just joined the ranks of the elite.

thats exactly what I was referring to... it didn't take him a year or two (unless you're talking about while he was sitting behind Favre)

in his first year he threw for more than 4,000 yards, 28 TDs, and had a rating of 93.8 - almost an exact carbon copy of Peyton Manning that year, who had 36 less yards, one less touchdown and one less int. IN fact, Rodgers career passer rating is better than Manning's

Rodgers has torn it up since Day 1 as a starter

It is amazing with all those injuries. It just seems to be "next man up" and they do at worst an adequate job.

Even though I am a die hard Vikings fan you gotta love the Pack's performance. Way to go. Now if Chicago can get by Seattle it will set up for a really big show!!!!!!. I really hope to see the Pack go all the way and pick up another Super bowl win go Pack.

Agreed. To be clear, my comments about Rodgers and his play were given in the overall context of how well the team has done since he's been starting. As an individual at QB, he is outstanding. smile

Keep going Pack!!!!

there's peaks and valleys in every season, and the pack were coming out ot their valley the last game of the season beating chicago and you could sense "oh boy look out". thats why i picked them in my board to win the super bowl, against the patriots, who have'nt hit a valley yet and will squeak their way in to the big game and losing 34-24 to the green bay rodgers.

Rodgers was an absolute stud last night. He completely picked apart Atlanta. Ryan's pick-6 (I actuallly hate the term "pick-6") throw gave all the momentum to Green Bay. I predict they'll blow the bears out next week.

What a game huh? I was just amazed at rodgers non pro bowl voted performance. Matty boy looked like a 3rd string. We definately went down there and showed everyone who the premiere team is right now in the NFC. Bring on the bears....Not very concerned about them.

I'm concerned about them. They are playing well today. These teams always get up for each other, and with the NFC championship on the line, I worry. No matter how well the Pack played yesterday, well, you know how it can go . . .

The Bears and Packers will be a great game. It will be 3 to 7 point game with lots of defense.

They played well today but the hawks played like their record shows. Ungodly amount of dropped passes cost them 3/4 of their drives...That and they weren't able to get to cutler like they did earlier in the year. It'll be a great game, but we have the momentum going into the big game which is a plus for us. I see Dallas in the future unless our bus crashes...

The Packers are playing very well but do not count out the Pat's. Seems's the elite team for a few years now has been new England. If it were to be the Jets and the Pack, I would think the odds would be better for the Packers.

Yeah, not going to comment on the pats/pack matchup....They have an all around great team, Woodhead who runs a 4.3 40 will create havoc for defense, Brady I don't even have to speak about, it would be the biggest test for us, but we played them well in the regular season, better than I expected.....

Correct, it will be Pit or Jets against GB or Da Bears.

It's all up in the air now.

The jets looked great today.

great game by the pack, they played great, but Atlanta played just bad they sure didnt look like the #1 seed. Wouldn't that be a sweet super bowl two number #6 seeds?

      The only points the Packers scored were 1) off a turnover (interception), and 2) in garbage time when the Vikings went into prevent defense mode.  Outside of that, they put up a whopping 3 points.  This from a GB team that has scored at least 30 points in each of their last 5 games.   The theory on prevent defense is that once you get a big lead in the 4th quarter, you back off and make the opponent beat you by methodically moving the ball and the sticks, one at a time.  It eats up clock and there just isn't enough time left to come back doing it.  You don't want to get beat deep so you give them easy yardage.  Its like slowly bleeding out but you survive the game without dying.  I don't particularly care for it, but every single team in the NFL does it.  We've seen it  a lot this season too when the Vikings get a double digit lead, and then back off, allowing the other team to gain ground and make it close.

      Lake update:  It rained quite a bit on overnight Friday into Saturday. There is virtually no snow on the lake now, except a scant amount in the shadows along the shorelines. On Saturday there were good pools of water on top of the ice. My daughter, niece, and nephew had a blast riding snowmobiles around in all of that water/slush. However, most of that liquid water firmed up yesterday and now the lake is pure ice again.   If you've got scratchers and studs on your sled, you will be fine. If not, you better walk or ride an ATV/UTV out to your ice fishing holes.    Ask Mother Nature to send a bunch of snow ASAP.

      Agreed.  If Darnold could unload a lot faster off the snap he would be unstoppable.  I could see how frustrated Jefferson was.  
    • Wanderer
      I think they could get the Lions.  Not as confident with the Chefs.  I’d love to see it though.   Darnold did well for sure!  But he was off a bit and the receivers made some great catches.  Then a few plays that were close to turnovers.  It was a good thing GB took too long to find their game.   Im not hatin’, just sayin’.

      Just like the Twins in 87 and 91.  One game at a time.  I think with KOC they have a good shot. Besides it's a rebuild year according to the experts at the beginning of the year.  
    • leech~~
      It was a win but can they get by the Lion's and Chief's if the defense doesn't show up?  What more can your QB do but his best stat game of the season?  
    • smurfy
      i dont see a TV......weres da commercial??????🤣🙃
    • Wanderer
      Glad they hung on to it with leaving 13 points on the field.

      OMG Vikes. I don't need this heart stopping kind if game,  but love 14-2.  Now regroup and take care of Detroit.
