I wouldn't detest them as much. ;)

How did it feel to finally win your first playoff game?

Rodgers: Well, in all my time being a football fan I have never seen one player win a game all by himself. It is a good team win for us and I will let you guys write what you want on that.

Great quote. Really shows the difference between him and Brett, IMO. Rodgers is not bigger than the team, he knows it, and he's okay with it. I might change my sig to this, b/c I like it better.

Here is another gem too:

Did you expect such a contribution from the run game?

No, I didn't to be honest. I thought I was going to have to play a good game and be efficient and do a good job on third downs, which we did. I thought that we were going to have a few more passing attempts, but the way that James was running, we just stuck with it.



That is as brutally honest as you can get.

Thanks for the article...a good read, however this annoys me,

How crucial was WR James Jones' drop? Well, in fairness to James, he clearly had the obvious opportunity right there before the half to put it to 21. But he has a thumb he's dealing with. So he'll fight through it. He's a warrior. He takes great care of his body, but he'll be the first one to tell you he needs to make that catch.



If the team told jones to drop his pants, grab his ankles, and then lined a jugs machine up 3 inches behind his ass, it STILL would have been harder for him to hold on to that than the ball he dropped! I get that he's not trying to throw his guy under the bus, but do you expect me to buy that?!?

As for Rodgers, I liked Mike's quote on him too. In the press conference he was actually annoyed by the question (this being a milestone win for Rodgers). Too much is made of Rodgers' playoff record or performance in the clutch and Mike deflected that nicely.

This coming from a quarterback who just set an NFL record for most touchdown passes in his first two postseason games.

By the way, this is the Packers' third postseason appearance in the Mike McCarthy era, yet only their second postseason win in his tenure. I was surprised to realize that.

Rodgers is such a class act. I love the way he plays and talks about the team victory.

Someone can probably figure this out better than me...

but does this mark the third straight first playoff game for the Packers under McCarthy where they have turned the ball over on their first possession?

Against the Seahawks in 07, I believe Grant fumbled on the first series for the offense. Last year, I think we also had a turnover on the first series. And this year, we turned it over the first time we got possession of the ball.

If true, that is quite an odd stat.

that is peculiar if it is true aadp. Also, there was the stat thread started this week, and I think through that or ESPN I heard 85% of teams who win the turnover battle win the game.

Good to be in the 15% minority today!

If we had possessed the ball, then yes, but I don't know if an accidental touch on a punt return constitutes as a possession.

But yes, we've turned the ball over in the first quarter of the three years being in the post season in the first game under Mike McCarthy.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
