Watching the Super Bowl last night made me realize a number of things about the Packers:
1) Joe Flacco's contract is going to cost the Packers A LOT. If Flacco gets $20M/year that should be the starting point for Rodgers' contract. On the plus side it'll also cost the Bears a lot of money because Cutler will want just as much as Flacco.
2) The Packers need a nose tackle if they are going to keep running a 3-4 defense. Ngata is a beast in the middle and was a main contributor to the Ravens first half lead. The loss of Ngata should have been discussed more as a reason for San Francisco's second half comeback. Ngata literally owns the middle of the field.
3) It is really something to watch a team with four good linebackers (San Francisco). Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman are killers in the run game and play very good coverage. AJ Hawk and Brad Jones, who hopefully have new teams next year, should watch film on those two guys. Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks are very good in coverage and even better rushing the quarterback. The dual threat of both players is really something to watch.
4) Finley has to get his act together. The tight-ends last night were everywhere. Vernon Davis had his way with the Ravens linebackers and safeties. Dennis Pita helped Flacco spread the field better and offered a big target in the red zone. Check the stats from last night. The tight-ends were the stars of the show last night.
