[QUOTE="Fuzznuts, post: 203106, member: 832"] Are you crazy? You're going to toss away a SUPERBOWL for the Packers just because you want a PROJECT like Aaron Rodgers to start. Talk about being a blind Homer for Rodgers. In case you didn't know, it's not easy to win the SB. Hell..it's not easy to even get there, and you're going to toss the Packers best chance of getting there for someone who may never get them there? Isn't that the point of playing in the NFL. "You play to win the game" You play to win the SUPERBOWL.... There is no guarantee that Rodgers will EVER get the Packers to the SB... Also, you are spreading lies/myths about Favre losing that "playoff magic".... Didn't he win a playoff game last week by crushing the Seahawks? Didn't the Giants come in to Lambeau and OUTPLAY the Packers by smacking them around on both sides of the ball.... Don't start this "playoff magic" crap because it's just a ruse to try and trick people into thinking that Aaron Rodgers is the answer. He isn't...He should be traded. Favre could play 3-5 more years and win several SB's.... That IS the future. You don't replace a top 3 QB in the NFL with a "project"... To remind you once again...This is why the Packers lost the game....Not some made up fantasy like "Brett Favre has lost his playoff magic"... This was a TEAM LOSS, not one I can put on any one player. I think its safe to say we did not play well. The Giants came in and made it a priority to stop the run and make us a one trick pony. It worked. Our offensive line was not able to open holes early and their linebackers were very disapplined and gave Grant no cutback lanes. Early on, we burnt them a few times on passing plays incorporating play action run fakes as their safeties came up to defend it. But as the game went on and they saw they didn't need to help out their front seven stop the run, their safeties stopped biting on the play action and stayed back. Unfortunately, the label "finesse" might well apply to our run blocking. We are not a smash mouth run blocking football team and until we can fix that we will have trouble running the ball in games like this. Their defensive backs also played much closer to the line of scrimmage than they did against Dallas, bumping our receivers alot and taking away alot of the short stuff on the passing game. Our offensive line did pass block well. Farve had more time than I thought he would have but the Giants did a very good job of filling their rush lanes so that Favre couldn't step through and pass the oncoming lineman to gain a good line of sight to our receivers which is one of Brett's true strengths. On top of that Brett became impatient in the second half when I think he sensed he had to make a play because the offense was sputtering and the defense was tiring. This was simply, a great defensive gameplan by the Giants defensive coordinator and we did not do well against it. I trust McCarthy (gameplan) and Thompson (obtaining players) will note our this big area of need (improved run blocking) and do something about it. I won't go into the defense here, but they too contributed mightily to this loss. The Giants were the better team on this day...period...and yet we STILL almost won this game. That in itself is very surprising. They dominated us and yet we still had our chances at the end All things considering, Brett did about as much as a man could. In the 4th qtr and OT, the giants didnt and werent going to blitz much because they didnt have to. The pack werent moving the ball well at all. They couldnt run, and Favre was a little inconsistent with his passing. Some were perfect, and some defintiley were not. But that is to be expected in that kind of weather, and throwing what they were trying to throw. The g-men sat back in coverage, and let favre try to beat them. No QB would have had a "magic answer" for that.... And that includes Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. What did the Chargers do to Manning in the playoffs? Do you think the Colts fan base is attacking Manning and demanding that he step down saying that Peyton has lost his "playoff magic"? He won the SB last year... His team got outplayed by another good team in the NFL.... It happens. Get over it. [/QUOTE]
