[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 484331, member: 2232"] Vic & Mike have a nice thing here, and the key for the Packers, Mike says, is the Packers getting ahead early. I would agree. [url]http://www.packers.com/media-center/videos/Packers-at-49ers-Final-Thoughts/f6b01399-e47c-43f7-b80d-9dc06fdc1ee3[/url] For all of Rodgers greatness, [B]historic[/B] really, the one thing he obviously has not been "great" at is pulling out victories when the Packers fall behind. This has been well-documented, and debated back & forth here and elsewhere. We all want to defend our guy, but he's not been able to pull out the dramatic escapes like Eli, Brady, Montana, Elway, etc. That's the only part missing from Rodgers all-time greatness. And Rodgers, unlike Brady, doesn't have the clutch kicker Vinitieri to seal the deal for him with the game-winning kicks if that's all it took. [B]This is why I worry so much. It seems for us to win, we always have to be in the lead![/B] [B]If we get behind, it's a bad thing......[/B] Even the Arizona playoff loss where we did rally and tie it, we never could get the lead. The Giants game, again, fell behind. Now my dream scenario here today is, even though we might lose a few fans from heart attacks, is for Rodgers to have [B]THE DRIVE[/B] like Elway had to beat the Browns, Big Ben to win the Super Bowl over Warner's Cardinals. Eli to beat the Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl. Montana to beat the Bengals in the 1990 Super Bowl, hitting Taylor for the win. Packers down 27-23, get the ball with 2:34 left on the clock, at our own 3 yard line. And he systematically carves them up on a 97-yard drive, converting 4 third downs along the way (no 4th downs, my heart couldn't take that).... and finishing it with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jermichael Finley on 3rd & goal with 6 seconds left. Crosby doesn't even have to make the PAT. [/QUOTE]
