13 Times Champs
Cheesehead
The Packers dropped 6 passes in the December Giants game. Next.
What do you think Tom Brady and the Pat would have done to this defense had they made it to the SB?
So... let me make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Aaron Rodgers, who is a grown man of 28 years was so traumatized by attending a funeral that it caused his receivers and running backs to not be able to hold on to the ball? Whew... that explains everything then. Glad you cleared that up.
The timing of this is just too close to think it's anything else.Why can't anybody reading this thread realize that the death of the OC's son is NOT being used as the SOLE REASON for the loss. People are saying that the loss more than likely contributed to the Packers' preparedness for the game.

This was a team that was playing awesome all season long.
And then this death happens.
If Michael Philbin had still been alive, then I seriously believe we would have seen the Packers we have seen all season and they would have beat the Giants.
Uh...I think a loss of an individual is more important than a football game. That is just me. The Packers were obviously not playing like they usually play (and they are not BLAMING Philibin's son).
In the end, you just have to execute during the game, it is a matter of survival in the playoffs. However, you have no evidence to say IT DID NOT affect any of the Packers players.

I wonder if Favre would have been able to overcome this....I think of him during the days when he used to always somehow summon up the will for the team to win. I hated the guy for that, he would never just stay down. I know I am going to get flamed for the suggestion, but what if old Favre would have been in there.

The OC didn't turn the ball over 3 times, the OC wasn't dropping passes, the OC wasn't running poor routes and not getting open....face it, the offense just picked the wrong time of the year to come out and lay an egg...
Favre who???? History, dude.I wonder if Favre would have been able to overcome this....I think of him during the days when he used to always somehow summon up the will for the team to win.

Your right.You want to know why the Packers lost? It's simple.
The defense played like they did all year.
And the offense didn't.
Nothing more, nothing less.
But that Packer team was older and maybe had more life experience. With the exception of a few players, the Packers are very young. Rodgers is 28 years old. The same thing happened to the Colts 7 years ago. You wouldn't think something like this affects players but it does. But bear in mind, the year after that tragedy...the Colts won the Super Bowl. Maybe the Packers follow the same path. You can even see it in Rodgers' post game interview...the somberness (is that a word?).
Some days chicken salad. Some days chicken crap. Sunday was a chicken crap day for the offense. And the defense, well they played like they did all year. To sit here and try to analyze it you are just wasting your time. Believe me I have been down that road. Why did MN have so many turnovers against the Saints? You will drive yourself nuts if you keep thinking about it. Just move on and cheer for the Niners to take them out.Your right.
But why didn't the offense play better?
Probably because the death of Michael Philbin really got into their heads.
Somehow that demoralized them instead of inspiring them.
And Michael Philbin's presence at Lambeau didn't help either.
McCarthy should have told him to stay at home.

Didn't he Pack get hit with 12 in the huddle yesterday? Or was that someone else? Nope, it was the SAINTS!The ball was oiled?
12 men in the huddle?

You are right, it was the niners. Read the play by play wrong. Now the real question, do the Ravens take down the Pats? Another elite offense taken out by a good defensive team. Ravens/Niners SB?Niners got hit with it.
When I heard it I almost fell off my chair. I was like "thats it just hand the Saints their rings now!!!!." Oh Thank God the Niners won.
With the Pack losing this has to kill the Saints. Less then 2 minutes from hosting the title game where nobody beats them and then playing the big one indoors.
12 men in the freaking huddle. I could not believe it during that NFCCG.......I was all ready for the Peyton/Favre showdown.
