McGinn is wrong.
Rodgers was not "solid" in the NFC Championship game in Chicago in 2011. He had a 55 rating, threw 2 picks including one inside the 10 yard line to Urlacher and the offense scored 14 points.
The Packers won that game because of their defense.
Rodgers being a one time champ is a real possibility. This was our best chance since 2011, and I doubt we are so fortunate when it comes to injuries next year. We were probably the healthiest team in the league. Who did we lose? Raji in the preseason, House and Shields for a couple of games each and that was about it.
This is the thing. Depending on how well they respond to the loss at Seattle, it's likely that key young players will improve and the team will be able to address it's few needs with at least some degree of success. Injuries, as always, will be the great X factor.

Agree completely. Why the reliance on him having to single-handedly win every game for us? This year, hurt and playing on the road in bad weather. Maybe he could have done more if he had actually had the ball in his hands more in the second half. There are three men fully responsible for this year's fail and none of them have the last name Rodgers.Ok where is the artical about the defense and how they need to play better? I'm not defending Rodgers but even with one healthy leg he outplayed Wilson for 55 minutes ...IMO if mM calls a better game the Packers are in the SB even with the defense collapse the last 6 mins of the game. Rodgers is good enough take over a game at anytime and he needs to have that mindset especially in the playoffs. I'll blame this one on being 70% and dumb play calling.
An overblown expectation of only one player is a problem. I would be willing to bet he would have more success if he did his own play calling.Last season showed how good things go without Rodgers. When you're the big man on campus, big things are expected of you. As Rodgers goes, so go the Packers.
This is exactly how the faction that became the Favre haters got started. Next, certain individuals will be speculating as to when Ted will draft Aaron's replacement. Pretty soon, Rodgers won't be able to dress well enough to pacify "the critics".
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Shall we just divide into camps now and get the fight started?
I've been wondering that for a week (especially the run play on 3rd and 16 ). Is it possible MM had him on a tight leash in that game to keep him from doing anything too risky, either game-wise or injury-wise?Ah, which leads us to the next question. Rodgers referred- rather indirectly- to the team not being aggressive enough.
He supposedly has the authority to call his own audibles/plays.
Why didn't he?
