Bensalama21, Wow yes you're right about Andrew Luck. He was extremely generous last night again with the donated balls to New England man!
I hate New England and I keep loving to rib their fans by saying they haven't won a SB since Spygate caught them.... but they have made it to 2 that were supposed to be against is, if the Giants hadn't knocked us off each time, in our park.
BTW, New England is the one and only team, I think, who can say right now they've been hurt worse than us with injuries.
Maybe Denver is close too.
But New England has lost the best TE in football to a Randall Cobb-like cheap shot, torn ACL/MCL.
They're also without their Pro Bowl NT Vincey Wilfork, who is still everything the Packers wished Raji would become.
And they're missing now their ILB Brandon Spikes, who is great against the run.
I can't keep track of their WR's and who's injured there....
Denver lost the All-Pro OLB Von Miller to a torn ACL last month, and same thing to their All-Pro LT Bryan Bulaga.
That's pretty good duo there.
I agree with much of that ExpatPacker!You know, reading McGinn's opinion I find myself agreeing. McGinn is notorious for highlighting the negative about TT, but someone has to play the bad guy sometimes, especially when everyone else is apologizing, so let it be McGinn.
4 playoff games in the last 3 years and 2 have been blowouts, one a good but not great game (this year), and one a win against the Joe Webb-led Vikings in which we probably should have blown them sky-high but merely won.
Contrast that to the Patriots. I watched how the Patriots dismantled Indy last night and I noticed several things.
Yes, they have better personnel overall than we do, but a) Belichick isn't the guy calling the plays, it's McDaniels their OC, and he was masterful. The announcers talked about how he had identified some weakness on the Indy left side that he was exploiting all game. When if ever have I heard MM's play-calling described as masterful? b) the Patriots put on their best performances year after year in the playoffs. We don't, except for 2010. No, they haven't won a SB in many years, but unlike us, they have MADE it to the AFC championship game and the SB umpteen more times than we have. c) Brady is always ready for the playoffs. He almost never has a pedestrian game. You always know he's gonna bring it. d) There's always somebody, several players who have a big game for the Patriots.
Rodgers has been ok, but ok in the playoffs is not good enough. You have to be great. I wish that I could call his performances over the last 3 years, any 1 of the 4 great, but I can't.
