If we get our D playing like they did in 2010 worse case scenario we go 14-2. I'd love for the NYGs to have to come to Lambeau to play as we need to get this "monkey" off our back. They've beat us 2x in the playoffs. The one thing Rodgers has yet to do is win a playoff game at home.
I hate that this much pressure has to be placed on QBs. I am not blaming you but I was thinking about this recently and Rodgers. Heck I am not even sure I have seen any QBs have a D as bad as Rodgers had last year. For all the bad D's the Colts had they never had one ranked DEAD LAST overall and in passing.
Rodgers has had an amazing career thus far. However if say the Packers go one and done again next year (God forbid) then the haters will be out in full force.
I feel like a playoff win is almost necessary next year. Not just for him but for this current Packers era.
I hate to feel that kind of pressure though. I hate it. You just never know what can happen; injuries, the ball does not bounce your way, the wrong opponent, a full moon......something/anything can happen in a one game elimination in the NFL.
Ugh.
As for the Giants I do think there might be a pesky NFC East opponent again next year. The SB winner since 2006 has played the NFC East in it's entirety. The NFC South is out since they have the AFC West jinx on them which goes back to 2002.
Something tells me the Pack could be doing battle with Giants/Eagles/Cowboys come January. (I am leaving the RG3s out of the mix for now)
Last year was a great ride for GB but losing the year after winning a SB.....you often get a pass since it is so tough to repeat. And the one and done vs. the Cards gets a huge pass by the offense. You can't put that on the offense for obvious reasons.
I just feel the pressure is on next year for several squads and Green Bay included. It will be an interesting battle.
