This was such a good game at a certain point I didn't care who won, but that we got our money's worth. Well, we got our money's worth. As for Manning vs Brady, not this year and maybe never but that would have made this a great AFC game. At least Ray Lewis will as they said, "live to fight another day".
Now I see why the nerds at ESPN thought Ray and his Ravens would go to Super Bowl this year but why not with 3 out of 5 years with incredible results. Could we go Harbaugh vs Harbaugh, which would be next best thing to Manning vs Manning.
In other game, what about Kap, dumb toss pick but then great long run. Maybe this game could prove to also be memorable.

just sickening. went from possibly putting the game at a comfortable distance to tied. Why do I like football?
Amazing but we still have 30 minutes and one team can run away with it. A close game would be much more fun, with SF getting the upset. But as far as upset the biggest underdog within the four games in the divisional round came off with a W. Nothing can top that and my hats off to Baltimore for beating Denver in Denver.
Kaep's running is soooo frustrating. Same thing happened 2 weeks ago AP ran all over the GB defense, they knew he was getting the ball and still couldn't stop him. Dom Capers living in the 90's
Just watching makes me think "what if" RG3 hadn't gotten his knee busted from the Ngata hit in Week 14
And yeah, GB's run DEF is like papyrus paper haha.
Pretty sad how GB have made no adjustments in containing Kaepernick - no spy, no nothing - it's just rush the QB which hasn't even come close to working.
Because he is? He's in that elite category with Brady, Manning and Brees. What's happening in the game is not the result of his play but poor defensive scheming. Generally, scoring 21 points or more is good enough if you have a defense that could actually stop something. Packers defense look like a bunch of rookies.

In a dynasty, three things happen which is great regular season records, trips to postseason, and championships. Green Bay and Rodgers are on cusp of that and there will be no argument if he gets one more Super Bowl.
The 70s Cowboys were a dynasty and they won two Super Bowls. The Vikings in that period and 90s Bills were also dynasties with no Super Bowls.
It's how it all comes together with all three of those. If Aaron never gets another Lombardi but gets to SB and loses, he and GB have earned dynasty tag, and Rodgers if he's up there with 100 rating at career end and taking the Packers a few more times to postseason will be hard to argue against as best all time in his position.
That being said with large SF lead, I don't count GB out until the very end. No team is scarier in 4th except for maybe Elway led Broncos many years ago.
even if GB had made it to the SB ... they are far from a dynasty. As I said, they won one superbowl as a one season winner, that's it. Same as Brett Favre and GB were not a dynasty.
Dallas was also a dynasty team when they were winning with Troy Aikman.
And yes Buffalo was a losing dynasty ... four time superbowl losers.
what are you talking about??? he was MVP last year and put up similar numbers this year. It's the complete garbage defense that has degraded this team so much
Eli
Oh, I forgot about him. Both Eli and Peyton.
Green Bay is only a couple of years removed from winning a Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers is fully capable of going back to the Super Bowl next year...if they upgrade that awful defense. So yes, he's still a dynasty-capable QB but you need help from other parts of your team.
You think Tom Brady made the Patriots a dynasty from 2001-2006? He had that stingy defense helping him.
Green Bay is starting to look like the Colts. High-powered offense, but a very bad defense that is masked by offense. It's time they really address this in the offseason.
talk to me when he wins something else moving forward ... Rodgers and GB are miles from dynasty status.
He doesn't even make it to Jim Kelly QB status ... and people want to compare him with Montana and Bradshaw.
Still doesn't change the fact that he is regarded as a dynasty QB. Obviously becoming one remains to be seen, but you ask anyone which QB's in the league are capable of making a run at a dynasty, I bet you Aaron Rodgers name comes up.
