You know what the Packers could use. A third down back like Kevin Faulk, Woodhead, or Vereen. Lacy is a good back, but I think having a guy who you can use as a weapon in the passing game would do wonders for Rodgers. It's another guy they can match up especially when they go five wide.

every QB could use that, but they aren't as easy to find as saying "hey i think we'll pick up a danny woodhead this year". for every danny woodhead, there are tons of lemichael james'/etc

Think about this then. Stick with your 48% number even if I think its low for aaron rodgers and how the Packers have done this year.
What are the odds that a 5 seed beats a 2 seed on the road? I bet it's less than 48%.

Kind of have that with Cobb and Montgomery (both were hurt), small quick WRs that can line up in the backfield.
But yeah, I agree. Definitely a dimension that would help.
That's a fair point.
no you suck, friend.
Are people really arguing that they should've went for two after the 2pt conversion? Lmao. Please just stop, maybe for a regular season game, it'd take some gigantic balls to do that in the post season. But of course if you convert, you're the hero.
After that miracle, just thank whatever fucking force out there that you even got that and go into OT.
If you don't stop them in overtime, then you don't deserve to win. Plain and simple, Fitz was thinking nothing but end zone that entire drive. I'm so happy for the dude, would've sucked if Palmer choked on his team and robbed them of any chance.

Well if we're sticking to this year (as you wanted to do 2 posts ago), 100% of road teams won their playoff games last weekend.
So, it looks like 100%.
Just trolling.
I agree with you -- go for 2, on the road ESPECIALLY Given the scenario where Green bay was mostly outplayed all game and had to rely on extreme fortune to even have a chance. But it's not like going for 2 was some sure thing, while going into overtime was a forelorne loss. All I'm saying is McCarthy doesn't deserve to be fired for playing the most likely scenario for his team to win. Unless you think Mike PEttine would be a better coach than McCarthy. Or maybe Jim Tomsula.
Only way you go for the two is if your D is New Orleans esque and your offense is playing lights out, neither was the case.

McCarthy made the 100% correct call. The defense had been playing well and they shit the bed on a broken down defensive play. Sometimes that's just how it goes. They even had a chance with 1st and goal and still didn't stop them.
Also the OT rules are fine and a million times better than the old rules where a field goal wins it.
This Packers team has seriously outperformed what talent we have on our squad by getting as far as we did. I don't know how you could have watched the Packers this season and come to any other conclusion. We felt like a 5-11 or 6-10 team most game days.

Exactly. Everyone saw in the regular season where the Cards smoked GB. GB really had like a 10% to win this game. Yet when they get an opportunity to win the game, they would rather extend the game and hope that their fortune continues. If you are NE playing the NYJ, you extend the game. More often than not, the better team prevails. If the worst team is satisfied with continuously prolonging the game, sooner or later they will lose.

I agree with this man. Last year I felt sick to my stomach after the loss, this year I feel proud of our team. We took them to overtime with nothing but rookie WRs and one James Jones that turned invisible. I can't feel bad about this game, we did the best we could. Going for 2 would be ridiculed beyond belief if we (likely) failed to convert.

I hope you choke on ketchup
Yeah I fixed one before, so it's not a big deal I guess.
Elite qb, and what many who watch/study football believe to be the best qb in the game so the expectation is always going to be super bowl or bust regardless of the talent around him.

Feels werid we are now one of those SB or bust team and probably will be for the duration of the Russell era.
Oh well it's better than the playoff or drink era....

This is true, but it's a great problem to have. We already won one with Rodgers, I'm not so greedy to feel we are entitled or deserve more. I do think we will win another before he retires (I imagine him lasting to 37/38, he won't be Favre as he relies to much in his legs).
Next year we get Nelson back, Janis should be made a starter, Cobb hopefully can be a good producer again as #2 without double coverage. I don't think we bring jones back.

my blood is boiling. big hairy pussy mike mccarthy. the odds of winning the game were zilch before the game started and instead of attempting for the win with extemely higher odds than you had before the game started, you hit the reset button and start over in OT. What a fool.

lmao LA radio guys proceeded to pull up a mock draft, remark at the fact they'd never seen one before, marvel at it having the Rams taking Treadwell and be interested in it, before ultimately dismissing it saying the team needs a QB

I hope FiveThirtyEight does an article on how dumb it was to not go for the win.
They had ARZ at 66% to win(highest of any playoff game thus far), highest ELO out of the playoff teams, and highest probability to win the super bowl.
As much as I don't like overtime rules, that was all about the blown coverage on Fitzgerald.
I think Fitzgerald deserves a ring after all that work he's put in over the years.
I'm also drunk as shit at a dive bar where illicit things are clearly happening, so what do I know.

I think so. Hail Mary delivered, punch it in for two and steal the game.
But I also think getting two yards to win the game is a bet I'd take every time.

Mine's still kicking but I'm scared. I still got a backlog on that thing.
Also, lol at the idea of going for two at the end of the game. Blame the Packers D for not getting the sack and letting Fitz tear them apart.

This is so stupid. Eagles beat pats, bills, jets, and had a big lead against fins before Bradford got hurt.
