True good job holding to 9 points but I saw a 40 year old backup carve up the secondary time and time again

What do you think Rodgers will do?


Giving up 162 yards passing isn't exactly "carving up the secondary." As a matter of fact, many of not most of those 7 sacks we recorded were due to coverage. With a few exceptions, like Flowers failure to turn around towards the pass on that PI call, I thought the secondary played pretty well. Of course, we have to qualify that by noting that Wentz left early in the game and McCown hasn't played more than a handful of plays for years.

I haven't a clue how our game with the Packers will pan out. One factor is the weather. As a rule, our team doesn't handle adverse weather conditions very well, but that's not a given. Hopefully we can get Brown and Iupati back, and hopefully the Packers don't line up a clone of Fletcher Cox.

Well, I wouldn't be busting my buttons over that stat. Russell's passing/rushing stats weren't that eye popping, a little over 300 yards passing and 45 yards rushing. The reason why Russell had such a high percentage of our offense is because we had just 17 yards rushing out of our running backs.


375 yards of total offense is pretty good, especially when he only threw 30 times. Having 96% of your teams total offensive yards is a very impressive individual stat, especially when you win a close game. It shows why he was in the MVP discussion the whole season and how he earned a 2nd team All-Pro nod. I agree that it isn't an impressive team stat though, but what did you expect when we're down to our 4th string RB, 3rd String TE, and 3 OL. At the end of the day RW needed every one of those yards. Hopefully we get our LG and LT back next game!!

LOL Yeah its not that eye popping to have the 2nd mos by % of a teams yards in a playoff game in NFL history at all. Or the most of any QB in the opening round which he had, in fact the only one with over 300 yards. And then the obligatory the only reason he had is because we got nothing our of our RBs, Then its good thing we got what we got form Wilson huh. Oh and its 325 not 300.

10 Qb played this weekend, Wilson had the most yards, most TDs, Highest YPA, fewest INts, Highest QBR, and 2nd highest Qb rating but hey no big deal LOL
