Bad way to end a half, Atlanta.

This is why I don’t like how QBs are judged by team playoff success. Aaron Rodgers is laughing at that right now, and Ryan is crying about it.

I’m pretty happy with it.

Indeed. Green Bay has looked much better than Atlanta for 85% (I MADE THAT UP!!) of this game.

Rodgers looks like a freaking cadaver when they show a close up of his face, but he is playing great.

Jesus, Atlanta is just imploding here.

Nawid_A · 2011-01-15T19:20:08.000Z

Well, this game is done.

ckessel · 2011-01-15T19:22:25.000Z

Rodgers is damn impressive. Every throw, even those on a flat out run, are hitting the receivers right on the numbers.

robsam · 2011-01-15T19:29:28.000Z

Yep, I’m grudgingly putting Rodgers in my top five NFL QB’s I wish my team had. He should have been sacked fifteen times tonight, yet rolled away from the defender and completed a pass instead. Green Bay-New England Super Bowl? Probable.

In fact, I’ll guarantee it. I will be cheering for the Jets and Seattle tomorrow, the way my luck has been this year I’ve probably doomed both of them before kickoff.

robsam · 2011-01-15T19:36:32.000Z

Oh hell, it just hit me, there is a very good chance the Steelers will win their SEVENTH Super Bowl…in the Cowboys home stadium! shakes fist at the sky

I may have to cheer for New England in the AFC title game. These playoffs are just full of suck.

Woolen_Horde · 2011-01-15T19:44:03.000Z

Wow, the Falcons are nuts. It’s way to early to do an onside kick, especially when GB has its hands team on the field. Congrats, you’ve just given AR the ball in your territory.

Rivers
Rodgers
Vick

I agree, but Green Bay has been sooooo much better than Atlanta tonight, and Atlanta came soooooo close to making that play. Why not roll the dice? If GB misses this fg…and they just did!!! Atlanta still has almost no chance, but a quick td here will certainly stir things up a bit.

Aaron Rodgers is fantastic. 49ers fans cry a little bit every snap he takes. Top ten QBs for fun:
peyton manning
tom brady
phillip rivers
drew brees
michael vick
aaron rodgers
ben roethlisberger
josh freeman
matt ryan
matt cassell

Thats unranked.

Oh damn you with your “that’s unranked” quote at the end, I was about to disagree with you vehemently!

Brady/Manning/Rivers/Brees is without question. Vick IMO needs at least one more good season to prove himself - let’s not forget that before this season he was only slightly above average at best. Rodgers and Roethlisberger belong on that list for sure. I’m not sure about the rest.

Mightynute · 2011-01-15T20:06:30.000Z

ANOTHER turnover. This is turning into an outright mugging.

robsam · 2011-01-15T20:15:22.000Z

You don’t get mugged in the ATL. You get murdered. And the Falcons just got murdered.

Eh? He was a poor passer prior to this season, but he’s always been a huge offensive threat.

I chose Josh Freeman because he finished up the season in a pretty beastly way. The guy has a bright future.

I actually don’t know shit about Ryan (I don’t think I watched a single Falcon game this season prior to tonight) but he did just get into the Pro Bowl and get some MVP votes.

Cassell was the biggest stretch. KC had a really easy season (they did not beat a single team with a positive record) but his numbers were pretty impressive. I like Fitzpatrick and Stafford as well. Fitzpatrick had some bad games but he generated that offense out of nothing. Stafford was great this season when he played. McNabb could sneak in there if he shows that 2010 was a fluke. Same with Eli. Flacco and Bradford are getting babied too much for a top ten spot. I don’t think Bradford deserves ROTY either. Tebow had a promising start and Romo is decent as well. Cutler is also not nearly as bad as perceived.

sluggo · 2011-01-15T20:25:47.000Z

And so we’ve reached the awesome Twilight Zone scenario where if Seattle wins tomorrow – against a team they’ve already beaten this season – a team that went 7-9 would HOST the NFC Championship next week.

And I’ll be rooting for them, because I would love to see that stadium going berzerk.

I have to say, as a football fan and a Packers fan, that Aaron Rodgers just played one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen a quarterback play. 31 of 36 passing on the day?

How are Rodgers and Tramon Williams not in the Pro Bowl?

And it wasn’t like sat in a well protected pocket either with all day to throw. He had to scramble a bunch.

Pro Bowl is a joke sir. RUN DMC didn’t make it either.
