2016 (Team 96) NFC Championship Game: GB @ Dirty Birds 2:00 LFT - GDT

Packers secondary should just waive white flags at the beginning of each play. 

Funny that Aikman just basically said Gunther isn't an NFL level player. And he's guarding Julio Jones. 

Remember when we laughed at the Falcons for drafting Julio Jones?

We need a few more short armed defensive picks. Yeah, it usually does matter.

Ugh. Our defense is terrible. 

What happened to Joe Thomas? Was the dude always this big of turd?

I'm going to wash all my windows with windex. That'll show those dirty birds.

Halfway through the season and how we were beat by Washington I did not think we could get even this close!

Not sure how this relates to Dom Capers resume here, but, ok.

He's good, but if it wasn't him the other guys are wide open too. 

Ted will release Shields to save 9 Million, and then do nothing with that $$(other than resign his own), he never does. So what's the point??

Brice, Hyde, and Taylor out for the game. The injuries never end with this team. That's what makes losing in 2014/15 to the Seahawks even worse because we were the healthiest we've been in a long time that year. 

He turned and looked!!!! WTF?!

450 yards surrendered and we are in the 3rd quarter.

Domfense 

That was a BS call. 

Nice call. LOL!

Terrible call

Too early

Good thing they didn't go with the onsides kick!  Why, Atlanta might have scored!

No freaking way! THIS builds character. This is how a defense learns and grows. Never never never ever give up!

Except for our most important player - Rodgers

And yeah, a defender cannot play it better than that and he gets flagged.

My first mock

True MP2. I forgot about his hammy/leg injuries at the end of the year.

0 for 4 in turnover chances. 

Thats a PI.

Sam Shields is getting the "backup QB" treatment. He never made a Pro Bowl. His best season was arguably his rookie year when Woodson and T. Williams were starting. He averaged about 3 picks a year and was a challenge flag away from being on a Dez Bryant poster for all eternity. Is he better than the flotsam the Packers are trotting out there now? Sure. But that speaks for itself. And he can't play both CB spots at once.

He surely isn't the difference between HFA throughout the playoffs and 4th seed.

Did you actually watch him play? 3-4 times a year he'd chase down a guy from way behind. The guy could run. He might not have been Darrell Revis, but he was a good corner. 

He could run indeed. He was a starting caliber NFL corner. He was paid like one. He wasn't a great player and he wasn't the difference in the Packers record and home field. I watched Julio Jones light up the Packers secondary for 259 yards in 2014 when Shields was there.

Lack of talent and constant mental errors, not injuries, is what ails the Packers CB's.

Give Morgan Burnett some credit - he's playing hurt and he's played hard. 

Randall and Gunther not so much. 

That's a touchdown.

Go for it!!!

Yep, that was an epic meltdown. Those red zone FG's were as much responsible.

This game was more than injuries. It ended with Crosby's kick last week.

Sooner or later that **** catches up

Every bounce has gone Atlanta's way. You expect to recover 4 onside kicks in a row? Kicking away was the right call.

That's a TD and it puts us over our 35 point playoff loss avg..   Don't give up now Dom, stack success and get the avg up to 40!

Gunter plays hard, he's just over matched. I have some doubts about Randall & if he has the maturity & mental toughness to justify his first round status

Nice to see a President on TV.

The Packers need a young, creative DC and a new strength and conditioning coach.

0 sacks

0 interceptions (despite 2 gimmes)

1 fumble in the redone. 

If Ripkowski doesn't fumble, Crosby doesn't miss a FG and other pick happens, it's at worst 24-13 right now. That's the NFL - if guys don't make plays when given the opportunity (and I'm not even counting Ryan's non-fumble recovery) close games turn into routs. 

Given the momentum factor (such as teams playing loose with a big lead), I actually think it may have been a winnable game had the FG been made and Rip not fumbling.

Reminds me of Bellicheck.  Always says the same thing.

We made more plays than they did.

Has Atlanta ever made more plays.  And the Packers did not make so many plays that were right in their pocket.

2009 Warner has more touchdowns than incompletions. 

2011 statistically the worst defense in NFL history. 

2012 and 2013 destroyed by Colin Kaepernick. 

2014 one of the biggest chokes in NFL history.

2015 80 yards for a TD in about a minute of overtime.

2016 almost 300 yards of offense in one half.  37 points and counting. 

We should not be surprised. At all. Just another in the long line of epic McCarthy and Capers fails. Capers will be back again next year and we will be talking about the same stuff after yet another playoff collapse.

Even if we don't score again this game might cover the over.

Not arguing with that. I'm simply saying that the injuries never seem to end with this team. Not using it as the ultimate excuse for anything.
