But, then again, I was since 2008. As were a lot of folks here. This is the sweetest victory for me since the SB against the Pats. So happy for #12 right now!

AR has been as good in his 3 postseason games numbers-wise as Joe Montana ever was in his. No SB's yet of course, but can the droolers now STFU about AR? Thanks.
31 completions 36 attempts 3 TD's passing 1 TD running.......Wow
He is as cool in the pocket as any QB I've seen. The way the makes the first guy miss is unbelievable. TT is looking like a genius right now.
We saw greatness tonight on the biggest of stages.
The chowderheads that booed Rodgers at Family Night 2008 and gave him crap deserve to be flogged publicly.
I really wish there was some marking on the foreheads of all the Favre swallowers that refused to embrace our QB and GM. If you picked Brett, you should be forever sentenced to life as a Queens fan.
I always knew in 15 years we'd laugh our balls off thinking that there was ever even a debate over the two. Never would have dreamed the argument would be over in three years.

outside of it being a Playoff game, was this his most dominant win ever?
It was about as 'signature' as signature wins get - on every level - team and individual.
WTF do the Nellies have left at this point?

I can't say enough about Rodgers and how thankful I am that he's our QB!
Outstanding performance tonight!

Ladies and Gentlemen, you're Green Bay Packers!
I am? Awesome!! When do the first checks arrive?
That was as good as you'll ever see a QB perform in a playoff game. Again, I don't think this is an overstatement: without taking the stage of the playoff game into account, THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST PLAYOFF PERFORMANCES BY A QB...EVER.
We are not worthy.
And I am extremely happy for the guy. He has earned it.

This guy will surpass TOG sooner than later.
I can only hope all those sap-sucking TOG fans are finally willing to acknowledge and honor Aaron Rodgers for being a great guy and even greater QB for the Green Bay Packers.
How much longer is he under contract?

Who is this Blair guy tonight? Did someone par cook your brats? Mix your martini's too strong? Give them a chance to show up. There may be a Waffle House open to get some food in your belly.
This kid is a combination of Montana and Young.
He won't take years off my life like Favre did.
I texted a buddy who is a Vikes fan telling him that maybe they can pick him up in 2025 at the end of his career.

I have been asking that same question. The return for the TD actually helped wear that defense out and laid the foundation for the 35 unanswered points. Great night for Packer fans.

You can complain all you want but Brent or Brett or whatever you want to call him but he was a great Packer. He might be a tool and a lot of other things but he was what he was and in 93, 94 95, 96 & 97 he was part of what made the Packers great. Beyond that is up for debate but come on man.

Is it OK to say that the Pack has now had/have three great QBs?
I bet half of those Assclowns are wearing #12 jerseys right now.
RodgersWatch: We should all take a moment to absorb this one. But my instinct is to suggest that we just watched one of the best postseason performances in a generation. Rodgers completed 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards and three touchdowns, finishing with a passer rating of 136.8. He ran for a fourth touchdown and, by my count, spun out of four would-be sacks with mobility that national observers are only beginning to appreciate. Oh, by the way, Rodgers has now thrown 10 touchdown passes in his first three career postseason games, an NFL record.

I sure as heck hope so. Hard to argue with tonight's great performance. Dickey was a decent QB as well.
It was an amazing performance on all levels:
1. Pinpoint accuracy (99%) of the the time anyway (the Junk screen is one he missed on off the top of my bald head).
2. Unbelievable escapeability.
3. Luck or skill. Some rockets that were just missed by the Dirty Birds.
4. The TD run. I suspect he learned that fake pass thing even after being across the line from Favre and he may use that trick better than 4.
5. He's a cool dude.

NFL.com listed it as the second best non-SB performance in 10 years behind Warner last year.
There will be a time to come to peace with Favre and what he did for this franchise. That time is not now. Now is time for "told you so" directly in the face of idiots who would not accept this team moving on and moving up.

Lynn should hold a special place in our hearts as well as the Majik Man but they weren't great...for whatever reasons...
Rodgers 86.1 completion % tonight was the 5th best in NFL playoff history

I agree. I just hate it getting in the way of enjoying this team. I can still enjoy the past and the present without it interfering because I am a fan of THIS TEAM. It rears it's head all of the time. I am sick of it.
Rodgers' game best in playoff history???
Aaron Rodgers is pretty good. Rodgers became the first quarterback in NFL history with over a 120 passer rating in his first two playoff starts last week. He did it for a third consecutive time against the Falcons on Saturday night, leading the Packers to a spot in the NFC Championship Game.
But where does his performance stack up in playoff history? Well, let’s narrow that down a bit. How about where does Rodgers’ outing (non-Super Bowl) rank among some of the best quarterback performances in the playoffs since 2000? Is there enough qualifiers there?
Let’s count it down. Surprisingly, former Browns QB Kelly Holcomb (vs. the Steelers in 2002) and ex-Giants QB Kerry Collins were both in consideration, but both fell just short.
Note: The years are done according to NFL season, not calendar year.
6. Chad Pennington vs. Colts, 2002 wild-card game: Pennington is one of the most maligned quarterbacks in recent memory. But he will be able to tell his grandchildren that he once outdueled Peyton Manning, going 19-for-25 with 222 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-0 win over the Colts.
5. Peyton Manning vs. Broncos, 2003 AFC Wild Card Game: Manning finally found his stride, going 22-for-26 for 377 yards and five touchdowns in the Colts’ 41-10 triumph. If you ever need a quarterback to beat an overmatched AFC West team in the playoffs, Manning has proven to be your man. The rest of the time in the playoffs, he’s about as consistent as Collins.
4. Kurt Warner vs. Eagles, 2008 NFC Championship Game: Warner led the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl appearance by completing 21 of 28 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns. The Cardinals hung on to beat the Eagles, 32-25, on Warner’s 8-yard touchdown pass to RB Tim Hightower.If you ever want to judge Warner’s impact, look at what happened to St. Louis and Arizona after he left.
3. Tom Brady vs. Jaguars, 2007 AFC Divisional Playoff Game: The Patriots were perfect during the regular season, and Brady was nearly perfect in knocking off the Jaguars. He went 26-of-28 for 262 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots’ 31-20 win.
2. Rodgers vs. Falcons, 2010 NFC Divisional Playoff Game: Rodgers has put the notion to rest that he is merely a fantasy enthusiasts dream. The Packers have scored 114 points in Rodgers’ three playoff games. Rodgers finished 31-of-36 for 366 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers even ran for a touchdown, too.
1. Warner vs. Packers, 2009 NFC Wild Card Game: If there was ever a game where you thought a team was going to score every time it touched the ball, this was it. Warner competed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards and five touchdowns. That’s right, more touchdowns than incompletions. And if the Cardinals’ defense had not won the game with a fumble return for a touchdown, Warner likely would have padded his stats. Warner’s 154.1 passer rating was the second-highest in playoff history.

I've never seen a QB deliver the ball with pinpoint accuracy while on the move any better than AR does. He seems to thrive and enjoy playing on the big stage and isn't prone to making the critical mistake like a certain other QB who used to play for the Packers.
