From a certain point of view?
Star Wars reference.

A few reasons to think Rodgers can turn it on.
1 - 2nd half of game 1 vs CHI last year. OL gave him time and he made it happen with essentially the same players.
2 - MIN and CHI 2x this year.
3 - At KAN this year.
4 - He has a running game and DEF to lean on.
my bet would be on someone like Jamal Williams. if we're pounding the ball and {gasp} marginalizing Holdie McBallerson at QB , hes primed to come in and punish a defense that has planned to see a heavy dose of Jones. when he spells Jones, Jamal could be facing a worn down D.
Tonyan would be another, giving Rodgers the security blanket throws that he needs. Not sure why we're seeing so much of the Graham Cracker. Hes got lead boots on and is plain awful.
Not sure another receiver is going to be a hero, as im guessing 90% of the WR targets will be Tae & Lazard
Tyler Ervin could sneak into the limelight though. Kid looks decent
that my guesses on offense for players who could have multiple TDs in the playoffs
On D, id look for a pick 6 from someone like Sullivan or a multisack game(s) from Fackrell or Gary to be a surprise

Depends on the kind of D he sees in the playoffs. Will NO be vulnerable with all their injuries? Before anyone says "but MIN D and CHI D", those teams were both offensively challenged in those games. KC D was also not playing well. Probably won't be the case vs. NO.
What I'm saying is it's gonna be a steeper hill to climb.
Hopefully he's throwing the ball somewhere in the 28-35 attempts range instead of 45-55. He seems to be most effective when he's able to hit the key plays we need and let the running game fill in the rest.
Adrian Amos.
He's a real pro and has experience int he playoffs, unlike most of GBs defense.

BUT, I'm saying NO has not won anything yet. I, for one , hope the Vikings beat them. I also hope the Eagles beat the Hawks.
My perfect playoffs would be the packers avenging two of their three losses on their way to the SB.
so, I am a Vikings and Eagles fan this weekend.
Next weekend, it is the 49ers and Pack winning. Setting up the second meeting between them.
Then it is the Pack to the SB. Against the Chiefs.
New Orleans fans are already checking the weather for next week in green Bay. They are more arrogant in looking past Minnesotat than typical Viking fans and their delusions. I am defintely pulling for the Viking today. Go Vikings! cough,cough
The Vikings are welcome to go today. It'll just be too bad for them that the game is tomorrow. 
I will not pull for the Vikings even if they are playing the Iranian women's B-league football team!

Atta Boy!

OUCH! That really had to hurt! Why do that to yourself?
NFC playoffs...
MN at NO = NO wins
SEA at PHI = SEA wins
SEA at SF = SEA wins
NO at GB = GB wins
SEA at GB = GB wins
Sorry to ruin the suspense.

I am still reeling. But, I am looking at the big picture of our Packers having the chance to avenge 2 of our losses on the season. The Eagles and the 49ers. No way the Vikings get a W in San Fran. Meaning the Packers could be playing in 9 er land in two weeks.
who woulda thunk the Patriots lose to the Titans? NO ONE.
Yet, there they are..... One and done. The END
The end of all things related to the Patriots, they win 9 games next season.
its the postseason, everything is possible
Well in the Pick'um Pool Driver's an CoPackFan picked the Titans.
I changed my pick from Titans to Pat's because wayyyyy too many people predicting the "upset" of Titans over Pat's. The masses got this one.
Although I did bet the Titans at +200. Now let's see if the Vikings upset the Saints.
I always thought Buffalo would beat Texans. 16-0 lead. LOL....Good games yesterday. Hope we see more today.

Gotta agree. I think the best thing for the pack is to play Philly next week
Personally, I'm just excited to see what kind of gameplan they pull out. I don't know if they'll be able to spring some of the KC plan again but hopefully lining Jones and Ervin up outside in the past few weeks will keep defenses guessing.
Like Ervin outside. He’s what MVS was supposed to be, partially
For me in the Seattle game, has to be Veldheer. Like the options going forward if injury strikes.
So far no real surprises on who the "hero" is or was as relates to Seattle.
It's all Z & P w/Adams & Rodgers
My surprise pick for the NFC Championship game is going to be Raven Greene
Savage and Alexander. Both are dynamic young players. One of them will get a pick-6.
Agree that Veldheer is the winner so far. Next week I'm guessing it's gonna be a WR. Don't think Lazard qualifies as a surprise so I will go with WWJ if anyone.
I think Dean Lowry will surprise us with a pick 6 after Opie and our STs buries Garapollo & Company, deep in their territory, near the goal line.
Tyler Ervin has been more and more involved in game plans. I think they have some special stuff planned for him.
Jimmy Graham is the winner thus far. He was clutch!
