guys! IM WORRIED ABOUT AN UNCAPPED 2010 and the possibility for NO FOOTBALL AT ALL IN 2011!!!! this could really cut into the Pack’s SB potential as presently constituted… seriously, can we compete in an uncapped season?@!?@
Rodg is sick, SICK I SAY!, but his window is not huge considering he needs the weapons he currently has, and we need a resurgent D to win it all in a few years. Can this be done with the CBA upheaval we should expect this offseason and nexT???

Yes, there may have been some blown calls, but this is the price you pay for not having home field advantage. There is no place on earth where there are more “Homer” ref calls than at Lambeau Field. Sunday’s departures only put a dent into that ratio.
Maybe give the edge to the Kohl center in Madison as evidenced by the Badgers horrific “away” record over the last ten years.
I think sportswriter M. Hunt jinxed you in his article criticizing Kurt Warner’s age. Bad mistake.
Hello !! Who was the octagenarian that just left GB short while ago?
I frankly can’t understand the moaning. You have young QB that 30 other teams would die for, who produced under the worst possible “acts to follow” scenario of all time. The free agency, lack of loyalty, and non-contract years for the big stars, all play a role in parity that will never allow a run as in the golden years. Relax and drink a Pabst

“If a penalty was called on that play, you’d have to throw the flag, and then determined, when did the foul occur? That makes a big difference in this case because it’s really close,” Carollo explained.

File this under "Facts in evidence": this picture shows the hands-to-the-face happening while the ball is still in the air, clearly before the Cardinals got posession. D∈T

i dont even care about this- what worries me is that because we got to the play-offs- i fear we wont address the things that need to be fixed- i fear the next 4 years are going to be a waste doing the same then Rodgers will be getting to the end of a career. i feel hes good enough to give us multiple superbowls but he needs a massive o-line and we need some D fixes-till that happens no SB period.

Dan,
I didn’t find that piece of evidence, it was broadcast on national television to a record-setting audience. And I’m not suggesting that anyone “cling to” it. Indeed, I wrote: “I’m certainly sympathetic to the argument that it doesn’t do much good to dwell on blown calls” and not that it was worth “a moment” to discuss it. Finally, the headline of the post makes clear it’s also about Aaron Rodgers and the future of the Packers, and I introduced that section by calling his comments “most interesting.”

We love a good debate, but I often find it’s more productive when commenters read posts before criticizing them.

You are acting like Packer fans and media are the only ones discussing it. Yet, it’s been commented on in a number of national media outlets.

Nor is it the only thing that has been discussed here and other Packer sites regarding why we lost. Capers’ defensive scheme, Lee and Finley running the same route on the interception in the first quarter, Rogers missing Jennings on the first pass in OT, etc. But the officials made a questionable call and it affected the game. It bears discussion. Especially given that we won’t be having much Packer news for awhile.

The debates over the blown calls will be fun to dwell on in the off season but the fact is that we have an unbelievably classy and gifted quarterback. He will lead this team to some great places in the future. I would want to play for a guy like we have.

Okay. So now that you found that piece of “evidence” is something for Packer fans to continue to cling on to. Maybe we should have Green Bay fly their team down to New Orleans and replay the down against Arizona and pickup the overtime from there. The the winner can start the game against WhoDat Saints.

I am not a crushed as I expected. Pack made tons of improvements this year, and played tough. I’m ready for the 2010 season then they make there real run for the Lombardi. They’re better than the 93 Packers, maybe not quite the 94 Packers yet. But, just like those teams they are on their way to the big one in either 2010 or 2011.
