Amazing comeback for Jordan Love!

Can the Packers actually have a third superstar quarterback in a row?

I was calling Love as Brett Huntley 3. O earlier in the season.

Glad to be proven wrong!

It was an exciting stretch thru the final season!

Gopac Go!
Armchair quarterback!

Forget all the team records and stats, Its the playoffs and for us it's Cinderella Week 1: Cowboys and their 8-0 record at home...
But as they say, "Streaks come to sudden stops surprising everyone." Because those records mean nothing any more. Hopefully they're looking past us.
Nobody on the cowboys wants to beat the Packers more than Mike McCarthy. Do we have a shot? We wouldn't be going there if we didn't !
GPG !

The biggest challenge for McCarthy will be convincing his team to take the Packers seriously…and they better. The Packers are gonna give them a run for their money.

I hope they don't take them seriously!

I hope they waste all their time watching tape of the games where the Packers were without Jones, Watson, Musgrave, Campbell and Alexander.... and when Barry was dialing up soft zones and 3 man rushes.

.... in short, none of what was effective the past 2 weeks.

How profound!

After 2 painful ends of year, this has the potential to exorcise many a demon for the Packers!

Imagine in one season:

1) QB of the future (tick)
2) Restocked offensive weapons (tick)
3) Won an win-and-in game to make playoffs (tick)
4) Affirm why a Head Coach was let go (??????)

Make no mistakes, THIS is MLF's test for the year - plan a successful Cowboys win......... or perhaps ensure a continued execution of the last 2 weeks.

1. Qualification - The most important thing is that Packers qualified to the playoffs. Doesn't matter who we play (maybe except Eagles who are bleeding more and more and I would like to face them if possible). We were not contenders, playoffs was the positive scenario and we have it! We have it, next to winning record, QB for future, loaded WR room, TE room which is our strenght and some more.
2. Experience - Young guys have a bit of their success in the books. It is also a big lesson for them - atmosphere, hype, hope for another step forward. Next years they will know it all - they've been there before. Some teams work for years to earn it.
3. Cowboys - All the series, season records don't matter now. All is nullified, a new season begins. All teams are 0-0. Dallas is a better team (probably) than we are, more matured, with better stats. Prescott is having a great season, Lamb is stellar, but "any given Sunday" didn't come from nowhere, there are reasons for this quote. Look at our 2020 and 2021 seasons. If the stronger always won, we'd have 2 Super Bowls in recent years and teams with losing record would never beat the winning ones. That is the beauty of the sports. There are favorites on paper, but winners are identified on the field. Sometimes one play shifts momentum to this extent that the team can't overcome it. It may end up ugly like in 2019 against SF, but we earned the right to try our chances. From this point we can only have a surplus.

We continue to play with house money. Not many seriously thought we would make the playoffs. I just hoped we had another great QB and it appears we have.

They are so exciting to watch.

We will be underdogs going to Dallas and that is just fine by me. We have nothing to lose and let's play loose. I know we will give them a good game and we should lose but.....

I feel that Packers play better as underdogs and seem more focused as shown against Det and KC. The key is to score early to put pressure on dallas.
