And we had 3 INTs from Brady.  He had 12 during the regular season.  We had plenty of opportunities.  The defense needed to hold them to less than 25.

they were close.   Hard to stop a team when they start the drive inside the 10.

spot on.   Should have been 17 -10 at half at the worst.   GB getting the ball to start the 2nd half and goes fumble with return inside the 10 for the quick TD.  

resulting in a 28-10 game.  Exactly like week 6.  At least we got back into it but that's a huge hole to climb out of

Rodgers can only blame himself, he could have run the in unless Suh could run him down from 4 yds behind over 9 yards,..

It was JPP, who would have run him down. 

 

But yes,  he still should have run it. Would have made it a "must go for it" 4thdown..

SI -  For the fourth time since winning the Super Bowl in 2010, the Green Bay Packers lost in the NFC Championship Game.

It’s like Groundhog Day for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

Groundhog Day to Week 6, when the Packers were smashed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-10.

Groundhog Day to last year’s NFC Championship Game, when the Packers were destroyed 37-20 in a rematch against the San Francisco 49ers.

And Groundhog Day to the 2011 playoffs. The Packers went 15-1 that season and Rodgers had arguably the greatest quarterbacking season in NFL history. The No. 1 seed and defending Super Bowl champions were stunned at home by the New York Giants 37-20 in the divisional round. Hakeem Nicks’ 37-yard touchdown on a Hail Mary to end the first half sent the Packers reeling into the locker room with a 20-10 deficit.

On Sunday, Rodgers – coming off one of the great quarterbacking seasons in NFL history – finally had homefield advantage for an NFC Championship Game. However, it was a repeat of so many other playoff disappointments for a team that has won so many games but never can win the really big one.

if they stop that on fourth down, theyre at the 10, more favorable field position than with potentially 40 seconds left at your own 10

But we have to get 2 pt conversion to tie than rather than 6 to win... getting the 2 pointer was what swayed the calculation...
