If the Packers would have come away with more than 6 points in their first 3 trips inside the red zone last night, they would have won. That's not on the kicker....

Absolutely, they should have done better. Bottom line he is not a great place kicker. Jonses was getting positive yards on almost every touch, give him the ball. also, they have not had a lot of luck with the brotherly shove, aka, the thush push.

^ agreed, some of it's on the kicker, but if you want to win a playoff you have to be able to punch it in when it counts

either way, the Packers were pretty much counted out mid-season and they proved a lot of folks wrong

ditto on the Bills mid-season, I'm hoping though that the Bills can continue their run :D

Jordan love firing ducks at the end back to reality. Not the kickers fault and believe me I love blaming kickers like Gary Anderson

^ he wasn't the only one firing ducks; I'm confident that wasn't Brock's all time best performance
Yup, the D backs dropped two interceptions that Brock put in their hands. I do believe the Pack put the rest of the league on notice for next season. Love is in for a big pay raise, come contract time, which I think in this year.

As a Vikings fan, the emergence of Jordan Love has made me sick. How can GB keep getting away with this?
The question is, why can't the Vikings do the same thing??? You have to go back to Fran Tarkenton to find a QB who was consistent for many years. The original scrambler, he drove teams crazy with it. I think he especially enjoyed doing to the Packers.

The biggest key IMO.......their offensive line. Love had a ton of time and very little pressure all night. Even average QB's can look great with a good line and a good running game. GB has both. As do the 49'ers........at least when Trent Williams is playing. Every one of the 49'ers losses this season were when he was out.

Don’t worry he will regress next year back to normal. They played a soft schedule at the end of the year last 5 games of the regular season only one was against a winning team and they lost.

You nailed it, barring a wizard QB that can evade pressure constantly, it doesn't matter what poor sucker the vikes trot out there.

Anyways /endrant. Back to discussing good teams

Go back to last 10 games, they beat the, Rams, Chargers, lions, KC,. Won 7 of ten. Yes there were some cake walks in there. But all teams have that in their schedules.

True dat, and the reality of it is Love played great the last half of the season, yet the talking heads act like he's the next Rodgers or Favre. Give me a break! That last pass attempt of Love's was absolutely horrible, he rolled out of the pocket, wasn't under duress, and thru the ball across the field into double coverage, off his back foot. If there's anything that's talked about, it should be that play and his decision making, because that's what determined the outcome of that game IMO.
