What a great night!
The Packers are in the NFC Championship game, their first of the Aaron Rodgers era.
The team didn't just beat the Falcons on Saturday night. They dominated. Dominated isn't strong enough. The Packers pulverized them, 48-21.
It was fantastic!
I like what Deion Sanders had to say about Rodgers' performance.
DEION SANDERS: We can chalk it up any way you want, Coach. We can talk about what Atlanta didn't occupy, what they didn't have, but it all points down to Aaron Rodgers. This guy was an absolute man amongst men today. His pocket presence, his mobility, his arm strength, his decision-making process - this guy was the complete package, the total package.
All you people who doubted this organization when they did away with Brett Favre: How you like him now? How do you like the situation the Green Bay Packers are in today?
I LOVE IT!
From the Green Bay Press-Gazette:
Aaron Rodgers, Tramon Williams and the rest of the Green Bay Packers stormed into the rowdy Georgia Dome on Saturday night and gave the NFC’s top-seeded Atlanta Falcons a brutal playoff whuppin’.
The white-hot Rodgers blistered Atlanta’s defense drive after drive with playmaking scrambles and pinpoint passing, and Williams made two game-turning plays late in the second quarter to propel the Packers to a dominating 48-21 win over the Falcons in the divisional round of the playoffs.
“It was a special day,” Rodgers said of the Packers’ blowout. “We kind of did what we wanted to do.”
Next for the Packers, who are 12-6 and maybe the league’s hottest team, it’s on to Chicago or Seattle for the conference championship and a chance to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since January 1998, when the franchise’s bid for back-to-back championships was short circuited by the Denver Broncos.
The second-seeded Bears and fifth-seeded Seahawks play Sunday afternoon at Chicago for the right to host the sixth-seeded but ultra-confident Packers.
“We’re a championship-caliber football team,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “We talked about it before the Philadelphia game, we have 16 quarters on our mind, we’ve completed eight of them, we have an opportunity to play in four more next week, and we feel very good about who [we] are, the way we play and our brand of football.”
You gotta believe.
I do.

During the first part of the game it sure didn't look like the game was going to go the way it did. The Packers didn't get rattled. They looked good.
Now all we need is the Bears to put it to the lowly Seahawks and the Jets to perform a miracle.
Go BEARS!!!
home grown & raised on the Pack. I will always be a Packer fan & rooting for a big win next week! a super bowl fight would be sweet. Tho I still have Favre as my long time QB. Rodgers is now the leader of the pack & yesterday showed us he can step it up. I wrote my 2cents here
