NFL playoff thread

Or the future of the NFL with RGIII and Wilson.

 

Almost looks like the 49ers are going a little soft defensively like they did during Week 1 at Lambeau. Those who forget the past ...

 

That'll do it.

 

This really is beautiful to watch.

 

How is Crabtree so wide open on that play? As as I type that, the Packers jump offside.

 

This game is so far out of reach, Musberger is looking for Kaepernick's girlfriend.

 

Definitely rooting for whichever team gets to play San Francisco.

 

So Kaepernick throws for 263 and two and runs for 183 and two...

Where does this rank with all-time playoff individual performances?

 

His rushing will be a playoff record for quarterbacks.

Kaep, I think, makes this list, and he is pretty high on it.

 

As a Packer fan, I do slurp Rodgers. He's now 5-3 in the playoffs and this does count against him. He only put up 17 points when it mattered and had way too many three-and-outs. His defense did him no favors but he also was not at his best.

The element that frustrates me the most is that the Packers have a window of one more year, maybe two. This team smacks of the 1998-99 version (as mentioned elsewhere here). Good enough to win the division but they have too many fatal flaws by January.

Kaepernick with a record-setting game. I think Harbaugh also is a master in this element: There is not enough "film" yet on Kaepernick on how to, consistently, beat him. After 7 starts, the book hasn't been compiled by the defensive coordinators yet. It may not come out until next year so the 49ers should enjoy this.

 

At home, in the divisional round?

It is clearly one of the greatest of all time.
