yeah but unless Bobby Layne takes over Stafford's body and by some miracle they let Suh play vs. Dallas, it'll be another one and done year. But thanks for trying to be positive, even though I think you just want an easy NFC championship game and rub that in too lol


everyone is 0-0 in the playoffs, m8. no such thing as an "easy" playoff game especially for a team that's been bounced in their first or second game every year since 2011.

Ok. You picked 1 week out of the last 5... aka over the last month and that was against a Jimmy Clausen-led Bears team. Talk about riding the achievements in the first 2/3 of the season. Playoffs are about how you're playing NOW... not how you played on November 23rd.


Sorry, I tried to keep my examples to relevant running backs.
And That is not even true. I picked 2 games out of the last 5... and 1 of the last 5 was the GB. So I picked 2 games (both Chicago) out of the (other) last 4.

The other 2 teams were the Vikings in week 15 and the Bucs in week 14.

In week 14 we held Doug Martin to 22 yards and Charles Sims to -4 yards. Total 18 yards.
In week 15 we held Asiata to 36 yards rushing, 86 total.

In the past 5 weeks (Weeks 13 - 17) we held running backs to an average of 51.6 yards per game. And yes, the only outlier in the past 5 weeks (and the season) was Week 17. Our run defense is just fine.

You can quote me all you want. What I posted is a fact. We have the best rushing defense in the league. They have the best run game in the league. Should be an interesting game.

I think we match up just fine against the cowboys. If we lose this game it will be the same way as last week, by beating ourselves.

You honestly think our team even showed up? Our offense played horrible, and defense played bad for them too. You won by less than we won the first first meeting, but keep thinking your team is great, you'll be out of the playoffs just as fast as us.

Jesus Christ. I already said earlier that Green Bay played a good game.
But it was a 1 score game in the 3rd quarter until Joique Bell fumbled the ball, making it a 2 score game.
Not to mention 10 penalties.

you said GB played well and then immediately said that it was on Detroit. That's like apologizing for something and then saying it was my fault in the first place. just saw you post twice about how you guys didn't show up... which based on your recent offensive performances, that shouldn't really be a surprise as that has been an issue all year long aside from a couple games.

Caldwell said more than one team has reached out to Austin about a head coaching job
