They've got the Packers and Larry Rodgers backed up deep in their own territory with little time left and so they play prevent defense (to prevent the Cowboys from winning), rush essentially nobody, play loose, and give the egotistical Rodgers all day to throw.

They are on a serious role. Its going to be a great NFC Championship game.

His first name is Aaron and he will be in the hall of fame. I'd probably rank him higher than Brady. I'm not sure you can really defend that throw. Amazing throw. Even better catch. Rodgers has been unconscious as of late. GB would have run away with the game if the refs hadn't missed so many blatant defensive holds in the first half. The worst one was when the Dallas defender had grabbed the jersey so hard the shoulder pads came out. What an ending, would have been even better if they had zoomed to the egotistical Jerry Jones in the owner's booth. Should be a good game next week but you have to think Atlanta will take it given how banged up Green Bay is.

How much time did he have to throw? Was he able to set his feet? Although the throw was right at the sideline, it didn't have to be, the receiver was wide open. Kind of like throwing practice with no pressure.

No doubt that Aaron Rogers is a great QB and headed for the Hall. Packers O-line has greatly contributed to his success. They are great athletes and coached very well: consistent big pocket formation gives AR more time than all but a few NFL QBs (e.g., Pretty Boy Brady), and when the pocket does break down it allows AR to roll right away from pressure, and he throws great from a rightward roll. If you watch the Packers much you'll know that AR is very rarely is forced to his left. Contrast RW who, because of 'Hawks substandard O-line, is forced to throw from all sorts of positions. IMO RW with Packers' O-line could average 400+ yards/game with at least as high a QB rating as AR. RW's athleticism has covered the fundamental flaws of 'Hawks' experiment of putting O-line at the very bottom of salary cap priority ladder. Time will tell whether Schneider reshuffles priorities as the defensive stars continue to age past their respective primes. If Earl were to retire, 'Hawks defense will require a complete rebuild. 'Hawks have plenty of potential but I just don't see them getting back into the Super Bowl with the current bargain basement O-line experiment.
