I'm at peace with losing to the Super Bowl champs.  And holding them to the fewest yards and points of any team in the playoffs, including a gift short-field TD courtesy of the refs.

Arguably you could say that the Packers looked the best against them of any team the Eagles played.

Despite their occasional disfunction, the Eagles were by far the most talented roster heading into the playoffs (Lions would've been in that conversation if not for all their injureis) - with good gameplans and efficient play from Hurts, they proved just that.

You can thank Saquon's mercy for that.

Anyone else still think we should pass on Garrett?

During the regular season the Packers had more sacks than the Eagles (45 to 41), more knockdowns (43 to 41), and more pressures (143, 22.1% vs 111, 17.9%) against a similar strength of schedule (3rd for Packers, 5th for Eagles).

I wouldn't turn down Garrett if the price is right, but I wouldn't give up the future for him either based on one game against a non-common opponent.  Packers don't need to beat the Chiefs to get to the Super Bowl, they need to beat the Eagles.  And with Hurts, you need to keep him in the pocket which means staying in your rush lanes which means sacrificing some of your pass rush.  Otherwise, you give him a running lane and he's running for more yards than Barkley.

Yea, he got the assignment because of his name.  Shame for the announcers who are actually good at their job.  This broadcast is painful.

I want to give Brady a chance, but more and more I miss Gregg Olson as their #1 analyst.  I wonder how he feels about his demotion.
