Honestly, there's an aspect to this that is very depressing to me as a Packers fan.  

Philadelphia has made 3 Super Bowls with the likes of Jalen Hurts and Nick Foles in a span of 6-7 seasons. It kinda makes that "the Super Bowl is hard to get to" refrain fall flat as an excuse for why the Packers haven't been there in 15 years. 

And they had a number of teams good enough to do it. Three appearances with 30 years of Favre and Rodgers just flat out isn't very good.

Burks certainly making a name for himself this postseason, or has he always been this good since leaving Green Bay because if so, that doesn't look good on us.

he is really bad against the run.

Yeah but are they the youngest team in the league?

Yeah, he’s a core special teamer filling in on D due to injury whose career highlight before today was that he ran flat out into Nixon while leading with the helmet. I’m not losing any sleep about letting him go, and next year he will be forgotten.

I lived through all of Favre and Rodgers and I've seen the Eagles play in more Super Bowls than the Packers. Pretty disturbing reality and a very bad reflection on the Packers.

If Josh Allen’s first two throws are any omen for how this game is going to go, it’s not going to be any prettier than the first game.

Hence my sarcasm. I totally agree.

McDermott is going to end up losing his job for the same reason that Matt Lafleur will one day. Great regular season teams that can never get over the last hump.

And it couldn’t happen to a better fan base.

The fact that somewhere, that cretin that berated that female Packers fan  for three straight hours now gets to be happy is sickening. Gag me…

The NFL has a graveyard full of them.

I think that if a few years ago the Eagles lost Lane Johnson essentially for his career and Landon Dickerson for the playoffs, I don't think that they go to three Super Bowls.

They literally went to one of them with their backup QB playing in the playoffs. And that's the year they won. 

Sorry, but Bhaktiari's injury at the very least, was not an excuse for losing a home playoff game to a .500 team as 1 seed with the MVP.

Every team has to deal with injuries on the journeys. They won a Super Bowl with Nick freaking Foles as their starting quarterback.

It's almost like they have a sound organizational structure built to withstand the loss of one or two guys rather than strap all hopes to one superstar. Crazy. 

At least it seems like that's what the Packers are trying now.  Just not as good at it.

I remember the year the Packers won the Super Bowl, they lost Charles Woodson to a broken collarbone relatively early in the Super Bowl, but they preserved and won it. In fact, they dealt with major injury problems that season. 

If injuries will forever be our crutch for why we fell short, we’re never going to see the Packers in a Super Bowl again in our lifetimes.

Game planning and in game coaching in the biggest games has been our biggest problem.
