He definitely did not get that first down. People talk about the seahawks and their luck or whatever but Green Bay always gets fortuitous calls. 

True story.

I remember one in particular from earlier this season involving one mister Aaron Rogers and one Gerald McCoy.

*mutters darkly under his breathe about Jerome Boger.*

Worth noting that the NFC Championship features a head coach in his third year vs one in his first.

Meanwhile, the AFC Championship features a coach in his second year vs one who first became a head coach back when we were worried about all our computers blowing up because of two digit year codes.

Andy Reid is the only coach left in the playoffs who's been a head coach for more than three years.

Like the fumble recovery in the first quarter.... Sure GB gets more calls than teams like us but nowhere near the darlings like the Niners, Pats, Broncos, etc.

Wait, Andy Reid’s only been a head coach for the past 20 years? That can’t be right. I’m pretty sure he was coaching when they started letting women vote.

Yeah, that surprised me too :)

It's still a pretty healthy stretch, especially when you consider his opponents.

That, plus he was an assistant for a while before he was a head coach.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
