Did not look good when he was being carted off (mostly the way he looked--he looked like he knew he wouldn't be back and was pissed).

I hope the Giants win, but fuckin' Aaron Rodgers, man.

One of his worst (if not the worst) regular season of Eli's career and everyone talking about how he has another gear in the playoffs. We haven't seen him shift into it so far today...

The Giants D has been pretty damn solid though (with the exception of about 4 plays on that scoring drive).

Maybe slightly down from a year ago but still a better season than 4 years ago when he threw 26 interceptions. The 14 or 16 picks he averages is a lot better than earlier in his career. 2009 thru 2011 were his best years but to me he is still Eli.

That is, if the Packers make some HUGE halftime adjustments and break this game wide open.

10. Green Bay for the regular season gave up the second highest yards per pass attempt in the league

On the offensive side Aaron Rodgers was very low for the first half of the season but picked up for the second half, though I notice Rodgers holds on to the ball unusually long this season, I think this why he struggled in the beginning of the season but lately he has been able to scramble around (He actually practices this particularly in red zone area) and take a shot down field.

I'm surprised it took this long for the receivers to burn the secondary.

On edit - Green Bay averaged a slightly higher yards per attempt on offense wthough NYG had a top 10 pass D

Aaron Rodgers for MVP. Brady or Ryan will likely win that award, but it's obvious that the Green Bay Packers would not even be a .500 team without him.
