Aaron Rodgers is just 45-43 as a starter on the road in his career. Rodgers is a future HOF, but he's 36 and you can see a little drop-off in performance (nobody wants to admit that). I don't know how much of that is injuries, the talent around him, or just age, but his numbers have declined over the last 3 or 4 years. I respect the hell out of him, but the media is treating this game as if the 49ers are facing 27 year old Aaron.

Maybe the Packers do pull off the upset tomorrow, but I feel like they are 1 year away. They had an easy path to get this far, due to the ineptitude of the NFC East, the Bears drop off, The Vikings putting all their faith in Cousins, Stafford getting hurt, the Rams drop off, and an injured Seattle team. Not having to face New Orleans. Are Matt LaFleur and Mike Pettine Super Bowl worthy coaches, or does it come down to personnel?

When is the last time a rookie head coach got to the Super Bowl? A rookie head coach period, not a head coach in his 1st year with his new team, let me make that distinction.

[Jim Caldwell, 2009 Colts]

Know matter who the coach was, Peyton Manning will get you to the Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers is no Peyton Manning

This is what I've been hearing a lot this week. Really? 23-0 after the first half was close? How was that game in any way close? It was a blowout, blowouts are by definition, not close. I hope the media continues to make mental gymnastics to explain why the 49ers aren't as good as they are.

This, its hilarious how they feel the need to qualify the Packers to give them any chance of winning. They very easily could've been eliminated by the Seahawks due to Wilson's magic, if not for a few good plays by Rodgers to save the game. The Pack did just about everything to give that divisional game to the Seahawks in the 2nd half . I have a hard time believing that we're going to do the same thing. I do expect a good game though, and Jimmy will have a big one as well.

This reporting is awful. Just as it as been all season on the 49ers.

Big improvement from last year for sure
