That was yet another game where the Packers won the turnover battle but still lost. The Packers are 2-4 in their last 6 playoff games in which they've won the turnover battle.
That's a strange stat. Just goes to show that no matter how things go, the Packers seem to come up ineffective.

The frustration of the years of failing to repeat as a SB Champion had to be boiling inside Rodgers. The 2 major injuries that stifled potentially great seasons, the bad defenses, and the collapse in 2018 pushed him for one last gasp. Brady and Tampa taking it from him on home turf when it was there for his taking had to be devastating.
Losing Bahktiari right before the playoffs didn't help. Then lafleur throws just a guy out there..instead of a guy like Nijman..who was playing well That was their next best shot .Aaron should have had 4 Superbowl appearances, however, his team **** the bed those 3 seasons.

Doesn't Kraft already train in the offseason with either Kelce or Kittle? I thought that was one of those nuggets tossed out during a telecast early in the season.
Well, that's no good. Kraft is going to teach Kelce all his good tricks. :eek:

Believe he has don some stuff with kittle. But maybe that was Tonyan and Kittle. Kraft is the most reliable pass catcher on the team. JL and Kraft have to become that "must have" connection on critical downs the chain movers and red zones. A Kelce type or even Jordy type go to guy. Thats why i say they basically should live together this off season and devlop that simple look in the eye conection. Their both good enough do it.

It all depends on how bad they all want it. Love can be gung ho for offseason time together, but if the WRs/TEs are less enthusiastic (or vice versa) it won't work. That whole team effort thingy....
