Watching The AFC & NFC Championship Games - What Does It Tell Packer Fans?

These are random observations as I watched the two games today & how they relate to the Packers.

AFC Game - Broncos - Patriots

1 - Maybe Rogers should say Omaha when calling plays!

2 - The defenses for the Patriots & Broncos are not much better than the Packers defense!

3 - Given time, Brady & Manning will move the ball!

4 - Manning can still through the ball over the meddle with authority.

5 - Tom Brady will be 37 and Peyton Manning will be 38 during next season (Aaron Rogers - 30)

6 - First two drives by Patriots - 3 & out!

7 - Thought game was going to be high scoring?  1st Quarter - 3-0 Broncos!

8 - 13- 3 Broncos at half, Patriots look too conservative!

9 - Opening drive for TD by Broncos BIG!  And used a bunch of time!

10 - Patriots passing on field goal & Brady sacked!  Big defensive stand by Broncos!

11 - 2nd series by Broncos - FG BIG!

12 - Patriots come back for TD!

13 - Manning gets another shot in the Super Bowl!

The Packers could have played with these two teams!  If the Packer "D" was healthy, they are just as good as the Broncos & Patriots!  And Rogers can hang with Brady & Manning!  Problem is, the Pack is in the NFC & the defenses of Seattle & San Francisco change the game!

NFC Game - Seattle - 49er's

1 - Defense - Defense - Defense!

2 - Even the great Seattle defense has trouble tackling Kaepernick!

3 - Defensive battle!  Wilson is scrambling like he is in the backyard!

4 - Seattle has no wide receivers!

5 - Kaepernick - 5 passes in first half?

6 - Ugly Offenses, scrambling QB's make it work!

7 - If the NFL allows all this contact between receiver & defender, teams must change how the passing game is handled!

8 - Interesting call by Seahawks - 4th & 7 - 3 vertical routes, TD for Seattle - Gamble pays off!

9 - The young QB's are trying to lose it!!!!

10 - Kaepernick with some questionable throws - Seattle wins!

Well, what did I learn watching the games today?  In the second game, I still DO NOT LIKE either team.  Trash talking & two coaches that are DIVA's!  But, they have GREAT defenses!  And young quarterbacks that made a lot of mistakes at the end!  I do like Russell Wilson as a leader.  And I think, may be the shortest QB in Super Bowl History - need to check it!  To beat the 49er's or Seahawks, the Packers must:
1 - Of course, improve defense.  Tackle & speed!  Still need a pass rusher to complement Matthews!  Safety - a free agent or rookie ready to play!  And, a linebacker, inside or our with speed!
2 - Stay healthy!
3 - Offense, continue with what we have!  Maybe sign Quarless.  Maybe draft a good rookie TE?  Offensive line stay healthy!  And, McCarthy, improve play calling!

Broncos & Patriots?  We can hang with them now, but make the moves previously stated and we win the Super Bowl!!!
