That's All She Wrote.....On The Packers Season



At least the Packers didn't rip our hearts out with another late-game playoff loss. But a loss is a loss and their season has come to an end. 

Green Bay lost to the Falcons 44-21 in the NFC Championship Game, and the game wasn't even that close.

Congrats to the Falcons and best of luck in the Super Bowl.

The Packers came back from a 4-6 record and won eight in a row to make the NFC Championship Game. In that respect, it was a good season and was a fun ride as a fan. However, just as with the Yankees, it was unsuccessful because it did not end with a championship.

Aaron Rodgers is a fantastic quarterback, but injuries hurt the Packers and then need to play better defense. This is not just coming off of today, because Atlanta has a great offense, this has been the last few seasons. 

Crazy that it had been seven years since the Packers Super Bowl. That's not a long time for most teams, but the fact that Green Bay has been in the playoffs every year since then and not made it to the big game, it feels like forever.

I feel like changes need to be made (others saying it as well), but I've been saying that for the past few years and no much has happened, so we will see. 

If it's Falcons vs Patriots in the Super Bowl, I'm rooting for Atlanta. If the Steelers beat the Patriots, I'll be pulling for Pittsburgh in the big game.

To that end, I'll be writing a Super Bowl Preview for The Spectrum, The Spectrum Heart University Student Newspaper. The preview will come out a week from Wednesday, so be sure to check it out. 

Good luck to the Steelers and Patriots in the AFC Championship. 

Forever and always, Go Pack Go.
