WOW Mike, I think we all heard the question about, could ML win without a Hall of Fame QB. I think we know the answer. I think it only gets better as these guys keep getting more experience.
Where this offense is now compared to three months ago was unfathomable back then. Simply unthinkable. It’s a credit to all involved – players, coaches, everybody.

Wow! That did not look like a bunch of inexperienced young players in their first playoff game.
When LaFleur quit talking about the “young guys” storyline at midseason, he really meant it.
Since Jordan Loves passer rating fell to 157.2 with that last incomplete pass, does that leave him room to improve against the Niners?
Careful, that could be construed as chortling.
Why didn’t we run the ball on third down right before the two-minute warning? That dropped pass not only stopped the clock, but also cost Love the perfect passer rating that could never be broken?
LaFleur wanted the first down to be able to run the clock out. I wondered initially but the more I thought about it, it made sense and was the right call (I doubt he had any idea on Love’s passer rating). Miss on the throw and you’re punting it back to Dallas with 2:35 left. Run the ball and you’re punting it back with 2:00 left. Totally worth the risk given a conversion ends the game.

Imagine what this team could do if it had a Pro Bowler or two…
With seven teams in each conference getting in, the playoffs are more definitively a second season than ever before.
My head is still spinning! I just wish it wasn’t Mike McCarthy on the receiving end of that.
I don’t know where things go from here for McCarthy, but unfortunately, other than his Super Bowl title, a portion of his playoff legacy continues to be his defense no-showing with the highest of stakes.
