After getting to and winning his first NFCC in 2010, Aaron Rodgers has since lost his last three NFCCs with a 6 TD: 5 INT ratio.

Is it Aaron Rodgers lacking the magic in these last three NFCCs or is it he’s pulling a subpar cast as far as it can go?

For a guy that can be included in the GOAT conversations, going 1-4 isn’t doing him any favors.

So Jerry's dumpster fire of a franchise slides down one more rung into awfulness. KC hasn't been to a SB in 50 years, but now they're in one. And they were in the AFCC game last year. Been 25 years since Jerry's garbage truck of a team has been in a conf. championship game or a SB.

If SF wins it'll be their 6th SB win, bypassing Jerry's decades-long dumpster fire.

The Tenn. Titans, since '98, have 8 playoff wins, a SB appearance and an AFCC appearance. Since '98. Jerry's had 3 playoff wins and hasn't come close to an NFCC game.

But, hey, stay positive

Kind of reminds me of when Timmy Smith came out of oblivion to rush for over 200 yards in the Super Bowl for the Redskins and then quickly disappeared soon thereafter but sounds like this guy might hang around for a while

In Super Bowl XXII, Smith set a Super Bowl rushing record in his first career start, gaining 204 yards and scoring 2 touchdowns. His efforts helped lead the Redskins to a 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. It would be his only significant achievement as an NFL player, even receiving recognition from the NFL Films as the #2 one-shot wonder in league history. His career would be plagued with injuries and suspicions of drug use.

I like keeping people grounded in reality, that's all. All pre-season and during the season I kept hearing how talented the Cowboys were -- the same kind of blind optimism I see now. But when I watch these teams in the latter rounds of the playoffs I see how much better their schemes and execution are. Are their players that much more talented? Or is their coaching vastly better than what Dallas had?

It's probably the latter. And granted, Garrett is gone. But the guy who kept Garrett in place for 10 years is still the boss. And the guy who kept Marinelli as DC for 5 years is still the boss. The guy who hired McCarthy is still that same boss.

It's about 90% coaching, the 49ers offense is basically made up of an elite TE, FB, OT's, two good WR's, a JAG QB and a bunch of cast-off's on the interior OL and at RB. Switch coaching staffs and Garrett would maybe get the 49ers to 8-8, although I think that's a ceiling, while I think 13-3 would be Shannahan's floor with our roster.

Seeing how he has developed an elite running game with basically an elite TE/FB and a bunch of smoke and mirrors I think this roster would've been no worse than 14-2 with him and his staff.

So you admit the talent wasn't the problem...

I've heard and read a lot of whining from Aaron Rodgers apologists screaming that Rodgers doesn't play defense.....but those same people gloss over the fact that Rodgers had 3 turnovers on Sunday. I'm pretty sure those 3 turnovers had a significant impact on the game as well.

Sans that 2010 playoff run, the man is kinda average in the playoffs against everyone except the Cowboys.
