Still not sure how I feel about this guy


Yes, he humiliated us, but he's a Sconnie.

The tatoos, the scruff, the 'do, the funky bill (and yes that brewers logo) all scream punk-ware to me. Hopefully he'll outgrow it like Agassi did.

Seahawks?!! When are coaches gonna learn not to play cute with the last second TO? Why give a kicker a practice kick? Carroll will be kicking himself all off season. While I marginally preferred Seattle, I'm glad Carroll got burned on it. If you're gonna ice (which is silly anyway), let the kicker wait on the sidelines.

Let me be the first to say what Denver fans have got to be thinking, "Gee, we sure could have used some Tebow magic on Saturday." For $14 Million dollars more (and a few draft picks), Manning didn't do any better than Tebow. And Tebow got them extra revenue from the 2nd playoff game. Playoff record at home: Manning 0-1; Tebow 1-0. And kneeling down with time and TO's ?? Can we figure that Manning hasn't got the arm strength any more?

Yes, I am glad for him that he recovered and is playing again. Yes, he is a far better quarterback with all the pedigrees, but as I've said to my customers, "at the end of the day you've got to deliver." At the end of the day, Manning delivered a Favre trademark pass.

We humiliated our own Sconnie selves with mistake after mistake... :( (Just remember: Hope springs eternal in Packerland!)

Whatever we may think about Kaepernick’s appearance, he delivered for San Francisco. We failed to contain him and he made hay with the defense. I fully expected that Capers would have come up with a solution in the second half. He didn’t - and we lost.

Echoing Fr. Michael, “there’s always next year!”

Remembering the 70’s and 80’s Packers, that was the annual mantra back then - and we had little to show for it.

Cassandra, I was happy to see Carroll get burnt. I do like Russell Wilson, but Carroll is such a goof. I heard that after the game he told the ref "I'm not gonna call a timeout" but all the ref heard was timeout. Manning looked like an old Favre out there. That cold weather affects old qbs more than young qbs.

Father, I think we didn't do a good job for sure, but this guy definitely has some talent.

While I've long argued that Peyton Manning is a playoff choke artist, this is the first (and I suspect last) place I'll ever see anybody suggest that the Broncs would have been better with Tim Tebow. This man is a good man. This man cannot play football.

@Steve Karlen, "cannot play football" ??? Tell that to the Heisman committee. Not a good NFL QB: fair assessment.

The record speaks for itself. Manning did no better than Tebow (who was given a 1-4 deficit). Tebow cost $14 million dollars less in a pathetic AFC West where a .500 record wins the division and gets one home playoff game.

Business ROI says Tebow is the better option.
The NFL is a business; stop romanticizing it.

something that might give a boost to him at least in my eyes: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/01/kaepernick_shouldnt_be_playing_in_nfc_title_game.html
