commentary...

like a true leader,Aaron Rodgers feels frustrated by his play,yesterday,and even though it may be very true,he should be very,very proud of the entire team that truly fought like true champions... not every team wins the Super Bowl... the facts are the Packers were beset by major injuries,like most years,but it is the team that deals with them the best that usually wins Lombardi every year... actually,the Packers have been in "playoff mode" for weeks,by falling behind both the Detroit Lions,and Chicago Bears midway into the season,and losing quarterback Aaron Rodgers,to a pesky clavicle injury,after week nine,did not help,but honestly losing Clay Matthews,Casey Hayward,and Johnny Jolly,to major injuries did not help the defense,either,but the team never gave up,even though,they needed help throughout the last month of the season... the team defense did pick up the last quarter of the season,even though the run defense was not what it should have been,with the absences of Matthews,Hayward,and Jolly... those three players were the major cogs on defense,and they missed a major chunk of the season... in the case of Matthews,and Hayward,they missed five,or more,games apiece,with major injuries... however,the Packers hung on and made the playoffs,showing real character in a team that did look like jigsaw puzzles,most of the season... be frustrated,Aaron,but remember there is next year,and be the true leader that you truly are... with the feelings that they should have beaten the 49ers,they will be very dangerous to play,next season... before you 49ers' fans get a big head,the Packers have beaten your team eleven of the last sixteen games(before their four game winning streak,(the last two games went down to who had the football last)the Packers had won eleven of the past twelve games... your team did make enough plays to win,and were the better team,yesterday... however,the edge between the teams are quite razor thin,so there is always next year,Aaron... look to the future,but remember the past...
