The Green Bay Packers were a Super Bowl favorite as training camp started. In a preseason game, in Pittsburgh, Jordy Nelson tore his ACL and was lost for the year. This was a big blow, but it should not have derailed an offense that is led by MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

The Packers drafted two young cornerbacks, in the NFL Draft. Dom Capers was still searching for middle linebacker and used All-Pro Clay Matthews in that role. The defense did not dominate, but kept an inept offense in a number of games. 

Minnesota ended the reign of the Packers as NFC North Champions by defeating them at Lambeau Field, in Week 17. The Packers entered the playoffs rolling the wrong way. After starting the season 6-0, they finished 10-6 and had to go on the road as a wildcard team. The Packers defeated the Washington Redskins and then faced Arizona in the Divisional round. A second hail mary kept the season alive until overtime. The defense allowed a big play, and the Cardinals scored the game winning touchdown.

With the seaon over and no Lombardi Trophy coming back to Green Bay, what changes need to be made. Evan and Troy will discuss a recent article by Bob McGinn.

With all the scrutiny placed on Peyton Manning this year, he could have the last laugh. Battling through injuries and inconsistent play, Manning will become the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl. He breaks the record that was set by his boss, John Elway, who was 38 years old when he started. Cam Newton's spectacular season will end in San Francisco. Newton has rallied the Carolina Panthers to represent the NFC, in Super Bowl 50.

The New England Patriots were playing in their fifth straight AFC Championship game. With a win, they would have been able to defend their Super Bowl title. Stephen Gostkowski is one of the most reliable kickers, but missed an extra point that forced the Patriots to go for two points. Tom Brady has his passed batted and intercepted in the end zone, ending their quest for Super Bowl 50. The Broncos pressured Brady all day, and made the pocket uncomfortable. 

Cam Newton silenced anyone who didn't think he should be the MVP. He contributed two touchdown passes and rushed for two more. The Panthers had given up big leads in prior games, but not on Sunday. After a 17-0 first quarter lead, they continued to dominate the Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers intercepted Carson Palmer four times and returned one for a touchdown.

The NFL Conference Championships will be played this weekend. The AFC and NFC Champions will be crowned and then battle in Super Bowl 50.

The New England Patriots are playing in their fifth consecutive AFC Championship, and are looking to defend their Super Bowl 49 title. Peyton Manning could be playing in his last NFL game. The 39 year old quarterback has struggled with injuries the past two seasons but has a chance to return to the Super Bowl. 

A winter blizzard is sweeping across the east coast, but it will be hot in Carolina on Sunday. The Carolina Panthers, led by MVP candidate Cam Newton, will host the Arizona Cardinals to see who represents the NFC.

Now that the Green Bay Packers season is over, its time to talk about where the Packers go from here. Troy and Evan talk about pending free agents we will like back, ones we feel the Packers could let go, and areas of need during the offseason. 

Jeff Janis had a break out game against the Arizona Cardinals and Evan and Troy also talk about what his breakout game means moving forward and should the Packers have played him sooner. Mike McCarthy also called out Eddie Lacy and his weight, can Eddie Lacy come back to camp in shape and what should he do? Also staff changes have happened as Mike McCarthy has fired two on his staff.

The NFL has been at the top of the sports headlines, but the season is winding down. The NBA and NHL have went through the motions so far as they approach the midway point of their seasons. Once the second of the seasons roll around, the games will start to mean more. Do you think that the NBA and NHL should shorten their season? Has their been a meaningful game played to this point? MLB teams are preparing for the start of Spring Training as they sign players and adjust their rosters.

After all the wilcard teams advanced in the first round, the dvisional round saw the top seeds advance to the Conference Championships. The Arizona Cardinals advanced by beating the Green Bay Packers in overtime, after Aaron Rodgers completed a hail mary with no time in regulation. The Cardinals will travel to Carolina next Sunday. The Carolina Panthers stormed out to a 31-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks and then held on for a 31-24 win. 

The New England Patriots have advanced to their fifth consecutive AFC Championship game by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs. New England has their full compliment of offensive weapons back. Julian Edelman returned to catch 10 passes for 100 yards. Rob Gronkowski has battled knee and back injuries, and caught two touchdown passes from Tom Brady. They will take on the Denver Broncos who recovered a late fumble, and then scored on touchdown on the following drive.

Therefore, the top seeds play each other with a trip to Super Bowl 50 on the line. Listen in and call the show with your thoughts about the Conference Championship match-ups.

The Arizona Cardinals will be playing in the NFC Championship game after defeating the Green Bay Packers 26-20, in overtime. In 2009, the Cardinals also defeated the Packers in overtime. Aaron Rodgers completed his second hail mary of the season to send the game to overtime. The Cardinals won the coin flip and scored a touchdown to end the game. That drive consisted of three plays that covered 80 yards. On the first play of overtime, the Packers pressured Carson Palmer who scrambled to his right and threw back across the field to an open Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald had no one around him as he scampered 75 yards to the Packers five-yard line. Two plays later a shuffle pass to Fitzgerald ended the game. 

The Packers were fortunate to have the ovetime period. From the Arizona 41-yard line with five seconds left, Rodgers took the shotgun snap and heaved the ball to the end zone. Jeff Janis leaped into the air and grabbed the ball for the game tying touchdown. 

The changing point in this game could have been on the Arizona scoring drive in the fourth quarter. Green Bay was holding a 13-10 lead, and the Cardinals drove to the Green Bay 19-yard line. Palmer tried to force the ball to Michael Floyd on an out route, and Sam Shileds had a great break on the ball. The ball hit his hands and fell harmlessly to the turf. Shields would have had ended a scoring drive and possibly returned that interception for a touchdown. Three plays later Damarious Randle made a great play on a ball intended for Larry Fitzgerald. Randle broke up the pass but the ball deflected up and into the hands of Michael Floyd for a touchdown. This gave the Cardinals a 17-13 lead with 3:44 left.

Last week all four wildcard teams advanced to the NFL Divisional round. The Seattle Seahawks advanced after MInnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh missed a chip shot. The Seahawks will travel to play the top-seeded Carolina Panthers. Green Bay dominated the Washington Redskins to earn a rematch, in the desert, with the Arizona Cardinals. The Pittsburgh Steelers blew a 15 point lead, in the fourth quarter, but then took advantage of a Cincinnati Bengal meltdown. The Steelers will visit the top-seeded Denver Broncos. Kansas City trounced the Houston Texans to earn a date with the New England Patriots.

Can the four wildcard teams repeat what they did last week? Listen in and call the show with your thoughts.

In week 16, the Green Bay Packers visited the Arizona Cardinals. They left the desert battered, bruised, and searching for some confidence. After a scoreless first quarter, the Cardinals finished the half with a seven play, 80 yard drive to take a commanding 17-0 lead after Aaron Rodgers threw a red zone interception. This turnover happened with under two minutes left in the half and was the turning point, in the game. With the score 10-0, the Packers were driving and ready to cut into the lead before the half. Not only did the Packers come away with no points, the Cardinals increased the lead.

The second half did not get much better. Rodgers lost two fumbles that were returned for touchdowns and the Cardinals were never threatened. The blowout loss fell clearly on the offense as the Cardinals defense outscored the Packers offense 14-8. 

Can the Green Bay Packers compete with the Arizona Cardinals? Yes, the Packers did compete with the Cardinals in the first half. As poorly as they played, they had a chance to go into halftime down by one score. Take away the two defensive scores and the two play 28 yard drive set up by a turnover, and you have a 17-8 game. 

To compete on saturday, the Packers need to protect Rodgers and elminate the key turnovers. The offensive line should be healthier heading into the game. With a healthier line, the Packers should be able to have a better showing. With less pressure, the Packers can eliminate the turnovers.
