Jordan Love leads Packers upset, sends Cowboys into a long, miserable offseason

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Green Bay Packers won the coin toss and wanted the ball. They knew something.

The Packers knew Jordan Love was ready for the moment. They had to know how much pressure an early score would put on the Dallas Cowboys.

Not all playoff results change the entire landscape of the NFL, but the Packers' 48-32 win over the Cowboys seems like it will have ripple effects around the league for years. Love had a magnificent playoff debut with a nearly perfect 157.2 passer rating and stamped himself as a quarterback to watch closely in the future, perhaps continuing Green Bay's unprecedented run of elite quarterback play. Green Bay moves on to play the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers next week on the road. The embarrassing blowout at home will have the Cowboys considering changes everywhere, including with head coach Mike McCarthy. It's the first time the Cowboys have ever given up more than 38 points in a playoff game. The Packers tied a franchise record for points in a playoff game. A Cowboys defense that was very good in the regular season was a total no-show in the playoffs.

The Packers are the first No. 7 seed to win a playoff game. That means the Cowboys are the first team to lose to a No. 7 seed in the playoffs.

1. Beat Them Soundly, Too

GB really found a way to slow tye Dallas pass rush. They seemed off-balance the whole game.
ESPN tomorrow will be all about the Cowboys, but after that they have to talk about whoever is left.

6. Like the damn announcers, ALL about the cowpokes.......

So happy the Packers kicked their ass. Mike Mcarthy is the only cowboy I like.......all the others can eat chili.

Packers

3. Whatever happens with the coaching situation should be good for a laugh,

and Jerry has made an unavoidable landmine for himself with Dak's contract (not just what it was when he signed it several years ago, but the way they've f-ed around with how it hits the cap during these last two years).

Should be good off-season popcorn-snackin' material.

4. I'm 100% for whatever causes Jerry Jones misery on the football field.

5. I don't think I can bear Stephen A. Smith's gloating

on ESPN.

9. Glad to see Love do well

Farve treated Rodgers poorly when he arrived at Green Bay. Rodgers threw a temper tantrum when this young man was drafted.

I hope Love is more than enough to put both in the rear view mirror.

I'm an Eagles fan (don't judge me). But I wish Love a ton of success.
