It's been four years, but the Green Bay Packers once again are one win away from playing in the Super Bowl.

Behind some late-game heroics from Aaron Rodgers to ice it, the No. 2 seed Packers edged a game fifth-seeded Seahawks squad at home, 28-23, to earn their first NFC Championship appearance since 2016.

Next up for the Packers will be a huge showdown against the top-seeded 49ers at Levi's Stadium with the NFC championship and a spot in Super Bowl LIV on the line (Jan. 19, 6:40 p.m. ET on FOX).

The BEST thing about all the games, was hearing all those Rush tunes as the networks broke for commercials. RIP Neil.

The second best thing was seeing that goon Clowney finally getting called for a personal foul, and another penalty that facilitated GB’s go-ahead TD. Karma iz a bitch.

Did I really hear right that Clowney got it in the balls?

Maybe a few heads in the NFL are stepping back from their Wokeness and back towards the light. Good on them for using Rush for bumper music. Finding out Peart had died was like coming home in the rain from a bad day at work, and having your wife greet you on the porch with a smile and a hard kick in the nuts.

What’s the over/under on babies aborted if the Packers make the super bowl?

Best matchup for 49ers. Rogers isn’t as elusive as Wilson and Green Bay isn’t as familiar with SF as Seattle. Still, should be a better game this time around after the Pack got embarrassed in the regular season game but is getting closer to being healthy.

I believe so - I was putting away the Christmas things during the games and missed that one, but Twitter exploded with delight and said so. So it has to be true...

Not much of an NFL fan, but I guess I’ll pull for the long-shot Titans to go all the way. Both NFC and AFC championship games will be on January 19, one week from today.

Ahhh indeed. But if not for a vicious cheap headshot on Wentz by that thug Clowney the Eagles would be advancing.

I think it is a setup.

Rodgers vs Henry.

How the league didn't suspend Clowney for his "Son of Sueh" spearing to the head cheap shot last week on Wentz, Can only be explained in terms of Epstein rules in play.

Clowney should have been ejected. Even Philly's late great Andre Waters played like a gentleman compared to Clowney.

Possibly...we weren't good against Wilson when he ran. And we had drops. But Wentz would have been more clutch in the Red Zone than McGown (who still got us within a 4th down completion to win).

If anyone shoulda been fired it was the medical staff. If we are healthy, the Eagles will be awesome next year. Until then, Go Chiefs!
