Gah! F! The Den secondary really made that along with Peyt's. For all the great stats, the playoff hope he is not the player he was. He and the team had a good reg season in a weak division and his neck/arm were the questions. They still are for mine. Can he at his age with that issue get better? Not sure he can and not sure they will progress much further into a playoff season if that is the case.

Good year but not good enough ppffftttt.

Another great great game Pack v 9ers! I don't care who wins they are both really exciting teams to watch. Still amazing to see Smith finished the season with the best QB rating ever and is not playing. Kap's running has been a highlight again so.

I hope not! My nerves are already shredded here!

Same - copious quantities of coffee ain't helping either .

Looks over at this stage even with Rodgers at his best the 9's will get the ball at least 2 more times and look to score every time they have it.

Kaepernick has been like 'Superman' today - game of his career this one ... good on Harbaugh for making the switch.

It's done now - 45+ points is far too many to concede. San Francisco have been way too good and the Packers have been disappointing. An up and down season with some bad losses and some excellent wins.

No excuses

Well that certainly was a 'career' game by Kap, and the Niners as a team beat all sorts of post-season records.

263 yards in the air and 183 on the ground for the QB (Most by any QB ever in a playoff!) are incredible numbers.

Good game in the first half, but was all one way in the second. A few of the Packers receivers (Jordy Nelson, Driver

never really seemed to be a factor in this game).

Good day for the Harbaugh family too!

Two of the best games of playoff NFL you will see! While Broncs were losers today it was still an amazing game. Here is hoping the two games tomorrow are as good as todays.

Who wins tomorrow? I'd like to see Seattle win and then go to San Francisco. Surely the Pats win although the Texans would take heart from today. Houston win and they host the AFC Championship game.

The 'Kap' could have jumped up to elite status in one game . Wow, was he good ! To do that on the big stage says a lot about his temperament.

Gore, Crabtree and your defence were very good. Big 'Offence' today from the 49ers - very impressive .

What do you prefer - Seattle at home or @ Atlanta ?

Crabtree has also had a breakout year, hes our go-to guy on third down conversions this year.

I didnt make any predictions about this game beforehand as honestly I didnt think we would win.

Losing our #2 and #4 receivers (Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams) and #2 running back (Kendall Hunter)

to season ending injuries, and a questionably fit Justin Smith along with our indifferent form over the past month

left me quietly fearing the worst.

I'm torn with a preferred opponent next week, Seattle cut us to pieces a few weeks ago, but that was on the road

and they werent that convincing last week given RG3 was a non-factor so early.

Hawks are an unknown quantity to me, have barely seen them play all year. Matt Ryan needs to get the monkey off

his back of never having had a playoff victory, if he does they secure home ground advantage and that game would

be a real interesting one. I'd take Atlanta right now..

I cant see the Patriots losing tomorrow, and I really feel that was Baltimores 'grand final' today. so I think the Pats will be

in the Super Bowl yet again.

Agree with nearly all that DD, although the Ravens do match up ok against the Pats (that's if N.E win tomorrow of course)

It's a strange one with injuries - others get an opportunity and often step up.

Your team has now got all the weapons. QB was the question mark - not any more.

Good weekend of games That's for sure. Bad luck to green bay but they were outplayed and they just couldnt stop the Kap. That 49ers O line is pretty damn good.

I love watching flacco play. He loves a deep throw and is fun to watch. A good win but you would think the patriots await them and that's tough.

If I was a bronco's fan I would be a little worried about Peyton. He is a gun but when Favre came to my vikes it was the same situation. Favre got us within a inch of a Super Bowl but once he was finally finished we were left with nothing. We had no cap space and because we got close we had no good draft picks either. If Elway can get a succession plan in order they should be ok. Elway has done an amazing job.

Seattle and Pats. Seattle D will be too good, Brady will do in the Texans but the Pats D is the worry and has been for years.

Great weekend of games!

As a Bronco fan totally agree!!! Pey had his 2nd best season ever stat wise but the lame duck throws and int's throwing over 10 yards and to his right are a concern with his age. He ain't going to get any better. Who is next in line??? Will they get Tebow back?! (Jokes).

Will AP reach the bog goal of 2,500 yards he has predicted next year?

Peyton could get the broncs a ring but it will have to be soon. I'm sure Elway knows this. If AP says he can 2,500 yards who am I to disagree. He could claim to do that and win a brownlow in the red and blue this year and I wouldn't doubt him.

Tebow may end up in the CFL if nothing comes his way. The Jags have said no and I don't know what other teams are looking for a QB. You would think he wants a starting job because being a backup was a disaster for him and the Jets. If everyone had to pay a tax of $1 to have the right to comment or talk about Tebow world hunger would be cured ten times over.

The Pats should win easily. The Texans D will fight all day but Schaub can't go toe to toe with Brady. He couldn't at home against Ponder so Brady will do what he did to them in the regular season.

Total man crush on Elway I was in Fort Collins Colo when they won the 1st championship but I'm not as sold as you on Peyt's. he will need some more help on D and just manage the ball short.

If any team is looking for. Starting QB Alex Smith will be the one they chase.

Smith is a logical choice for any team needing a starter. His only downfall is he doesn't have a deep arm like the Kap. That is why the move was made at the 49ers even when smith was declared healthy. When Ponder was struggling I wanted Smith because he will move the ball downfield with long drives and with AP by his side it would be dangerous. Smith could fit in at the Chiefs with Charles running game. I don't tink Vick has much left in the tank but someone will take him.

Now that would be an interesting prospect at the Viles, but what would you have to give up, is Smith still under contract?

Also an interesting take on Tebow CFL

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
