One of the starting quarterback Saturday night, NFC second round playoffs game had voted in favour of the Pro Bowl, while the second was snubbed.
We have a recount?
Not that it should be relevant to a lot of Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers. The first two betting rounds, based on the postseason, he cannot make the trip to Hawaii yet. The Packers are the Super Bowl-bound, unless the claim to find a way to stop the NFL's hottest Passer or to maintain the momentum of the scoreboard.
Matt Ryan and the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons could make neither 48-21 home loss of the Packers.
What was the late quickly disintegrated deadlocked the contest into a blowout in the second quarter. Rodgers was almost perfect throwing three Photos and the fourth, which gave the Green Bay commanding 28-point lead. Ryan threw two expensive vector just before halftime and couldn't get the gear from Atlanta's offense, before it was too late.
"We were moving the ball at an early stage of the rhythm quite effectively. Then we lost it, "Ryan said.
For this reason, the Falcons became the third No. 1 seed in the last four seasons to lose its first game in the playoffs. (12-6) the sixth seeded Packers are entitled against the Sunday's Seattle-Chicago NFC Championship contest.
"We are in the championship caliber team," said Packers coach Mike McCarthy. "We feel very good about who we are, we play in a manner and we invented football."That is what we are sticking to it. "
As well they should.
As the first round of the game last Sunday against Philadelphia, Green Bay rematch against participated in the regular season to your opponent. Rodgers was 344-yard passes through the effort of the week (12) as a function of Atlanta, but Ryan's last-minute heroics of suspension of the Falcons 20-17 victory. Ryan completed 24 28 passing game only one second half with an incompletion.
Astonishingly Rodgers was still stronger rematch. He carried out 36 yards and 31 passes 366 was 10-for-10 third downs. Atlanta's defense had answers. When the Falcons blitzed, Rodgers sidestepped adroitly. Three-and four-man rushes you produce enough pressure enable Rodgers shred overmatched secondary, which requires the most desperately Colts update.
"We wanted to make the Kind of," said Rogers, who has been revoked midway in the fourth quarter with the game through the very hand. "We wanted to invade the Middle field at an early stage. When I started taking that away, work must be allowed between vehicle traffic routes and outside.
"It was one of those nights that when things do not work and does not open, I had the opportunity to move in the Pocket, to avoid some of these guys and make free some major plays."
Ryan is true vice versa. He filled a much stronger is the Packers defense than he was in the November issue of one's personal page on Stardoll. Michael Turner led rushing attack — Atlanta's offensive success, 13-3 to regular season — was neutered after the Falcons fell in the early stages of a large margin, the second half. Offensive line struggled to Green Bay, versatile blitz packages.
That leaves room for errors Ryan do.
Packers Cornerback Tramon Williams took full advantage of the two Falcons poll snuffing in Green Bay territory, when the Score was tied at 14-14. Williams to intercept the first lob winger Ryan, Michael Jenkins to launch projisointina as he hit one of the patches of ice which plagued Atlanta-area this past week is intended to be used in the end zone. Even if he had remained upright, Jenkins have tried to make a catch, as Ryan's throw was plenty of air below.
Rodgers will be converted to a turnover of Green Bay, third touchdown pass, a much better implementation of the fade effect. He lofted a picture-perfect throw, 20-yard wide receiver James Jones, who took position inside a Cornerback, Brent Grimes.
"I said before the game, guys, I owe them from the drop-down last week," said Jones, who fell sure touchdown pass that 21-16 win, Philadelphia. "It had to make at least."
Williams then gave an example of how much other better Green Bay secondary was less than the unit, which saw the Steelers nickel Cornerback Christopher Owens regularly applied to play injured Brian Williams (knee) instead. After a nine-yard Clay Matthews sack Falcons were field-goal area, the Packers ' 35-yard line in the cusp of 10 seconds remaining before halftime. Ryan rolled right and threw toward the wide receiver Roddy White.
The great mistake. Williams darted in front of nimbly avoid Ryan Pass in order to combat the enterprise and the zip 70 yards touchdown, which gave the Green Bay 28-14 lead.
"I played a little bit outside of leverage and give me outside for the receiver," said Williams, who has emerged as one of the top cornerbacks in the second half of the NFL season. "When he is not cut, I broke it, and make a play. They were (I) the formation of recognized. "
The second half of the opened more Packers market dominance. Rodgers led to spreading Green Bay downfield another Score Falcons Linebacker Kaliningradissa trip to seven-yard touchdown run juking. This time, the Steelers defense, which was used as nearly 22 minutes of 17 in the previous field was sucking air enough to deflate Georgia Dome.
"We knew if we had the opportunity to take the ball and Score, we would have a little bit," Rodgers said.
Falcons were broken soon thereafter. Three-and-off after the Steelers offense is another challenge — McCarthy, in its sole discretion, to void the third drop-down list, and then successfully Ryan Rodgers was completed — again. He ended his seven-yard touchdown drive with fullback John Kuhn. That gave the NFL record for Rodgers 10 touchdown passes in his first three career playoffs games, dating for the last period, 51-45 in overtime loss, Arizona.
"I do not know who that team was in the" Cornerback Dunta Robinson said his Falcons afterward. "We have not shown that all of the season."
A few quarterbacks have never presented as much skill to postseason game Rodgers. He finished fifth, the highest percentage (86.1), any of the longtime NFL playoffs history with at least 15 attempts.
Asked to rank among this outing on his all-time best, Rodgers, remember when he completed 23 consecutive passes of the University of California, and appeared in Insight Bowl. Rodgers, even if you don't try to pretend that these efforts were much larger than he led an impressive stage clinic.
"It was a special night," he said.
Rodgers, although also had the sympathy of the fishing effort was nothing special, but the Steelers quarterback for the third year. Although he was passing 20 29, Ryan was published five times, and you will not be able to log in more than 22 yards completed.
"I have a lot of Matt," Rodgers said. "We are friends off the field. I am sure that he is disappointed, but he is going to these types of games are the length of his career. "
Ryan faulty part? Rodgers and the Packers-list are likely to be young people, too.
