Writing this a mere few moments after San Francisco’s kicking operation ironically ended the Packers’ season, it’s tough to put this result into more words than “disappointing” — the game itself, not so much. This is a Packers fan’s debrief of the NFC Divisional round.
A sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach has set in and it’s different than the other playoff losses we’ve suffered in the Rodgers era.
It’s not the depleted feeling I felt after the ’10 marathon versus the Cardinals in the wild card round or the anger I felt after the rushing onslaught versus the Niners in the ’20 championship game, and it’s not the feeling of heartbreak that ensued the walk-offs versus the Giants in ’08 and the Seahawks in ’15.
