Looking back at the Wildcard game two things became rather apparent: the first was that the Vikings gave up by around the second quarter which lead to the Packers giving up (or “protecting an outrageous lead”) around the 3rd and the second was that the Vikings did not know how to handle quarterback Joe Webb (Football Outsiders mentioned that it appeared if Webb’s progressions were actually more complicated than Ponders, which is probably not what you should be asking your backup quarterback who hadn’t thrown a pass all season to be doing).
Either way, outside of the the Packers’ mistake that costed them the Vikings only touchdown (which I reviewed and can’t decide who’s at fault) there really wasn’t a play that really stood out to me; the Vikings were atrocious beginning to end and the Packers did nothing entirely special when there were trying (which apparently was enough to win the game in the first 30 minutes) and then proceeded to sit on the ball for the 2nd half.

Packers expect Cobb, Nelson to play vs. 49ers
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Randall Cobb has the flu and Jordy Nelson has an ankle injury, but the Green Bay Packers are about as healthy as a team can be at this point in the season.

No Minnesota Vikings fan was in the best of spirits last weekend as they watched their favorite NFL football team, led on offense by an inept Joe Webb, crap the bed in its wild card match-up with the rival Green Bay Packers.
Still, this fella’s over-the-top, manic, coffee table-destroying meltdown is one for the ages. If it’s real. Which it is probably not.

Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers: Three Bold Predictions

January 11, 2013
In week one, the 49ers defeated Green Bay, 30-22. To be quite honest, the Packers had no business being competitive in that game. A blown call by replacement refs resulted in a punt return for a touchdown by Randall Cobb, and made it a one possession game. But even Green Bay knows that it was blown out that day.Week one is long gone, though. It's week 19. The 49ers...
