It will be a Battle of the Bays Part Deux for the NFC title next week at Lambeau. It will also be Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers in their first ever playoff clash.
This game marked -The first divisional round playoff appearance for the Buccaneers since 1981 -The last home playoff win for the Packers until 2001 -The last Packers divisional round playoff win until 2007 -The only playoff meeting between these two teams until 2020 (also at Lambeau Field)
favre's short passes were not a beauty to watch His medium and long throws are obviously some of the best ever, the way he kicks up his lead leg and rockets the ball, but those dump offs just don't have the right footwork
The Bucs did win the Super Bowl in 2001 with Dilfer at QB. Albeit Dilfer was not the reason the Bucs won, that was because of the Buc's defense lead by Warren Sapp. Trent Dilfer has more Super Bowl rings than Dan Marino does ;P
Bucs-Packers games from this era were like street fights. Just dudes trying to take each others heads off. Surprising there wasn't a bench clearing brawl in this one... Dotson's cheap shot on Middleton coulda started one.
