Here's a little memory from the last game those two played together for Green Bay:

The 2012 NFL thread
Wide receiver Donald Driver has announced his retirement at age 37, as the Packers' all-time leader in receptions (743) and yards (10,137). A true "buried treasure" of the 1999 draft (he was taken in the 7th round), he played 205 games for the Pack. Only the Great One has played more.

Ravens 34: 49ers 31.
So, commiserations to OEP. Thanks for offering your thoughts throughout the season. I've enjoyed reading them (I'm sure others have, too) and am sorry that your 49ers couldn't get over the line for you.
San Francisco looked gone for all money 2 minutes into the 2nd half, 22 points down, but - all credit to them - they battled on bravely and were within a whisker of winning number 6 at the death.
A great game, though. I thoroughly enjoyed this one (in a way that you only can because your team isn't playing).
Here's hoping next season's Superbowl has the Favre brothers coaching the teams (and that the right one wins).

Alex Smith is apparently going to follow Joe Montana to the Chiefs! See http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/89950 ... efs-source

Yeah baby. Reeeeeeeeally happy with this trade, not only will he bring one maybe two years quality receiving to the 9ers and take the pressure off Crabtree but more importantly he is a fantastic leader and example to the young 9er WR's.

Plus it only cost us a 2013 6th rounder which means we're still in the drivers seat for the upcoming draft
Oh yeah and the Seahawks picks up Harvin who should sucker punch them after his first year there, and it cost them their 2013 1st and 7th round picks plus a mid round (likely 3rd round) 2014 pick. At the end of the day Harvin's skills are undeniable but his attitude is poor and he is on the injured list a lot.
Harvin makes the Seahawks offence far more explosive but it does leave them very weak in this draft and to a lesser degree the 2014 draft.

My Packers have been surprisingly quiet, given the receiving talent that has been moving around. With Jennings apparently on the way out and no-one other than Cobb making really good yardage last season, it's hard to see where A-Rod's next 400-yard throwing game is going to come from.
That said, I think Welker is slowing down but Boldin was fantastic in the play-offs and looks like he can still play at the required level. I suppose he's a casualty of the Ravens having to throw money at Flacco but he'll certainly pose a huge down-field threat for the 49ers. It's just possible he'll make the difference all on his own next year. And - best of all - he's probably smart enough not to make any "I'm the greatest wide-receiver of all time" claims (see ya Randy).
