Linehan. Real simple, if he gets away from the running if its working, hes going to get fried, and thats being kind. The playoffs are no joke, might be fun for Garrett and its cute because he feels safe, but Linehan doesnt have that garauntee and he has to realize "dont get cute". Stick to what is working. The packers are about over whelming, so we have to execute and get more for less. I have no doubt Rod will get the best he can out of the D. I dont know if Garrett realizes whats at stake, but if there is a coach who has to get it right, its Linehan. One and done is not going to end well and hes the first scapegoat.

If Zeke is owning it, keep doing it. IF Cole cant be stopped, keep doing it. I dont care if Williams or Butler has the day, let them own it. You have to stick to what works because the Packers are going to go with what works for them. Once Rodgers, *who beat us on one bum leg* finds his groove hes using that groove to victory, if thats hitting guys off the street, he ll do it. We might not get to him so we have to out race them. Dont let up either. let me type this again, dont let up, If Zeke and Dak score in 40 seconds, score again, score again and keep scoring. This has got to be your statement game because you are the target. Dont listen to anyone, if we lose, its you. Everything and i mean everything shifts one a loss. Do not play around, Sunday you have zero friends, zero. Work this game to your strength because its going to be worse than a volcano if we lose, everything will get collatarral damage and you have very little leg to stand on.

Claiborne.

I don't understand picking anyone on offense. The offense will be diverse, and will do what they do and be fine against the Packers D. The outcome hinges on whether the defense stops Rodgers a few times, or lets him march down the field again and again, eventually wearing us down and outscoring us. Given that, if Claiborne comes back healthy and plays like he did before he got hurt, that could put the whole thing over the top.

Mo!!!

His confidence is at an all time high, he probably could've came back 3 weeks ago but he took his time gearing for his playoff run.

Monetary speaking, he has the most to play for on the team. History shows us that a couple clutch moments in the playoffs and/or Super Bowl could mean the difference between another one year deal or 30 million guaranteed.

He has a 3 game season to ball out, play up to his potential and be the next Dallas Cowboys hero to cash in on a huge, probably undeserving contract (Larry Brown).

Dez needs to settle a score with the Pack about a certain "catch" that he apparently didn't make the last time these teams met in the playoffs.

I'll go with Zeke. If he runs like he did in the first game against them, the Packers are toast. Once we move the ball on the ground, everything else falls into place.

I think the Packers will take Dez away because they take a similar approach to ours...make the offense sustain drives, and our other receivers are more likely to give them a stop. I also think they will give Beasley some attention after last game.

I think TWill has a playoff coming out party.

I see a lot of people can't read as usual. ;)
The ONE person who will make a difference (who MUST make a difference) is David Irving. He has to provide a pass rush. The lack of one beat us in 2014. I think we have all the pieces to win this, but if we provide a pass rush on Aaron Rodgers, we win this one in a blowout.

Dan Bailey.

Playoff games come down to late game field goal kicking more often than that.

Irving can do it again. Throw the insurance man off his game, and the Packers are toast.

I don't think it'll be one person it'll be the defensive unit. They were said to be the weak link of the team all year and still don't seem to be getting much respect from fans or media types. Just look around. No one is considering our defense as a factor. Everyone just assumes AR and co will hang 35 on them and it's up to Zeke , Dak, and Dez to come up with 38. "If they shredded the vaunted NYG defense like that Dallas' D has no shot!" I don't think they will take being an afterthought too lightly IMO. Defense wins the game for us this week.

Agreed. I think our pass rush will be better than it's been all year. Our D will do a better job than the "vaunted" Giants defense.

DAK hands down. They are going to make Dak beat them. They will have 8 in the box all day and will Blitz as well on almost all passing downs. Dak has to be able to make the hot read and stick the throw. If he can beat the blitz a few times they will back off and Zeke will kill them with the run game.
