Aaron Rodgers to practice Thursday; will play Sunday with torn calf muscle *merge*

I regret to say I think we might have to come from behind at some point in this game.

That could be the case. After all it is a football game not a scripted movie. lol

but you won't mean it if we win

actually I will. I am over a football game within a half hour of watching it. But the three hours it is going on, I have bad words that will flow off my tongue if something goes wrong.

Matt, your enthusiasm is admirable but misguided. The Packers were up by over four touchdowns at the half against Atlanta. If you don't think that the defense pulled back and started coasting through the second half, then you just started watching last week. It is just the nature of the game. I see it time and time again year after year after year. But if you want to hang your hat on those two quarters then be my guest. I would think their whole defensive play since the bye week is more representative of who they are now than those two quarters. And they have played pretty well. Did they play the greatest teams. NE is a super bowl favorite for the AFC but you skip by them like they were no big deal. It is the way you make your points. If GB did something well, it was because the other team did not do as well. I get that. But they did play well defensively over the past 9 or ten games. you criticize their secondary but that is probably their greatest strength. Packers weakness on defense is at ILB IF Hawk is in there. If not, they are better. Good luck this weekend, I think it will be a very good to great game. Maybe the best game of the postseason.

Here's the teams they played since their bye week.

CHI twice, Philly, MIN, NE, ATL, BUF, TB, and DET

There was one high octane offense they held in check slightly, and that was NE. Philly began to slow down with Mark Sanchez.

You're just a guy on the forum, and so am I. You're making the claim that the defense coasted in the second half of the Packers game, I'm saying they didn't. Guess who is the deciding factor here? All the defensive players criticizing themselves for their defensive collapse and the HC saying they have a lot of clean up.

And yes, their secondary is their "greatest strength" because their rush defense is pretty terrible.

yea, you are right. Two quarters out of 36 quarters is indicative of the way the defense has been playing over the last nine games. As far as the pass rush goes, the Packers are tied for 9th in sacks while the Cowboys are no 28. If the Packers pass rush is terrible where exactly does that place Dallas?

And I showed you their competition the last 9 weeks, and some of that weak competition they faced they didn't put up much of a convincing performance.

And I never said the Packers don't have any strengths. Their offensive line has played really well this year, if I remember correctly, they're ranked right behind the Cowboys offensive line. And obviously, you have Aaron Rodgers and their passing game.

What I'm arguing is that their defense is not a great defense, and I think I've backed that up well enough. You'll see Sunday what I mean.
