Couple of factoids about GB

[Jimz31]

Looking at the stats about GB from NFL.com

1. Offensive line play....32nd....dead last. Dallas ranks 10th.
2. Total Offense....7th. Dallas ranks 3rd.
3. Rushing Offense....10th. Dallas ranks 8th.
4. Passing Offense....9th. Dallas ranks 6th.
5. Total Defense....4th. Dallas ranks 20th.
6. Passing Defense...8th. Dallas ranks 20th.
7. Rushing Defense...9th. Dallas ranks 12th.

Amazing that they can have the worst o-line play yet not be any worse than a rank of 10 and that is in the passing offense. Just get pressure on him and he'll crumble.

They spank us overall on defense, but we have been lpaying better for the past month or so for the most part. The first couple of weeks really put us in a hole when we allowed nearly 900 yards.

They are ranked that high on defense? Everyone is able to score on them. Wow.

 

[Jimz31]

Oh yeah, they've also allowed a league-high 37 sacks...the next closest was 30.

They have been getting lit up, but the stats are mainly based upon yards gained and yards given up.

I hate the fact that defensive and offensive rankings are based on yards. Should be the amount of point a team scores and the amount of ponts a teams gives up. I Think the Cowboys D is a lot better than 20th overall and i think the Packers D is a lot worst than 4th overall. How many points their D is giving up is a better indication on how good their D is. IF you look at their wins, they have come against the Bears, Lions, Rams and Browns, hardly teams with near the offensive firepower the cowboys have and in those games their D played pretty well. But the Packers have some really bad losses where they gave up a lot of yards and points. 31 to the Bengals 30 and 38 to the Vikings and 38 to Tampa. I think the Cowboys will score at least 25 to 30 points. But, i could be absolutely wrong. lol

This thread makes me...uneasy. They get paid to play too.

...their past schedule is ranked 31st in the league...Rodgers has a very high passer rating considering the number of sacks and the harrassment he's suffered...GB would be a team to fear if they had a competent offensive line...

...rankings based only on yards are not terribly reliable...it is more a measure of efficiency than anything else...

The Cowboys rank higher than the Packers in the most important defensive statistic: points allowed.

Furthermore, the Packers' defensive rankings are bolstered by having played the Lions, Rams, Browns, and Bucs. The Rams had their second-most productive offensive outing against the Packers, and the Bucs gained only 279 yards but managed to score 38 points.

The Cardinal D of last year was never ranked high but it obviously got the job done, if not for Warner's goal line pick and Harrison's return they would've been Super Bowl champs.

24 points, 14 from the other two phases of the game.

From what was mentioned in another thread I started, Green Bay is severely padding their stats in the fourth quarter when they are trying to play catch-up.

 

[Fletch]

Green Bay is a scary opponent in the confines of Lambeau Field. I'm not going to take them lightly. To think we go in there and just take a W is not very smart. We're going to have to earn that W.

If we do roll them, I will be pleasantly surprised.

Blitz, blitz, blitz!

We have to play them like the Vikings did...Send the dogs, and keep up the score...GB can score points even with the atrocious O-Line, but because they can't pass protect to save their lives they cannot win any kind of shoot out.

 

[WarC]

The right side of their O-line is particularly weak...Barbre is a turnstile, he's surrendered a great deal of those sacks. The Vikings keyed in on him both games and it worked. Ratliff should have a nice day.

Don't the #s you posted just contradict that statement? Rogers has done well under perhaps the most pressure of any qb in the league.

 

[skinsscalper]

Alot of us will use statistics to illustrate a point or strengthen an argument that we have (I've certainly been guilty). So, I'll have to claim hypocrisy for a bit, here, and say that the defensive standings mean very little to me. I remember years where were ranked in the top ten, but couldn't seem to get a critical stop at a critical moment to save our lives. This year we may not be ranked with the elite, as far as stats go, but we are getting the stops that in years past we let slip by. I'll take mentality over a collection of numbers any day.

Huh? Don't these numbers say the opposite? Despite having tons of pressure on him, he's kept their offense rolling along. These are not the numbers of someone who crumbles.

Yes we need to unleash the beast!

i dont think we are going to blitz a whole lot when rushing 4 or 5 will do the trick against their porous O-line.
