Our defense was always going to get better as the season goes on.

If our defense isn’t good enough now then it probably never will be.

It’s up to the offense to score more points. Even against the Bucs our offense should’ve scored more with the Turnovers they had.

Asking a defense to shut down Brady or Rodgers is just no realistic. It’s time for the offense and all of the major investments to overcome an elite QB.

Im looking right at Dak too. We want to all boast about how great he is and how elite he is and MVP this and comeback player that. Go beat some real teams in the post season because your currently equipped with the best Roster in the NFC if not the entire NFL.

We saw against New England and a rookie QB that the defense hasn’t gotten better. We’ve been giving up multiple chunk plays in every game all season. Our D is certainly better than last season but there’s holes that a great QB will take advantage of. We can get better once DLaw and Neville Gallimore return. Tristan Hill may be able to provide something upfront. We’re simply not going to get over the hump if we continue having to depend on our offense scoring 30+. It’s an absolute must that our pass rush gets better. Tom Brady’s and Aaron Rodgers kryptonite has been a strong consistent pass rush.

Y’all are nuts to want to play them.

Are we better than them? Sure.. But Rodgers is just a little weasel that can beat you nearly by himself.

Ive learned my lesson and want no part of GB even though on paper we should smash them.

I'm not confident this Quinn defense matches up well with Rodgers.

we're still at the bottom of the league in sacks, and for whatever reason we've always had issues rushing Rodgers
by that time we'd hope to have Dlaw, a more developed Gregory and Osa, ..and i'd have to see how Gallimore and Hill are
when they finally do return, as they are still short on game experience and development.

and we may bring up Rodgers, but guys like Aaron Jones has managed to cut us in half as well too.,

The Packers can race with us in a track meet. They can holster up with us in a scoring shootout.
i would see our best bet is running the ball to keep touches away from Rodgers, and hope it's our day when it comes to turnovers

Teams like Niners (vs run) and last year Bucs have did a number on the Packers defense in playoffs, which has failed and collapsed on them 2 years Str8.

I am loving what I am seeing but I am not ready to start calling out people like Rogers just yet. And as far as Brady goes he already beat us once this year. No one should ever want to play Brady.

We won’t get past Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady if the defense doesn’t get better. Our pass rush isn’t good enough and we give up too many big plays.
This is the sad truth. It feels like a lot of our fans haven't grasped this yet.

This roster has quite a bit of playoff experience and a Coach that’s won a Super Bowl.
But this roster doesn’t have much successful experience in playoffs . And haven’t appeared in 3 years.

I certainly wouldn’t put that up against any of the top teams in NFC except AZ.

And no HC has ever won a SB for another team.

Of course it is too early to be talking playoff matchups but I am anyway.

There is just something about this season that will not be complete if we do not face them in the playoffs.

First, we have the hold Rodgers has had over the Cowboys in the playoffs.

Next, we have the redemption and revenge of McCarthy against his old team that sent him packing and promptly went to back to back NFCCG.

But that's not really it. Rodgers is my second least favorite player in my history of watching the game, right behind vick.

Aarongance Rodgers and those closeups and that smugness makes me want to hit him in the face with an iron skillet. Then there's the fact that he really is a great QB to further infuriate me. vick was totally overrated, Rodgers is not and he is the most accurate passer I have ever seen play.

I know some would prefer to avoid them with our history but not me, I want the Packers in the playoffs. With the way AZ, TB, GB and LAR are playing, there isn't going to be an easy path to the SB anyway so I want us to exorcise that Packer playoff demon for this team and this HC. I love redemption games.

Please, no need to tell me I am putting the cart before the horse, I just want the cart to run over that horse's ***.

would be satisfying to beat them along the way, but i couldn't care less.

Why can’t our offense out score theirs?

Dallas has an entirely better roster than both of those teams.

We need the 85 Bears defense too?

The Cowboys defense right now is really good for modern day standards. It’s not some weakness. It’s been just as big over this stretch of wins as any aspect of the team.

They can never grasp it when we’re playing well. Many live in the moment. Maybe some haven’t been fans long enough to know what’s happened to our defense in the playoffs the past couple of decades especially against Hall of Fame QBs. It’s been a depressing trend.

I hear ya but there’s no asterisk by those Rings.

Id be just fine avoiding them en route to SB. And I’d much rather face the Bengals in SB that Balt, KC, Buff or Tenn. lol

Give me the least road of resistance.
I am exactly the opposite and those 90's games against the Niners were special, I would have felt cheated if we didn't play them.

You play golf, don't you? Familiar with the term "cup hunter"? These people shade their handicaps to play against the lesser competition so they can win trophies only they are cheaters. They cheat themselves out of measuring themselves against the best because they fear on measuring up.

You are never going to know how the big dog's food tastes if you avoid going to his bowl.

Now, the question will arise are they the team to beat so the Cowboys might not be facing the best but because of the Cowboys history with him and them, I want to face him when it counts the most.

There are 5 teams in the NFC that I think are really close: AZ, TB, DAL, LAR and GB and January is a long way off. AZ is the only one of those we'll face before then and we are 0-1 against that field as of today.

Well go win then.

There is no excuse for this team to not win in the playoffs with this roster.

If you put Dak on GB and Rodgers with Dallas does that suddenly flip your narrative?

It’s time to stop making these weird excuses about “playoff experience” and time to go get the stinkin job done for once.

It’s never going to get better than it is right now. They have the horses now go do it.

Our defense is below average statistically. Without the turnover differential our season would be much different.

the pass rush has been pretty solid imo. getting tank back will only improve that aspect (along with galimore hopefully) and parson's is obviously still the x factor there. big plays are a definite achilles though

I understand but the proven success is paramount. I’m always going to favor a proven contender over an up and coming one.

There’s only one way for that to change. I’m not saying it’s not possible, I just don’t expect it. And need to see it .

Although Prescott has already won and Lambo. I want them in Texas. Referees have no choice but to play it even

Yes he’s a little weasel. And the media and the referees protect him
