Looked around a few Packers message boards

SMH, Packer fan here. When did the Packers play the Ravens? I am getting old but I don't think they were on the schedule this year. I don't remember an overtime game either.
Oops!

There I go again, relying on a flawed memory. It was the Rams that lost their one game to the Ravens. Good catch, and sorry for the false information.

It does seem like even the wildcard teams this season are very competitive.in the NFC.

Looking at the 2nd half of the season, many teams in the NFC finished strong with some pretty good momentum.

The Rams went 7-1 and three teams in the NFC went 6-2. They are the Cowboys, 49ers, and Packers.

I've listened to many analysts saying that the AFC is the strongest conference but it is the NFC that is trending stronger in the second half of the season.

For the last 8 games, the top four teams and five of the first six top teams in offensive yardage are NFC.

Offensive yardage (Last half of season)

1.49ers
2. Rams
3. Packers
4. Lions
6. Cowboys

Four teams are tied for the 2nd half of the season in least turnovers and both the Cowboys and Packers are in that group.

This is what worries me about the playoffs. I don't see any team left that can't have their way with our defense. All it takes is a few bad possessions in a row and we could be looking at a big deficit.

Offense is going to have be clicking because I don't trust to lean on this defense in the playoffs at all.

Need to pressure Love all game.
Yeah I’m kind of nervous about it myself. They are deep at receiver. Even if Watson doesn’t play. This is one of those games we need to go up 7-0.

Most of their fans are very confident that they'll win. And I have no problem with that.

The thing that stuck with me the most is that they keep bringing up past wins over us as a reason they should beat us....

....but don't seem to understand that they had Aaron "The Devil Himself" Rodgers as a QB back then. :laugh:


I have nothing against Jordan Love, but I really hope we destroy them.
Key to having Rodgers was the star power and TV commercials. Much like Mahomes now. It is important that the players doing those commercials nationwide make it to the AFC/NFC title games. Their teams get every call whether they need it or not. Love won't get the same respect.

They are 7.5 point dogs. The Packers are likely to lose this game.

Look, if I were a fan of a team playing the Cowboys, given the postseason track record of late, I'd be confident too.

Gotta get pressure on Love. You can't let him sit back there. He can do real damage. LaFleur is an underrated play designer. He's going to have some things for us, for sure.
Green Bay's post season record the last few years is nothing to write home about

7+ point road underdogs rarely win NFL playoff games. It happens about once every 5 years.

They can feel that way but this GB Team is not scaring anyone. If we do our job we win this. Only the Cowboys can beat the Cowboys at home and this is what should worry you the way we shot ourselves in the foot the past weeks.

Their team isn't good
I wouldn't say that.
They have two more-than-capable running backs, a QB who gets the ball out quickly and young, fast receivers.
Their defense isn't that good, but this team won't be a cakewalk.

Dollars to donuts, they're gonna "screen" us to death. That seems to be a weakness of our defense.
We better be ready.

The only way we lose this game is if we beat ourselves.
We should win by 20 at least.

I feel like ppl are underestimating Jordan Love. He was second in tds only to Dak. The packers can score. This will probably be one of the best offense we face all year

Not many fans of a team would admit they may lose. So what would you expect to see on a Packers forum fill with Packers fans?

Really? San Fran will obliterate our defense.
