Sturm - Marinelli Report - Aaron Rodgers

[Irvin88_4life]

If GB scores 30 points our chances of winning are about 15%. If Dallas controls TOP and plays with a lead, GB doesn't get 30 and DAL wins.

What Dallas can't score 30 points? They already did in GB

Yep. And I think we deserve that edge because we are clearly the better TEAM.

Yes they have the almighty Aaron Rodgers, but as I mentioned in a previous thread- they have NOT been a good team when playing on the road this year, and they have NOT played well when facing teams who have a good offense. They're good at beating up on inferior opponents, which we are anything but.

If we do what we've done for the majority of the season, we win. We are easily the least flawed team in the conference, if not the league.

I'm so ready to watch us play in a conference championship game.

Completely agree. We are the better all around team. They had zero answers for us last time we played. Zeke did what he wanted and so did Dak. If they try to stack the box, Dak should be able to easily throw on them. Many times have tried to stack the box and stop our run and many teams failed.. including the Packers last time we played them and they had the #1 run defense. The only thing the Packers have is Rodgers. He is awesome and all but he needs more of a team around him to be able to beat us. Only way we lose this game is if we beat ourselves IMO.

Whatever Rodgers does, it is s scary proposition that we will have to beat the 3 QBs that are playing the best right now

That is a tough ask

 

[percyhoward]

Granted, he did score points against good defenses (NY, Minny and Seattle) on this present run but all three of those teams lacked a potent offense.

Offensive Drives of 4 plays or less vs. Packers
Seahawks 7
Vikings 7
Giants 8

Recipe for a tired defense.

Don't let Rodgers and the Pack get out to an early lead and we should be fine. If they get up by two scores, I do not feel confident playing catch-up

First to 35, and a win...

This game can't get here soon enough.

The bye week has made this board extra restless.

I just hope all of the fans, talking heads, pundits, etc, don't forget how unbeatable they made Aaron Rodgers sound after we win.

Count on it - I fully expect to hear how losing Jordy Nelson is the only reason they lost (if they indeed do). It would be typical.

Good stuff. What I'm hoping for is that Rodgers "gets his" between the 20's. Our defense has had something good going in the red zone all year. If we can turn several of those Rodgers drives into field goals, and if our offense avoids giving him extra possessions while scoring TD's in the red zone (again, what we've been seeing all year), then I think we win this game.

The one thing I remember from that game was a lot of missed throws by Rogers, our guys were out of position or beaten of quite a few of them. If they don't stay in their lanes he'll get them.

He'll get them even if they do, that was the worst I've seen Rodgers play when he was relatively unpressured. Not sure the playoff book from our first encounter has too much relevance.

We need to score early and often and punish receivers in the middle - Cobb can't run free without consequence.

I look forward to it.

if we win turnover battle, we win

He's the same player who lost to Dallas. He can lose again. He is a man.

Definitely not the same player. He looked like a shell of his former self back then. Now, only Brady is a better QB. This is not going to be some cakewalk.

He IS the same player. You can say he's playing better right now, but he's the same guy. It wasn't someone else out there wearing his jersey. He can have another bad game.

I noticed he stood in that pocket longer than normal waiting for receivers to get open. Wouldn't be surprised to see that again on Sunday. Need to pressure him in the 3-2 set.

Thats means pressuring him with 3 DL and a LB.

I'm not sure how comfortable I am rushing with just 4.

That October game was obviously a huge aberration, I don't think anybody on our defense thinks they'll be that lucky again. We are going to have to score at lot to win - which we are capable of doing.
