At the beginning of the season, I heard a Packers fan call in to NFL Radio and say that they should fire McCarthy and hire Bill Belichick.

Wonder if this "fan" lives in Fresno California and wears a plastic wedge of cheese as a hat?

There is one really important stat that will be required to keep this a "Panthers" type game.

 

1st downs.

 

We get enough of them, we keep the defense rested, and Rodgers off the field.  We don't, and it could get away from us in a hurry.

Getting enough touchdowns would also work. They averaged 32 pts/gm for their 1st three, but only 19.5 over the last four. We need the lower scoring version this week.

One of our strengths (except in a monsoon,  LOL) is controlling time of possession by slowing the game down with methodical,  workman-like drives.  If we can keep (what should be) a motivated Rodgers off the field 60 percent of the time,  then I believe our chances of victory are more than good.

Just change the name from coltsfan to packersfan and it will be the same bullsht as every week. Every week we hear how we haven't beaten anyone. How weak our schedule is and if we win we will hear the same poo. Only difference will be is that Green Bay isn't playing the same as they was. They are not as good as they was earlier in the season.

 

Same bullsht different fanbase.

This is going to be a close game. This years team matches up better. Our offensive line is actually one of the best in the league. The running game is alive, if we can get more consistency from the wide outs...we have a chance to win this game out right. 

 

The Packers are a well balanced team. Honestly this will be the biggest test of the season. If we get blown out, it could be a blessing in disguise and it will bring us back down to earth. These players need to stay hungry, I know Ron is doing a wonderful job keeping them grounded so far. 

I honestly can't wait for this game. If we beat the Packers, there is no question. We are the team to beat. Beating Seattle and GB...

Every opponent forum I have been on regurgitate the same dribble. Double team Olsen and we win, keep Cam in the pocket and we win, their secondary can be exploited (although there may be some truth to this), they have no weapons, etc. It's funny, I have yet to hear from any opponent's forum about how they will stop the run (which we are #1 in the league). All I hear is how they can stop our passing game, which is the least of their worries.

Norwell's and Kalil's status wil be HUGE. Kalil should be good to go but we haven't really heard much on Norwell.

Oddly enough, we've not been playing as much ball control offense this season.  Through week 7 (I've not yet entered the Indy game data), we'd only led in time of possession in half our games:

Now some of this is due to good field position - especially against Tampa.  Short fields make for short drives.  But it seems that our offense has done some quick, efficient scoring drives in recent games.  Few 3rd downs, just moving the chains quite quickly, especially in playing No Huddle...

This game was the main one I was truly worried about...until I watched them play Denver. They didn't look nearly as elite as the media pundits would have you believe. Aaron Rodgers was limited to just 77 passing yards. I know the stats don't reflect it, but I fully believe our defense is every bit as good, if not better, than Denver's. The difference being we played without our top LB half of those games, and had other injuries on defense as well. As a healthy unit, we certainly have the talent to limit Rodgers. Also, for all the crap people give us for not having beaten anyone, who has GB beaten? Chicago, Seattle, KC, SF, Rams, and SD. Those are teams with a combined record of 17-29. So WHY is it our "easy schedule" takes away the legitimacy of our success, but not theirs?

 

Packers are not as scary as people make them out to be.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
