Talking Packers - What do you know?

I don't think we come out with a W, but it would not be the world's biggest upset if it happened.

On the downside, the Packers are a solid team, just got embarrassed in LA by the Chargers, and, after a bye, have another west coast game, this time against the 49ers.  They probably see this is a game they have to win.

On the upside, statistically it looks like a winnable game, the Chargers game plan seems like the kind of plan Rivera would execute (control the ball, keep the defense off the field, and grind away), and I don't think the Packers are as good as their record would indicate.  In other words, "they're good, but they ain't that good."

Then again, the 49ers are good, but they "ain't that good (51-13)" too.

Unfortunately, this is exactly the kind of game we have historically not win.  Rivera coached teams seem to do better against teams that we look like we have no chance to beat.  Games against good teams in which we may be underdogs but could beat worry me.

All depends on if the Panthers can keep consistent pressure on Rodgers. I think they'll figure out how to contain the Packers' run game. They don't use misdirections to the degree the 49ers do. But Rodgers can carve you up if he's comfortable. Sacks are great, but it isn't enough. Could get 7 or 8 sacks and still get beaten pretty bad.
