Aaron Rodgers eats defenses like this for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Saints have huge offensive numbers because they HAVE to score 40 just to win. Rodgers throws for 195 and 3 TDs and sits out in the 4th quarter.
Saints will come out with some emotion and keep pace early, but their defense will be gassed in the second half and Lacy is going to pound them to death.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
The Packers defense is superior to the Saints defense, so I expect to see 28+ points from Green Bay. Brees will have some success but I don't see them scoring more than 24.
FYI, New Orleans is ranked 21st, Green Bay is 3rd. It seems to be a rule that ST and Defense can't be good at same time. ST ranking falling as D picks up.

Also of note, Football Outsiders has Miami ranked 10th overall and Advanced NFL Stats has described them this way:

Just peeked at the efficiency rankings. MIA #2??? But consider #1 pass D, #9 run D, #1 run O, and #2 least penalized. But pass O bad (#31).

I was going to post about that play in the Fin game, King.
P is right, I don't JMF made a block his rookie season.
One of you TE's, make the jump, a TE threat is all we need to make this O unstoppable.
It'll be interesting to see a couple things: one, how this D does indoors on a fast track, and two, how Bulaga does indoors, on the road, on a fast track.

Advanced NFL Analytics has the Packers at 4 and New Orleans at 15. Interesting, according to their efficiency ratings, Packers D ranks higher than Packer O (6 to 10) which is good because New Orleans has the 2nd ranked offense, but 28th rated D.

Under Payton (meaning excluding the Bountygate year), Saints have won 19 straight at home and are an insane 17-1-1 against the spread. We absolutely need to get off to a fast start Sunday night.

#Packers Insider blog: Secondary less than full strength with Morgan Burnett, Sam Shields not practicing. http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...cing/17722699/ …
I apparently missed something regarding Burnett's status. Anyone got an idea?

Saw something about Burnett's injury being related to his calf, no other info though.
Any information on the severity of Shields injury? All I've seen is 'knee'.

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
Looks like McCarthy brought up the injuries during his press conf today but I didn't see anything specifically mentioned or asked about Burnett. Maybe there's another report out there that is more in depth than the one I just read though.
Hey, most people should be thrilled. Last summer, lots of people were calling for Wunderkinds Micah Hyde and Clinton-Dix to start ahead of Burnett.
Guess Burnett has showed you idiots.
Actually, I think I was one of the people hoping Burnett would get beat out. He really has been a pleasant surprise. Maybe the competition lit a fire? More likely, he was better than we thought all along, and his shitty partner at safety last year put more pressure on him.
