I somehow get to see the New England Patriots play a lot.Originally Posted by pbmax
This could be a real dog fight or the Pat's might blow us out. The Packers have to be really up for this home game on both sides of the ball.
Aaron Rodgers doesn't take a back seat to Tom Brady in the friendly confines of Lambeau Field. Yet Aaron Rodgers has to challenge Darrell Revis (recall the Seahawks and R. Sherman?) and have confidence in whatever WR is covered by him (Jordy Nelson).
A key to a win is for the Packer pass rush to be effective to win the battle of the clock and rest our 'D'. The defense cannot allow Tom Brady to get into any rhythm. If that's the case we'll be forced to win in a shoot out.
WR's Brandon LaFell, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola and watch out for Tim Wright are very solid. Julian Edelman can be scary. All of their WR's are quick and elusive.
We are in a certain disadvantage at the TE position. Whoever has to cover Gronk has to work his tail off.
I give our rushing game a slight edge as long as Eddie Lacy is good to go.
The New England 'D' is solid all over. I give their 'D' the edge.
I'll add this:
Rodgers: Packers-Patriots Isn't Me Against Tom Brady
