Peter has 3 guests, two of which, Ted Thompson and Bob McGinn, spend nearly all their time talking about the Packers as you might imagine. The third guy, Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders gets in some non Packer stuff.
Tidbits:
1. Bob seems much less worried about one NFC Division winner than the others and might not be the one you think.
2. Peter disagrees because the QB on that team "has a will to do whatever it takes to win"
3. Peter feels that Sean Payton will run 40+ times versus the Packers to neutralize Rodgers versus the porous Packer defense.*
4. Ted Thompson confirms Tebowing while deciding to hire McCarthy over Payton, Bates, et al. Otherwise, not much else new.

Games that Sean Payton has called for more than 40 rushes (notice a flaw?):
