How Will The Packers Do In The Playoffs?

[Joemailman]

One and done? Superb Owl Champs? Somewhere In Between?

Poll To Follow.

Unless Rodgers can significantly improve his accuracy, they'll be one-and-done.

Unless Rodgers can significantly improve his accuracy, they'll be one-and-done.

I can understand people feeling that way, but I'm not so sure. Reason is, Rodgers' accuracy is not a major reason this team won 13 games. They won 13 games because of turnover differential and red zone efficiency. If they falter in one of those areas, they may be one and done.

If this team were led by a vintage Rodgers, they'd go toe-to-toe with anybody, and beat most of 'em - the defense is the best that Green Bay has had since that 2013 or 14 year - when they lost to Seattle in the NFC Championship game. The special teams is solid now, with Crosby and Scott bouncing back and Ervin on returns solidifying that part.

They have the defense. They have the special teams. They have a rising star in Aaron Jones. The offensive line, I don't care what Tex says, is solid. They have an All-Pro receiver in Davante Adams.

But their tight end corps is weak, as is the receiving corps not named Adams or Lazard.

But the biggest problem will be Rodgers's accuracy. Green Bay cannot beat a playoff-caliber team if Rodgers can't get his accuracy back for the playoffs. Teams with quarterbacks like Brees and Wilson will overwhelm the Packers if Rodgers can't play better than he has lately. The defense can only hold up for so long against guys like those two.

Agreed! It’s in Rodgers hands.

[wist43]

Yeah, we're one and done.

We're gonna draw NO in the 2nd rd... NO is a very good, very experienced team.

Lefleur made some stupid mistakes in the Lions game, so he has some learning to do; Rodgers is a shell of his former self physically, and who knows what the fuck he's looking at while in the pocket; the defense is much improved, but very Jekyl and Hyde...

Brees and co will roll us pretty easily I think.

Keep in mind Brees and Sean Payton are 7-1 in the dome in the playoffs, 1-5 elsewhere. They're just not the same in the cold.

I'm gonna withhold my vote for now. I'm reasonably sure we win in the division round, but I can't bring myself to predict either losing or winning against the Niners - ditto that against the Ravens if in fact when we play either of them.

I say again, New Orleans is overrated. I'd be more confident against them than the Vikings a third time.

[texaspackerbacker]

Joe, you shouldn't have closed the vote before we even know who we play first.

Poll is still open.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm pessimistic because anything older than about three days is a blur.

[Bossman641]

The offense has been just- missing opportunities for weeks now. I'm as pissed as anyone in the number of shot plays Rodgers took Sunday but if they can hit on 2/3 of those per game I still think they can beat any of the NFC teams. Brees and the Saints are gonna look a lot different in 20 degree weather.

[Cheesehead Craig]

All the way baby!

[Freak Out]

SF almost lost to a team with street pickup RBs.

[call_me_ishmael]

With New Orleans I always expect 8-0 at home, 4-4 on the road. To me, that means they're beatable in the cold. I voted but if I could retract it, I would. I think they win the first game. We'll see how everyone looks this the next two weeks and go from there.

[MadtownPacker]

First game gets everyone’s hopes up. Second game leaves us all crushed after they get oh so close.

It’s the embarrassing dismantling game like the San Fran 9ers one that scares the bejayzuz out of me. I think I could stomach a close loss much-much easier.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Packers over Saints

Packers over Seagulls

Packers over Patriots
