Predict the score: Packers at Rams

[wist43]

St Louis doesn't present much of a challenge in the passing game... mainly b/c of their patchwork OL, so Capers should be able to load up against the run.

We have our own OL problems... so you would expect a low scoring game - fantasy wise, I need Jennings to put up something other than a goose egg

[Tyrone Bigguns]

We've held AP in check before, why do we think it's impossible?

Not impossible, merely unlikely.

Really? Are we worse than Detroit? they held AD in check.

Ty would say it is more likely we hold him in check than not, considering we have done so 3 of 4 times (check to ty means AD will rush for 100 yards or so..or less) and have won 3 of the last 4....losing when AD went unchecked.

Let's concentrate on bottling up Steven Jackson before we think about AP and MN.

27-17, Good Guys.

He averaged over 6 yards a carry against Det and had 4 catches and a TD.

Not exactly "holding in check"....In addition, could they hold Cedric Benson "in check"? I rest my case.



edit: In 2008 he averaged 5+ yards a carry and 100+ yards in the first meeting and went off for 192 in the second. I know in his rookie year he got hurt one game and he didn't get but 3 carries in the second half as a coaches decision (in the other game I believe). Not sure where you are coming from on this one.

Packers 41
Rams 2
The Pack don't even need to practice for this game. They should just sit around and bulk up on carbo's and beer and whatnot and just watch film on the Queens.

[Rastak]

I'll say Packers 21 Rams 17.

[Tarlam!]

Ras, we're all jealous the Vikings have AP. Don't rub it in you showboat!

You got Ryan Grant, perhaps a top 3 back in the league per Tex.....by the way, where the hell did he go?

[Tarlam!]

Dunno where Tex is, but I miss him.

I'll trade you Ryan Grant for AP, Ras. I'm pretty certain I can get TT to pull the trigger on that trade.

Jennings and Rodgers for Peterson and Berrian.



edit: Sorry about the thread jack......and....not 100% sure I'd do that deal....lol...

[Charles Woodson]

Are we that much worse than Washington and Seattle? Come on people, Saint Louis has put up one touchdown all season... If we lose, or dont blow them out then the sky really will be falling.

Packers:41
Rams:13

[RashanGary]

Packers by 10.

Average....that is less important that the total yards. He had less than 100 rushing. That is check. Especially when you consider what he did against the browns. Any team will be more than happy to see him only rush 15 times for 92...with his longest run being 15 yards. Considering that AD is going to get 80 yards is almost a foretold conclusion.

BTW, your edit just proves my point. I said 100 or so yards. Average is fine. Total rushing...is what matters and the # of rushes. The rest of your argument is an excuse...injuries, coaches...at the end of the day he was held in check. Out of check is 150 plus yards...running wild. Anytime you hold AD to 19 rushes and 103 yards and 1 td..that is in check. 12 for 100 or so...no tds...in check.

Benson: there are a ton of factors including better WRs and better QB. But, most importantly, this is a divisional rivalry game. That is a big factor. Quickly you forget that we held Forte in check.

So, disregard all the other analysis...average, #of rushes, tds, etc....2 games 1 in check, 1 out of check...that would put us at 50% check rate....far from "unlikely". I rest my case.

No worries, as only a Viking GM would make that trade.

We would never trade Arod and Jennings for Peterson and Berrian.
