Who do you want to face in the first round?

The Cowboys can win their Division yet and secure a bye. So its not guaranteed the Packers get them at home yet. But it is a more likely scenario. Cowboys are not locked into the #6 seed unless they are a Wild Card.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't New Orleans and Minnesota locking up the byes? How would the Cowboys get one when there are only two to each division?

Saints have locked up one of the byes. Viking would have to win both games or win one with an eagles lost to lock up the other. Eagles get bye if they win plus one lost by the Vikings. Dallas gets bye with win plus two loss bye Vikings plus loss bye arz. Arz gets bye with win, eagles loss, 2 Vikings losses.

Add Philly to the poll...dump the Vikings. Honestly...does anyone think the Vikings will lose to both Chicago and the Giants? Those look like 2 easy wins for the purple fairies.

Like I updated my first post the only way the packers can play the eagles is if eagles and Dallas game finished in a tie.

Vikings for sure. The poll seems like a wish list and I would like nothing better then to have a chance to bitch-slap Favre.

Only New Orleans has locked in a spot for the NFC. IF Minnesota loses tonight and next week, and Philly or Dallas wins, they could move up to the #2 seed yet.

Eagles.

With the team already in the playoffs, I think both the Pack
and Cards will play a very vanilla game next week not wanting
to show each other anything they might use in a future playoff game.

I think the Packers defense can contain the Eagles wide receivers better
than the Cards. The only thing that might be a plus for GB playing in
Arizona would be better weather for the passing attack. But that also means
the Cards would have that same weather for their passing attack so
I'd rather face Philly in the first round.

I truly don't care who we play in the first round. They way our fellas are playing I have a feeling these 3 teams don't relish the idea of playing US.

I'll take whoever we get to play. I've felt for a while that this team has everything it needs to compete for the Super Bowl this year. We lost on the last play of the game against a super bowl defending Steelers team that had to win or go home. We've crushed the teams we're supposed to crush; Browns, Rams, Lions, Seahawks and since our streak began beat almost everyone. Every team in our conference is either sliding or has weaknesses that can be exploited. With our special teams playing better and the line much improved the biggest thing against us is Aaron's lack of experience in big games and Jarrett Bush. Every team can beat us but no team scares me and we can beat every team still playing. Whether we will or not is the reason we play games in January. We can run, pass, create turnovers, and we don't turn the ball over that's the recipe for January success!

I chose Arizona simply because I believe we can manhandle them like the 49ers did. They don't like to get punched in the face and if you can get to Warner early you can rattle him for the rest of the game. The Vikings didn't do this and got turned one-dimensional. Our one-dimensional is better than theirs. They don't have a TE like the teams that beat us had and they their running game is not nearly good enough to do much against us if we stay healthy. With Pickett being able to take next week off we should be good to go.

Yeah, but a hot Warner can throw 3-step routes better than anyone in the league. He seems more streaky as of late, but he has the potential to be dangerous.

Except for Al Harris.

I don't feel confident when the Packers play NFC East teams in the playoffs. Giants, Cowboys, Eagles...we've never done particularly well against those teams. Going into Dallas I wouldn't mind that much (since we're in the post-Favre era, Aaron played great when he had to fill in for Favre on that Thursday Night Game). Going into Philly scares me a lot. I have no problem playing the Eagles in Green Bay, but going into Philly changes a lot. It's such a hostile environment that I don't know how the younger players would respond to it, even a guy like Aaron.

Arizona, on the other hand, is the perfect environment for this team to play in. Plays to our strengths. Of course, it plays to AZ's strengths as well, but I've got confidence that our defense could take Warner out of his comfort zone.

I want the Vikings. Rodgers wants his pay back. Vikings look weak on D. Bears Offense going up and down the field. Like they are playing the Lions. Bears could even do this vs Rams. They scored 17 points vs the Rams.

I think a lot of people are eager to play Minnesota based on their last two games--but remember that those losses were both on the road. If the Packers get the Vikings, it'll be in the HHH Metrodome where they are a different team. All four of their losses this year were on the road.

But Packer fans have more money and we follow our team. This could be a home game just not in Wisconsin. Most of the fan going to the Viking home games are Packer fans who jumped ship and are following Favre. This might be the game that brings them back.
