Things to fear:
Ballhawking defense, fact we wont have to play in cold weather at least in round 1.
Why does that matter? Were a passing team. The indoors stuff actually helps us. -
I really don't understand the fear of the Eagles. They have squeaked by a few teams that they probably should have lost to and aren't dominating by any stretch of the imagination.
I am worried about the quickness of Jackson and Maclin, but think Woodson/Williams is actually a better matchup then Woodson/Harris would be. Offensively, I think our multi WR and Finley sets can shred their defense.Go PACKComment

It would definitely be an offensive battle. They would shred the Packers D as bad as anyone has.Originally posted by Bossman641Comment

To me the wildcards are Westbrook/McCoy and Celek. I think Woodson/Williams can neutralize Jackson and Maclin. Personally, I don't fear Reggie Brown or Jason Avant at all. The TE and RB's could hurt us though.Originally posted by ICU81MI
On the flip side though, can anybody tell me anything about the Eagles 3rd and 4th CB's, Joselio Hanson and Dimitri Patterson?Go PACKComment

The fear of the Eagles is because they are one of the hot teams in the league and they have lots of fast offensive weapons. Then entire state media believes that the Packers have no pass D since Al Harris got hurt; to them this is an unwinnable game.
As it usually is with the media, groupthink has taken some interesting facts and run off with them to find the Hale Bopp comet. They have forgotten about the Eagles weaknesses, their inability to run, their suddenly porous defense and Andy Reid's league-leading bad clock management.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

there's nothing to fear. we're back in the playoffs. the future looks great (as long as the labor situation is ironed out). even playing on the road isn't a bad thing. good weather and domes just means weather won't be an issue like the last time we were in the playoffs. as fans we'd like to see games in Lambeau but ask the players and they'll say warm is better...i think rodgers already has said as much.

The only things we don't rank high in are sacks allowed, penalties, and special teams. We have been MUCH better in those things in the second half of the season. That gives me a lot of hope. The thing that scares me the most are special teams. Our punter is below average, our punt returner is nothing special (although I like Jordy on kickoff returns), our coverage is inconsistent, and our kicker is shaky right now."There's a lot of interest in the draft.

how sore is McNabb's hammy? Just when you think you have that guy wrapped up and defeated he runs for 29 yards on third and 28 - or throws for 27 on fourth and 26.Originally posted by pbmaxThe fear of the Eagles is because they are one of the hot teams in the league and they have lots of fast offensive weapons.

What I like about us is that we've been deeply flawed all year and we've learned how to troubleshoot pretty well. While Minny and NO have been the media darlings and putting on a show, we've been fighting along and learning how to win despite our flaws. Poor line play, no running game, too many penalties, special teams fuckups, not enough pressure on the QB, the loss of two probowl players, and lately an (exposed?) secondary.
And we're 10-5 despite all of that. That's a lot of shit to have overcome. In a way, the Eagles and Cards are in the same boat as we are, they've had their own set of issues. Talent-wise, the field is pretty level. It's just that our flaws were exposed early and often and the two top teams have been shown up late.
We'll see if they adjust, but their balls are showing and we're holding the same big spiked bat that we have learned to use on opponents more than on ourselves. We'll see how good our aim is with that sucker.

I'm a bit disappointed the NFL Network is hyping Dallas, Phily, and AZ as danger teams and seem to be ignoring GB and the Vikes as serious threats
I don't see why AZ or DAL are more of a threat than the Packers are. MN is slumping on defense so I get that.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment
