Vick/Reid Already Focused on Packers

[pbmax]

I remember back in the day how it wasn't really a racist comment....just speaking what is fact, and reading it again today I still feel that way. Someone at cbs wanted him gone and this was what it took.

Except historians and geneticists have found that it didn't happen that way. So ol' Jimmy was just repeating an old saw to explain achievement away as something other than hard won. Other than that, its a perfect theory.

oh i remember all the stupid things he said. he was an idiot.

Vick has one bad game and suddenly everyone i slike "omg here we go again".

News flash: Rodgers had the best game of his life last week, and this week he looked average... at best. Do we suddenly think Rodgers sucks? Of course not. vick is fine, and anyone blowing up Kolb going in for vick in the playoffs is just trying to start something htat isn't there.

As long as teh game is close and vick can play, he'll be the guy. His teamates believe in him, and you cannot argue with his results this year. Vick has been nothing short of stellar outside of ONE game. He's beaten us in the playoffs before when he wasn't nearly as complete of a player as he is now, and he has a lot of speed players around him. Our defense is amazing, but vick found a way with all healthy guys to carve us up some in week one. Be interesting if we can contain him this time, and if we have enough "speed" to stop their speed guys. We know collins is fast, but I don't know if williams and woodson can run with jackson every play, let alone someone grabbing that RB of their out of the back field. Guy is freaky fast.

Sam Shields says "hi".

Just my opinion, but GB has one of the fastest Ds in the league when they're not in their all beef look.

Not at all, Vick doesn't stink. But unlike the start to his year, there is film on him and people can scheme him again. Think about how the Giants were able to hold him in check until 8 minutes to go in their game. And even then, it took an onside kick and a punt return TD to score enough points to overcome the deficit.

It will be a much different matchup this time than it was in the second half of the first game. And if one weakness is reading the blitz, then that can play into the Packers D hands.

Vick scares me only because I still have nightmares of hardy Nickerson chasing Vick all over lambast however many years back.

Relax. TT has assured me he is not bringing back Hardy Nickerson for this game.

Um. I am going red reading this, cause my buddy from Idaho told me that African Americans were nbred to be big and strong. I believed that. What did historians and geneticists discover? A link will do, don't wanna clutter up the thread.

Uh oh, this could get heated...maybe not a topic for the Green Bay Packers forum?

Inbred? Certainly not the majority. I think its a combination of nature and nurture. Obviously between Africa and America there were plenty of hostile environments which would have led to natural selection. I personally believe that African American dominance in athletics has just as much to do with their unique culture than any genetic advantage they might have. Lets not forget that black women are statistically the most obese ethnic group in America, breeding should have affected them too. Whatever it is I'm grateful for it when the Olympics roll around because America finds a way to compete with countries with many times our population. Athletics are just more important here.

Always found vick to be kinda stu-stu-stupid in the brain. I doubt an extra week of study is gonna do shit for him. In the loss to the vikings he looked like the old vick who would get hurt running because the passing game would break down for him. He took alot of shots and was starting to break. Pack will finish him IMO.

IMO it's not ' Rocket Science ' what MM has to do to game plan for 'the Eagles'. Focus alot of attention on containing M. Vick and the passing game. Vick can't score enough points rushing to overcome OUR passing attack.

We don't want to get into a shootout with this bunch. Being in Philly will also be a factor. Hostile place.

I really believe that 'the Packers' are the tem to watch in the playoffs. Damn I wish we had a more reliable rushing game to control the clock with. That's too long been our 'Achilles Heal' and hopefully will be cornered this off season.

GO PACKERS !

Good point VPF.

Tar! I will send you a PM as soon as you clear out some space in your Inbox.

Oddly enough it sounds like something tank would write.

I think Rodgers should have more success against Philly than he did against the bares - providing our WRs don't get another case of the dropsies - because Philly's D isn't as good as Chicago's.
