What Will We Witness?

[Tarlam!]

We saw a shootout the last time these teams met and we Pack fans still have a residual bad taste at how it went down.

Two of the top defenses are squaring off this time around, so I doubt either team puts 30 plus on the board.

NFL.com has a good piece on Capers vs. LeBeau. Apparently, they fathered the 3-4 together. My belief is the kickers will make the difference.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

This line of yours is vaguely creepy: "Apparently, they fathered the 3-4 together."

Eeeewww!

[Bretsky]

I expect a high scoring game and I'd bet the over

If we can hold the Steelers rush their secondary can be exposed badly; and Big Ben is a gamer and I expect him to play above his head

Sounds like a really bad chapter in the Kama Sutra

An appropriately alliterative answer:

Raji rails rapist Roehtlisburger, Rodgers rumbles 'round rambunctiously.

Ten touchdowns to triumph!

i said it earlier in the season. the packers are not built for cold shitty weather. with our air attack we are much more built for playing indoors and in nice weather. and an article that came out a couple days ago seems to reinforce that idea. we are great in domes.

the steelers on the other hand are mudders. they are built like i thought we should be. they can grind it our it crappy weather

a-rod and the wr's are licking their chops right now. MM and his love for the verticle passing game is perfect for playing in the dome

our defenses should cancel each other out. capers and lebeau should know what the other guy is going to do and they should be figuring out how to beat it. i'm not scared at all of mendenhall, he had a nice game against the jets, but that was more of a freak game then anything. we've played and shut down better RB's. and our air attack is just way way better then theirs.

it really wouldn't surprise me if we come out with MM's foot putting the pedal all the way to the floor boards and we just blow them out. i really think we have the potential to do that

Damn great post Red. I agree, the game is there for the passing game to win it. With Starks drawing attention it should be enough to get at least one guy open. I like ARod's chances of finding him. IMO the bears defense was more concerning than the Steelers. I cant wait for the game.

[Freak Out]

The key is to fucking pour it on if we get a lead...don't get to fancy but keep working with what got ya there.

The Bears' pass rush is average. The Packers o-line will be tested this week. If they play like they did in Detroit it will be a tough game.

Well, if Packers O-Line plays the way they played against Detroit, we'll probably see Matt Flynn at some point.

Rodgers and Roethlisberger are both great at evading the rush and finding someone open downfield. I think whichever one does it the best will be the MVP.

[VermontPackFan]

Low scoring defensive struggle is the way I see it, could come down to a Crosby field goal. If we cannot establish some sort of running game, Rodgers will be pounded and it will not be pretty. Our D will hold their offense in check, for us to win our offensive line has to play its best opening holes for Starks and protecting ARod.

This is what it comes down; Driver acknowledged this too yesterday. The Packers OL better be ready & focused or it'll be a long day. The pressures and looks, from Steelers front seven, will create havoc from the get go - hope our OL guys are there to fight.

This is our weak spot & Steelers know it.

[Tarlam!]

I agree, Michael. I am really worried about the Campen coached OL. I think you hit it dead on.

There is an "aber dabei"...for the Steelers D; if Rodgers is elusive'n'decisive & our receivers win the 1-on-1 battles plus zones....oh we win baby!

[Smeefers]

I think we spread em out all day long. With DD and Nelson in the slots and JJ and GJ outside. Force them to either put Harrison and Woodley into coverage or take them out of the game all together. They have a very strong linebacker crew, either attack it our take it out of the game. I don't want to see a lot of I formation 2 tight end sets out there. I want to see them force us to run. I want to see our passing game take over for our running game. If we force them to play the pass, our running game will catch on and if we throw them off balance enough they wont be able to stop us.

That's just me though.
