It has been an impressive run...but our defense still doesn't inspire much confidence. All the injuries have taken an enormous toll...and the teams left all have MVP-caliber QBs and plenty of weapons for them to use. We hung on by a thread to beat Dallas...which isn't anything to scoff at. Dallas is a damn good team. However, we absolutely dominated the first 20+ minutes of that game...and wound up having to kick two challenging field goals in order to pull it out.
I still don't think this team has enough left in the tank on defense to earn a championship. Matthews and Ha-Ha have been mostly invisible this postseason. Our pass rush just isn't getting the job done, and we don't have enough in the back half for that to continue much longer. Our defense does not need to stop the other offense...but we need to make 3-4 big plays a game that swing momentum.
It has been a hell of a ride and I'm proud of how this team has held together despite all the injuries and obstacles this year. My initial thought going into the playoffs was that going through both Dallas and Atlanta would be very difficult. I figured we had a puncher's chance at grabbing one...but the chances were very slim to get both. I feel slightly more confident now knowing that the one we got was Dallas, because I thought they presented the toughest obstacle for us. However, I don't see Atlanta being that far behind.
That said, Rodgers certainly is capable of winning games almost by himself...but receivers need to stop dropping like flies. His stats playing indoors in the postseason are solid, so no reason to expect anything less than we've been seeing for 2 months now. I give us slightly less than a 20% chance at this point...but if we can eke by Atlanta, then I think the momentum and confidence potentially could swing to our favor...and we likely get Jordy back in some capacity.It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!Comment

Rodgers and the offense are going to have to light it up this weekend, with the defense making 3-4 plays and turning td's into fg's. If we can somehow make it to the super bowl it would probably be the healthiest the team has been in weeks.Go PACKComment

I said before, descending order of difficulty - Cowboys, Falcons, Patriots. If I had quoted a percentage early on, I woulda said about 30-40% at the time we were 4-6 - really - I mean that may be homerish, but this is the Packers we're talking about. As I said back then, is there ANYBODY that would actually be expected to beat them? The doom and gloomers have a couple of more chances to be right, but I'm gonna say 75% we beat the Falcons, and 70% we go all the way and win the Super Bowl. Anybody else got the balls to be an unabashed homer?What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

I hope you're right tex. Falcons offense is far more explosive than Dallas'. Giving up big plays has been the Achilles heel for the Packers D. This looks like a shootout to me. Packers D needs to make a big play or two of its own.Comment

That's subjective, and I'd say "no" when you look at recent performance trends - although I don't think that's relevant because Rodgers will slice through them all regardless.Originally posted by Pugger View PostComment

As great as he's been, he's only one guy. It's not quite like basketball, where one guy can carry a team as long as they all play defense.
And nobody's playing defense in Green Bay right now."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

The LGCFP communities protest the overly aggressive, testosterone driven sense of masculine forcefulness that has been displayed by the Packers thus far and call for an end to this paternalistic sense of entitlement to domination.

With Rollins and burnett, i would say we win it all at this point. Without, im more along the 25% line. Too much pressure on the oOriginally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
