The Official Packers vs Tennessee Tyrants Discussion Thread

[Guest]

If the Seagulls prove victorious over the Sheep, this game could prove to be as meaningless as the Flynn 6 TDs game, at least in Packers lores. Might be a good game to see if Jordan Love Hewitt has any Kung Fu. Rest the starters for the epic showdown in Chi-town?!?!

Or are you like me? I subscribe to the theory that if the Packers can’t beat the Tennessee Tyrants, the Packers ain’t deserve the #1 seed.

As my pal Partial likes to say, discuss.

Put Jaire on Brown and double Davis. That is their entire passing game. They don't have WR3 at all and not much with which to attack the middle (our weakness).

Just have to make a couple stops on Henry, who will get his. I would put the young guys in. Martin, Barnes, and Scott just need to make a few plays. They will give some up too of course.

I think we match up better than most other teams.

I think you meant if the Sea Squawks LOSE against the Rams. If they win, Packers need to beat Bares next week to clinch. I don't think "resting" starters is ever a good idea: with reduced preseason and practices, they need all the work together they can get. Don't rush injured players back, but healthy players play.

Henry is likely licking his chops at the thought of facing Cletidus Clark and the Northwestern Milksops. I wouldn’t mind seeing a bunch of Cover-0’s. Entice Tannehill to gunsling.

I've watched/read zero about The Tennessee Titties this season. What's your take on their defense vs the Packers offense? Match-up strengths? Weaknesses?

If the Seagull lose, the #1 seed would be on the line, and therefore, this game would be meaningful. The Packers won’t clinch the bye this week unless they win AND the Rams, too, win.

I haven't really seen them. Just looking at stats, their run defense is average. Pass defense is below average. Their pass defense is 29th in yards given up. They've surrendered 29 TD passes, but have 13 INT's. They are last in the NFL in sacks with 14. You can bet they will try to control the ball on offense with their running game and keep the Packers offense on the sidelines.

The Packers trying to tackle D. Henry in freezing temps. LOL!!!! Just what the doctor ordered in another “Getting Exposed” game right before the playoffs. This one won’t be pretty as LaFluer will ultimately clam up once again with his vaunted “WR Screen Attack” and continuing failure on special teams!!!!

LA owns Seattle.

Statement game from the much maligned Packers D. I like the matchups a lot. Pettine, keep it simple and let the young players loose.

We can mostly shut Henry down if we are willing to take some chances in pass coverage. I remember some games we had against Adrian Peterson in his prime. Henry is not better than that. If the offense gets us ahead also, they would probably use Henry less, and that certainly ought to happen.

I expect this to be a fairly high scoring game with the Packers coming out ahead - not playing like crap in the second half.

When has the Packers front 7 shown they can shut any power run team down that is at full strength in the Pettine era? Please remind me?

[GB-Brandon]

We can’t shut shit down!!!

[Spaulding]

We can’t shut shit down!!!

Hate to agree with Mr. Apocalypse but this is a bad matchup for us. Even in our wins against the Saints and Vikings to start the year we were giving up over six yards a carry I believe.

Unless we start out fast and light up the scoreboard (a possibility given our past body of work), I fear that Titans will just run it down the Packers throat with the only thing preventing them from winning the game is the Packers winning the turnover battle.

This is the same type of game we lost last year against the 49ers it feels and so if we can win this game then the playoff prospects brighten considerably.

Titans Defense sucks. They run like crazy and that is a weakness for us, Play action is their gig but I think they only have to WR threats so again we match up there. Should win this one pretty easy.

I watched the Colts dismember the Titans in Tennessee.

Titans couldn't stop shit and looked lackadaisical, like they didn't want to be there.

Reich outcoached Vrabel in that game IMO.
