    If we do not hit AR the game is over. Our secondary is horrific.

      That’s just part of it, our offense has to start clicking too.
      Doubs, rookie Golden and Kraft aren’t enough.

      The Packers will need to start playing better as an entire team in order to hold on to that NFC’s #1 seed.

        Will Aaron be three years post Packers Favre or will be play like Favre the first time he played the Packers? Time will tell. I suspect the latter. I hope the Packers win of course but man it's just a game I don't really care that much either way. Hopefully it's entertaining and fun and Wicks finally breaks out.

          Rodgers has been doing a good job of getting the ball out quickly. He's throwing a lot of short stuff, completing 69%, and only been sacked 9 times.

            What is Rodgers hiding in that helmet?

                Not worried at ALL about the Steelers Defense. Xavier McKinney NEEDS to show up and show out this game. I don't think the pass rush will "get" to AR but we need to move him around.

                  The last time the Packers beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh Bart Starr was our QB.

                  12/6/70 The Pack intercepted Rookie Steeler QB Terry Bradshaw 4 times in a 20 to 12 GB victory.

                    This is a tough matchup. Rodgers is doing well the very thing that's been killing the Packers' D - the short passing game.

                    To me, a lot of this is incumbent upon the Packer offensive line starting to gel - they've got to start opening some holes for Jacobs and they've got to protect Love a little better. IF the offensive line plays better, and IF the defense can move Rodgers off his spot while containing that running game, then they'll win.

                    On a side note, while it's tough for the defense not to have Wyatt (I'm guessing they won't once again this week), it is giving the rookies, Brinson and Sorrell, more snaps than they'd otherwise get. I don't know enough to know how quickly a defensive tackle or end can develop, but it would seem good for the latter part of the season that the younguns are getting some snaps now. Note I did not include Snackhouse (thanks Captain!) in my list there. He seems a bit player - until he can get that pad level down, and that might not happen. I'm not sure one can really learn that, of if a player just has to have a lower center of gravity anyway.

                      MLF said Wyatt would practice today. McManus would kick tomorrow.

                          So we're due?

                            For transparency's sake, I admit I am stealing this from Reddit:

                            Rodgers is the "Dauphin of the dink and dunk", our CB's better be ready.

                              Hobbs limited in practice again.

                              Play Valentine, for cripes sake.

                              Rodger is going to get the ball out of his hand the second he gets the snap. So yes, the corners should be playing tight, and tackling securely.
