Chargers Will Be Too Much for the Pack

[Freak Out]

All I know is our O-line is going to have their hands full this week. Williams is the best DT in the game and Merriman is a maddog out there. If our D can find a way to keep LT from controlling the game and #4 can stay on his feet we have a chance.

[MJZiggy]

What if they handle LT the same way they did Westbrook?

[Harlan Huckleby]

the Patriots exposed their weaknesses but have a ton of talent at WR.

I think that what is going to hurt us more than anything against the elite teams of the league this year, is the inability of our receivers to stretch the field.

He just won't go away! Sorry, I just felt like being an ass.

lol

That would be fantastic and because of the speed we have at LB and how well our DL has been playing we have a good shot at containing him but Merriman scares me.

Amazingly, on ESPN FirstTake today Skip Bayless of all people picked the Pack to win this weekend.

Well we're screwed then. Eyebrows McScream knows as much about football as the yellow lab down the street from me.

Yeah, but Yellow Labs are cute.

And it just so happens that Scotty Big Dog Wells is playing like a man posessed and well on his way to a pro-bowl birth. Chad Clifton is a pretty good pass blocker as well.

Merriman is a liability if he isn't wreaking havoc in the pass rush. I'd personally go U-71 and run right at him.

you drew a chocolate ass. ridiculous

By stretch the field I'm assuming you mean a deep threat. If so, I don't agree. Since the Brett Favre era began the long ball has never been a big part of their arsenal. Brooks, Rison, Freeman, Schroeder--none of them were scary deep threat. Schroeder was certainly fast but couldn't put it together. Javon Walker might be the exception. The big difference between the 1997 and 2007 Packers is that the 2007 version has two or three receiving weapons, whereas in 1997 they were putting four or five out there on each play. Our TE's either can't run or can't catch, and our running backs don't seem to be receiving threats either. Adding a deep threat would only play to the weakest part of Favre's game, IMO.

Can we even run a U-71 offense anymore?

Has Favre ever lost to the Chargers?

[BEARMAN]

Come on, guys! It's our house! Football is about more than who's better than who. All that stat stuff is is paper hanging. We both play with 11 guys on a side. The difference is which guys want it more than the other guys. I guarantee you that the Packers' young guys want this more than Norv Turner's prima donnas. I further guarantee that the Packers will not lose Sunday. We may come up on the wrong end of the score at the end of the game, but that will only mean we ran out of time.

Kool-aid drinker for sure !

[retailguy]

but that will only mean we ran out of time.

wouldn't that be true of every NFL game?

[retailguy]

What if they handle LT the same way they did Westbrook?

ANOTHER IF? Ok, whatever.

[MJZiggy]

There's no if about how they handled Westbrook, RG. The fact that they've already done it proves that it's possible. I'm just reminding those who for some reason believe that LT will definitely be impossible to contain.

[Charles Woodson]

Btw i thought that it was impressive that 3 out of 5 of the espn experts picked us over SD
