This is my opinion, and my opinion ONLY (so please do not take it in an offensive manner), but i feel as if the packers will beat ANY team they face minus the giants. I just have this weird feeling that the giants will come in lambeau and upset the packers. Yes the packers beat them in the regular season, but it was a very close affair (lets not forget that missed TD either). Once again, please do not call me a hater and take this the wrong... i just see the giants defeating the packers. Lets hope the falcons can get it done IMO (or the packers face the lions)
It's a sad reality but I also have that doubt in my mind if the Packers play the Giants.
Forget Favre's pick in 2007, NO ONE ON EARTH mentions how the Giants basically out played us that entire game.
Sure Favre does deserve part of the blame, but I went back down memory lane last night and thought about that game. Do you remember us having a strong running game? I don't...I checked stats and the Pack only had 28 rushing yards total compared to the Giants whooping 138.
That's the biggest thing that worries me playing the Giants. We went into the NFC Championship thinking it would be a cake walk with a one dimensional air attack, and they proved us wrong. I don't care if it's Rodgers or Favre, all quarterbacks throw interceptions. Looking back at the stats and seeing 28 total rushing yards, no wonder we lost that game compared to the stat board, you'd think we got blown out by them.
Right now I feel this team is really similar to the 2007 one. The defense gets walked all over, just worse than they did before, and when they can't run the ball, Rodgers has to put up 40-50 times a game. That's something you don't do in the playoffs. Even when we played the Giants this year, the running game wasn't there, and Rodgers had all the pressure on his shoulders to single handedly win that game.
If we can't run the ball against them, it may be ugly.
