With all the talk about the Steelers and their zebra help I don't view them as the Packers toughest SB opponent. The Pack beat them last year. I think that kind of thing might apply if it's any other team besides the Packers against them. The history and tradition and admiration of the Packers is as high or higher within the entire NFL fanbase.
Given that, I haven't seen a "dominant" defense shut down the Packers once they started clicking. My belief is that a team will have to have a pretty darned good offense to keep up with the Packers. Only NE is in that category in the AFC.
We can wait until after the Giants game to see if their D is going to slow the Pack down.
In the NFC I'd worry about games against the Saints first and then the Falcons. I'd love to see the Packers smack down the 49ers.
I wonder what those Saints/Packer fans out there think of it. You know, the fans who root for two teams in the NFC?
You have a good point.
I don't think the 49ers are really going to make it in the playoffs. Saints should be above them in power rankings, they have so far only played 2 teams that are playoff worthy, and they lost to both of them.
Don't get me wrong, they have a great, great defense, but not much of an offense, and they have yet to play a top 5 offense. I'm looking forward to a Saints/49ers match up, and then another Saints/Packers game.
