[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 337448, member: 1429"] To me it's the pass rush. I've never been as confident of one unit as I am this year of our D. No team has been able to put up considerable points on us. No QB has scored more than 2 tds on us in one game, and no team has had more than 1 running TD on us in one game. I'm not that much worried about the Steelers' offense. Ben is elite, Mendenhall is great, no doubt about that. But our D has shown up against EVERYBODY. The Patriots in essence scored only 24 points in us, and 7 of those were largely in part due to a linemen returning a kick to the 2 yard line. The powerhouse Philadelphia O only scored 17 points on us. But our Offense has been shaky sometimes. Rodgers won't play as bad as he did against the Bears, because 1) He always struggles against their D, and it's a unique thing. It's about the way they play, it's about Lovie Smith, it's about Urlacher. 2) There won't be any wind in the stadium 3) The turf won't be mud painted green 4) The ball won't be hard as a rock. Our offense thrives at controlled environments. But our OL isn't very good, and we'll be facing the best pass rush duo in Woodley and Harrison. Truth be told, Rodgers struggles the most when pressured up the middle, because if the middle is open, he's able to scramble for lots of yards. But if the pressure gets to Rodgers early and often, and they're able to hit him hard, it could be a long game for us. I'm not that worried on ST as I usually am, because the Steelers' ST sucks. Their punter is Jeremy Kapinos (remember him?). We actually have the advantage in that area (Yeah, I know. I can't believe either). So, to summarize, it's the pass rush. [/QUOTE]
