Divisional Round: Rams at Packers on the frozen tundra (Sat, 1/16 @4:35pm)

[Pokerbrat2000]

Game time temp 35, will feel like 27.

The Dome teams can artificially change the temperature on the field, too bad Lambeau doesn't have Arctic chillers under the turf. Keep that field temperature around 5 degrees.

Couple of nuggets from Fox NFL Kickoff:

Peter Schrager is hearing it's unlikely that Cooper Kupp will be able to go today, and if he does go, he'll be no where close to 100%

Also, something I wasn't aware of but I'm sure the Packers are: Cam Akers was a quarterback and threw for 3,100 yards in high school in Clinton, Mississippi. Expects the Rams to "empty the bag" on offense, will not rely solely on Goff's right hand.

Quarterbacks with 11 or more postseason victories:

31 - Tom Brady
16 - Joe Montana
14 - Terry Bradshaw
14 - John Elway
14 - Peyton Manning
13 - Roethlisberger
13 - Favre
11 - Aikman
11 - Staubach

With a win today, Rodgers would join Aikman and Staubach with 11 wins. Some pretty elite company he would occupy with the 9 QB's listed above.

With six touchdown passes Rodgers would move into sole second place in playoff history behind Brady

Here's the current top 10:

Brady 75
Montana 45
Favre 44
Peyton 40
Rodgers 40
Brees 36
Roethlisberger 34
Marino 32
Warner 31
Bradshaw 30

More nuggets because why not...

Sean McVay is 37-0 when leading at halftime in his head coaching career, including the playoffs.

Aaron Rodgers is 1-7 in his playoff career when trailing at halftime.

Also, something I wasn't aware of but I'm sure the Packers are: Cam Akers was a quarterback and threw for 3,100 yards in high school in Clinton, Mississippi.

I would be fine with the Rams testing a HS QB's arm out on the Packers.

But yes, I can see the need arise for McVay to empty his playbook.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

My prediction:

Turn your head and Goff: 24

Packers Ram it home: 31

Packers inactives:

Jordan Love
Ka'dar Hollman
Josh Jackson
Jonathan Garvin
Jace Sternberger
Kingsley Keke

Notable for the Rams: Cooper Kupp is INACTIVE, along with OG David Edwards

Blake Bortles is the backup to Jared Goff.

How many healthy scratches does this make for Josh Jackson?

Not more than Jordan Love.

Okay. That's my weekly 'bang on Jordan Love' post. I'm done.

That might actually surprise some of you but I cancelled my PFF subscription some time ago.

must haven’t gotten chilly in Hell

 

[tynimiller]

I hate Keke is out. Dude was coming on strong for us, but with a run happy team it makes sense his use is less.

 

[tynimiller]

I'll hone my predictions down even more....MVS beats Lazard in yards, but Lazard is second on team in both targets and receptions....Adams puts forth a lot of clutch catches but doesn't touch 90 yards.

We win, and that is all that matters.

 

[Dantés]

No Kupp for the Rams. That will be big on 3rd downs.

 

[XPack]

Turn your head and Goff: 24

Think they'll score that much?

16-34 to Pack.

yikes for some team

Let's do this.

 

[PackAttack12]

Love the fire, Davante. But damn. Don’t play into that

Hell yeah, Adams! Way too early to get excited, keep it up guys.

 

[Cornelius Weems]

Was definitely nervous, 1 game closer. One game at a time, congrats Pack.

 

[tynimiller]

Few predictions: I see minimum 3 of these 5 happening but genuinely think all 5 are coming.

MVS is targeted twice over 40 yards and hauls in both for the rare big plays against this Rams' defense.

Lazard eats up a ton of short to medium targets - converts 2 clutch first downs.

TE group has 75 yards and a red zone TD

RB group drives the day as a whole with over 200 all purpose yards (Williams/Jones/Dillon)

Ramsey limits Adams yards to under 70 but he still hauls in 7 passes.

Tight start before we slowly control second half as Goff cannot compete when forced to be their way back into the game.

Packers 38 Rams 20

Dangit only a couple plays from getting about as close as one can

Called it close!

How many healthy scratches does this make for Josh Jackson?

Josh Jackson was inactive for four games in the regular season, one of them after being listed as questionable with a concussion. In addition he didn't play a single snap on defense in three games he was active for.

16-34 to Pack.

Kudos. Great prediction

 

[Dantés]

Did anyone notice how much the Packers ran tempo on Saturday?

I think they were waiting for Donald to sub himself out and then they were no huddling to keep him out.
