The 1st Q surprised me, since up until a few games ago, we had scored on every first drive of the game.  Opponents also seem to be coming out with the strategy of "limit Rodgers possessions".For the playoffs, I hope the Packers can score right out of the gate and establish some nasty on defense.  When both sides of the ball are clicking, this team is going to be hard to beat.</blockquote>
