[QUOTE="Ramhusker, post: 627045, member: 11211"] Another Ram fan invading your "cheese factory" to make you worry for the rest of the week. ;) I'm excited about this game. And allow me to go full-bore homer for a second by saying I think this matchup is a preview to the NFC Championship game. There, I said it, got it out of the way. As far as this week's game goes, I don't think any Rams fan had it wrote down as a W for our team when we saw it on the schedule. We know the Packers have the best QB in the league, very solid WRs even before the injuries, stout RBs, and a decent D. I even pick Crosby as my FF K every year. The Packers were my Super Bowl pick last year and again this year. No doubt, your team is elite in many areas and not overly weak anywhere. With that said, expect to be punched in the mouth this week. The Rams always come for a fight. They often shoot themselves in the foot with dropped passes, stupid penalties, and plain old bad luck dished out by the football gods but they do come to play old-school football. Make sure the ice-makers around Lambeau are well stocked up this week.:sneaky: Our D is indeed a bend-don't-break by design and it is maddening to me.
