I just re-watched our game against the Giants on NFL replay. We actually got quite a bit of pressure on Eli. Way more than I remembered. And that's without our two starting ILBs, one of whom is a great inside blitzer.
I love the giants recivers vs the packers scondary and the pack dont get a lot of pressure...I think Eli has a big day.
agreed on the packers recvievers having a big day..I can def see that..I worry that the pack will use the short passing game to take away our pass rush...our D-coorndinator loves playing a loose zone at times...if they do that against the pack it will be a long day..another concern of mine is the fact that the pack create turnovers and take care of the ball better than anyone in the league.I'm certain the Packers receivers will have a huge day. I also suspect Capers has a few cards up his sleeve that he's been holding onto for a while. We'll see. Prediction time:
Packers 33
Giants 24
Rodgers: 27-41, 4 TD (Jones, Nelson, Jennings x2), 0 INT, 325 yards
Manning: 18-31, 2 TD (Cruz, Nicks), 2 INT (Woodson, Peprah), 300 yards
did u notice nicks's one handed TD over wood?Did you happen to notice what the score was when Wood got hurt and had to leave the game?
agreed about the AFC to be honest for the first time in a while the NFC is the better conference imo..the packers and the saints are the 2 best teams in football the niners are 13-3 and the giants won in foxboro this year and when healthy can beat anyone in the league imo.Absolutely. I'll watch them all, but I have to admit I am not all that piqued by the AFC games nearly as much.
The thing to watch for imo is the first couple drives for each team...if the packers come out and rodgers goes rite down the field and the giants dont respond it can get out of hand. A fast start is important for the giants. If the giants are running the ball well and force the pack to punt early on you guys will have to sweat this one out. I am a homer but I like Eli late in the game over rodgers.I hate to say it -- because it would be a lot easier on my heart if the Pack blew you guys out -- but something tells me this game has the potential to be epic (don't know why, just a feeling). I think in both NFC games the winner is going to walk away truly feeling like they won something, like it was a battle, and they overcame a worthy opponent. At times each of the AFC teams (except PERHAPS the Pats) looked like games to determine who least wanted to lose rather than who most wanted to win.

Are you really wanting to bring ST into play? I mean yes I do think we as Packer fans owe you a thank you lasts year for LETTING us get into the playoffs with DeSean Jackson's run.
for what its worth no packer fan was happier than me when u guys beat philly in the playoffs.In the Super Bowl (you know, that really big game we won last year after beating a bunch of teams that were supposed to be better than us , prior to going 15-1 this season), our defense seemed to be disoriented for a while when CWood broke his collarbone and had to leave.
I'd have to watch this game over again, but it seemed (in my memory) you scored a couple of times pretty quickly after he was concussed. I'd always wondered if that was part of the reason.
You DO realize that was a completely different punter who isn't even in the NFL anymore...right?
Try again with the ST trash talk.
HE DROPPED THE PUNT!!!! They gave him time. Sure they kicked to him but he dropped it, did a few moves and the OTHER 10 players still couldn't get him down. I mean yeah our ST last year was a joke, but at least they didn't cost us the playoffs.

the giants may have the best punter in the NFL now. weatherford has been greatOh trust me, I remember that play VERY, VERY well...I don't think you can find a true Giants fan who doesn't remember (and cringe at the thought of) the last 7 minutes of that game. However, that was last season, a completely different circumstance and everything. I don't see anything like that happening again...knock on wood
I'm a homer too and I like Rodgers, but I do have to admit that Eli has more "end of game" experience than Rodgers including those record fourth quarter touchdowns. I think against us, however, if he is forced to put it in the air a lot we have a good chance of forcing him into some bad decisions, and maybe a pick or two.
