Hmm Stat Padford vs Romo in the playoffs? Sounds interesting to watch.

He was abysmal... 21 of 43 for 241 yards 2 TD's and 1 INT... they did win 34-30.

He's faced them one other time...at Detroit. Had to be his best day as a pro... 488 yards passing and a Lions win 31-30. I take that back...that meaningless game at Lambeau that gave him 520 yards was his best. He only chucked 1 TD in that Dallas game vs. 2 picks.

So, Stafford is 2-0 vs. Dallas with both games seeing both teams in the 30's...the two games were decided by a combined 5 points. Sounds like we should expect more of the same if that game comes to be.

Now I'm going to have to go back and read your posts...naw...

As stated in my previous post, we have to beat Detroit first.

We're always contenders, unfortunately we suffer from the "soft" label. Especially in the playoffs, referees forget they have flags in their pockets. Our receivers will be mugged on the line of scrimmage and all the way down the field. The question is, will they get the separation necessary to make the big plays we need to win.

The other question is will our defense keep giving up those easy drives they are notorious for. Green Bay has a quality football team when they play up to their capabilities. It really is completely in their hands.

We need a St. Louis Rams Christmas Miracle. Go for the sweep St. Louie!

No....not what I'm saying at all. There is one contender. I think people who know football would tell you there's Seattle...and then there's everybody else.

Pretty much. However anyone in the playoffs in technically a contender. We'll see what happens...

If KC had gone to Seattle they would've been blown out. Lambeau was our only hope vs. Seattle as we know we're about half as good on offense away from the tundra.

Everyone reads what beats us. My Dad is not yet interconnected, nor is one of my little brothers. Other than that, I know of no one that is not connected and not figuring this shit out.

Rush the passer, Dom. Rush the fucking passer, Dom, do not deviate, no matter the score, situation, etc. If you don't, your defense fails. You are a LAUGHINGSTOCK defense because you don't listen.

Habla?

RUSH THE PASSER P R I O R I T Y.

Do that.

How hard can this be? I'm just asking.
