I am concerned about the GB DBs vs the NYG WRs.

Wow, points for and against really tell the stories of where these two teams have been going this season. I'm figuring timely turnovers will likely determine the winner.

I predict this game be a shootout although if the weathers plays a factor then the team that commits the least amount of mistakes (turnovers, penalties) should win. Although the giants are a big threat against our secondary i believe the cold weather should somewhat netralize that. We still need to bring the pressure to Eli though otherwise we will be in for a long day. Both teams dont have a great running game but I think well have the advantage with montgamery and the emergence of Ripkowski. And its hard to bet against Aaron Rodgers right now. Hes playing at an MVP level lets just hope that carries through over the playoffs. If the defense can force a few punts or get 1 or 2 turnovers then I like our chances. I am really glad this is at lambeau. If it was in NY Im not sure Id like our chances. Pack 31 Giants 28

After Matthews dropped that INT, I figured we'd still pull off a win but my immediate thought was "That happens in the playoffs and they go on and score that TD, we lose.". Time to get your shit together!

What a game, the Giants are an old foe, they are playing well, we are playing well too...

The giants have a quite formidable passing attack, Cruz, Odell, Shepard, they are good, our secondary is bad, heroic, strange.
They also have a good secondary, Apple is a good CB and Rodgers Cromartie is a guy you have to watch, I watched #41 against the Redskins and he is constantly trying to read the QB and looking for an interception, he knows the routes as well as the WRs.

Weather will be a factor, a running game is really important imagining a game in freezing conditions, maybe snow against a team with a capable secondary. Monty and Ripkowski will have to dominate the game and I think they can do it. Allison will be our key target, Cromartie can't cover all our WRs.

The keys to win this game for me are:
1. Scare the hell out of Eli Mannin. Our DL is not playing well, they need to raise the ante, if you get to Eli he becomes agitated, nervous and can make mistakes. Don't let Manning stay calm in the pocket reading the secondary, if that happens his only problem will be to decide which open guy to throw to.
2. Have a running game.
3. Win the turnover battle.

I'm not so sure that being at home is so much of an advantage. The Packers are .500 at home in the playoffs since McCarthy took the reins, compared to 14-2 all-time before he came to town.

    beast (6h) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
    Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
    Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
