^^^^Agree Barfan. Hawkins is probably our "purest" CB at this point, which is funny. Hawkins can blanket WRs and reminds me of Davon House. Gunter is another thing, he just makes the WR go crazy, it worked with OBJ, not so well with Dez but Gunter is making the most he can with his abilities.

Do you think Gunter and Hawkins will start against Atlanta? Same question on a different form: Should they start? I'm afraid we are going to see Randall or Rollins until they get toasted so badly that the coaches bring Hawkins.

Gunter played pretty well, he only got beat a couple of times. Remember a CB can only knock down a less than perfect pass. If Prescott lays that long pass in there like he did to Bryant only the Deion Sanderses and Mel Bounts can knock that down. And Gunter was all over that one slant, Bryant came up with it, sometimes we gotta give credit to the other team even if its Dallas.😂

The Packers had to beat the cowboys and the refs.
I'm just glad it didn't go into overtime. I don't think we would have won.
On to Atlanta!

Blitzing is fine, until the Cowboys O-line gives Dak all day. With all day to pass, Dak can find virtually anyone open. So you... blitz and hope? Because that's your strength - blitzing.

So basically you have to mix it up perfectly. Mostly run D, make them tempted to pass with our personnel. Cowboys receivers make some mistakes, penalties killing them. A little luck. 21-3 up? Ok awesome. Well here comes the Cowboys. Shit. Can't control Zeke. Dez is catching it all. So you gotta make Dak play without those two. And play well he did, but he left too much time on the clock. The fact we stopped them on that third down was huge.

Aaron does magic, Crosby is clutch. Magic win.

This game was huge for our D going into Atlanta. We CAN stop the run as long as it isn't Zeke, so we can keep more people in coverage. Blitz, baby, blitz and cover, baby, cover. No in between. Make them win by the run game.

This game is going to come down to can Aaron Rodgers play elite in this game, too. If he puts up his numbers, we will win. I have faith the defense can get it done where it matters.

EDIT: In addition, the fact that our D had such a challenge on all ends tells me why Ha Ha played so poor. He had to think everything.
