Takeaways have been key to their success as the Packers forced 27 turnovers in their wins and five in their losses.

Of any statistic, I don't think it can be any more clear than that.

Get takeaways and we win games. Drop INTs that an elite QB throws right in our hands and we lose close games.

I think when you look at the stats that contribute greatly to the turnover numbers you can see where we have the advantage over Philly.

We allow our QB to be sacked less and we also sack the opposing QB more than Philly. The pressure allowed on our QB and the pressure put on the other QB is key to ultimately winning the TO battle. Vicks' also fumbled eleven times so pressure also helps creates those as well.


Hopefully, we can get Vick to make some bad throws but then our guys have to catch it. I rewatched the 1st game we played them and sure enough CM3 dropped one thrown right at him. I know Woodson could easily have probably five more INT's.

We can't drop those starting Sunday.

Agreed Warhawk. Capers has to get it in his players' heads that INTs NEED to be caught. We'll be facing mostly elite QBs from here on out.

And good point about the pressure causing the takeaways.

Vick only has 6 INT's this year in 12 games, so I'm not so sure how much we can rely on him to be throwing picks. We can maybe rely on him to throw errand passes when being pressured, but he has proven to be very accurate this year. We're going to have to rely on fumbles for turnover's, I think. One thing I would like to see a little more is for people to go for the strip when tackling the QB, as they almost never secure the ball, at least not like a RB.

I'm shocked to see how many rushing yards we avg compared to how many we give up. Considering that we are somewhere in the middle for rushing D, I would have thought it would be a much larger difference.

What pops out at me.. which is what everyone basically says.

Our Defensive is truly consistent regardless of venue minus takeaways.. the offense.. not so much.

I still am in shock by how the defense has performed with so many "scrubs". It's been amazing to watch.

The road thing scares me a bit. I know we beat them in Philly before but I don't know, we are 3-5 on the road. We will see of course but I hope we don't just come out flat.
