Another positive point or two.

The Packers have recent Playoff experience, the Redskins do not.

The Packers will play the Redskins in Washington,D.C. , not the sub-freezing frozen tundra. The field will be soaked from recent rains and could help the WR's vs the CB's & Safeties as they make cuts on their routes.

No rain and little wind is expected this playoff game. Therefor dryer hands and footballs could aid the Packers grip on the ball in play.

The Packers have Aaron Rodgers, while the Redskins QB will be starting his 1st ever NFL Playoff game !

The Packers will be able to sleep latter on Sunday and that lessens the fatigue of traveling.


Go Pack Go !!!

I don't think the sky is falling, I think we have a beat to shit offense. They'll be back in form next year, but what shouldn't have happened was the thinning of our receiving and tight end corps that's taken place over the last five years. You don't run the kind of offense we have and not be stacked at the pass catching positions.

And why keep your third running back as a prototype of your starter. The third running back should be a little scat back that can handle kickoffs, catching passes, and occasionally running from scrimmage. What we have going on is a waste of a roster spot with our 3rd running back because the player never sees action.

Also, more capable backup offensive lineman need to be in place. When you have to move your guard over to play tackle, it's a recipe for disaster.

Agreed about the backup OL. It's always been Ted's belief that you can get by with just "guys." Apparently.

I think the sky would be falling if the team was old and we were in financial straits. We have a young team. Most of the key guys are locked up to decent contracts cap-wise. We just need to get our franchise player's confidence back. Aaron Rodgers is 32 and probably has about 5-7 more years. He road the pine for the first 3 years so I would hope his body is a young 32. I honestly think a top notch sports psychologist on this team would go a long way.

I believe it was you who posted his sack stats, and they ain't pretty.
46 this year alone.
Clearly the man has taken a beating and surely that takes a toll regardless of what he said.
Running for his life and getting slammed to the turf on a regular basis isn't going to make anyone feel young.

Is the sky falling ? No but it's cloudy out and the Packers can try all the mostly sunny crap they want we all see clouds and the every other week thunderstorm. [twocents]

Rodgers has said he's sore and such before. I listen, I pay attention. If it was public relations I wouldn't have mentioned it. I think Aaron finding that balance is encouraging and this thread I think is about positives and well I think it's positive that the best player on the Packers roster feels confident he's found said balance. Now if we can just get a damn offensive line (Wade!!) for the man! lol

I came into this thread wanting to read the positives; there is enough negativity out there already. So:

1. Richard Rodgers - he will never be a speed receiver, but he has been better as a blocker and has proven his sure hands. Rodgers can be a very good red-zone TE going forward, and would be great in twin-TE packages if we get a Finley-esque player at Te.

2. Mike Pennel - he has shown flashes, which show progress by making plays throughout the season. Even if Raji returns, having a big body like Pennel who can handle and shed double-teams is a positive. I'd say Pennel has actually shown up more on "flashier" plays than Guion.

3. Jeff Janis - he has blossomed as a special teams gunner. His speed is always noted, but he has consistently used it on special teams this season. Makes his case for playing time on offense a lot stronger since it gives you hope he can grow and develop if given time.

4. Mike McCarthy taking back play calling. It's easy to criticize, but we've had great success with McCarthy as a play caller. McCarthy is a great play caller. Should bode well for our offense next year.

5. Datone Jones - he still has consistency issues, but at least he flashed potential of the pass-rushing problems he can create. He looks worthy of being a first rounder, which is more than can be said of some of Ted's other first rounders.

6. Jayrone Elliot - he has had his moments. For a young player, you want to see progress on the field when he gets chances. He has shown flashes of production. He is still raw, but a potential OLB rotation of Peppers, Clay, Neal, and Elliot is something to build on. (assuming Neal is resigned and Clay is moved back to OLB)

7. Rollins and Randal - like someone else said, they have potential and have looked capable. Shields / Rollins / Randall / Hyde is a solid CB rotation.
