Forget Sundays win although it is a preview of what is to come next week.
I am not saying it will be THAT easy but the Packers are a better football team.

The Cards played four games against teams with a winning record all year and three games against teams going to the playoffs.

The Packers played seven games against teams ultimately finishing with a winning record and six games against teams in the playoffs (most in the NFC).

Maybe we should have finished 8-8. The Cards played four games against teams that finished .500 and lost all four times.

You would think the Cards would stack statistics up given the above yet the Packers clearly stand tall in the numbers game. Especially defensively where we finished 1st against the run and 5th against the pass the Cards ended up 17th and 23rd respectively.

Offensively they don't run it well (28th) and with the talent and multiple schemes we run this is a nightmare matchup for the Cardinals passing game.

On D I sense bringing the heat. The Cards realize their only chance is to get to Rodgers and my guess is McCarthy is planning schemes to pick up their blitz packages.

I look for Finley and our screens to put up big numbers.

When they are on Offense I expect the Cards to go short often and HOPE that our pass rush disrupts Warner enough that they cannot affectively go downfield consistantly.

If our D requires the Cards to chip away and earn every score I see no way of them keeping up with us.

They will try to go at us like Pitt, if they can be successful might be a loss as they have I think better talent on offense as a whole than Pitt

We HAVE to be able to stop Wells and Hightower they can tack it on at times and they scare me

I believe it will actually be our offense and their inability to stop it that will force the Cards out of trying to run the ball. Besides, our D has stopped way better running attacks all year long. Especially now with the entire Dline healthy.

I think the Cards have more to worry about in how our run game can contribute than we do with theirs.

No doubt Warner will attack the middle of the field. It won't be as easy, but I think Green Bay is a better football team. I think playing at home and the hope that Green Bay lays an egg is how the Cardinals will win this game.

When i look at this match up, the first thing i see our turnovers. They give the ball away, we take the ball away. I think if we take advantage of that we will come away with a win.

I think he's pointing out how the Cardinals will win, if they do.

I for one think this game will get ugly like the Pittsburgh game. It could turn into a game where whichever teams offense has the ball last will win it. I have a lot of faith in our offense but I just can't see our defense stopping all their weapons. I feel like if we keep dialing up the pressure we'll have a better chance at winning but Capers seems to favor running prevent defenses in those situations. It's going to be a tough game but I don't think any team can realistically stop our offense at this point. The only way we don't put points on the board when we have the ball is if we shoot ourselves in the foot, which have done quite often this season.

This should be a Green Bay win but the problem with Arizona is that they are so freaking unpredictable. They are capable of looking like total garbage and they are also capable of looking like the greatest offense ever, unstoppable. Just depends which team shows up for Arizona. They could blow us out and we could blow them out.

I think the Packers will need to lay an egg in order for them to lose. That, plus the fact that Arizona is at home and rested and the Packers have to travel all the way to Phoenix for the second time in a week gives the Cards a mild advantage.

Green Bay is a better football team, but they could lay an egg very easily. They're due for one.

I know people are worried about the passing attack of the Cardinals. They'll have their big plays, but the problem with comparing Kurt Warner to Ben Roethlisberger is Ben can extend plays. Warner cannot. If GB pressures Warner, he could make a mistake, whereas, Ben would make the guy miss and extend the play.

The key to the game on the defensive side of the ball is to pressure Warner. Do that and Green Bay has a chance to dominate this game as long as the offense gets going.

I'll say this though. Playoff games never go the way you expect. With that in mind, both of the games might end up being sloppy and low scoring.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
