Packers WIll Be Champions

[m8archa]

I think Patriots beat them.. but first they got to get there.

[Thors Hammer]

The Packers look good right now, but if they have to play Russell Wilson or Colin Kaepernick in the playoffs, then all bets are off. Offenses with a good running game and a mobile QB give their defense fits.

AH the residential Packers hater continues his meaningless words. If the Packers achieve greater success than your expectations, you should be the first person on the boards to swollen crow.

They haven't, they have done essentially what I thought they would thus far as far as record. Played like a good team, likely to make the playoffs but not the Super Bowl. So far, they are 7-3, looking like that team exactly. Heck, I didn't even think anyone would give them much competition in the division if I remember correctly, Detroit surprised me.

If you like though, I can make a bet. I will write 'I was wrong about the Packers' as my sig for every post until the Packers next loss if they actually make the Super Bowl, and if they actually win it...I can even add more to it.

Only thing better about the Broncos offense is the number 3 wide out position and starting tight end. The 2 OLs are almost equal with Green Bay having a better center and run blocking. Outside Cobb and Jordy the wide outs are weak. Unknown what Adams will do in the future.

Also people shouldn't overrated McCarthy. He's a average head coach, and also conservative. When the Packers struggle he panics and starts to play not to lose instead of playing to win.

Conservative play calling is often a good thing, yet often scapegoated. It's funny really that I often hear it about some of the top passing offenses in the league, like fans here about Denver. It's like they expect every play to be a deep pass or something.

i wouldnt crown them yet a lot can happen from now till the end of the play offs

This, it seems some people are way too quick to crown teams. At one point, people wondered who would challenge Denver or Dallas, and we saw NE get throttled 41-14 by the Chiefs with people thinking they were out of it. We could see Denver pull a turn around and play like the best team in the AFC again, it's too early to tell. Heck, the Chiefs themselves may end up the #1 seed, with the tiebreaker over NE.

Plus, the playoffs are tough to predict. Last year isn't the norm as of late, where the 4 best teams of the year made the conference championships. Usually there are upsets in the playoffs.

Book it, if we can't get it going...the title belongs to Green Bay.

RELAX. Aaron Rodgers is fun to watch! Wish we had him!!

Champions of the "Discount Double Check".
Yeah, they are playing lights out though. Yet, there's quite a bit more games still.

[Thors Hammer]

The defense is still suspect. I mean they shut down Jay Cutler and Mark Sanchez, it doesn't make them the 85 Bears.

The scoreboard has the potential to reach a combined 100 points when the Pats pay a visit in a few weeks.

Green Bay and New England certainly seem to be the most evident choices at this point in the season, but there is still a lot of football left to play and both teams are a collarbone or a knee away from their seasons being changed.

A man we could have drafted, but took Ball instead.

Oh god, don't remind me!

Eddie Lacy is a MAN.

Remember all the talk of how overweight he was, and that he was a bad choice. I like the guy, and he is going to break a lot of runs in his career, with his strength and deceptive elusiveness. He has a bit of Marshawn Lynch in him, you know that never going down thing. Yes indeed, his hi-lite reel will be impressive.

[CanDB]

One more thing....Green Bay is a force. Rodgers is the best QB in the game from my vantage point. He has more skills than any other QB. He is smart, athletic, has a quick/powerful/accurate arm, and provides solid leadership. People used to say that he had the best receivers, but in my books, he makes the best of the group he has. Don't get me wrong, Nelson and Cobb are quality players, but that's about it this season. The others are ordinary.

And if Clay stays healthy, I expect their D to be better then what we've seen since the SB win. Peppers has been a good addition, and the Dbacks are settling in nicely.

Green Bay may not be the best team right now, but if they continue on this path, I expect them to be heard loud and clear in the playoffs.

[bronx_2003]

Rodgers is very good, I wouldn't put him ahead of Brady or Manning though.

I had us taking Miller instead of Hillman and Lacy instead of Ball during the 2 drafts............ sometimes the pro's don't know best

Yea that was people overreacting. Cameras can work magic. Lacy is a biblical beast, playing behind a mediocre offensive line, that was one of the league's worst OLs for the last 3 seasons.

I could see it happening but this is the NFL . I've seen this storyline many times before and those team that look red hot typically don't end up winning it all . I do think if they get home field they make the Super Bowl .

Good receivers isn't much of a knock on a QB anyway in my book, pretty much every QB who's ever had any success has had good receivers. It's either star receivers, receivers being used well in a spread offense, a system but regardless...the receivers are making for good weapons.

With Clay, as great as he is the Packers defense doesn't seem to suffer much in his absence. Whether he's healthy or not, the Packers defense seems to be about the same. The Packers defense actually performed better against the 49ers in the playoffs with Clay out. It doesn't mean they're better without him or that he isn't good, but perhaps a sign of how many injuries don't hurt teams in the way many say they do.

I'm looking forward to the game against NE, which should be a good test for GB to see if they can keep up playing well on the defensive side. They've looked good the past 2 weeks on defense, but the Bears O with Cutler has almost never(if even ever)played well against the Packers and the Eagles with Sanchez may not be very good.

If they play well against NE though, I would be convinced their defense has gotten a lot better.
