it maybe this sunday , it maybe rd 2 . it mabye the nfc title game , but , there will be a spot in the playoffs where the defense will have to win a game for them as rodgers won't be able to put the team on his back all the way to miami

the defense has played well at times , but , to think they are the 2nd best unit in the league is hysterical if you look deeply at their schedule and realize that cleveland , detroit , san fran , seattle , and chicago won't be on the slate . most likely the slate will include warner , brees and favre , maybe romo or mcnabb - do you see the defense doing it 3 weeks in a row againstthis caliber of competetion - i don't

Um, Marty, aside from the bizarro Raiders can you find me any team that plays better against good teams than they do against the bad ones? That is the way it works. The fact is, the Packers have done better against those bad teams than other defenses have. Against the Cowboys and Cardinals they completely shut down good offenses. They played well enough to win at Pittsburgh until the last play. The only team in the NFC that worries me in regards to the Packers are the Vikings who they clearly struggled with.

you seriously are not couting the cardinals game from last week are u?

that aside , my question to you is can this defense hold up for 3 weeks on the road (assuming philly is out)

to me i don't see it , they haven't done it well eneough agianst the best teams (except the dallas game)

i think rogers can win them a game maybe two , but , do you really think this defense will get them to a superbowl , i'm sorry i just don't see it , can they win a shootout yes of course (the lost to pitt on the last play of the game)

i just don't see that D doing it for 3 straight weeks on the road against winning teams - tell me why i am wrong aobut that ?

Yes, I do think they can make the Super Bowl. Their defense and their offense can both play solid games and they can win. They don't need one or the other to win them every game like you are making it out to be. The rest of the teams in the NFC look really bad right now, it isn't completely impossible they could wind up hosting the NFC championship, both New Orleans and Minnesota are not playing their best football right now.

you need philly to win , while not impossible , highly unlikely

let's keep it simple

stranger things have happened before , but, unless they get the eagles at home in the nfc championship game , i just don't see it - i can't see them winning 3 games on the road all vs teams with winning records - can you see them winning 3 road games to get to the superbowl with this D? i just don't see it scott

I think the Philly-Dallas game is a win-win for the Packers. With a Dallas win they get to play New Orleans instead of the team that has given them fits in Minnesota. With a Philly win they have to play Minnesota but at that point would have a very realistic chance of hosting the NFC Championship if they could get by the Vikings. If they have to play at both New Orleans and at Minnesota it will be really tough but I do see plenty of scenarios where that wouldn't happen and even the possibility of finishing up at home against the Eagles.

scott just stick to the question i asked , hoping for the eagles to win 2 games would be a bonus for rd 3 , but it's highly unlikely as they seem to have no answer to the dallas d

do you think this team can win 3 playoff road games , the most likely scenario , and get to the super bowl? I say no

The packers offense I believe is more suited to play in warm weather or a dome than at lambeau in Jan. If the wind is blowing 20-30 mph and it is near zero it will be hard to throw the ball down field. Whoever gets hot in the playoffs will represent the NFC. It is really wide open...

Yes, but if they have to go to both Minnesota and New Orleans it will be very tough. Games at Arizona and at Dallas are nothing to be scared of.

az - did they look bad when the buried minnesoata 3 weeks ago? what did they have to play for at 4:00 when the #2 seed was gone and they were locked into playing the following week?

dallas - they looked bad in GB , but since then with a lone loss to SD by 3 pts surely they aren't palying bad are they? no way the packer D is better than wade phillips unit

minn and no - both beatable , az and dallas have beaten them , packers couldn't split with the vikings
