Ask A Packer Fan: Divisional Round Edition

PrintHey guys, I'm arodgb from APC, and I'll take any questions you might have about next week's matchup! Before we go into that, though, I'd like to congratulate you on beating the Falcons. Although the win didn't seem as impressive to me at first, I only watched the first half, and after seeing some highlights of the second half, I'm impressed. Holding any team to 2 [0] points is an accomplishment as well.
Anyways, the general consensus over at APC seems to be that you guys have the best shot at upsetting us of all the teams left in the NFC. Better than the Saints, mostly for the reasons that the Giants have a superior defense, and that makes up for a slightly less explosive offense. Also, the Giants play outdoors, and the Saints struggle outdoors much more than they do inside of their comfy dome. Make no mistake, while you may see some comments that don't take the Giants seriously, we all know that the Giants are one of the toughest teams to stop when they're in synch.
Key matchups? Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz vs Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson is #1 for me. #2 is JPP, Tuck, and the rest of your DL vs our OL. We will be starting a OL group that hasn't played together since week 5, for what it's worth.
If you don't mind, please drop a few REC's so this stays near the top for the week. Thanks.
Please try to keep trash talking in the thread to a minimum. Minimum.
Good luck, and let's hope for a fun, injury free game.

Are you down with JPP?
This is an important question.
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

Sorry, just watched God do some weird stuff vs. Pittsburgh.

Unfortunately that doesn't bode well moving forward.

Haha sorry
Can you explain the question? I heard JPP say that he guaranteed a win; All I can say is that Antrel Rolle guaranteed a win last year in week 16 before our Super Bowl run, and we won. But as a player, I respect him a ton; He absolutely wrecked us in week 13. He had 3 sacks, I believe.

When JPP was drafted, it was safe to say no one was down with JPP
But as he shocked every Giants fan with his beastly play, every giants fan is down with JPP

I am with him, what else is he supposed to say… "we “might” win??LOL

Many were upset, but I loved it when we drafted him. I was all for finding a Linebacker in FA during that off-season. Espcially knowing Osi and Tuck were injury prone
Tebow, who looked as startled as everyone else, headed for his own end zone and knelt on one knee—a gesture known far and wide these days as Tebowing. Then he pounded a fist in triumph and took a victory lap.

Are you more afraid of Cruz or Nicks

Nicks, no question
Believe me, I’m scared of Cruz, but Nicks has the whole package, and I don’t know how we’re gonna cover him. Tramon has locked down receivers before, but he’s in a bit of a slump right now, and him shutting down Nicks will be a huge key to the Packers gameplan.
15-1
Back on track to Super Bowl XLVI!
MattFlynn4StartingQB
If it were me
I’d put Woodson on Nicks, he’s the tougher cover than Cruz despite what the stats say.
lol
That's a good point
But…
1. Tramon is a better cover corner than Woodson [Woodson is much better overall, but Tramon has better cover skills]
2. 
He already tried.
15-1
Back on track to Super Bowl XLVI!
MattFlynn4StartingQB
Yea
Most people outside of GB don’t know that, because Wood gets all the stats, but Tramon is probably better at covering. Woodson is by far a more complete corner though, he’s a good pass rusher, one of the two or three best tackling corners in the NFL, and covers very well. He also forces turnovers very frequently. If there’s one player on our defense to watch, it’s Woodson.

If I could have one player from your team, it would be Tramon

Him in run support compared to Wood in run support is completely worlds different; I think you’d rather have Woodson, unless you really, really need a cover corner.

He watches so much tape
He knows tendencies & will bait the QB to throw a ball he can make a play on. Sometimes it will backfire, but sometimes he’s handing the ball to a fan in the stands after scoring a TD.

Williams vs Woodson
Well if you’re including their ages, yea at this point Williams is… He is definitely not having the season like last yr, but he is still good.
It was also an uncalled defensive hold
Nicks didn’t make a one handed catch for the style points alone. Hopefully we’ll have a more evenly called game on sunday. Other than that, I have rediculous respect for Woodson, one of the best defensive players of my generation.
Victor Cruz is the 2011 Ahmad Bradshaw. He giveth, and he taketh away. Thankfully he is giving much more now.
by bigbluethruandthru on Jan 8, 2012 8:59 PM EST up reply actions
Yea
I’ve heard the term that Championship Teams get more calls, and that seems evident with the Packers this year; We certainly seem to get more calls than other teams. Woodson sometimes gets away with a lotta stuff as well, but again, I think that’s partially due to reputation. I’m sure they would’ve thrown a flag if he hadn’t caught the pass.

It was frustrating to watch
I saw alot of Packers fans saying they were the ones who should have been complaining about bad officiating, and I don’t know if any of them realized the Packers weren’t called for a single penalty the last 42 minutes of that game. Mighty impressive playing such perfect football. In all seriousness though, I hope the refs are just able to control the game and make the right calls either way. Watching the Broncos/Steelers, a game I have almost zero rooting interest in, and I was getting frustrated at the one-sidedness of the officiating. Just keep it fair, and then the better team will truly win on Sunday.

Eh
I didn’t think the officiating was as bad as most people thought it was, but then again, my team won. It really just comes down to who wins the game. I can say this, though, the Packers are a MUCH more disciplined team than they were in the past. That probably leads to them getting less penalties. But yeah, I can understand you guys being upset at the officials.

well
we won today & still had a problem with the officiating so maybe its just the Giants getting boned on the calls. or maybe just the fans being a lil too touchy. i for one think its the first.
& as for our last meeting, did u really thinking Jennings catch was a TD?

Maybe defensive pass interference will be called on both teams this time. Your defensive backfield was getting away with murder all game. every team gets calls, or no-calls, as the case may be.

Blackhawks: Taking care of business as usual.

I remember a ticky-tack
illegal contact that bailed you out after a third down miss. I also remember the Packers not being called for a single penalty for the last 42 minutes of the game. So yeah, hopefully it balances out on Sunday.

It tends to balance out. Blaming the refs for anything is petty.

Not really
it’s a factor in determining which team wins, and a factor that is increasingly incompetent. Even games I have no interest in are becoming frustrating to watch. Maybe it was for the better because it made for a thrilling finish, but the Steelers should never have been in that game. How they blow the whistle so fast on that backwards pass was beyond me. Especially from the ref who wasn’t in position to see where the ball actually traveled! But watching a game where one team is given opportunites and advantages on a more consistent basis than the other team is frustrating, and it most certainly impacts the outcome of games.

the roughing on Tebow was super weak
I thought it was called horribly pretty equally. It seemed like there were a lot of “make-up calls” all throughout the game.
13.
Build Lasers And Stuff For More Ownage, Dude!
Jennings explained his thought process on that one after the game
It was, essentially, “Don’t move your hands one little bit, or the ball will move and you won’t get this TD, doe.”
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
I did really think that was a catch
he possessed it with his fingertips & with two feet down and it was knocked out after. Real close, though.
13.
Build Lasers And Stuff For More Ownage, Dude!
According to the rules
that .02 seconds he held the ball still counted as a catch. But the logic gap of having that be a catch and the Calvin Johnson play not be a catch is so mind-boggling wide. I think the NFL is too stubborn to change a controversial rule sometimes, like with the Tuck Rule.

I liked what one of APC's members suggested
Gather 80 10-year-old boys together and have them watch videos and then define a catch. Write that in the rule book and be done with it.

I don't mind that Jennings catch being called the way it was
It was possessed, and then it was knocked out. Immediately when he possessed it, it’s a TD, so it doesn’t matter what happens after.
The “Calvin Johnson rule”, however, goes completely counter to that. You can possess the ball, but there’s a distinction made for going to the ground & completing the process of the catch. As soon as it’s possessed, it should be a TD, it doesn’t matter if he sets it down after that.
13.
Build Lasers And Stuff For More Ownage, Dude!
Lol
I wouldn’t expect you to “mind” the Jennings catch, it was a turning point in the game ;). I would like to see a slo-mo video to see if both his feet were actually down for that split second the ball wasn’t moving. But yes, if they were than its a catch. The Johnson play however is counter-intuitive to the sport itself, much like the Tuck Rule says a qb can have the ball knocked out of his hands when his arm is not moving, and it somehow isn’t a fumble.

the tuck rule is a disaster waiting to happen
one year, it will decide a super bowl, and that title will be tainted forever. The league is lucky that the Tuck Rule Game a) happened to the raiders, so not many people cared, and b) happened in the AFC champ game, not the superbowl.

Agree the Tuck Rule is equally counter-intuitive.
13.
Build Lasers And Stuff For More Ownage, Dude!
"Tuck Rule is equally counter-intuitive."
at least in the sense that it was called in the Raiders-Patriots game. It sorta makes sense if the QB pump-fakes and the ball slips out; I can see an incomplete pass being the rule there, but when the ball is stripped out by a defender, it just is ridiculous.

clearly their plan is very similar to ours…they want to run this “off” stuff and zone stuff to deal w/ the spread offenses.
and Nnamdi excels in press and Asante excels in off.

Eagles Secondary
after a real training camp and those guys developing some chemistry, the Eagles will have the best D backfield in football. They have an absurd line-up there, and if you don’t think so, you’re fooling yourself.
Maybe if their CB’s weren’t so different in their abilities. DRC and Asante Samuel are good in zone coverage, and struggle in man coverage. Nnamdi Asomugha is very good in man coverage, and struggles in zone coverage. I don’t think the chemistry will be there after one offseason given their strengths and weaknesses.

thanks for jumping on their bandwagon, why do people love the eagles so much, is it because they are a bunch of punks and people feel sorry for them?

Wow that's startlingly honest
I expected a smaller focus, like the DL isn’t getting enough pressure, it’s exposing our secondary or whatever
After watching this weekend’s games, I think next week is going to be interesting. No one figured TJ Yates to beat Cincy, Tebow of course, Saints really played a great 1/3 of a game, and we basically shut out Falcons when people thought they’d drop 28-30 on us. So I expect your D to play better and the game to not exactly be a madden game.
Looking forward to the game, GB-NY in the playoffs, the way it ought to be every year.

Pass rush is the problem, and the RE/ROLB isn’t getting enough pressure opposite Clay Matthews.

GB Defense
It concerns all of us Packer fans. The Front 7 isn’t generating pressure like it did last year. The CB’s aren’t playing physical and are playing off. Nick Collins was injured for the year in Week 2, and our safeties have been getting burned deep all year. So yeah, our concern is our entire defense, not just one aspect of it. Hopefully Capers and the defense saw some film from our D last year and realized, “That’s how you play defense!” The only thing we are happy with from our defense, as mentioned above, is our ability to generate turnovers. However, if we don’t get the turnovers, it’s going to be a stressful game.
One game at a time...
Thanks guys
Not seeing you week in week out, I just sort of assumed that you’re D was still OK, but with a weak spot
It’s hard to put that much stress on your offense/QB all through out the playoffs, but Rodgers and Co certainly bring the firepower. I think it’s going to be an interesting matchup and a great battle.

What's your O-Line looking like?
I know you said that the group that will be starting on Sunday will be playing alongside each other for the first time since Week 5, but are these your starting guys we’ll be seeing? I know I’ve heard that the O-line has had a few injuries (can’t remember the names).
lol
Well
We’ve had injuried to LT, RG, and RT. LT Chad Clifton went out against Atlanta in week 5, and played 25 snaps against Detroit last week, in which he gave up a sack. Those were his first snaps for about 11 weeks. Our RG Josh Sitton went out the week before Thanksgiving, and came back a couple weeks ago. Our RT Brian Bulaga went out against KC in our loss, and will be starting his first game in a month against you guys on Sunday. So basically…
LT: Chad Clifton
LG: TJ Lang
C: Scott Wells
RG: Josh Sitton
RT: Brian Bulaga
Sitton is the best of the bunch, and Bulaga and Wells are almost Pro Bowl players as well.

I don’t think The Giants can win a shoot-out type game like the 38-35 game was earlier this year.

Can GB control The Giants ground game?
Not particularly.
We’ve had Ryan Pickett, our best run defender our for a couple games, and we’ve been gashed whenever he isn’t in the game. Shutting down Bradshaw and Jacobs will be key, otherwise, it’ll be a frustrating day.

They tagged him, but I don't think that he ever signed it

The Skins could be a good partner, but I think they are trying to stick to the draft after the McNabb fiasco.
That’s the key I guess, If you have a coach/GM on the hot seat, they might give you something good. I’d never want my team to trade for a guy like Flynn, good QBs drop in the first round, and the new CBA doesn’t make the contract onerous any more.

Love how the Packers are owned by fans
I haven’t really rooted for them since they knocked the giants out last year, but if not for that they might be my second favorite team just for that. The Giants ownership is fantastic, the Maras and Tischs are considered some of the best in the NFL. Still, must be really nice knowing that you’re never going to get your feet held to the coals and threatened with losing your team if the taxpayers dont fork over hundreds of millions for a new stadium. Not that they could ever really replace lambeau anyway, the place is a shrine. Does anybody ever really talk about replacing it, though? it must be ancient.
Go Giants!
Lambeau is an amazing stadium, but part of that is due to the semi-constant renovation that ges on.
They won’t let it become a decrepit hole like Wrigley, which is only special at this point because of its “history.” But yeah, it is awesome to know that, when we see situations like the one in Minnesota right now, we will never have to deal with that, even though there is no logical reason why a team from a town of 100,000 people can survive.

Other than those, it’s been revamped to maintain its classic feel and offer amenities similar to other stadiums throughout the league.
You should come on over for a game sometime. I’ve truthfully never heard anyone say they’ve had a bad time at Lambeau.

There was obviously no way that they were going to let random people have any impact on the way the team is run, and nobody would want that anyways.

As far as access to season tickets goes, I find it all the more endearing that you can’t just outbid everyone else on the list for first crack. To me, it shows that the Packers value every fan just as much as every fan values them. A few thousand extra dollars in the bank doesn’t make you deserving of tickets, spending decades bleeding Green and Gold does.
And besides, for those that bought stock, they got something just as valuable and just as tangible as tickets to a game. Every time they see that certificate on the wall, they realize that they have helped ensure the continuation of one of the best things in the sporting universe. Some little, old town in the middle of the middle of nowhere is the home of 9in my opinion) the greatest franchise in the history of any sport, ever, and they can ensure that their kids will grow up to be a part of the same phenomenon.

Theoretically, if Hakeem Nicks were to play like Plaxico Burress, and Tramon Williams play like Al Harris, and Corey Webster play like Corey Webster, would Rodgers conceivably retire after this game?
On a more serious note, I am interested in getting some insight on the Packers’ one and only loss this season. Was the Packs’ low offensive output merely an off-day, or did KC’s defensive game-plan provide a possible blueprint for stopping AR?
Gravity affecting balls after they bounced off of the receivers' hands beat the Packers.

Another Packer fan might have to answer the KC question, as I only got to listen to it on the radio, and watch a shortened NFL Replay version, but it seemed to me that KC controlled the clock extremely well, Tamba Hali abused us in the pass rush, and our receivers inability to catch a ball really hurt us. Rodgers played really well, in fact, but his receivers had 6 total drops. It’s not quite a ‘blueprint’, but it’s a solid strategy.
15-1
Back on track to Super Bowl XLVI!
MattFlynn4StartingQB
I'll expand on that
The Chiefs followed the Giants’ game plan on D: pressure Rodgers, but from both sides of the line. If you let AR scramble with an escape route, he’ll find a way to complete the pass or run the ball himself. The Chiefs bottled up Rodgers and didn’t allow him that relief valve often.
On the other side of the ball, they dinked, dunked, and occasionally passed to keep TOP in their favor.
Here’s the part that you don’t want to hear: Our starting OL is healthy again. The matchups that worked so well for you (and the Chiefs) are not there next week. Getting symmetric push won’t be nearly the cakewalk it was a few weeks back. One good seal on either side of the line means that our QB can buy time to find someone downfield.
If I’m Perry Fewell (and I thank my personal deity that I am not on a daily basis), I would try to sneak some LB pressure up the middle to occupy a blocker, allowing JPP and Osi a chance to keep Rodgers contained. That may also contain the ~25 touches I see for Grant/Kuhn in the game, which would be all to the good for the Giants.

I guess I’m asking if this five have had any run together, because five All-Stars can be thrown together and not be a great line if they don’t have a ton of experience playing together. We saw that ourselves this year, a better group of players struggling because of lack of cohesiveness.

That chemistry is key for run-blocking
But not for the pass-blocking which is the Pack’s bread and butter this year. With this offense, I’m not looking for push or pulling – I’m looking for seals. I think a healthy line of NFL-tested starters gives Rodgers that extra step, look, and opportunity to pass that was just not present a month ago. Not saying it’s gonna work every time – your D-Line is too strong and creative to make that claim – but I think we will fare slightly better on that front than the last time we saw each other.

That's true
thankfully the Giants have a line of healthy, proven starters on the D-line that they didn’t have a month ago either. This particular battle will be epic, and will probably decide the game.

if Giants get consistent pressure, they have a great chance
if not, they lose. Pretty simple.
Go Giants!
Yeah that is a big part of it.
My question would be, what team thinks they will be able to block these guys?
There is not a team left in the tournament that our Dline is not a mismatch for. There are 3 game wreckers at DE on the Giants and all three are healthy. The DT’s are one step below beastly.
Our DT’s were mauling the Falcons interior Oline last week. That was where the pressure started from and it caused the Falcons to become completely conservative. They were terrified to try and throw it down the field knowing their QB would get killed.
If we continue that along with the Kraken pressure from the outside? The Giants will be very difficult to beat.

I'm not too keen on facing the Saints o-line.
They have two all-pro guards and gave our d-line fits last time they played. I said to myself and friends two weeks ago. “The only team I don’t want to play in the playoffs is the Saints, especially in that dome.”
Here’s to a Giants Niners NFC title game.
I hear you.
I asked on one thread if “we could have the Saints Oline.”
And in another I stated that they would be our Dlines stiffest test.
Giants Niners, yes, I’ll have one of those please….

4/5 started against the Lions
and the one who didn’t is the RT, so the only lack of playing next to eachother is the gap between RT & RG, which is our two best linemen. I think they’ll be able to cope with it, and are gelling together in practice all this week.

Probably overconfident.
Remember, we’ve won 20 of our last 21 games [Not trying to be a douche, but just making a point]. A few people have forgot what it’s like to lose, and quite a few of them have grown cocky. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for our team, they’re extremely well coached and I doubt they’re cocky and overconfident. But yeah, if you encounter any cocky fans, I’m sorry. And the majority of those comments came from the first half. The second half was a completely different story, as I understand. But yeah, I’m prepared for whatever; A loss would not surprise me at all.

eh, could happen
that “era” happened to reoccur last time we played the skins. That being said, its much more unlikely. I went back and rewatched the SB42 highlights, its amazing how much Eli has improved since then. His ball is thrown with so much more zip and purpose, and he is so much more decisive in the pocket. Makes that win even more amazing, really.
Go Giants!
The Seattle game was misleading
one INT was a bad throw, one hit the receiver in stride and he not only bobbled it, he reached out and flicked it up into the air so a defender could come by and pick it off. Third was a desperation heave with like 14 seconds left in the game. Only one of three was on Eli. Yeah I guess those could happen again, it’s not likely. The Redskins made two incredible catches on their picks. Seriously, go watch those highlights, they were incredible plays. I don’t remember the San Fran ones. Eli has put the ball in danger MUCH less than last year, his accuracy is not even comparable to last year.

first and goal down by 4 or 5, a catch makes it 2nd and goal from at worst the 4 yard line. Instead the receiver slips and then hits the ball up instead of down and it’s game over. Yet it’s Eli for the INT, smh.

About the extended amount of rest? Rodgers will be playing for the first time in three weeks. I personally am not the biggest fan of resting starters in the final week(s) unless absolutely necessary. Not playing for that long and then starting a game in Lambeau in mid January could be a bit brutal, I would think.

How has the Packers draft class turned out so far?
I know Cobb has made some contributions, but correct me if I’m wrong, Sherrod has been a miss so far? I know some people on this site were banging his drum as a good LT candidate. Has the class looked like some future players?

T Derek Sherrod (1st) was decent in limited action
Unfortunately, he broke his leg when we were getting lots of injuries along our OL, so he’s done for the year. They tried him at LG in the preseason, which may have hurt his development at T (along with the lockout). He, along with RB Alex Green (3rd) & DL Lawrence Guy (7th), are on IR. WR Randall Cobb (2nd) is really the only guy who has major contributions, but also has been the only one who has really been asked to. ILB DJ Smith (6th) stepped in for a few weeks when our ILBs got ravaged by injury, and was solid. TE DJ Williams (5th) & TE Ryan Taylor (7th) both have been getting time on special teams (because being the 4th & 5th TE doesn’t have a whole lot of receiving opportunities).
CB Davon House (4th) has been inactive for most games (due to being not polished enough, I assume, & they want to develop him more before throwing him into live action). G Caleb Schlauderaff (6th) was traded to the Jets on cutdown day, and the only true “bust” was OLB Ricky Elmore (6th) who was a flier on an athlete (failed conversion from 4-3 DE to 3-4 OLB) that didn’t work out. He was the only draftee no longer on the roster. Along with the draft class, we also have five UDFAs from this year on the 53 (kind of hard to believe) & another five on the PS. RB Brandon Saine has looked really good in limited action, a great 3rd down back who is good on screens.

D.J. Williams, more so after hearing his back story. I thought he would be higher than 4th on the depth chart, although if you can bring yourself to read Greggggggg Easterbrook the Packers’ success is predicated on their having 5 TE’s on their roster.

Depends on how negative you take ‘miss’ for. Wasn’t able to win a starting position, so has to be regarded as a disappointing 1st-round pick.
It did seem like he was coming around, though, until he broke his leg vs Chiefs. It’s a serious break, too (both bones in lower leg), so a long rehab, and no guarantee he will ever be back to full strength.

When you look at the matchups....
Besides QB and LB, where do you TRULY think you hold an advantage?? And in fairness, while Rodgers is the MVP, Eli being the 4th best QB in the NFL closes the QB gap some. Do you think that you will be able to shut down any of our WR’s?? Stop the running game?? Prevent our pass rush from getting to Rodgers?? Will Matthews be able to get enough pressure on his own to slow us down?? Where do you see this game being won??
Biggest advantage is..
GB WR vs Giants Secondary…I am not sure of the status of Ross. But the last time these two teams played there was no Jennings. This moves the entire group into a more favorable matchup. This will be the most noticeable if Cobb, Jones and Driver have big days. There is not one paticular aspect of the giants offense that worries me in the matchup, rather it is the entire unit. Eli has been great this year, the WR have been good to great and the RB’s have come on strong. This is a well balanced offense that could cause some problems.
jennings definitely played against us a few weeks ago

I think people look at the stats and automatically assume the Giants DBs stink
But our defensive backfield is really, really good. Very underrated. And one of the main reasons is because of completely blown coverages where guys are wide open, and uncovered. There really hasn’t been a ton plays where our DBs, specifically our corners, are just flat out getting beat.

And, I can’t answer your question yet because the game hasn’t been played. But if the officials gift-wrap two touchdowns for Green Bay, steal one from the Giants, and we lose by three… then yes.

I think the Giants have the best shot of beating the Packers; I think the calls in the game were very questionable; I’ve been very respectful of all your fans, mind the random Cowboys troll below. Dude, you can disagree with some of the APC commenters, but I’d just like to see you be a little more respectful, and a little less personal. And by the way, I wrote this fanpost.

yes and no...
I agree that you can’t complain too much about calls during gameplay that are nearly impossible to see and really quick… but I assume he’s referring to the Ballard TD… that one got reviewed and they still got it wrong. That call changes the entire complexion of the game.
That being said, I don’t think the refs call games differently based on stadium, its just unlucky that one specific, pretty large call went against us. I don’t think the whole year has been like that… but that was 1 bad call that was a large part (not the only factor) in why we lost that game.
How did they got it wrong?

The Jennings TD also...
Due to the Calvin Johnson incident against the Bears, the rule says you have to finish the catch all the way through. Jennings NEVER had full possession of the ball in the end zone and it got knocked out. TWO huge plays that went against us right there. Add in the no-calls on obvious holds when our DL was attacking Rodgers…..well, any need to go on??
He wasn't going to the ground.
That doesn’t apply.

Oh, and if you want to talk no-calls, did you DVR the game?
Go watch it again. Our receivers were wearing your DBs like backpacks. It could have been defensive holding or DPI on just about every play, since you want to bitch about calls and no-calls. You don’t think the Packers being able to catch the ball because your guys were forced to play legal defense wouldn’t have helped a few drives go a bit longer?
I guess my point here is that you should shut up, because you look petty and pathetic.

This week 34-26 Packers.

The only ones who don’t count them are those who don’t have any. It’s no surprise you don’t count them because you have none to count.

Well you're just disagreeing because I'm a Cowboy fan.

I think...
they should separate dead ball era Super Bowls vs. live ball era Super Bowls. I mean the game was mighty different for the first ~10 years of the Super bowl era.
I’m not sure if I’m serious about that or not, but I do believe all NFL championships count. Just because one’s team didn’t exist while other teams were winning championships, doesn’t mean those championships don’t count.

Can anyone besides Clay Matthews generate a good enough pass rush to fluster Eli??
Woodson can.
Beyond that, it’s up to some guys to elevate their play for the post-season
Packers: Working on a dynasty.
Blackhawks: Taking care of business as usual.
Badgers: Chin up, boys.
Brewers: Move along, nothin' to see here.
who is the OLB opposite Matthews? Any good?
Also, who are you currently starting up front 3? How are they? Anyone else get major PT, or just them?
Ryan Picket, BJ Raji, and Mike Neal/CJ Wilson/Jarius Wynn are our front 3.
Vic So’oto and Frank Zombo are starting at OLB opposite Clay Matthews.
On our front 3, BJ has had a horrendous year [19 tackles] partially because:
a. Our best pass rushing lineman, Cullen Jenkins left last year.
b. He plays way too many snaps.
c. He gets double teamed a ton.
None of the players mentioned before get much pass rush at all. BJ Raji and Mike Neal have the most potential of the bunch, they’ve showed it in previous years, but not this year.

I'm thinking Brad Jones will get the nod this week
Maybe they’ll stick with Walden, I don’t know. I wish we had a definitive starter on the opposite side.

I'm pretty sure Tim Tebow could get more pressure than any of our OLBs.

… but seriously, you guys are basically behaving like Cowboys fans in this thread. So much for having a productive discussion, I guess.

I can't stand APC because I think the writing and general level of conversation is remarkably poor...
… but if you were a Packer fan and you publicly demonstrated your stupidity this clearly and this repeatedly on that site, some of the regs over there would have long ago stepped in and said “hey, don’t think we’re all like this moron”. The fact that no Giants fans have done that here speaks volumes to me.
I suggest you look up the definition of irony. If you can’t figure out why, just know that the rest of us already have.

I don't agree with alot of the back and forth that's happened, but you know, the same thing happened at APC.
We all got trolled by some douchebag Lions fan, and nobody stepped up and said anything to stop him so I just peaced.

except Wiedmann, I suppose. But can you guys really blame BBVers for being all dickish
when the APC thread just got shat on all over the place? Packers fans were enjoying themselves when that Lions fan just started attacking Giants fans. And yeah, I get that its funny for a bit, I had a good time for maybe the first two or three comments, but after that it gets annoying.
I respect all the Packers fans that come over here. Y’all are real chill, regardless of how you feel about other BBVers or APCers, but at the same time, for some Packers fans to come here complaining about the way we’re treating them is a little hypocritical based on that trollfest of a thread over there.
And its just a few people who are ruining it for everybody, but once you get pissed off…everything goes to shit.
When my city gets called a shithole over and over again, and my intelligence is insulted by trolling on a thread that’s supposed to be simply for civil discussion, I can be man enough to just ignore it (for the most part) and peace. But a lot of BBVers were probably pissed off because of it, so (fair or unfair), a bit of douchebaggery by some of us here should be expected.

Allow?
APC has a very loose policy with banning. To give you an idea of what it’s like, delusional (the Lions fan in question) was banned from PoD during Packer week, but not from APC. Revenge4Favre, the troll who was a big Favre fan, wasn’t banned from the site until it was part of a site-wide ban, and if you think that was because he spoke glowingly of the Packers you’re way off.

13.
Build Lasers And Stuff For More Ownage, Dude!
The problem is that the mental patient Lions fan (or Packers fan in Lions clothing)
Should have been banned
Not cause he was insulting, that stuff was eh, but because he hijacked the thread and deprived THEM of a chance to get good info about our team. So fine, that’s how they roll, no biggie. But it’s fully predictable that people looking for a nice chat who get flamed up are going to come home and wreck this thread.
What’s funny to me is that they don’t find it equally funny when their thread here is getting dinged up. I mean aren’t those pix just as good as calling someone stupid. That stuff is just a laugh a minute. I just don’t have any jokes that stack up to calling someone’s town a shithole. That’s MENSA material right there.
To be clear, I found the APC guys fine (homer, maybe, but not outrageous), but if you’re unwilling to police a thread that’s an invitation to your opponents fans to help YOU know their team, that’s defined by one word, COWARDICE.
It’s already a wrap… might as well not show up tomorrow.

I'm not blaming anybody. Perhaps trueblue was a bit too harsh.
I don’t mind the trolls and what not over at APC. My point (and again, its only a few people, not the majority) is that if you (meaning the few people) allow people to say stuff like that over there and chuckle at it…don’t be butthurt when you receive the same treatment here. If people here are getting offended, calling us immature and what not, just ignore them here instead of responding to them. Same treatment, no?
It’s different over here at BBV than at APC. We rarely get trolls, and when we do, we drop the banhammer really quickly. So people aren’t used to it. That’s why I apologized to you Packer fans like you and arodgb a few lines up. It ain’t right to attack anybody who disagrees or who is a different fan.

like how the Eagles were assembling a team that wasn’t designed to beat the Giants or Cowboys, it was for the Packers and Saints. They were "above’ their division rivals and were worried about their opponents in the playoffs.

To the first part, that’s just ridiculous.
To the second part, I clearly stated in the title; No trash talking. No stirring up the masses. Yet you have singlehandedly pissed everyone off, and made yourself look unbelievably stupid to every casual observer. So while it might feel good to get mad at the refs for a week 13 game, or piss off Packer fans becuz you a boss, dawg, you’re not impressing anybody… except yourself.

I’ve heard some mention that you’re healthier on the offensive line. Do you feel like your team is playing at the same level (offensively or defensively) that they were then, or have you seen improvement (or regression) since then.

Once you leave the troll alone, along comes another person who reads it the first time (mostly the troll’s latest post) and responds and it becomes a bad cycle. That is why we do not allow that here.

I am from the Midwest and those guys should remember their humble roots a bit. A lot of this, in my opinion, is defined by the magnitude of the game Sunday. The Packers and Giants have had some recent clashes and there are hard feelings on both sides. I was going to jump in over there with all of the midwest banter, but luckily the 24 hour waiting period has let me calm down a bit. You are right TAWD, internet trash talk and everyone needs to remember that is what it is. Some of it has been funny, some tragic, I just can’t wait for Sunday.

How is Aaron Rogers in cold weather?
I think everyone forgets that it wasn’t Aaron Rogers who was the QB back in ‘07. And last year you were on the road the entire playoffs. So I’m wondering, is he any good when the temp dips below freezing? I don’t remember how cold it was in the NFC Championship game last year, but correct me if I’m wrong: didn’t he pass for like 50% with 2 INTs and 0 TDs. I mean he still had that potent offense last year and the Bears weren’t exactly a dominating defense if memory serves.

They let thread taken over by a Lions fan and gloat over it over at APC
Delusional is all crazed!
He’s got a claymore in each hand, a dagger in his teeth and a firecracker up his butt!
I’m just enjoying the show.
Wow,
You obviously did not read all of the comments.

i did
Coming and posting updates afterwards does not change the fact that majority of you were enjoying when that guy was posting. The fact that it was not put to a stop at that time and was in fact encouraged shows that it was allowed on purpose.
This is not the 2007 team.

How can we put it to a stop?
Plus I like how you are ignoring that fact that you guys were taking shots at him!

In retaliation, though, in hindsight, probably not the best idea, I'll admit.
I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

We responded to his posts but when we realizied he was trolling we stopped.
The fact that you say that you allow things there is the reason a troll can come and take over your site. Fine you do your way and we do our way. You can continue to have the last word on any topic and when you can’t or do not want to do it directly then you can let the trolls from other teams take the cheap shots at us.
This is not the 2007 team.

don't let that dude get under your skin BB....Oshkosh is right, its just better if everybody just ignores everything
and gets back to football lol

Naaah did not get under my skin.
We just are discussing different styles of doing things. Also have learned to watch out next few weeks for our next games. The 49ers or Saints fans will be worse anyway with the loooong filibuster posts by 49ers fans or the who dat’s by Saints fans lol.
Chief Oshkosh: Let us have a good injury free game on Sunday.
This is not the 2007 team.

delusional was taking plenty of cheap shots at the Packers when we played the Lions
I think the majority of us were surprised at his actions this week.
13.
Build Lasers And Stuff For More Ownage, Dude!
Sorry to hear about the Packer's OC's kid.
This is not the 2007 team.

yeah it's sad
I’m surprised no one made fun of that yet. I’ll wait 5 more minutes.
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
I just hope that the media does not start poking deep in to it till next week.
Let the man prep for funeral etc and take care of the coming game against us.
This is not the 2007 team.

Anyone makes fun of that
They are gone, for good.

Good luck guys
I would be devasted if we lost this game. Go Pack.
Don't worry man because can you imagine how those Pats' fans felt after the superbowl 42?
This is not the 2007 team.

Good luck to you as well.
Go Giants.

Talking trash???
Like how Flynn is the 2nd greatest QB evar after Bomar??
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.

Flynn is defiantly the greatest quarterback evar

Watch out for him
He volunteers fake punts on his own. One of these days Coughlin will really reprimand him.
This is not the 2007 team.

This was one of my favorite games of all time
hope it will be another tough fought, exciting game this week
