Packers Pass D season in review: http://packershome.com/ForumsPro/vie...04.html#193204

Really good stuff.

Looks like we've reached critical mass, and sadly, it's only week 5.

Could get ugly from here.

Well how do you like that.

Thought I should bump this, where is the Packers love at?

Seen a pretty decent writeup about the Packers this year on TSN.

The most impressive player I have ever seen in person is Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

He is not the most impressive defensive end I have ever seen (Julius Peppers) and he is not the most impressive defensive back I have ever seen (Troy Polamalu) but if I had to pick a player from all,900 players in the NFL, it's Rodgers.

It is also why Green Bay has a real opportunity to repeat as Super Bowl winners for the first time since the New England Patriots did it in 2004-05. Brady, Manning and Brees are all 30 years or older while Rodgers is 27. He can throw a football with accuracy, velocity and consistency of efficiency better than anybody right now. That in association with a calmness that is surreal makes Green Bay a safe and logical Super Bowl pick as along as Rodgers stays healthy.

But there is so much more.

1) Tight end Jermichael Finley is part Tony Gonzalez, part Dallas Clark, part Kevin Boss. He has the confidence of Gonzalez, the smooth athletic flow of Clark and the toughness of Boss.

2) The Packers are young and hungry: LB Clay Matthews (25), TE Jermichael Finley (24), NT B.J. Raji (25), S Nick Collins (27) and WR Greg Jennings (27). The only player of significant age is Rod Woodson at 35. When you're young, you desire; when you're older, you contemplate. Green Bay fits the statement "old enough to have seen it all and young enough to do it again."

3) Corrnerback Sam Shields was an undrafted rookie that is equal to any player at his position in the league. Finding Shields is not lucky, it is a compliment to the scouting staff in every way that they can recognize pro football players. There are other Sam Shields out there waiting to be found.

4) At 35, injuries started to limit the abilities of offensive tackle Chad Clifton but he played the last third of the season like he played 10 years ago. Logic says he has another good year in him and if so, that allows last year's first round pick Derek Sherrod to develop into the next Bryan Bulaga.

5) Yes, you can rationalize that if Brian Urlacher had not been tackled by Rodgers and run back that interception for a touchdown, it may have been a Bears-Steelers Super Bowl. Or if Ben Roethlisberger had not thrown an interception to Nick Collins for a touchdown, the 6-point win by Green Bay could have been a 1-point win for Pittsburgh. But no other team had 15 quality players not on the roster due to injury like the Packers. Some had a similar number but not the same talent.

6) This summer, the Eagles have signed more talented free agents than anyone after winning the NFC East but the Packers have been very quiet. Last year, the Packers were quiet again while the free agent market was very active. If free agency was a determining factor in winning games, the Washington Redskins should have been the most successful team of the last decade.

7) It is easy to pick Green Bay as the NFC representative in the Super Bowl and other teams know it. It is why Atlanta traded so much away for running back Julius Jones because they know to beat the Packers, they will have to outscore them. It is why the Eagles signed cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha because they know to beat the Packers, they have to keep it close.

And it is why head coach Mike McCarthy said after the Super Bowl win, "We're just getting started."

Browns > Packers

Exactly the kind of reactionary post to expect after reading so many true things.

FEAR US!

Josh's article lost all credibility when it referenced this.

James Jones is getting some Lambeau Leap practice in today !

It's because I benched him as my flex starter after 3 weeks of horrible production.

Hello boys and girls...the phrase for the day is

" make up call"

[Primetime]

Discount Double Check ahhhhhhhhhh!

[MrBill]

The Packers offense looked good and at times great yesterday but I am still worried about the defense's ability to cover. Were it not for the dropped ball by Sproles, the Saints would have been able to run the clock down to a minute and kick the game winner in Lambeau. Granted the Packers got jobbed again by the non-call on the fumble by Sproles so perhaps it was the football gods that caused the drop and made the FG attempt by Hartley go wide.

I'm not seeing the Colts beat the Packers next weekend but the DB's still need more practice or a better coverage gameplan.

[ram29jackson]

I like the Packers in this one tonight at least...seem a tad stronger

edit... LOL maybe not ?
