    The Packers own the NFC North they have a winning or 500 record against every team in the division. The Giants will be a laugher they are all expecting a Brett Favre gift int in the playoffs those days are gone, Aaron and the Packers will win by 17

    Agreed, we need Damarious to be able to go or miraculously Quinton who is back in Green Bay from the Hospital but status is very unknown (or haven't found anything).

    I love Brice, but he is young, raw and still more of a Safety than a covering man/man type guy. He tackles aggressively, but coverage skills are still VERY young.

    Basically we have Gunter and Hyde with serious CB experience and even Hyde is more of a Safety than a CB. Just pray Gunter stays healthy like he has all year.

    Thats exactly how many points the Giants beat the Packers by in the 2011-2012 season playoff game at Lambeau. I guess you forgot about that one huh? No Favre to blame.

    Yeah overlooking the Giants come the playoffs is just insane, for some dumb unexplainable reason they simply are amazing in the playoffs over the years....

    Granted the Giants have been unexplained in the playoffs, not sure if they have a run in them I think they don't. If the Packers take care of the football catch it and do not fumble it things should work out for them.

    I would probably pick the Pack if I were betting on the game since it's in Lambeau. Only a few Giant players remain from their last Super Bowl team. But the G Men have a solid D, QB with 2 rings and perhaps the most dangerous WR in the game. But, Eli has not been playing great football this season.

    Not looking forward to any game with how depleted the secondary is for the Packers now. But then again, that may what gets them the win. Eli and the Giants having a little to much confidence, and the Packers Secondary relying less on habit and more on fundamentals. Dom will have more help over the top allowing for more physical play on the outside and underneath.

    The key will be how much pressure the Defensive Front can get on Eli.

    Now granted I'd rather have Shields, Rollins, Randall and Gunter...not just Gunter...but the inexperience and unlikely DBs we'll have also "can" potentially work for us if we stay fundementally sound as you said, because outside of Gunter there is next to zero film for Eli and NY to study on the guys that will be out there.

    I agree, Eli will attack them and often, which means I bet a few jump balls and a couple miss-throws happen. If GB can capitalize on 1 at the right time or 2 over the game IT COULD BE HUGE!

    I just can't believe the difference in the look in Rodgers eyes when compared to early this season. Even the body language. He is a man on a mission at the moment.

    Did he break up with Munn...LOL seriously his family BS and performance suffered from the moment they got together....I agree though!

    He looked dispassionate before and even when a big play happened he'd just "eh" type thing every time...now he's jumping, screaming, double checking (dumb) all over....and pumping up the other guys.

    Hard not to agree with this, whatever his plague was - it sure seems to be past him now.

    This is validation to me that you just say dumb crap you can't possibly mean just to get a rise out of people.

    When everything works out it's easy to just relax.
