"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Since 1998, Packers are 2 -7 in Tampa Bay. Heat always seems to make them wilt down there. Looks like it might rain Sunday afternoon. Guess that's to GB's advantage?

Well this thread is off to a fun start!

 

 

Seriously though, TB's defense has been more impressive than their offense...but they also just lost probably their most valuable overall defender in Vita Vea to a broken ankle.

 

JPP despite his best efforts to permanently disable himself is still a pretty damn good edge rusher.

They have great 2nd level speed, it may be as good as any defense in the NFL. It's a very hard defense to get to the edge on so I would anticipate the Packers do most of the work up the gut. If it's a difficult game I think it will be because they slow us down. Brady doesn't concern me all that much. The Packers usually do OK low mobility QBs. I think it's probably the best team they've played to this point.

Without Vea, that will be significantly easier to do. They do have elite speed with White and David...so I can see them having a big day pounding the ball. And I'll predict Dillon starts to get carries coming out of the bye. 6-8 anyway.

 

And Brady struggles when he gets pressure up the middle and can't step into his throws. Clark should be a big factor in this game.

 

I don't know if there's a big difference in Tampa and NOLA. The Saints have the more talented secondary, probably as good at LB'er and not as good up front. Both are capable of beating the Packers though.

Found it odd that both runs were stretch plays, when TB defense has a ton of speed.

 

St. Brown missing time shouldn’t lead to mental mistake. If anything he had more time to learn playbook.

Rodgers audibled at the line. St. Brown didn't pick up on it.
