Kinda like Bret Bielema coming in and beating the snot out of the Badgers at home.

I couldn't care less about the Packers getting home field tbh. Do I think they are going to the Super Bowl? No but that isn't much of a prediction. 

I've just learned my lesson when it comes to anointing them as this or that during the regular season. I think they are a lower tier playoff team this season but lots of those teams find their stride at the right time. 

Oh well. Hope they figure it out, but I try not to get too invested anymore. It is just not worth the anguish you can let it become.

Not only is this absolutely a possibility, I would go so far as to say it is statistically likely. 

Any abandonment of the ground game, whether because of falling behind in the game, or because we oddly just feel like it as we've inexplicably done numerous times this season, and Parsons will be absolutely licking his chops to get after Rodgers. 

Come to think of it, we match up terribly with Dallas. They like to run the ball, and they have the kind of pass rush that historically gives us nightmares. Nothing about that game screams likely win to me.

Has Rodgers just gotten so used to targeting one WR that he doesn't much look around for other options? You'd think in a WR group where nobody particularly stands out as great that the ball would be spread around more with not everything going to Cobb. Even if Watson played would he have seen more than maybe two targets?

So how many first-rounders does a team need on defense before it's good? There's always going to be room to pick on individual players here and there, but the overall talent is a world above pretty much everyone. We don't blitz despite having good CBs and why do we play zone so much? I don't recall a single moment in the game where it seemed like the Giants were having a hard time completing a pass. 

5.0 yards per pass against the Giants. 4.7 yd rushing average and we ran it all of 20 times despite having the lead or it being close most of the game. Dillon with a 5.7 carry average and he got a whopping 6 carries.
