This record is broken and smashed to bits, but I'm playin it anyway. . .
The Packers are going to come out on D stacking the box and hoping to contain the run. Look for Russell to exploit the coverage with the precision of a neurosurgeon after feeling things out for 6 or 8 plays. Once again the tight end position is key in order to coax the Pack into the coverage we need for Marshawn to gash the living crap out of them. We start throwing that out pass to the TE's on 2nd down, and they'll start playing guys out wide on 3rd, and whammo! Marshawn up the middle.
I think this game will see a running of "The Play". (Playaction fake, rollout to the right, throw across the formation to a wide open Lynch along the right sidelines). They haven't run it in a few games and it is the PERFECT play against aggressive linebackers. Book it for the 3rd quarter, 2nd possession, ball on or around their 35.
On defense, well.. We already have a secondary that knows everything in Rodgers' bag of tricks, so it's all about the pass rush in this game. If we can get guys pressuring from the ends to force him up in the pocket, AR's passes are going to be inaccurate, and we all know what that means. I think that if we are lucky, Rodgers might get to a point of desperation as the game wears on and he may try some heroics his legs can't deliver. I hate that we can't beat him at 100%, but it is what it is.
Good guys: 27
