What say you?
This. If the offense can put up 35+, yes, not a problem.253hawk":31bm1a62 said:Absolutely, but the offense is going to have to show up.

I think that is unrealistic and unnecessary. With Earl the team is giving up 15 points a game. There is not a 10-15 point swing without Earl.
What the offense will need to do is up the time of possession. Better running, safer passing, less penalties.
And the defense will need to adjust the underneath zones and especially learn to cover the wide runs that Earl is so good at converging against.

Terrell is good, but he doesn't cover the outside runs and other things that Earl does so well.
Rodgers is on fire lately, and we're going to lose at GB (I hate to be negative, but we will).
It's not about big picture, but several smaller pictures: we likely lose to GB, do we eat AZ who also loves to throw deep? If Earl being out costs us a couple of games, we probably lose a 1st round bye and have to go on the road.
The margin of error starts to get thin. We have GB, AZ and the Rams coming up, which on paper looks pretty easy. But GB will be away in the snow, AZ can exploit us deep without Earl, and seriously....the Rams. We should be clown stomping this team every year, but they've won what....6 of the last 7 ? We all keep thinking we'll win those games, and we just keep losing them.
