Holly revels in taking potshots at other NFL teams. As with most commentary that comes from Washington, D.C., snark is liberally applied.
Opposition Research: Chicago Bears (NFC Championship)
For the Packers to go into Soldier Field and raise the Halas Trophy, they’ll have to expunge all of the demons that have followed them since week 3.
Opposition Research: Atlanta Falcons (Divisional Playoff)
The Atlanta Falcons are sick and tired of hearing about how the Packers are going to waltz into Atlanta and win handily. They’d like to remind you that they’re the #1 seed, they won the FIRST time, and they’re going to do it again.
Opposition Research: Philadelphia Eagles (Wildcard)
We’ll find out on Sunday whether four months of game film was enough for Dom Capers to crack the secret to the Michael Vick-led Eagles offense.
Opposition Research: New England Patriots (W15)
If the Packers want to keep their fading playoff hopes alive, they’ll have to steal a win from the Patriots, a team that’s playing better than anyone else in the league.
Opposition Research: Detroit Lions (W14)
In the year’s last “easy” game, the Packers face the Lions, who’d love nothing more than spoil the Packers season and break their 19-game division loss streak.
Opposition Research: San Francisco 49ers (W13)
The Packers need to win on Sunday, if only to save us from having to watch the 4-7 49ers make the playoffs.
Opposition Research: Atlanta Falcons (W12)
Last year, the Packers got torched by savvy quarterbacks. Against Atlanta’s Matt Ryan, Dom Capers has a chance to prove he’s gotten that “cleaned up.”
Opposition Research: Minnesota Vikings (W11)
What comes AFTER that emotional release that comes with finally, finally, getting a win over Brett Favre? Potentially, a really good football game.
Opposition Research: New York Jets (W8)
It may be “next man up” for the Packers against the Jets this week, but that’s a hard game to play when you have to go out and GET a guy to be that “next man.”
Opposition Research: Miami Dolphins (W6)
The Dolphins are bye-rested and healthy. After two ugly home losses, a win on the road, against the injury-riddled Packers, would set the team back on track.
Opposition Research: Washington Redskins (W5)
The Washington Redskins love nothing more than to play the spoiler. Can they pull off the upset…and incite panic in Green Bay?
Opposition Research: Detroit Lions (W4)
I keep saying that “these aren’t last year’s Detroit Lions,” and I believe it…when everyone’s healthy. Injuries are dooming the Lions early this year.
Bears-Packers: The Worst Kind of HS Reunion
You know you’ve moved on. You know you’re smarter, more mature. But all of the sudden, there you are, caught in the same place you were in high school. The Bears forced the Packers to relive the worst parts of their 2009 season on Monday night.
Opposition Research: Chicago Bears (W3)
Holly believes, hands down, that the Bears Still Suck. You can’t convince her just yet, however, that they aren’t a really tough match-up for the Packers in primetime.
Opposition Research: Buffalo Bills (W2)
The Packers open their 2010 home schedule against a Buffalo team that’s strong at RB and CB and weak everywhere else.
