I disagree. Pass, pass, Pass . DON'T TAKE THE BALL OUT OF RODGERS HANDS. Pass it to the Running Backs. Shuttle it even. Vitale needs to be in the offense too. Rodgers needs to throw! Running will only slow the tempo down, and help the panthers. Your prediction says. this game will be to close. When it doesn't have to be. Run on the turnovers. Force their QB into mistakes.

If our O line doesn't start kicking some ass in response to the laughable performance against the Bolts, we have some serious problems. Getting schooled like that is pretty scary. Billie should be a backup. Does Light play guard?

I'm going with PackerAaron'sNeverWrong on this one. Run the ball. And, quick passes to the backs.

I'm still pondering whether the Packers have shucked whatever it was that ailed them or if they're simply looking to get to the bye wee. This doesn't exclude MLF and Pettine if they can respond to such a shit stain performance, in one week, or are they also looking for another week to reinvent what worked and than failed.

I think the game will be close until McCaffrey wears our defense down and breaks it away. Packers lead 20-17 starting the 4th and Car takes it over 24-20 and then the Packer turnover on a drive gives Car the game breaker score. Hope I'm wrong!!!
Car 31-20

This and every Packer game is going to be a close one, they are not elite and will always play at least one or two quarters of average or worse football. So yes it will be close and let's hope the team finally starts getting some takeaways that will lower my/our anxiety.

To much is made of players like McCaffrey. Great talent, but is on a field with great talents every week. But like Aaron Rodgers or D. Adams (when healthy) can tilt the field in your teams favor, if they are in a position to do so. Or not. (see last game, watch Rodger's be mortal...) This is the time of year where injuries and fatigue become major factors in a teams play. Packers are in trouble in this aspect because they do not have a deep bench, and have to plan and restrict what they might want to do on the football field. A hard fact of life in the NFL. Well, it's time for the SHORT FLACKY.. Offense: The Panthers are more dangerous without Cam at QB. If they can get into the short passing game, they can do some serious damage in the Packers weakside defense, with or without McCaffrey. Keeping the Packers offense off the field is key for the Panthers. Packers: Do what you should have done last week. RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL! This is a banged up O line, and any chance of a pass game is going to be off play action. (So naturally, the first snap will be out of shotgun...//////) Rodgers must be on time and schedule in the pass game, otherwise it's going to be a long day for this Packer team. Oh. Rivera as a DC was a blitzing fool, Panthers will gamble, so the short slant, quick screen will be open, look for it. Defense: Panthers got last weeks video, so look for a lot overloading toward Rodgers right. Could be a long day for the right side of the line. Panthers secondary plays a pretty straight combo zone, nothing fancy. There will be voids in coverage, it all comes down to how quickly can the blitzes get to Rodgers. Packers: This could be a very tough day for the defense. Wear and tear has caught up to the starters and core players. Pettine for the past month has been forced out of his 3-3-5 because of injuries and lack of depth in both ILB and hybrid/SS. While ugly, the Packers did win 2 out of the 3 with shutdowns in the red zone and turnovers. Expect more of the same. Kickers: JK Scott has been everything the Packers has ask him to be, and Mason Crosby is 'good Mason' in a contract year. (Ha Ha too bad Gute...) Special Teams: I pray for their... NUTS! just nuke the whole unit from obit to be sure and start again. AND MAKE SURE MENNENGA IS AT GROUND ZERO!!!!!! Score: Packers 24-17. (not so short eh. heh, heh, heh........ :-)
