The Playoffs are finally here! Hard to believe another great Packers season has come and gone, but the start of the playoffs is the start of a new season and anything can happen!
Go Pack!
The way the Packers defense is playing now they have a great shot at bringing home the trophy this year. I hope they keep Aaron in the shot gun with short fast passes and hand offs to the beast. If they do that then Aaron can survive the post season.
I bet we meet and greet the Lions again. Any takers?
I’ll take that bet. Detroit can’t win a game on the road against a team with a winning record. Would be a huge upset for Detroit to win in Dallas. Cowboys have a better O-line than we do, and should shred Detroit’s defense. Dallas should have no problem defending Detroit’s sputtering offense.
And Dallas would be no cake walk for GB the following week. I still think we can win, but may be a similar shootout to the Cards game in 2009.
Cardinal game was in AZ, not GB!
We won’t meet the Lions again in these playoffs unless we both make it to the championship game!
