One thing I'll give the Giants last year was that they really 'generated' that old 2007 flame within which carried them back to the Superbowl last year. -Everybody seems to be comparing 'these' Packers to the 2010 Packers, when even Aaron Rodgers (himself) has disputed such, and that the mentality is far different (compared to 2010's 'adversity' mentality).
-These Packers remind me a lot of the old 49ers teams from 1991-1993, the offensive talent is there, and the 'QB' is present (so they're gonna be in the playoffs every year), but there's just too much age/inconsistency/injuries on the defense and o-line which will continue to cost them unless Ted Thompson decides to stop being so 'cheap'. -Another concern is that McCarthy's Packers have suffered more injuries than any other era of Packers football.
Packers have no business winning Saturday, and if it happens, it falls on the 49ers more than the Packers being the 'better' team.
I agree about the Niners being at fault if they get knocked out, because while GB is a great team, they are dinged up. I want to write more, but so tired. Good night
Couldn't agree with you more! NO EXCUSES if we lose this. I've said this whole time that I thnk we come out like we did against the Saints playoff game and Pats game this year. High intensity, hitting guys all over the place. I watched the Week 1 game again yesterday and did notice that we have to contain James Jones. He's their top WR. Jennings has more talent, but Jones and Rodgers are madly insync. I wonder who'll be on him most of the day. Rodgers went deep to him 3 times in that game, all broken up, so we better be ready for the PA bombs!!! I doubt Nelson is healthy enough to stretch the field and burn our DBs.
