Exactly. Phenomenal offense, but the D is middle of the pack. Anything can happen though.
Agree! Their defense can pull together and dominate during the playoffs. But I hope not haha

They can be blown up though on offense too. Like they can't beat a great defensive line still. Tampa poses a big threat to them, and so do the Saints with or without Brees. Both those teams can take the run and Adams away. Slow Aaron down, wait for mistakes, dropped passes, etc. Keep the ball from him, burn some clock.

They are multi-toothed and cause problems...so ya'll are probably right if you play a bunch of games round robin they end up 5-7. But they are going to struggle against anyone good defensively that also has an offense and probably get blown out again at some point in the playoffs. Thats just who they are and how they are built. They overpower you with Jones/Adams/Rogers greatness, but if you can go to work on their D and take premium weapons away, they will cave in the trenches.
I don’t think they will ever get blown out but overall I agree. They can be and have been stopped, especially in the playoffs. They aren’t well rounded enough to win the SB this year. I personally think the Saints will represent the NFC in the SB.

Then you got curb stomped by the 49ers because of the same weak run d. The team really hasn't improved.

Our run D was far worse last season though. This year is just slightly below average, and has been on the upswing for a while.

Hasn't improved... except for, you know, run D, offense, and QB play. Last season we weren't the greatest O of all time with the greatest QB season of all time.

Our O line is literally the best in the league. What the fuck are you talking about? LOL

We easily handled the Saints D. TB beat us because we blow in the Florida heat. 2-6 in Florida in the Rodgers era.

Slowing Aaron down is harder this year than slowing any other QB down throughout history lol, we lead the league in turnover margin, we rarely drop passes, and we lead the league in TOP. Nothing you said about how to beat us makes any fucking sense lol.

Take our premium weapons away? Uh, how? If that was easy we would have the greatest O in history lol. Our number one O line faced in the trenches once this season, because of a major weather disadvantage.

One of the greatest, not the greatest. It'll be top 5 but Peyton manning 55 TDs and just short of 5500 yards will definitely have it beat.

Rodgers will have a better TD to INT ratio, better pass rating, and more rushing TDs and yards.

The Packers aren't a SB team, they're just a great regular season team like they always are. Defense isn't good enough.

You do realize over the last decade the Packers are the best NFC playoff team in football, right? Neck and neck with the Squawks.

Our average at worst D isnt good enough, with the best O in history nonetheless? Cope lol.

That's true they might make the SB but I think a team like the Chiefs are clearly better than them. Also TB wrecked them similarly to how SF did last season and that's a tough matchup for them. If TB can make the Championship game I think they should be the favorite.

The Bucs beat us because we blow in the Florida heat.

TB in Lambeau in January will be a complete reversal of round one. Not to mention, were just clearly a better team. Bad performances happen.

In the NFC, sure. Couldn't hope to match the Patriots or anything like that. Be honest, it's a damn shame that a QB as good as Rodgers only has 1 SB win and 1 appearance.

Got smoked by SF...again

I think it's amazing when a team actually does their homework on their opponents and like, you know, exploits their weaknesses. you would think a division rival would be able to do this even better. :rolleyes:

Give me the TDs and the yards

Who cares about more TDs if your addition turnovers make up the difference? Better TD to INT ratio ftw.

Additional yards due to a higher volume of attempts isn't that impressive. Rating is much better

Sure. Cant match the Cheatriots, but who else?

Being the second best playoff team in the league over the last decade = 'great regular season team'?

Well we'll have to see where it ends up after 16 games. Won't matter so much if they don't win the SB though.

We already know Rodgers is a great qb, but maybe people would actually think of him as the GOAT if he actually wins SBs.

Well yeah if you're counting total playoff wins and stuff but the fact of the matter is that they've only been the best team in the NFC over the last decade once.

The GOAT shouldn't be judged by how good his team is, the GOAT should be judged by how good he actually plays.

Bradshaw isnt better then Marino lol.
