I like the fact that they seem to struggle running the ball. They had a few solid gashes last night against a dinged up Bears D, but overall it has been all Favre. They are a much better team than Detroit, and Lambeau is a tough place to play. I'm just glad it's early October and not late December. Otherwise it would be REALLY tough. I'm psyched for this one. Favre is my favorite football player, maybe my favorite sports figure, of all time. I know, I know, he's not a Redskin, but I've always loved the guy. He pretty much cemented it when he threw for 399 and 4 TD's the day after his father died suddenly (2003). I can't wait. Sorry Brett, but I hope you don't play too well in this one.

GB's defense gives up big games to tight ends, so look for Cooley to have a big game (especially if our top two wides are out).

We can't allow Brett Favre to get on a hot streak. He's had our number the last few times he's played us. It's certainly going to be a big test for us.

I think the biggest test this game will be on will be our corners. They handled Detriot great, but Green Bay runs a lot of quick slant routes and screens and I wonder how our linebackers and corners will handle that. The good thing is Green Bay has pretty small receivers, so we shouldn't have a size issue.

The difference is that the Lions don't run, and the Packers can't run consistently. We will have to pay attention to the run more in Lambeau than we did last week, because the Packers will at least try to run the ball.
They're going to try, but do they even have a healthy RB anybody should be afraid of? Vernand Morency? A gimpy Brandon Jackson (averaging 30 yards a game)? DeShawn Wynn? Yeah, I didn't think so, either.

Keep Brett from making the big plays. Keeping our Safeties in the right place will be a big deal. And watch those quick slants--they hit those well, and get good YAC on them. Again, safeties have to be in proper position.
It will be tough on O to get into a rhythm being at lambeau. We may need to hit a bomb or two to win this--time for JC to hit that pass. We have more speed than they can handle on the corners, if we can beat their jams and give JC enough time to throw.

Yup, all of their running backs have been shakin' up good at some point in the season. The first few weeks it was Morency, then Jackson, then last night Wynn had to come out of the game. If any of those 3 is 100% it's Morency, who isn't very good. They all aren't very good.

I think the key to this game is for the DB's to hold on to the passes that come their way...

carlos best get ready for them slant patterns. If he dont start looking at film yesterday he will get burned all day long. I would hope hope Greg pencils in the same scheme that he put in for the lions.

Agreed. With Carlos playing with 10 to 15 yard cushion, those quick slants will kill us.
