One of the biggest complaints about McCarthy is that he takes his foot off the gas and goes conservative. He doesn't go for the jugular with the kill shot. However, when Arians does it its bush league. Kind of hypocritical don't you think.

Kinda like a Seahawks fan whining that the Patriots got lucky in the SB.

Maybe you aren't one of those whining about McCarthy and if that's the case I'm sorry but if you are not you are one of the very few who don't.

Tough match up for our Pack but I think they make it a game. The media will point to the last match up without stating the facts that Green Bay was without their #1 corner, ended up losing Raji early and were playing with a patched up offensive line. This is not to make excuses for the Packers who sputtered into the playoffs with their diminished offense after the bye week but it certainly does make a difference.

The bye week could be a blessing or curse. Let's hope it has some negative impact on the Cardinals who may be looking past the Packers because of the previous match up. Arians had mentioned that the ball bounced their way quite a bit the last match up and that is true. The Packers played sloppy football and the game got out of hand quickly.

I expect a different Packers team to show up this week. If Shields comes back healthy, he comes back with some pretty fresh legs. The rookies now have some great experience under their belts and are fresh off a win against a Redskins offense that was being considered red hot.

The defense keeps the Packers in the game.
The offense will have to play a great game and maybe get some luck once or twice.
Special teams will need to make 1-2 exceptional plays (long return, turnover).

Packers win
24-21

I'm confident the D will do their part again on Saturday. I say again because they played well in the post season in '13 against the 49'rs, again last year against Dallas and Seattle, and last week vs. Washington.

Capers has had his defense ready for the playoffs. All they (and we) have heard is how good Arizona's defense is and rightfully so but I don't think this D gets enough credit. It's kind of aggravating when all I heard last week was Cousin's this and Cousin's that and the D pretty much shuts them down the last three quarters but little said about that. I mean Cousin's was supposed to tear the Packers a new one! Remember?

If Capers has these guys as ready as he has proven he can in these playoff games I see no reason they can't go toe to toe with the Cardinals. It's just like last week only the names have changed. Now it's Palmer and now it's Fitzgerald and nine sacks the last time they played.

It makes my head hurt.

The warm temps until recently and Saturday night game time helps. The GB players have not acclimated to winter yet. The high in AZ is supposed to be around 65; but at 6:30 the temp should be 6-8 degrees cooler and dropping to low 50’s by end of game. So Mike McCarthy has got the guys practicing in mid 50 temps in the Hutson center; the temp difference won’t be a factor.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

The Cardinals are a lot better then the Redskins. But that doesn't mean we can't win tomorrow. I think a huge thing will be, making sure we don't fall far behind early. I think that would spell doom for us.
Lacy and Starks need to have big games too, to take the pressure off our QB.

I'm hoping for a win, and for Seattle to beat Carolina. That would put the NFC title game in Green Bay!

"People are comparing the two teams this week. Don't listen to them. The 2015 Packers are a different animal. If the Packers are going to make a Super Bowl run, they'll need to be opportunistic, hoarding every point, turnover or anything otherwise representing an opportunity. The 2010 Packers were wolves in the brush. The 2015 Packers will need to be hyenas."



Thought this was a good read.  I don't mind the comparisons but I see them everywhere I look when something about the Pack is posted. I thought the comparison in the above quote was perfect. The Packers are going to have to be scavengers in the 2015 playoffs. They must have everything bounce their way and have all three aspects of the game firing on all cylinders to beat the remaining field of the 2015 playoffs.
