can a week off hurt Green Bay?

Rodgers was great vs Atlanta
vs Chicago not so great
this week, the packers are not playing, do u think this will hurt their momentum?

NE was so hot in the 2nd half of the regular season, then NE had a week off, did not play in the 1st round.

I think this is a well deserved week off that can only help the Packers. They are basically coming off 5 playoff games in a row and could use the physical healing.

They'll probably start the game slow and pick up pace in the second half because of the week rest.

[headhunter34]

i think a week off could help them. theyve been banged up lately and some extra time off could help them heal

[jcubs55]

No, Aaron Rodgers is the 2nd best QB in the NFL behind Manning

[KC]

Think the week helps because they are better coached and will have the perfect game plan in place

[thebertshow]

The week off is irrelevant. Both teams affected the same

[bigsmitty]

Both teams had injuries-not sure what to make of PITT's loss at center though-some say it's a big deal (potential for screwed up snaps/mistimed,etc), others say the replacement will be just fine. Cheers

I don't think you can compare their situation to NE due to the fact that they have been in 5 must win games in a row and are accustomed to playoff football/big game atmosphere. New england came off a break playing their first playoff game, compounded by the fact they have such a terribly young team.

If I'm GB and I'm hot, I'd rather ride the wave.
