Look at the Packer's schedule this season -- they gave up more than 20 points only 3 times. Packer's D may be best in the league when you factor in many games the kick coverage and other special teams blunders gave opposing teams free scores. See the pats game: NE effectively had 2 offensive TD's against GB. All told they were a close 2nd in scoring D. That's big in playoff games.
i think you are right
You cannot go far into the playoffs being one diminutional. And that is the Packers. For all those taking GB +3, good luck you may need it.
Don't forget Vick almost brought back the Eagles that first game of the season. Vick only played one half and the Eagles were down 13-3 at half with Kolb, and a Buckley fumble in Packers territory caused the eagles to be down 20-3. And the eagles lost that game 27-20 but I think this time around will be different.
I assume you mean "dimensional." Like the Eagles are, as their defense stinks.Originally Posted by YaMotha

Green Bay did not come close to dominating the first game between these two. Rodgers got picked off twice and sacked three times, had 188 yards. If you go back and look at that game, the one thing Philly was horrible at there was getting off the field. GB converted too many 3rd downs, especially long 3rd downs. Still with all that and Vick not anywhere near what he is now, the Eagles had the ball at the end with a chance to tie. Dumb call on 4th & 1 for Vick to plow up the middle ended their last drive. It wasn't a dive, they needed a full yard plus. And the drive prior to that, they had to fetch a FG after stalling inside the 5. With a full season in charge of the offense, Vick will be better now. This will be a competitive game and fun to watch.
Can't wait for Vick to get exposed
should be the best game of the weekend
Lol thanks damn auto correct on the iPhone. It's easy to play great defense if you know 80% of the time the play is going to be pass.I assume you mean "dimensional." Like the Eagles are, as their defense stinks.
I'm a diehard Packers fan and Vick scares the hell out of me. As much as I don't want to see another shootout like the first round last year, i believe that's what we're going to see.
37-34 Pack
Don't know who to take.. will wait and see what line tells me. Can't wait to watch this game
philly will win gb has no running game philly too explsoive vick too good
Packers defense is too good for Vick
So I can take the home team, the team with the better record in the tougher division, that can run the football, with a weeks rest, not even give 3 pts, and I've got the JJ on the other side of the action.......hmmm
I took the Eagles -2.5 myself.
later
I was hoping for a higher spread to take Green Bay... Any chance this game crosses 3 before kick off?
