We might be starting to see the pattern or MO of the Packers defense. They aren't necessarily a bend-but-don't-break defense. They are more of a give up points and yards but balance it with sacks and turnovers to win the game. It's a dangerous brand of football to play.
Hey Cheech.. I mean.. El Guapo.,
We’re currently the #8 scoring Defense in the NFL at less than <19 pts a game. If we can stay under the 20-21 pts per game average long term, I feel we will win the majority of our games. Not to mention our D so far setting up our O with a short field 1-2 times a game.
While Detroit has the ability to create some trouble for us, I don’t think it’s at all being arrogant in saying we’re the favorite to Win if we prepare properly and don’t take them lightly. We just played a pretty good Defense on the road in Arlington and our O put up 34 pts, while largely trying to churn the clock. All the while without our best Receiver. We’re seeing some glimpses of success with this O that we didn’t see weeks 1 and 2.
I expect Stafford to be getting the ball out quick and early. Stafford likes those RB screens in the flat, I’d hone in and focus on those RBs quietly sliding out or the Guard pulling as a Cue for that. All in all, if GB can continue the running game from last week, it will limit Staffords opportunities by churning the clock.
I do expect Detroit to score, but I also think our D gets a takeaway that turns the tide.
If Detroit plays well, I see them as a repeat of the Eagles strength wise, IMO that was as much as us self destructing as it was the Eagles playing good D and getting away with a few non calls.
hopefully we’ll see Rodgers getting plays off so fast, that the Ref will be offsides.
