Your Defensive Strategy??

[Deleted member 6794]

All of the talk about must stop Dallas' running game is missing the point. This game is about defense for both sides. So what if Elliot has 200 yards and 2 TDs? It just means it will be a lower scoring game for both sides. The question is which team will score on a higher percentage of their possessions? I'm pretty confident in the Packers' ability to win that showdown. Their chances of stopping Rodgers and Co. is pretty damn low with their pass defense. They will be able to take time off the clock, but they won't prevent us from getting ours when we do have the ball. They will likely need to win the turnover battle if they win the game. Packers will win 24-20.

I highly doubt the Packers win the game if they allow Elliott to rush for 200 yards and two scores.

That depends on whether Dallas D stops Rodgers on our possessions. Regardless how many rushing yards you have, you can only score once per possession. If we match them score for score, it just makes for a lower scoring game overall and it still comes down to number of possessions/turnovers.
