I think the opposite, I think they came round quicker than expected.

No way am I expecting a blowout though, but I’d like nothing more.

I really feel the D has turned the corner as you would expect with this staff. It took longer than expected but they have been real solid versus better teams than the young mistake prone Pack. That is why the ranking are meaningless in this case, would like to see their ranking for the games since the bye only.

Add to that the late season incentive intangible and this game has the look of a blowout.

I formally apologize for egregiously abusing the “5 second rule” but I find it more rude to interrupt someone mid-sentence than to blah blah balh in the blog blog blog.

Anyhow, my point is that I’d rather be the Jets this week than the Giants. Some would argue that this is always the case but all I’m saying is I like our chances and the Giants are nobody’s sweetheart any more.

If the D plays well NYJ win; the offense will be fine in my estimation.

My gameplan:

Defense:
1) Stop the running game
2) Continue the delayed blitz, force Favre out of the pocket. He can’t make plays on the run like he used to.
3) Cover the deep routes. Farve isn’t as accurate as he used to be, but he still can make you pay deep.

Offensively:
1) Chad must play well. If he has an off day, we are in trouble.
2) More consistency with the ground game–a 100 yard rushing game would be nice

Special Teams:
1) Nugent needs to build on last week’s success.
2) Everyone else must keep doing what they have been doing. It has been a good year so far for our ST unit.

I am still very bitter about our 1994 loss in early November @ Lambeau. That was the game where Rob Moore was mugged on a 4th down pass on the game tying drive attempt – I was in a bar in Tucson and was asked to leave after the noPI call.

Pack cannot stop run, so we need to play action a lot on early downs when they are committed to play the run.

I expect at least 1 bad call for doing something Favre after the call GB got hit with in Q4 Monday – we know it is coming, lets just hope it does not change complexion of game.

D-backs need to be aggressive when Favre throws his few jump balls a game. Do not give up the long ball, even if that means leaving stuff open underneath – Favre will eventually force some stuff down the field.

Question: YES, I am looking ahead. Is it better for us if Buff upsets SD so that they are more ripe for letdown. Or, is it better that they lose so they know their season is over?

this game, like last week, will be relatively easy. road wins are never easy, but this one will be as easy as they get. buffalo at home – that game’s going to be scary.

i check Green Bays weather for sunday… high of 53…so the sun goes down about 4:30pm this time of the year plus Wisconsin in central time so its 3:30pm in Green bay at gametime and 3:00pm is known to be the warmest part of the day so in my analysis:

Gametime Temp: 49-52 degrees ….sorry doctor K No snow this weekend in Green Bay

And no im not a meteorologist just a fan of the weather channel

One game at a time. This one could be ugly, but if we get the win, who cares?

Bold prediction Andrew, and certainly in all of our collective minds as well, but looking at it just on paper, I think we win a close game. Field position will be huge this Sunday. Can we take advantage of the Packers’ terrible record at home? Will it snow?
