Patriots @ Packers - Super bowl 48 1/2? (1 Viewer)

The Packers need this game badly. They are a top team at home but only average on the road. They have the talent to make a Super Bowl run, but they need to be at home to make it happen.

I don't think the Packers are THAT good, as in they are calling this game Super Bowl 48.5. Please don't try to tell me what I mean when I write a post. They aren't the NFC version of the Patriots. Assuming there is no major injuries to the Patriots I would be very surprised if they weren't in the Super Bowl. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers losing early.

The Lions are a good team, I never said they weren't, but their offense has been bad this year, I believe they are in the bottom third in scoring and they put 35 on the Bears.

The win against Philly was impressive. Most playoff teams have those wins.

I guess Cleveland is good too at 7 - 4, to quote yourself. "Do you even watch football?" The Steelers don't pass the eyeball test.
Who is the best team in the NFC?
I think you can make a case for 4 or 5 teams. They are one of them, but they haven't distanced themselves from the pack. If I has to bet on it right now, I would take the Seahawks, but this year in the NFC it seems like certain teams matchup better against others. I think the way Seattle and Dallas run the ball and control the clock would give Green Bay fits. Just like Green Bay seems match up well with against Philly.
How can they be one of the best teams out of 16 in the NFC if they are "not that good?"
This isn't difficult.The packers are one of the top 6 teams. They aren't much better than Arizona, Detroit, Seattle, San Francisco, or Philly.

Meanwhile New England is pretty clearly the top team in the AFC. You could argue that Denver is close but the 43-21 score serves as evidence to the contrary.
The Packers are not much better than SF or Philly? :lmao: I have a game that says the Packers are not just somewhat better but much much better then Philly. Amazing at some of the comments I see about football on a site that is supposed to be full of people who know football. Especially after watching the game Thursday night to say the Packers are not much better than SF. I am amazed. Not what I expected.
Yeah I didn't get that either. I'm not saying that the Packers are much better than the Eagles but by the example FUBAR used with the Pats/Broncos, it seems like a contradiction to then say that the Eagles and Packers are close.
Thats my point, a lot of people contradicting themselves. Packers are not a good team but they are a top team. :shrug:
You're not reading. Nobody here is saying "Packers are not a good team". What those of us who aren't putting them worlds ahead of the top 4-6 other teams in the NFL are saying is they aren't THAT much better than those teams.

Green Bay's offense is one of the top in the game but their defense is average at best. Admittedly, Philly suffers from the same problem and their QB is a lot worse.

San Fran and Philly might be a reach to include in the conversation right now, but it wouldn't surprise me if either beat Green Bay in the playoffs.
Clearly you are not reading. Read more, type less.

MSU stated not that good. I assume he meant that in context of this thread, calling this game a super bowl level of game. If he truly meant they aren't good, then yeah, he's nuts.

 
Packers are not that good on Defense. NE is probably the best all around team, but no guarantees. It may be theist likily matchup, but still about 8 to 1.

No you just want to argue or fail at reading comprehension Or both. If you said tomorrow I think Calvin Johnson is the best receiver in the history of the NFL and I said I don't think he is that good. I am not saying he is bad, I just disagree that he is THAT good.

 
The Packers need this game badly. They are a top team at home but only average on the road. They have the talent to make a Super Bowl run, but they need to be at home to make it happen.
yea, they really don't. The MIN game last week was way more important in terms of winning the division and/or securing a top seed.

This game is somewhat irrelevant in the long-term. Both can withstand a loss and still get a #1 seed and/or win their division. The loss doesn't count in any tie-breakers because it's out of conference. And teams are genereally quite a bit different two months later if they were to play again, so I really think this is just a casual-fan/power-ranking game. I might be the only Packer fan putting almost no concern into the outcome of the game, win or lose. But I think that's the right perspective. I would much rather lose this and sweep the December schedule rather than peaking now.

 
I have a game that says the Packers are not just somewhat better but much much better then Philly.
what?
Just a few weeks ago, the Packers beat the Eagles 53-20. :shrug:
The Rams beat the Broncos, the Raiders beat the Chiefs, and the Jets beat the Steelers, all very recently. Crazy #### happens in the NFL . The Packers and Eagles are both 3-loss teams, so I don't think it's unreasonable to think they are about equally good. The Packers, to me, are like the Broncos of the NFC: dominant as hell at home, but not nearly as good on the road.

Yeah I basically posted the same point that you just made earlier in the thread. I was basically using this as an example of how FUBAR was contradicting himself. I even said that I didn't believe the Packers were that much better than the Eagles.

Fair enough, though there is something extra to be said for winning away.

Absolutely. For me, the eyeball test tells me that NE and GB are the top 2 teams. I think with how well Rodgers is playing, the gap between NE and GB is smaller than people may think. I guess we will find out on Sunday. :popcorn:

 
Too much hype for this one. I get that it's Brady vs Rodgers, and two of the best teams in the league...but the Pats crushed the Broncos last month and they were a much better team a month ago then the Packers are now. Granted it was in Foxboro, but Denver has a much better defense than GB, and it still didn't stop the Pats from steamrolling them.

 
Packers are not that good on Defense. NE is probably the best all around team, but no guarantees. It may be theist likily matchup, but still about 8 to 1.
Its nice to say that but the Packers defense is really making strides in the right direction each week. They just need to stay healthy and I believe they have what it takes to make the Super Bowl run. This game is important in the sense that its by far the hardest game left on the schedule and if they can win here they can afford a slip-up still in one other game this season like @Buffalo.

well lets call it off then, Devoured has called the season I guess the Pack have no hopes in the world....

By the way did you see 2 of the last 3 games Rodgers was sitting the 4th quarter? I would say the Packers are just fine on offense especially at home.

IMO, the biggest part of this game is seeing how green bay holds up to the pressure and a top offense and proven top qb. If they manage to win, they become the best team in the NFC (at that time, which could change quick in this league)

I never said GB didnt have a chance, just pointing out that the Pats have beaten a team with a better offense and defense. Anything can happen, but I just think the whole "Superbowl preview" hype is getting out of hand.

yup. Superbowl talk when Pats have had their hands full with AFC this year. Losing to Chiefs and Miami and barely beating Jets and Oakland.

A win is a win, amirite?? Doesn't matter if it was 40-38 or 17-14. Who cares if they "barely" beat the Jets and Raiders. The Chiefs lost to the Raiders, and incase you haven't been watching..this is a completely different Pats team from those 4 games. You're a Broncos homer though, so I know you're just scrambling for any excuses at this point. Kinda funny considering the Broncos lost to the Rams..lol :)

Plus I love how you conveniently left out the fact that the Pats just manhandled the best defense in the league..

Don't think anyone arugued that the September/October Pats were a threat to win AFC, did they?

 
First, I'm not a Pats fan nor Broncos fan. I just always find it amusing that there's always the case to build around why the Pats are the best...and reasons why they lost yada yada can be isolated just to them and the other teams are just playing in a vacuum.

 
The reality is this game is fairly meaningless. Either teams could lose and have it not affect their seeding, or both lose and still get 1st overall. November football is different than January football as well. I don't think this game has any bearing on the end of season results. The Viks win was more important to the Packers because of division record.

This is a game for the casual fan and for the power rankings, nothing more.

I will not be super thrilled or super down regardless of what happens, as a Packer fan. It's all about the Lions week 17, and getting there within a game of them so we can the division with a win.

This game is the definition of an entertainment game. Same as week 1. That Seahawks game was good theater for the casual fan but will have virtually no bearing on end of season results.
Every game is more important than the last. Seeing how the teams match up against each other is also very important for possible future meetings.
I disagree. Giants got pounded late in the year by 40 the year the Pats were undefeated. Then the Giants beat them in the Super Bowl. This game is an irrelevant measuring stick two months later.
What the ....?

Your not a Pats fan, really?

Thanks for clearing that up, your last 2 posts were pretty ambiguous and u kind of left us hanging when you replied to the following:

Packers Patriots will fold in the playoffs again. All it takes is a team to slap them early, and the Packers Patriots will back down.

With: "Funny how that sounds about right too!"

And

"yup. Superbowl talk when Pats have had their hands full with AFC this year. Losing to Chiefs and Miami and barely beating Jets and Oakland."

This isn't difficult.

The packers are one of the top 6 teams. They aren't much better than Arizona, Detroit, Seattle, San Francisco, or Philly.

Meanwhile New England is pretty clearly the top team in the AFC. You could argue that Denver is close but the 43-21 score serves as evidence to the contrary.

Thats my point, a lot of people contradicting themselves. Packers are not a good team but they are a top team. :shrug:
I think FUBAR was spot on. :shrug:

The Packer Def i not that good. When facing a top flight Offense, they struggle.

I see NE 34-20 today. Been saying that all week. I hope I'm WAY wrong here, and I'll gladly eat crow if the Pack can win, but I don't think they do.

They have now answer for Gronk, and their Run D is suspect. I think Gronk could go for 150yds and 2 -3TDs today, and the Pats could throw up 150-200yds rushing

I might be wrong that the Packers are THAT good, but I was right that you would be THAT tool that showed up after the game was over if the Packers won thumping you Internet muscles.
Why you mad, you gained good information tonight? Not thumping muscles, not really interested in that. I tried to tell you, but you knew better. :shrug:

Its alright, now you know. So I'm pretty sure you now know it would not be wise to say they are not that good again, right?

 
GB won. There is no doubt in my mind Seattle will beat them down in the playoffs. I don't see a physical team. In fact, for the all the credit Belicheck gets for being a great coach, I have no clue why they didn't just run the ball down on GB the entire game with Blount. He should have had at least 10 carries in the first half.

 
New England is a formidable team. They did very well today in keeping the Packers out of the end zone. They, N.E., were also very efficient when their offense was in the Red Zone. Brady seemed uncharacteristically off on about 6 throws.

As for the Packers, Lacy needs to be a bit more decisive on getting up the field on his first good read, plant and go decisively. Also Nelson and Adams need to concentrate a bit more on their Red Zone opportunities.

Great Job Pack. They are that good and are currently the best team in the league.
Can they keep it up?

Green Bay did a great job getting pressure on Brady, made the Oline look like it was still September.

New England is a formidable team. They did very well today in keeping the Packers out of the end zone. They, N.E., were also very efficient when their offense was in the Red Zone. Brady seemed uncharacteristically off on about 6 throws.
Green Bay did a great job getting pressure on Brady, made the Oline look like it was still September.
Pack only sacked Brady once...and not till the end of the game. Brady missed on key passes at key times. But really, this game wasn't as close as the score. Credit to NE RZ defense.

You don't have to sack a QB to pressure him, are you implying that wasn't a thing that happened?

But they did put some pressure and hurries on him (and Clay got a hand on a ball early and a few close calls early too).

GB did well bringing pressure without bringing a lot of extra guys.

using "sacked" as a surrogate for pressure. But sure, I'd agree he had pressure w/o getting sacked. He still threw some ####ty passes regardless.

Those ####ty passes are a byproduct of pressure and hurrying to get the ball away.

I'm on your side Pack. Have to watch the tape again, but sure agreed, some were hurried some were just ####ty.
