Yeah I have to think he is worth 3 points, he has to know how to fool Stafford at least.2002 Gruden Bowl comes to mind. Payton's Saints shut us down hard in 2006. In 99 Holmgren's Seahawks held the Packers to 7 points. So the potential is there.
Edit* Reid's Chiefs shut down the Eagles last year as well.
We've done really well at stumping QBs of late. Adding Linehan's experience to Marinelli's gameplan should at least give us some early opportunities to jump out ahead. Which has sort of been our thing this month. I suspect we'll be watching a big lead start to dwindle in the second half, and hopefully ride it out to win.Yeah I have to think he is worth 3 points, he has to know how to fool Stafford at least.
That's a really bad visual.Let's just not cover Megatron with Carr one on one, m'kay?
I respect Rodgers, but it is like everyone can't remember he is injured...the cold up there is not going to help that calf either.I think Linehan is at least a 7 point edge on the Lions. He knows that offense inside out.
I'm more concerned about the Packers. With no pass rush to speak of, Rodgers will pick the Cowboys apart. Plus that cold might neutralize our passing offense. Its just not a good matchup.
If they somehow get past the Packers, I like our chances in Seattle.
I agree, but I'd feel much better if we had a strong pass rush.I respect Rodgers, but it is like everyone can't remember he is injured...the cold up there is not going to help that calf either.
It might help a little, but I don't think we even need it. It's a charmed year. Suh and Warford are out and everything is going right for us this year. We're going to stomp a mudhole in the Lions this weekend.
