This one could be a lot different than last week's game. Green Bay is a lot like us. I mean if you look at the yardage passing/rushing stats, and QB stats we are very nearly equals. They run the WCO a lot like we do. They very rarely throw downfield, which means that QB pressure is only going to happen on 3rd and longs.
I think at first we will try to blitz up the middle. Against the young guards, but will find really quickly that the slants and quick tosses are getting us beat for 1st downs. Our safeties will have to be on-point. If Hill plays good in coverage that will be BIG for us.
I think our main advantage is going to be coaching. Our first two possessions will be what keeps us in the game. The "Big Show" will have a good offensive game plan, and I have a feeling that #37 will put up a good game (remember last year against Chicago (and a tough run D) he went 120 with 2 TDs). I think that #8 is going to be so focused in this game that he will be as good as we have seen him.
I just don't think we are going to be able to get the pressure to Favre that we need to, and winning this one is going to be on the offense, which is scary. It could be really bad, unless we can get a lead early, any lead will make it a game.
I will make my prediction later this week.
