Next up: Packers

[Moderator 2]

Aaron Rodgers anyone?

[arnie_uk]

Whys this open when the game is still on?

[cursona pirate]

not fair I wanted to start it...:(

[radicals]

If we play like we did in the second half of the Dolphins game, we can win. Very happy with the win. Rodgers & the Packers better watch out. It will be a home game and we probably will have Jacoby Jones & Marlon Brown back! Very excited for this game next week.

[GrimCoconut]

Not worried. I like this match-up just like the Dolphins one. I think we can beat them. 

[Ravenseconbeast]

Most anticipated game of the year!

[Guest Moderator 6]

We're getting some starters back from injury for this one and the likes of Rice and Webb will be healthier.

[The Raven]

I am scared to death of this game. 

[PolishRifle]

We're giving up too many big plays right now. That and ARod is not a good combination.

[Gordo52]

I am scared to death of this game.

I second this. Our secondary might get torched

[BloodRaven]

Joe and the receivers need to be firing on all cylinders.

[Raving_Heathen]

If this were on the road, I'd have to pick this as a sure loss... but Flacco is a completely different beast at home (not that he played bad today by any stretch), so I think we have a great shot.

[baltravens]

Wow! Much better play on the road against an improved and resurgent Dolphins down here. OC Caldwell thank you, you finally called a great game this year. If McKinnie would have been able to hold off is defender from not deflecting the ball leading to an interception from Flacco, we would not have had to kick a game-winning field goal. Monroe, we will see you next week.

...Dickson getting confidence back, way to go.

[PolishRifle]

Joe and the receivers need to be firing on all cylinders.

 

They actually looked pretty good, whenever the Oline gave Joe atleast some time to throw and even sometimes when they didn't. Doss and Dickson are starting to restore my faith in them and Deonte is looking pretty sharp. I'm still hoping we get Jacoby and Marlon back, though.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Stay on the field and keep rodgers on bench. No 3&outs is key. We should be able to stay on field long as we stay balanced on run/pass.

[Token]

Doom & Suggs are going to have to be at the top of their game for this one.

[NaveSenrag]

Their O-line is as bad (if not worse) than Miami's. If the defense shows up, I think we can win it.

[Gordo52]

Hopefully we get Jacoby & Marlon back this game. Whatever the case is Torrey needs to get fed again like he did today.

Monroe should be ready, B-Mac played alright today though IMO. We're going to look different on offense next week. Hopefully better.

[herostyle]

very pleased with the win today! let's keep this momentum rollinggggg

[arnie_uk]

Shut down clay Matthews and not let huge plays and we win

[1/28/01]

We need to get to Rodgers a lot to have a chance. Flacco, the oline and the rest of the offense are not going to win this one. If we win, it'll be on the D.

[GrimCoconut]

I like this game because Monroe should be the LT, our WRs should be healthy (Brown, Jones), and the Packers don't have a great secondary. Their safeties are weak. They have some good CBs like Shields and Hayward but outside of them they're not great. Their ILBs are a bit weak as well. They have a good DL and Clay Matthews. Of course their WRs are good, and they have Aaron Rodgers. I just like this match-up for us. Especially at home. 

[Ravenseconbeast]

Packers hate facing athletic run teams. Look @ 9ers, seahawks vs. packs. We need to pound them!

[StingerNLG]

There is a whole lot that can happen for us next week that could be a catalyst for the rest of the season.

- Healthy Jacoby Jones and Marlon Brown, now combined with big confidence boosts for Tandon Doss and Deonte Thompson.

- Possibly an improvement in skill and confidence from Ed Dickson.

- Pearce healthy.

- Bryant McKinnie gone.


Next week will be interesting, and hopefully fun!

[hawkprey]

For all the love Rodgers gets, the Packers can be had because he makes scapegoats of his O-line. That's why he doesn't win as many games as you'd think he should. 

[Inqui]

Having Eugene play will be massive. Bryant McKinnie almost single-handedly got us in a position to lose to the Dolphins.

 

I just hope we stretch the field on offence. I really like what Joe can do, especially against that average secondary. Let's improve the run game by a little bit, and watch our receivers take care of the rest.

 

It's actually our defence I'm more worried about, but more because Rodgers is a gun QB and his receivers will make it tough. That said, I think they make enough plays for us to get the win.

[baltravens]

Didn't the trio of Torrey, Thompson, and Doss look very good today? There was some chemistry and fluidity among the three of them. Awesome Rice!

[JO_75]

Thank goodness Eugene Monroe will be starting at LT and keeping Clay Matthews in check. 

[GrimCoconut]

Did you say Rice was awesome? Rice looked weak out there. He had two TDs, but that's not indicative of his success at all.

Yes sir, did you watch the game today? Rice ran well when he had to. Fellow, we had a running game!!!!
