Huh?

I didn't write it...that's a Packer media publication.

Great, there goes the next 6 hours of my life.

Way too much info, but I want to read it all.

quote:

Rodgers is the only quarterback in league history to
register 120-plus passer ratings in each of his first three playoff starts,
according to the Elias Sports Bureau. No other NFL quarterback has
posted a 120-plus rating in each of his first two postseason starts.
Rodgers’ career postseason passer rating of 129.4 ranks No. 1 in NFL

quote:

Green Bay’s six losses this season came by a combined 20 points, a 3.33
margin of defeat that ranked No. 1 in the NFL.

The Packers never lost a game by more than four points this season, but
even more impressive, they never trailed by more than seven points at
any point in a game this season.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Green Bay became the first
team since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to never trail by more
than seven points in a game at any point in a season, with the 1969
Minnesota Vikings the last to do so

quote:

If the Packers don’t commit a turnover, they’re almost guaranteed to
win. They have now won 44 of 48 games (.917) playing turnover-free
football since a loss at Dallas, Nov. 18, 1996. Green Bay’s only losses
in such games during that stretch came three times against Minnesota,
twice in Minneapolis (2005, ’08) and once at home (2009), and in Week
15 last year at Pittsburgh.

Green Bay is 20-3 (.870) in the regular season under Head Coach Mike
McCarthy when it doesn’t commit a turnover.

Including playoffs, the Packers have won 47 of their last 51 games when
they don’t turn the ball over.

quote:

During McCarthy’s tenure, the Packers have a 36-6 (.857) regularseason
record when they come out ahead in the game in turnover ratio,
and a 6-20 (.231) record when they lose the takeaway battle. Under
McCarthy, Green Bay is 20-3 (.870) when its turnover margin is plus-2
or better.

quote:

Since Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren began the revitalization of the
franchise in 1992, Green Bay owns the best home record in the NFL. A
look at the top regular-season home W-L records since the ’92 season:

Team W-L record Pct.

Green Bay 114-38-0 .750
Pittsburgh 109-42-1 .720
Denver 106-46-0 .697
Minnesota 104-48-0 .684
New England 104-48-0 .684
Baltimore (since ’96) 80-39-1 .671

So in other words....

DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER!!

and score some points.

You won't see this on the stat sheet and is significant for the game: Cutler throws a slightly slower ball with a higher arch giving defensive backs more time (.5 - 1 second) to react. This may not effect short passes and crossing routes. Thus, we may see a shorter offensive Bear strategy for the game and consequently a lower scoring game by keeping the Packer offense off the field. Lower scoring (remember the field conditions are "slow") means the team who builds a ten point lead at any stage will probably win the game.

There are many pre-game championship determinators - usually the surest are: (1) defense; (2) and team with the better quarterback. The game will be close and probably determined by as little as one critical play.
