Heck yeah, just not last year's Eddie and not all by himself.
So you want no part of last years Eddie that averaged 6.4 yards per on 24 carries in two playoff games?

In the end, the best defense can be a good offense, and the teams that can convert 1st downs and sustain drives keeps the enemy's weapons on the sidelines.
That was the difference in the game against the Lions, absolutely...

I like the idea of Pennel as DB before Janis. 3 years with the Packers and an UDFA rookie (Geronimo) is getting reps before him.
Then again. Hard to find a guy in GB that's caused more incompletions than Janis.

I've seen a number of Giants fans claim GB has no Lacy therefore no running game. I'm gonna hope the nyg defense feels the same. One f the best things about the Lions game was Ripkowski playing so well. You add him and Geronimo to Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Cook, and Monty and it might be enough playmaking to combat their defense.
Time to exorcise the demons of 2 losses to the NYG at Lambeau in the playoffs.
I almost discount the 1 in Jan 2012. Nobody will ever admit it but we all know the loss of Philbins son played an enormous role in that game.
RODGERS will not be denied on Sunday.

Well, I would LOVE to see a Patriots-Packers Super Bowl!!! Th ratings would be huuuge!

Right on Boris! I agree 100%
In both those losses the O was held to 20 points, I don't see that happening this Sunday. We may lose, but we're scoring more than 20 points.
Score early, score often and don't let up. I like our chances in a shoot out.
Latest forecast:
Sunday is Game Day in Green Bay as the Packers take on the Giants. The high temperature will be near 10 with mostly sunny skies. Expect kickoff temperatures to be 9 degrees, but wind chills will make it feel like closer to zero or even a little below.
Classic Lambeau in January.
As long as it's sunny & not windy, the cold won't matter too much.
WC says high of 15 with 9 MPH wind. The last game that was forecast to be extremely cold (Seattle?), turned out to be warmer than predicted, I don't see the weather being a factor.
I think Jared Cook can/will be a huge (Yooooge?) x-factor in the game Sunday.

My other pick to click is Randall Cobb
I'm sticking with the man, Jordy, at Lambeau. But if not him, there will be one.
Given the size of the Giants LBs compared to the Lions, I think Rip will get fewer carries, but I could see Monty ripping off some long gainers that just set the table for some more Arod TD passes...

One of the best stories I recall hearing RE Weather and Lambeau was at the Ice Bowl, many of the Dallas Cowboy fans there showed up in suits (linen/silk) and fodera hats with their wives showing up in high heels, short skirts and maybe a fur collar at the top of their button down short jackets. It was -15 with WC's dipping as low as -26 to -30. Apparently the Cowboy fans made it about a quarter out in the stands before bailing the hell out of there.
If I'm not mistaken, the forecast for the Ice Bowl did not predict temps. anywhere as low as they actually became.

Please keep a hat on Damon Harrison. He can be a disrupter

He's the one guy on their defense that worries me. I remember Gilbert Brown smothering Steve Young in a playoff game at Lambeau and Young was never right the rest of the game. The o-line needs to keep #12 clean and the Packers win, it's that simple.
Spagnuolo had success blitzing DBs vs. Skins. I don't see AR being fooled as Cousins was.
I covered Packers-Giants in October and, if I were a Packers fan, what I saw that night would concern me. Aaron Rodgers had arguably his worst game of the season against a team coached by Ben McAdoo, a longtime Packers offensive assistant. Rodgers was intercepted twice and completed just 51%, his lowest in the last 24 games. At the time McAdoo was asked about his knowledge of Rodgers and said, "I'm not counting on that for much." It sure didn't look that way.
Think Rodgers has picked up his game just a bit since October, Bob.
I'm continuing to see a stream of East Coast bias about the Giants all week. Fine. Games are won on the field. Arod undoubtedly remembers those two home losses in the playoffs, even if he didn't play in the first.
As good as Montgomery and Ripper have been, thier inexperience at pass pro is the area that the creative Spagnuolo could exploit. As opposed to the creative "cross dog A gap blitzes" that Capers uses - and the league figured out in 1998.
Pretty sure MM and Aaron will be preaching about pass pro all week. #prettyplease

Giants must have won that game by a lot.
I have more optimism now that dump-off passes are back in style.
Positive up-tick on the injury front.
Since I failed two of my four sons educating them on which was the greatest team in the NFL they became fans of the Giants & the other the Falcons. I state this cuz I had to sit & watch many,too many, Giants games. The one thing that is most apparent to me is this; Keep pressure on Eli,hit him,knock him down & he will start throwing wild,inaccurate passes (PICKS).
Did you change your will, MCPACKER64 ?

When our guys gain 7-8 yards on 1st down, our offense runs on a completely different level. Conversely, when we gain only 2-3 yards on 1st down, the offense tends to struggle more.
I agree Monty could be the perfect 'set-up' for 2nd-and short situations. And that's when ARod is most dangerous.
I have been disappointed with our pass rush. Some of that is due to other teams beating it with quick throws, screens, delays and the cushion we give their receivers in zone coverage. Also we have Clay, Perry and Elliot playing hurt or not at all. We try to blitz and it gets picked up. Instead we need our front d-line to get constant pressure with the occasional LB or D-back blitzing. We need a big day from the big men, with others doing their jobs well. Push the pocket where Eli lives. I have seen too many blitzes not get home and a big play happens against us. I agree that pressure on Eli is a key. But that's easier said than done with the weapons we currently have.
I am ok winning a shootout too.

Eli is almost the only guy left from those teams so that doesn't have much of an effect. The talking heads I saw today, after praising the NYG D and Manning's performance in the playoffs, all picked GB. Not that that matters either.
I feel better.....love it when my team gets some props.
Spread is going up, so bettors like Green Bay too.

Well, our local native American poster did mention Janis' extraordinary commitment to this team.
