Brass tacks. Very good defense and Eli needs to be able to beat the Packers depleted CBs. I think this is the toughest game they'll play in playoffs. Some serious physicality may be in order to help control quick twitch guys like Beckham.

Can they pressure Eli? He missed more than a few receivers yesterday when he was rushed. Our safeties will be busy all day, but holding the Giants in check will be in the hands of our linebackers managing the middle of the field.
I like our chances on offense. Need to score early.
I think this is the toughest team they could face. If they pull it out, I see them going all the way.
Falcons running game is not to be overlooked. They'll be tougher than the Gmen
Road to the SB could very well come down to stopping OBJ, Dez and Julio with the #4 and 5 CBs and an out of position Safety.
In the meeting earlier this year. The GB OL pushed the Giants DL around. Eddie had 80 yards on 11 carries. GB ran for 150 yards total. Rodgers wasn't sacked.
GB completely dominated that game. Both lines were really good. I'd love to have Eddie for this game. But Ty and Michael should find running room.
The offense is playing on a completely different level than they were for that earlier meeting. And the OL should feel pretty good going into this game.
Both teams are playing significantly better than the first time they played.
Definitely going to need LunchPail quite a bit for protection and up the gut. Hyde is slow but he isn't stupid. If Gunter can do some manhandling as that's his skillset it may be enough to keep Eli out of rhythm. I definitely agree S and ILB protection could be the key.
I guess I don't like the bettors putting the Pack at -6.5. It'll be interesting to see what the actual line will be come Sunday morning.
They're in the playoffs. Luck (not Andrew) is as big a factor as any. It's all house money from here.
Damon Harrison and Janoris Jenkins are the only Giants that scare me. They're a beatable team, just reduce the impact those two have and don't let OBJ get behind the D.
Thats pretty much the formula for all the teams in the playoff. Don't let Vic Beasley and Julio Jones run the game, don't let Dak Prescott or Elliot get in rhythm, don't let Jimmy Graham or Michael Bennett dominate, etc.
Saw an opening line of GB -4.5
might have to smack OBJ up a bit at the line and get him frazzled early and out of his game.....force him into a "1967 Bob Hayes" mode the rest of the game.

Somebody got it. Losers.
All gravy from here on. But I don't know that we can pull this one off. Their secondary is very good as is OBJ and Cruz can be clutch. The GB secondary is a MASH unit. I see this as a game that will be won in the trenches. If our DL can put a lot of heat on Eli and our OL can generate rush yards, the field tilts in our favor.
Great we have Joey Hair Plugs and IM DEFINITELY NOT GAY calling the game. Super enjoyable.
