The king stands on top of the mountain, surveying all that he owns.
He sees a few teams climbing up the mountain looking to knock him off & stand alone.
To be continued....
I saw him at Chuck E Cheeses on Monday and he was walking without a limp. I did not challenge him to the football throwing contest however.
Knock wood, but healthy (save Collins) this team should kick butt.
Two wins at Lambeau and onto the indoor track at Indy.
Please God, don't screw this up!

As the article noted, I love the way Jennings brings his A game in the playoffs. Like analyzing how he good burn Palomalu in the Super Bowl and then just doing it...
Interesting how in the article Jennings talks about being able to beat press coverage off the line today.
Sounds like a team that thinks press coverage is the way to confuse the Packers is going to run into a team that's spent a couple weeks working on it.

press coverage is the reason GB throws toward the sidelines so frequently
It gives the WR and the QB the advantage of knowing they only have to beat one guy
and there is no safety help coming

And it's also one of the reasons that the elements and how effective the "running game" is (of which it is actually an extension of) doesn't really matter that much.
And where's the 30 page thread of teeth-knashing about the running game finishing 27th this year?
After all, 24th was the end of the world last year.

Saw an interview with jennings today. He said he could have played last week in the Lions game, but appreciated the extra time off.
MM has the pulse of this team. They are going to be ready to go when whomever comes to Lambeau in the 15th.
AR12 wants to wear his fave shoes again and he's two wins away from doing just that.

Blueprint? What ****ing blueprint?
... Compers and the D need to stop/slow the run and we'll be good, IMO.

Agree...and a little more pressure on the QB...
I'd settle for the extremely porous Packer defense to slow or stop anything at this point.
Watched America's Game - 2010 Packers season again last night. Jennings is great at the end of the video. Jumping around like a kid.

The Lion game was encouraging IMO:
1) The Lions couldn't or didn't run the ball with Pickett in there.
2) Claymaker would of put additional pressure on Stafford with Pickett in.
3) Woodson would of been in there to ... help sack QB or pick 6.
Bottom Line: Pickett and Guy opposite of CMIII(Hopefully #97) are the keys to the D stiffening up.
I wasn't quite as encouraged by the defensive performance as you were and Brad Jones is apparently getting his shot opposite Clay.
I'm afraid the defense is what it is and I'm not anticipating any real improvement this year. As long as they continue to play well in the red zone and force turnovers the team will be fine, providing the offense doesn't stumble.

This Packer defense has playmakers all over the field at every level. There is no doubt in my mind they can put together a great performance any given week. A defense that boasts the likes of Raji, Pickett, CMIII, Bishop, Woodson, Williams, Shields and Burnett can cause opposing offenses a lot of problems. The players and coaching staff is in place to get it done. We just need average performances from guys like Hawk and Peprah... and if we get anything out of the ROLB and guys like Neal or Green we are ahead of the game.
With all the playmakers on this defense I just can't see them folding like a cheap tent.
I think the Packer defense is vastly underrated. Guess we'll see next weekend if I'm right orwrong Rong.
