Both teams are playing better than when we met in the beginning of the season. On the face of it, if we're both better, Hawks have the advantage. But after Saturday's game I have concerns.
Concerns:
Pass Rush: If we give Rodger's the amount of time we gave Cam, even a gimpy Rodger's will have some success. What I don't know is how GB's OL compares to Carolina's.
Run Defense: The Panthers were pretty successful running the ball. I expect Lacy to have a good game.
Receivers: Not really sure how much importance to put on Richardson being out. He's a rookie, but has been a pretty important piece over the last 6 or 7 games.
Not Concerned:
Russell Wilson: Smartest, most creative QB in the league. He's going to have a good game.
Marshawn Lynch: Can't believe the Packer's will have success containing the Beast. He's going to have a good game.
Jermaine and Baldwin: I have always thought these guys were under rated. Comes with playing on a run first offense. Oh well, I'll take a couple of rings over stats any day. They are going to have a good game.
Defense: As far as I saw we didn't have any serious injuries on Defense, other than my thought on the pass rush, they will bring it as they have all season. They're going to have a good game.
I really think this game will come down to harassing Rodgers. If we get pressure there's no way a gimpy QB is going to be able to make big plays. I look forward to seeing him on his back al afternoon.
Go Hawks.
