How Important is the Packers Game?

[Ostatehawk]

The Packers are generating pressure on only 30.4 percent of opponent drop backs this season, the fourth lowest mark in the NFL, per Next Gen Stats


Seahawks have five players with 30 or more pressures this season, per Pro Football Focus. The Packers have one (Rashan Gary). Leonard Williams, who leads the team in sacks and quarterback hits, is the best of the bunch, but Dre'Mont Jones, Boye Mafe, Derick Hall and former Packer Jarran Reed can all affect the game as pass-rushers. And first-round pick Byron Murphy had a four-pressure game last week. The Packers offensive line produced a highly disappointing effort last Thursday night against a backup version of the Detroit Lions front. Can they bounce back this week against a deep group of rushers?

And they missed that Uchenna is back!

I am getting fired up for this game!

Was reading somewhere how when hou look at some of the Pack's stats on bith sides of the ball, they really arent stellar and their opponent strength in the games they have won is marginal at best.

I think we throttle them, honestly.

I'm not sure where the records currently stand, but teams losing the game after playing Detroit was a thing earlier in the year. Hopefully that holds

I also think that if we beat GB, Minn, and split with the Rams, we are right in the Superbowl mix.

At that point, we will have taken down 2 of the top 4 teams in the conference and will have taken the top team to the wire. I dont fear Hurts in Philly at all.

Sunday night is huge.

What I can't get over about that game is during the Mike Macdonald show the day after, he was asked if the Giants had done anything that we did not expect and Macdonald straight up said, I won't answer that. To this day, I am not sure why he wouldn't answer. There is pretty much two trains of thought, they did what we expected, but the players took them lightly or our coaches practiced completely against what the Giants ended up doing. Either way, it is a major problem. The good thing is it seems to be fixed.

I was saying to myself last week that if we can win out I like our chances in the playoffs but there are a ton of caveats for me.

LeFleur said today that Jaire will not be playing.

FYI - The Packers are 1-4 vs teams with a winning record this season.

2-4, they beat the Texans and Rams. Seahawks are 1-3 in those games.

And these are 2 of the best teams in football. I may he a Homer, but I highly doubt we win both of the next 2.

Umm, remember who is our head coach?
