2-1 on the road and already played our hardest home game

Sunday determines the rest of the season. Win and I think we can go on a roll. Lose and I think deflation hits, we lose at GB to go to 2-4 and we're all back in tank depression mode.

Imo, Detroit is the tougher game and GB is VERY beatable.

I mean they were at home and let Cincy take them into OT. GB isn't the team people think they are, and they haven't been in a long time.

Look at the division they are in and the teams they beat in the playoffs.

They are like we've been getting by with the QB, but they've had a few better spurts on defense. We are also in a much tougher division (last two NFC champs came from our division and we routinely finish with one of the best combined records as a division).

GB hasn't been scary or mystique GB in a long time. They've had decent teams, but if they were in any other division they wouldn't have near the success.

Even if they beat Seattle the Pats would have skull fricked them. They match up horribly with the Pats (for that year at least).

Really most of the NFC has been pretty weak the last few years. Seattle was the last truly dominant NFC team and that was only for about a year and 3/4ths.

Edit:
I think the most overlooked thing is looking at the QBs in each division. Look at our division and name me another division that has every QB in the division in the top 16 (imo, but seems clear to me).

Now who has GB had to face each year. Stafford is maybe bordeline top 10 but outside of that Rodgers is FAR and away the best QB to play in that division in years.

It's like Brady in the East. He really hasn't had competition in forever.

I was talking about Brady and the other QBs in his division, not the whole AFC.

I mean they've had Favre one year, Pennington pre injury, and who else that would be top 10 since Brady took over?

NOBODY!!

Drew Bledsoe with the Bills a few years I think but that faded fast.

The Dolphins have suffered greatly since Marino retired and the Bills haven't been to the playoffs since 1999.

but I think the harder game coming up for the Saints maybe the Lions. They've had our number lately. Beaten us the last 3 times we've played.

The Lions aren't that far from being an undefeated team this year. Interesting tilt they have coming up against the Panthers this week I guess??

Need to get some of that homefield magic back.

last year there was a quality win over Seattle at home.

in 2015 it was ATL who had a 5-1 record coming in.

2014 we blasted Green Bay on Sunday Night Football at home.

so even in the three 7-9 consecutive finishes we found a way to get a quality home win but just getting one has been the trend lately.

Hopefully something new/better comes along this year.

The problem is our division is so tough. I was definitely wrong about the Saints and am thrilled to eat crow but the Bucs are beastly when healthy and Atlanta still looks like a top 3 team when healthy.

GB isn't that good

I would have phrased it more like GB isn't THAT good, instead of that good.

With Rodgers they'll always be good, but they aren't that scary dominant team they once were. They struggle to win games while playing in a weaker division.

When was the last time Chicago was good? When was the last time Minny was more than kind of good? Detroit has been up and down.
