I kind of wish we were playing GB in a few weeks

The Packers are going to come out with their hair on fire, trying to prove that they can make the playoffs and aren't a one man team. They will tweak the offense a bit to benefit Hundley and put him in better spots, and the Saints won't have much in the way of film to go on.

In a few weeks reality will set in, teams will have film, and the Packers will crumble a bit.

I still think we win but I just think its better in a few weeks rather than game 1 of a new QB.

We get to play them without Aaron Rodgers, that should be all the help we need whether we were playing them this week or in another four weeks. If we can't beat Brett Hundley then we don't deserve nice things.

Defense is the key here. Even though they're without Rodgers, you're right, they will come out hype and will make some plays to give them the edge. Defense has to NOT do our old "everyone is all pro" routine and shut this guy down. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

They're pretty bad off so I'll take them now. Obviously no Rodgers. Pretty sure I also saw two of their o-lineman on an injured list. They have about zero run game so it'll be up to the backup to make plays.

GB has a lot of injuries on their OL and defense. If I were the Saints, I would rather play them now even if Hundley is an unknown.

Their 2 starting tackles went out last week with injuries that they re-aggravated and they also lost a guard that has filled in as a tackle in a previous game. So it would be a disappointment if Cam didn't have at least 2-3 sacks this game

Brett Hundley looks damn good when you watch him play. Actually moves around the pocket like Erin and has Erin Rodgers like arm strength.

It’s good and bad for us.

Good: No Aaron Rodgers who is one of the best QBs in the league.

Bad: We don’t know what to expect from Hundley.

I don’t want Rodgers to be hurt, but I’d rather our coaches do their job and adjust to what is called. It won’t be anything too drastic as Mike Mcarthy is a west coast guy and didn’t change things up much when Flynn was playing. I think we are in a better spot now than Hundley getting used to being the starter and more comfortable in the offense.

Not me. The further into the season, the colder and windier it is at their Stadium. I'll take a little chilly weather now over cold as a snowman's ballsack for them just to want to get out of there with a loss before their nuts freeze to their thighs. If we can't win this maybe we don't deserve to be in the playoffs. If we win it shows they understand how to take advantage of other teams weaknesses.

This is my greatest concern going into the weekend. How many no names have we seen come out and hang 300 yds on this D in the past?

I'm still not convinced the defense has turned the corner. I want to believe but I'm going to need to see some consistency. Come out and shut this guy down and that will give me some reason to believe.

When is the last time a new, unproven QB had a good game against The Saints?

I think the Hundley factor is being over examined here. Rodgers often got teams in deep coverage and took off and got first downs with his legs.

Rodgers could throw darts on the run. I don't expect Hundley to be able to do that at least not consistently.

We should play Hundley like we did Newton with a spy. He is going to feel pressure and his first instinct is going to be to run.

This isn't like going from Brady to Vick. Where it is totally different styles.

I understand his point on the film part but...

Pretty much. Another team getting pumped up b/c they have injuries isn't an excuse to lose. You take advantage of their injuries, embarrass them, & solidify yourself as NFC royalty.
