Our "DHI" is the reason why I think we'll handle Chicago this Sunday. Cutler and the Bears' offensive line are very prone to negative plays, even against bad teams.

Anything can happen once the playoffs start. The Packers would be one of my top 5 teams favored to win if they are able to make it.

Their defense is playing great and with Rodgers & Co. we can score on anyone.

Wow does that article get me pumped up. Those were the kinds of things I was reading in the pre-season when we were killing it. Hopefully our D stays healthy, our line holds up, and our penalty and special teams issues get taken care of.

Those guys have a good site. They are the ones who ranked Starr #1 QB of all time.

Even when the team was struggling, i thought if the OL problems could get fixed to a degree, they'd be trouble for anyone if we got into the playoffs for two simple reasons, Rodgers and the WR/TE core. Because of those guys, we can be explosive offensively against any defense so long as Rodgers is protected decently. Now that the defense is also playing well, no doubt that we'd have at least a solid chance against anyone even if we'd be an underdog in certain games.

Looks like the Steelers have started mailing it in for the year. Even with the extra rest I think we will win that game next week,

Penalty and special teams coverage issues are usually due to bad coaching and not holding players accountable. I don't think either of those problems are going to get fixed anytime soon if they haven't already. Holmgren back in the day sure as hell wouldn't have allowed the penalties to be this big of a problem for example. Hopefully the O and D is good enough to cover for those issues.
