We'll start it with this beauty on Rodgers:

Raiders were horrible in Miami but they do have some talent. Hopefully Sitton, Hawk and Bishop are back. Woodson really got his bell rung, hard to say what his status will be.

Raiders have a good type of team to give us a game. They can really run the ball, so if our run D plays like yesterday, it will shorten the game and give us less possessions. Their DL can also really disrupt things, so Rodgers could be under pressure. Their secondary is pretty bad, so if Rodgers gets time he should be able to dominance. I don't think this will be a blowout though.

If McFadden is still out I don't see how they can beat us. They're kind of like a worse version of the Giants imo.

A win locks up the #2 seed and first round bye

If Ford and McFadden play, I hope Peprah is not covering either of them.

Peprah should just be the deep guy, and never let anyone go behind him.The speed of their WR's worry me, but Carson isn't Eli so hopefully some bad balls thrown that are picked off.

Run defense didn't play too well last game, hopefully at least Bishop will be back since he's the best rush stopping linebacker on the team.

2nd time I've seen Carson and Eli differentiated with the idea that Palmer is interception prone. You guys know about Eli Manning, right? The guy who threw 25 picks just last season?

ETA: ^^^ More dickish than I had intended. My bad.

Then the quarterback known for accuracy, in the same week he won a championship, hit a hole in one.

Brandon Jennings will be at Lambeau for this one.

He'll probably be cheering for the Raiders though, so we'll win handily.

I mean that in terms of Eli just being a much better QB than Carson, and having a great season. Yes Eli is prone to picks, but he had a good game and threw some great passes in the Pack game that I don't know Carson can.

3:07 Andrew Quarless significant injury and will have surgery, is out for season.

Sounds like Woodson is expected to play, going through the tests but thinks he'll play. See how Starks is doing on Wednesday.

Really feel awful about Quarless.

PANDEMONEUM · Post #18 » by **PANDEMONEUM** » Tue Dec 6, 2011 3:01 am

i have no problem letting woodson sit
or, giving him the week off
i think we'll b fine without him
even if wer without bishop, hawk and woodson

i feel that the raiders r just like the giants
big plays with the WRs r possible
and a good run game
still think we should win and will win
even with guys out

jimrome Jim Rome
Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy, Niners QB Alex Smith and Miami's Karlos Dansby tomorrow in The Jungle.

I have to imagine Mark Murphy is as bad of an interview as TT and MM.

Quarless is a tough dude and will be back strong, I'm willing to bet. I couldn't believe him getting helped off the field standing upright. Then he sat on the bench the rest of the game. If he can handle that, he can handle rehab.
