this is a CRIPPLING blow to the Packers defense

Tough break for the Pack. The D was somewhat crippled before, this definately cripples them, as you said.

this season 3 guys were holding the packers together

Barnett, Collins, Woodson

Pickett, Hawk, and Harris have battled injuries

Kampman is triple blocked on passing downs

Bigby and Rouse both play well but cannot be on the field

like I said int he chat box it is time for the Packers D to get creative and I think the Shurmer BIG nickle is the answer

You think that would improve the run D?

if you thought Rodgers had a deer look into the headlights face before, wait till you see him constantly playing catup when the pack d gets behind in stopping opponents

the Big nickle worked in Arizona a little with much smaller safeties than Aaron Rouse

if basically would move Rouse (or Bigby) to the line of scrimmage and make the QB decide blitz or dropping in his pre snap read

if executed correctly it would allow more 5 to 6 yard runs but eliminate 30 and 40 yard runs

at least two coaches in Green Bay were on the team with Fitz Shurmer was in GB (Campen and Bennett) and both played against the Big nickle when Shurmer broke it out in Ariz

Jerry Hairston, Lionel Washington, and CEO Mark Murphey would have played against the Big Nickle too. Hell Murphey would have seen it twice a year in Washington

a funny thing happened to the Bears on their way to the division title

They got the SNOT KICKED OUT OF THEM in Green Bay by the Packers

now they are all knotted up at 5-5

Green Bay and Chicago are tied with 3 and 1 Division records

so that puts the Packers (by virtue of their defeat of Chicago) in 1st place in the NFC Norse

YEAH BABY!

Did I mention 37 to 3 margin of victory probably means GB holds the head to head tie breaker even if Chicago wins the second game

Green Bay still needs to handle up on their business the rest of the way to have a shot, but they are in the running for the Division again.

@ New Orleans
Carolina
Houston
@ Jacksonville
@ Chicago
Detroit

Figure they need to win a minimum of 4 of these which will NOT be easy.

The Bears are Who we Thought They Were!

So much for that great pass D. I know I've said it before, but alot of the reason they have given up few yds in that area is because of the success teams have running the ball on the Pack. Of course it was Brees, but that was a pathetic display by the Pack. They have a good pass D, but not great like someone here thinks.....

[cowboys_junkie]

That's the kind of game that makes you quit watching football for the rest of the season and focus on the draft.
