If GB plays up to their potential, it could be a win. After all my tirades a couple weeks back, I've been forced to eat some crow. The Pack have turned it up big time. Especially on defense. I believe the D is ranked #1 in the league right now. Rodgers better be looking for some quick passes or it'll be rough for him, but both him and the line are playing better and SMARTER which is encouraging! GO PACK!! Hopefully I can eat some Raven next week instead! wink

who did the ravens beat this year?

To answer your question I would say Denver, Pitt, and SD are wins against teams in the top half. Ask the same question about your Pack and you get Dallas only. That said, I will pick the Pack as they are playing better and will be at home.

Fishyguy is right. If the Packers are going to make a serious run at the playoffs (right the ship), they need to get some quality wins. Dallas was a quality win no matter how the Cowboys did afterward. They were a hot team coming into that game. Beating the Ravens will be a good sign, losing will make the Cowboys win look like a fluke.

I won't predict the game tonight since both teams have good defenses and streaky offenses. Ray Rice should be the burst for Baltimore and Green Bay's throwing game should be their burst. Of course, I'm rooting for the Pack!

The Ravens are going to KILL the Packers. First off.....the Packers are not going to be able to run the ball, so that means Mr Rodgers is going to be dropping back and throwing a billion times. Ravens have a way better pass defense than the Vikings and the Vikings killed him. If he isn't picking himself up off the turf from a sack, he will be watching the Ravens get an interception, or the best would be if he was doing both! Pack is playing good ball, but who have they been playing against? Detroit (twice), Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Dallas, San Fran and Minnesota. Well the Vikings beat the tar out of them, they got lucky against Dallas, and the rest of the teams are doormats........any teams stats would look good after that little run. Packers suck and tonight everyone will see them for how truly bad they actually are.

Ugly is right. I'll take an ugly 8-4 with a chance at the wildcard over a pretty 6-6 and a failed season any day. It's the record that defines pretty vs ugly, not the way it was compiled.

Man, sure makes that stupid loss to Tampa Bay a bigger deal. Imagine if the Pack was 9-3 right now with the Queens at 10-2.

Oh wait, that sounded like typical Vikings fan logic! gringrin

It was a great win. I don't care how you want to slice it, when you look at the schedule in the beginning of the season, you circle the MNF and national spotlight games against perennially good teams. Those are must-wins. The Packers goofed up two chances against the Vikings but at least have now put another quality win under their belts.

Penalties have been a problem this year, but like so many things, it's merely something to work on if they want to be elite. Not there yet, but looking good.

Standouts from last night:

1. Clay Matthews - what a great statement game for a rookie. He was already having a pretty good season and then had a two sack performance where he was making plays all over the field.

2. Jermichael Finley - made big catches when they were needed, including two great TD grabs. He got hit in the side of the knee, limped off the field, but came back to catch another TD. That's tough material.

3. BJ Raji - starting to show why he was such a high draft pick. He had one or two tackles for a loss and was disruptive in the running game.

Except for in the secondary, our young players are really showing a lot of promise. The secondary players are holding their own but the lack of Al Harris is showing. We shouldn't have to grab and hold this much against a team like the Ravens. Imagine what Manning or Brees could do (and what Favre did)!
