Hope we can keep them recievers covered tight when rogers starts bombing passes.That dude has a big arm but if we can break through that line quick enough old rogers is gonna be eating grass all day

This worked last time

1 vs 6 eh?

YOLO give em everything you got!!!

Exactly how I feel! I didn't think we'd make it this far, much less dominate the Seahawks. I wouldn't know what to do if this team beat the Packers on Saturday.

 

[RamWoodie]

PRAY FOR THE HEALTH OF GOFF and Wolford!!!!

The one (big) thing the Pack have going for them that you didn't account for in your post is the scheme. Its basically the most talented qb to ever play playing in the McVay/Shanahan outside zone/play action scheme. Man, just look at the Aaron Rodgers highlights from this year. 48 TD's and only 5 ints.

They are, however, without the services of LT David Backtieri.

This game will test the eye discipline of our defense. If they play disciplined football then we have a legitimate chance to win.

The good news is that McVay and Staley know this scheme very well.

I pick Sean Peyton and nawlins fans over beating Brady again. Its always nice to make butthole face and the aints go home.

I'd rather play NO too. Both games will be tough, but NO doesn't have as many weapons.

Woohoo, another Saturday game!!

Glad it’s not a night game at least.

That's what I preferred! Weather expected to be about 26F according to the 10 day forecast. It'll be even better if it's the mid 30s.

That's t-shirt weather in the sub-Arctic.

Green bay is going to so sell out on stopping the run. We will need defense and throws to be made. Mcvay needs to make the right call and dress Bortles as well. But if the rams could beat Rodgers that would be special. The defense can shutdown almost anyone but what makes Rodgers special is he can take any scrubs and tear you apart. So our coverage and pressure will have to be spot on.

Little ace in the hole for me would be if Henderson would come back. Anybody know what his status is?

To those of you that remember watching our playoff run of the 1989 season.
Something about this season's playoffs feels similar to me. I just get the feeling.



(1989 we were a wild card team, playing ALL playoff games on the road, and toughing it out until 2nd half of championship game)

 

[FrantikRam]

Packers defense ranked out better than I thought. Preliminary thought is that were sort of playing with house money but unless Goff's thumb is somehow 100% by Saturday doesn't seem possible

 

[JRobinson]

I actually prefer this matchup to TB. Why? First, GB has a problem stopping the run which plays into our QB situation nicely. If our offensive line can play physical at the point of attack, I feel like we will move the ball and eat up clock. There’s not much you can say about this defense being the best in the league. However, make no mistake, Rodgers is as lethal as anyone behind center. He can beat you in various ways, but I expect GB to try and run the ball.

At any rate, this is the matchup I wanted.

Reduce the Rogers impact by executing time of possesion, ball control offense. I Expect the Rams to practice practice practice the run game all week.

 

[TexasRam]

If Donald is healthy we can shut down Green Bay and shock the world.

The Packers have an incredible QB and Oline but they haven't faced a defense like ours which makes it interesting.

If our offense plays a sharp game we can definitely win.

Punch them in the mouth early and force turnovers. Ride Akers to the win.

So with 6 days to go, its going to be see your breath cold weather in Green Bay Wisconsin.

(projected) Sat January 16 | Day

25° High around 25F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.


Can the Rams win in this type of cold weather with their ailing injuries, bumps and bruises to key players?

According to the lips of Morgan Freeman.....





"We Can"!

I am glad we get GB now and not later...our Defense on a good day can absolutely shut anyone in the league down and it sometimes is detrimental for teams that were on a roll like GB to have such a long break. We have some momentum after a big win in Seattle.

Missing your 105.5 million dollar starting left tackle is not really a good thing if you are Aaron Rodgers:

This is especially the case if you're about to play against Aaron Donald and the best defense in the NFL in the playoffs.

However, Green Bay fans can take solace in realizing that the Packers still have great depth at the inactive quarterback position:

Remember Jordan Love? He’s Already Played His Final Non-Existent Snap for the Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers rookie quarterback Jordan Love didn't play a single snap during the 2020 regular season. Green Bay needs to trade Love next spring.

Rams fans may also appreciate that Green Bay did not instead waste its first round pick on another offensive player, for instance Chase Claypool or Jonathan Taylor. When you have Aaron Rodgers, why bother to give him any weapons?

Great job drafting Green Bay!!!
