    Honestly, I don't know anybody that thinks this. Plenty were upset at Metcalf - for both the immaturity AND suspension.

    It's not an issue of whether they're supposed to just win despite being down those guys, I think a lot were upset that the game plan seemed entirely focused on keeping Garret from getting the sack record. I posted in another thread where Rodgers had his fastest time-to-throw of the season last week. Significantly faster than their first game against Cleveland, which is notable given the fact that they blanked Garrett that day as well.

    This game is all about keeping Derek Henry under 80 yards imo. If we can do that, I think we have a chance.

    A lot of people have suggested this. Just read through all the .....they should have just coached them up better comments. Like You can just coach up your number 3 wrs to be your number 1 wrs, or your number 3 TE to be your number 1 TE. None of our TEs come close to blocking like Washington, and that isn't even bringing up what he does in the passing game, especially for a old QB like Rodgers.

    We still have to score. After losing Washington in the last game, what did we do on offense that makes You think it will be different this time. Our D played more than well enough to beat the Browns, while our Offense did nothing.

    Still got the #1 and #2 RBs, along with what should be the #2 TE. The QB needs to play to the level we've seen from him this season. Wait that extra quarter second and find the open guy.

    Our offense is scary. But the wrong kind of scary. It scares me and not the other team. I think that if we can contain Henry, it will keep the points low where we might have a chance via Boswell or the offense getting something. If Henry has another 4 td game though (or anything like that), we are cooked......imo

    If Henry has 4 TDs I agree we are likely not winning.

    We’re a 9-8 team, +-1win.
    But only in the afc north. Trade places with Arizona cards…. And have to play 13-3 Seahawks and 12-4 49ers. And rams……

    I remember almost winning a playoff game at SB Denver with Bell, AB and DeAngelo Williams out, plus Ben playing wounded. We were nearly there but first a Toussaint fumble. But we can’t score enough to beat the 3-12 Browns who only put up 10 points before the end of game FG gift?

    Between you and me, I believe that, if Baltimore loses, John is shown the door. Steve Bisciotti will likely pull that trigger and wouldn't hesitate to.

    The Steelers have shown flashes of brilliance just not consistency. I support the optimism.

    I will be enjoying the game, unless of course they give me a reason not to enjoy it lmao.
