lmao.. the man needs to be convinced by performance. Not forum post.

A lot of fans are apathetic due to the last 9 years.

FWIW, I think with the Texans front 4 we need to be mostly getting the ball out early. Do to them what teams have been doing to use to nullify our pass rush.

I do hope we can hit on some explosive pass plays. But I think it's more likely to be getting DK (or even Austin) the ball quickly in space so they can YAC.

Frustrate their pass rush by getting rid of the ball before they can get to AR.

play action over the top.

If we try quick pass plays they are jumping the routes. They already know Rodgers doesn’t want to get hit.

I'm sure there will be a lot of getting the ball out of Rodgers' hands quickly, but I think this is a game where Arthur Smith needs to move away from tendencies. This is a classic case of making several strategic moves at critical times of a game where they change up a route in a familiar formation and within a play that roasts the Texans' defense. I think Smith needs to go max protect on a few occasions to give Rodgers the time to take a deep shot when the matchup is there.

This is the classic game where they are playing a very good defense, and creativity and some new wrinkles can really take advantage of what the Texans' defense thinks they know is coming and aggressively move on that.

A good mix the running game and play action passing on first downs could help to put the offense in favorable positions and put the Texans on their heels.

Arthur Smith could have a huge role in giving this offense opportunities to hit some chunk plays. Aaron Rodgers also needs to identify when some of those opportunities arise to be able to take advantage of them. The Steelers established injecting Freiermuth and Calvin Austin into the mix. They get Metcalf back for this game. The Texans have a little more to worry about than they did a week ago.

I'm really interested to see how they attack the Texans defense tonight.

I agree that taking a few well-timed and well-schemed shots is good.

But defenses that get very good pressure without sending extra guys are dangerous.

It would also be really, really nice if we started fast in a playoff game for once. I don't think we want to get behind against this defense.

All I know Is better pull a rabbit out of his hat.And win a play-off game or he be unemployed with Harbaugh-Even if for only a minute--They are at home There is no reason to lose-Then we should beat Vrabel again and hope Bills have some magic left.And beat the broncos -Then AFC championship will be here - So get it done

Misunderstood me. I favor the Bills "slightly" in the AFC. But I would not be shocked if 'any team (well now it has narrowed,) came out of the AFC
