stranger things have happened before , but, unless they get the eagles at home in the nfc championship game , i just don't see it - i can't see them winning 3 games on the road all vs teams with winning records - can you see them winning 3 road games to get to the superbowl with this D? i just don't see it scott
I think the Philly-Dallas game is a win-win for the Packers. With a Dallas win they get to play New Orleans instead of the team that has given them fits in Minnesota. With a Philly win they have to play Minnesota but at that point would have a very realistic chance of hosting the NFC Championship if they could get by the Vikings. If they have to play at both New Orleans and at Minnesota it will be really tough but I do see plenty of scenarios where that wouldn't happen and even the possibility of finishing up at home against the Eagles.

scott just stick to the question i asked , hoping for the eagles to win 2 games would be a bonus for rd 3 , but it's highly unlikely as they seem to have no answer to the dallas d

do you think this team can win 3 playoff road games , the most likely scenario , and get to the super bowl? I say no

The packers offense I believe is more suited to play in warm weather or a dome than at lambeau in Jan. If the wind is blowing 20-30 mph and it is near zero it will be hard to throw the ball down field. Whoever gets hot in the playoffs will represent the NFC. It is really wide open...

Yes, but if they have to go to both Minnesota and New Orleans it will be very tough. Games at Arizona and at Dallas are nothing to be scared of.

ok we shall see

everyone keeps writing off the cardinals , that's fine , keep in mind that this will be rodgers 1st start in the playoffs and the building when sold out is not an easy place to win , i love how everyone has the packers going here , going there , we shall see on sunday where they go

in reality GB will have to do something that has never been done i believe - they will have to win 4 straight games away from home (last week's game + 3 in the playoffs)

if they get to the nfc game , that 4th week in a row on the road will be a tough tall order and will probably make them a good (assuming philly loses) bet against

Marty, you are right so far. The Packers D looks like swiss cheese. Can't get to Warner, can't cover and can't tackle.
