I don't like to take any team for granted, but the Packers should be able to allow some of their key injured players to get
a rest and still win this one.

I think the Vikings provided a good blueprint on how to beat these guys.
Get a lot of pressure on Rivers and the DBs play up to their talent.


My one concern Antonio Gates and getting exploited over the middle.
If we can keep Gates in check I think we should find ourselves at 6-0 going into the bye.

This may be another "pick party". Don't blitz this guy, because like Aaron he can pick you apart.

Defense is better than the offense! Just like the Packers last two Super Bowl winning years!!!

CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!


QBs win games; Defenses win championships!

Their weak point seems to be the OL, you need to apply pressure (if you can do that without blitzing then GREAT!) but if you can't then blitz some.

I think the Steelers problem was they blitzed ALL DAY LONG!!! They weren't mixing it up, so the Chargers figure out it was coming and adjusted. I think if they mixed it up more the Steelers defense would of been even better.

I expect Capers to blitz some early on to try to set a tone, and then back off and see if they can apply pressure without blitzing and if so then let the front guys just go at it... with mixing some blitzing in from time to time but not doing a ton of it unless they're struggling without it.

The Chargers are a good passing team (7th), it's their one and only weapon (run = 24th) so our secondary will be tested for real for the first time in the season. It's specially intriguing to me if we can control the Rivers-Gates combination. You might argue we controlled Graham but Seattle is not using Graham in the same way San Diego uses Gates and the chemistry between Wilson and Graham is close to zero.

The charges have a porous defense, 19 vs the pass and 25 vs the rush. If our offense can't find rhythm at home against San Diego then I will be really worried.
I expect Lacy and Starks to work a lot against the Chargers, specially if we can take an early lead.

So it seems we should simple outscore them but careful! We shouldn't fall in our usual "get a lead and then sleep" operation. If we take a lead and force them to pass that's what they do better and they can get close if our defense turns soft.

IMO, the Packers should do well at home against the Chargers. Any concerns will come from their passing game. The Packers Secondary may be put to the test against this ensemble of "electric warriors" .

I agree with Luigis that Leads + Soft Defense's = Bad Football. Ok, bring in an extra CB to better cover extra wide receivers, don't simply give up 10 to 15 yds. chunks of turf. Playing not to loose is a poor way to play football



Packers - 38

Chargers - 24

Here’s an illustration of the SD OL using Packer players.

They break camp w/ Bulaga, Lang, Linsley, Sitton, Baktieri
Barclay, Rotheram, Gerhardt, Taylor, Walker


Rotheram and Taylor are cut and clear waivers [which Taylor would not] and signed to PS

Lang goes on IR; JD Walton is signed off street and Vujonivich who’d been though last 2 camps; but is on the street because no one signed him is signed.

At Monday night in Pittsburgh: Baktieri and Sitton are out; Bulaga and Linsley shift to guard so best 5 can play, left to right its: Walker, Bulaga, Gerhardt,
Linsley, Barclay.


Then during the game Barclay goes out and Walker is moved to LT, so it’s: Vujonivich, Bulaga, Gerhardt, Linsley, Walker.

Then during the game Linsley goes out and he’s replaced by JD Walton, so its Vujonivich, Bulaga, Gerhardt, Walton, Walker.


If we played them Monday night, we'd have 50 sacks!
