Running is not the way to succeed in Goodellball.

Let Henry get his 150 at the rate of 3.5 per carry. If our offense doesn't have 3 turnovers, we're good.

If the Packers can find a way to win Sunday, and the Rams beat Seattle, we have the #1 spot sewn up.
What a great after Christmas present to us that would be!😄

Between Jones and Dillon, we're right on par with Henry.

Unfortunately, it’s our RUN DEFENSE that has to deal with Henry.
Hopefully there will be some snow to slow him down.
I could see him running wild for 250 yards against our “slap him as he runs by us” defense.

What I'm saying is, we can do what they are doing, plus other stuff.

However we have Keke making some improvements now AND we have Barnes and Martin at ILB. Let's come out of dime and use our base defense. I think that will help a lot. It's an improvement over what we've had in the LaFluer era.

I understood what you meant!
And you are right. We have the horses to score points.
If we have a second half like last game though, we will be in big trouble.
We will need a complete game from offense, defense and special teams in order to win.

It is interesting that at crunch time Keke seems to be in the game, regardless of who the starters are.

"Dillon only has 24 carries this year but has turned them into 115 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per run. He took his only rushing attempt for 18 yards last week against the Carolina Panthers."

If he was up to speed in pass pro, he might start.

I would also add Vernon Scott to the list. From a limited sample size and my amateur eyes, he seems to have good ball awareness and is a willing tackler

From the Tweeter: Snow is in the forecast for tonight’s #Titans-#Packers game at Lambeau Field. Wind 10 to 20 MPH, with gusts as high as 25 MPH. ❄️❄️❄️

Basically, we're going to find out if the Packers learned from the Vikings game. Because this is basically a carbon copy, minus the snow of course.
