Packers/Cardinals game notes...

i usually talk about the upcoming game every week,but this week has been strange... both the Packers and Cardinals are very good,and simply if both teams play up to their potentials,it will be a great game... the Packers have been an enigma all season... they have been up and down on offense,and the defense has been very good most of the season,allowing very few points in their games,but the offense has been spotty all season... the numbers for Aaron Rodgers are the worst of his career,but most of the slippage in the numbers are due to two factors:1)youth in the passing corps,and 2)major injuries to the offensive line,and to the receiving corps... every pundit has said at one time or another that maybe they have figured out Aaron Rodgers... BULL!!! when you have injuries to key people,i do not care if you have SUPERMAN under center,you are going to struggle with a team that may have won six in a row,lost their division(the NFC North),to the Minnesota Vikings,but even in the midst of that opening six game winning streak,i honestly noticed that they were just a little off on team offense,and even though the defense was,at the time,leading the NFL,in scoring defense(about 17 points allowed/game),they would have trouble if injuries to key people piled up,and BINGO,they did... so,they face a very,very good and favored Cardinals' team,today... they can win if they do not turn over the football,force the Cardinals into mistakes,get an early lead,and play Packers' football...
