We will win. But, we won't win it in the trenches. We aren't that team.

Keg, I disagree. We have to dominate up front to slow down the Eagle's rushing attack and make Hurts throw the ball. On offense, we need to dominate up front and run the ball like we have but also protect Love so we are balanced. I am hoping for play action, roll outs, and short quick passes from the Packers.
 
27-17 Eagles win. This defense is not mentally tough. They’re great while playing ahead. But they never seem to get the tough stop when it’s needed. I don’t think they can stop Barkley.

Offense will do okay, but Eagles will eat up a lot of clock on the ground and Love won’t get a lot of chances. Plus he won’t have the time to let longer passes develop.

GB will give it a helluva try but the playoffs have a way of exposing teams who were able to hide thier deficiencies during the season (see PIT)…

I think the Eagles win also but a closer game I am going 31-27 Eagles. I think Barkley will be to much for GB in the end.

Pitt was 23rd in Offense and 12th in Defense. Packers are 5th in Offense and 7th in Defense. That's a big difference.

I think it's more of the Packers playing a complete football game and not turning the ball over and not having penalties.

Margin of error is gonna be slim and they have to steal and extra possesion or 2 as well. I agree, they need to be hitting on all cylinders for this to be a win and it won't get any easier after this weekend.

I love you, but we haven't dominated any line. We're not doing it today.
