Football Game Of Week

The Green Bay Packers were favored by some prognosticators to be the class of the NFC. But injuries decimated a very talented team. If not for the steady play of Quarterback Aaron Rogers, the Packers would have missed this year’s playoffs.

Gradually, they got better and with the stout defense, lead by Clay Mathews and the Cornerback Extraordinaire, Charles Woodson, and sure-handed veteran wide outs on offense, Donald Driver and Greg Jennings anything can happen.
They will be facing the talented young Philadelphia Eagles. Who up until recently, looked virtually unstoppable. The speed of the young receivers, the emergence of Lesean Mccoy has been the one-two punch that most teams have no counter moves for. Then add the mutli-talented, Pro Bowl, MVP candidate, quarterback Mike Vick to the mix. What can they do?
What the Packers will try to do is keep pressuring Mike Vick, like the Vikings and Bears were able to do successfully. The Packers were able to beat the Eagles that earlier this season by limiting those big plays the Eagles are able to get with their speed. So they can go into Lincoln Financial Field knowing they can beat the Eagles.
The eagles will have to limit their turnovers and have to keep Mike Vick off the ground. Protection is the name of this game. If they can do that, the will give Vick the opportunity to do his thing. And that offense is explosive.
Now with that said, given the explosiveness of the eagles offense and the toughness of the Packers Defense, this game will come down to special teams this is where the Eagles are better than the Packers.
The kicking game of David Ackers and the punting game of the Aussie, Sav Rocca make the Eagles arguably the best in the NFL. Then like a cherry on top, the electric Mr. Desean Jackson’s return game, standing... waiting…intimidating… He can change a game in the blink of an eye!
