Three keys to winning are (1) constant pressure on Rodgers (2) ball security (limit turnovers and create some) (3) run AD down their throats

I would love to see 6+ sacks between allen, robison, and griffen.

Webb is taking extra snaps because Ponder has a bruised elbow.

Rumors are flying Ponder might not start. This is not good news.

Not too worry about Webb playing, but Ponder sees this one through. Now if we could just get some snow to make it up Green Bay way......

Griffen will need to step up big again. And the secondary will have to limit the big plays. Keep everything in front of them. Ponder is going to have to duplicate his play over the last 4. Hand AD the ball and see if they want to tackle early. and late. Im ready for this to get started. I knocked off work early to get ready and watch some of the Bengals/Texans game. My palms are sweating allready.

As much as I think we have a better chance of winning if ponder plays the whole game, I think Webb playing part of the game would really confuse the defense and possibly win us the game.

Webb has been taking extra reps in practice this past week, so he's not completely unprepared.

I know Ponder has a legit injury, but I think Frazier is messing with the Packers minds'. If in fact Webb did start, it throw of the Packers defensive plan, which could be a positive.
Some athletes play better in huge games with an injury. It prevents them from over thinking.
Ponder will play.
