Do just what we did last time except field the onside kick.

My .02 …and I seldom offer advice to professional coaches, but just for fun.
1) More passing than running; Jacobs near the goaline; Willis with a rpo in short yardage situation.
2) LVN in a DT position and side by side w/huge-body Ford.
3) Agree with Jersey Al, i.e., Oliver and/or Sorrell in obvious passing situations. Protecting the edge and scrambling.
4) Start Diggs over Valentine.
5) Limited WR screens and/or perimeter runs.
Go Packers!!!…we’re gonna win!!

-Convert in the red zone.
-Run consistently on that D, but not always on early downs
-Use Watson on deep crossers
-Have a spy on Williams.
-Go heavy inside: don’t let them push the DL back
-More Sorrell and Cox: actually pressure.
-Discipline. No taunting, face masks or other silliness: laugh last
-Swarm to the ball like your life depends on it: in football terms, it does.

Do what you're supposed to do, and not what you've been doing.

Not to worry, i heard Rashan is back from his 2 month vacation.

Game wrecker.

Man.....this is the best time of the year, i love the playoffs.

The regular season is now over.

It's like....wth happened?
Seems like it just started.

Time fly's way too fast for me during football season

Hmmm, all I got is this:

1) Ooh, slip out the back, Jack [Jacobs]
2) Make a new plan, Stan [Coach LaF]
3) You don't need to be coy, Roy [Nixon]
4) You just listen to me [Love]
5) Hop on the bus, Gus [Gary]

I'm sorry but this is not potentially the oldest rivalry, it is the oldest rivalry. Inexcusable.
GPG!

Put a 5 man front with 3 hog DL out there on 1-2 down. Game plan Golden to run all (LIONS) St. Browns crossers AND THROW TO HIM JL.
Run heavy packages with an xtra OL and 2-TE's and 2-RB's and do it no huddle the entire first series. GPG

When they have the chance to get Caleb Williams to the ground they must FINISH. The Packers missed far too many potential negative plays. Guys who run around the pocket can lose big yards or turn the ball over. Unfortunately for the defense they can also create big plays and big holes.

I'd like to see LVN at left DE most of the time in this game. Gary is terrible at changing direction, and we need someone who CAN, to be in Williams' way. In fact, I might spell LVN with Collin Oliver for the same reason. Normally you'd use a speed rusher like Oliver at RDE, but I think Williams is a unique challenge.

Taking the narrow road to start this one.

My gut tells me, early in the game, a cue to the Packers' prospects will be the run game. Can they run the ball for first downs AND keep the bares from doing so with their 3rd ranked running attack? That will discomboulate Williams and the bares.

If Jacobs and the OL return to the mean....if Hafley and his coaches have success slowing the RBs and Williams...I like the Packers for the win.

Making Williams uncomfortable and force him to pass on 3rd and long...will lead to more 3 and outs and turnovers. Conversely, If Love can lean on the run game to move the ball, look out when the bares load the box and Love feasts on efficient, unexpected, explosive passes.

Many no doubt believe, including the bares, the opposite will happen.

We'll see. The run game will tell the tale.

There seems to be a tendency to force the run as a matter of principle, as a way of establishing physical superiority.
That can be a good thing, but it can also be an exercise in futility if it gets too stubborn. If the defense is crowding the middle, it seems appropriate to go around or over the top.
Relevant to this, it's hard to know how much to base play calling on the strengths and weakness of their defense versus the strengths and weaknesses of our offense.
It's also hard to know how much to stick with the original game plan versus making adjustments during the game.

Well, this is where coaching comes in, as well as decisions by our quarterback at the line of scrimmage (as is obvious, but I think worth stating explicitly). I'm rooting for LaFleur and Love to come through.
My two cents for our offense:
(1) Use the pass to set up the run. Do both, but pass more. To a large extent, use the pass like the run by throwing to short and medium routes all across the field, from sideline to sideline (which is, I think, the principle of the West Coast Offense). Move the chains and run the clock. Take a deep shot here and there to keep the defense honest, and hope for a couple of quick scores. We don't want to be so concerned about time-of-possession that we're reluctant to hit home runs. Get the lead, but then stay aggressive with our defense.
(2) Try to avoid turnovers, but not to the point of being too cautious. As perspective, a punt is like a turnover in the sense of giving up possession of the football. If there is a turnover or two (and I don't like to think that way, but it happens), don't get discouraged. It seems Josh Allen overcomes his turnovers all the time. A bigger concern of mine is stupid penalties, especially by jumping before the snap, which can disrupt and discourage an offense, and kill drives.
Well, two cents are about all I have to offer. Since there is no longer a minting of pennies, I'll throw in a nickel, and allow other fans to use the other three cents.

Receive the opening kick and score. Play with the lead. Don't keep the foot off their throats. Take the crowd out of it
