I like our chances a whole lot better with him back on the field along with Quay and now Cooper.

Final DVOA rankings for the playoff field

GB comes in at # 4 overall
Philly comes in at # 2 overall, in large part due to their outstanding defensive rank

$%@# the naysayers.

Packers cruise in this one. Final score is closer than the actual game play.

Packers - 33
Eagles - 24

Put that in your boo-hoo-this-team-makes-too-many-mistakes pipe and smoke it.

Wonder how it would go over if a different poster decided to open with a sentence like "$%@# all these homers and their toxic positivity." Seems there always is a need to "expose" the "other side," and, more often than not, it isn't initiated by us "bad guys." As evidenced by this post.

I was speaking to the media and national punditry.

But if you feel it applies, by all means...

Yeah, no you weren't. Taken in the context of our conversations over the past couple of days, it's obvious that this was directed at fellow posters, including me. Especially considering that last line of your post.

APB, we can read your mind now.

there are always both sides to this, some point out negatives, others positives, I admit to being overly negative at times, mostly do, to not enough positives to garner more focus, the negatives over whelm the positives, at least when we play against the best talent.

anyway were getting some players back, Williams and WAlker should help with interior coverage, we need to stop beating ourselves, were our own worst enemy, but still like our chances, and win or lose, still grateful we got to play another game, if the switch ever gets flipped for our passing attack this team will a hard win for any opponent , keep the faith

Hoping TJ Slaton will be good to go. Anybody know his injury ?

I always feel like stopping the run is a big key to playoff success.

Here's a couple of league rankings in that arena

Hey, I'd appreciate it if you didn't edit my posts moving forward. Thanks so much!

[MY_TAKE]

Packers pull it out late with Love trusting Doubs and Heath in the clutch. Heath wins my "Here's Johnny" pick and becomes a huge playoff story with the Eagles game being the 1st of 4 games he is a major factor.

Bill Huber with an article on Edgerrin Cooper and his improvements since Game 1 in Brazil

“By far. A long, long, long way,” he said of his growth. “Just watching the film from me earlier this year, it’s like, ‘Ugh,’ what I was doing?’”

Now, it’s more like what can’t he do?

According to Pro Football Focus, 55 off-the-ball linebackers have played at least 40 pass-rushing snaps. Cooper ranks second in PFF’s pass-rushing productivity, which measures sacks, hits and hurries per pass-rushing snap.

Meanwhile, 72 off-the-ball linebackers have played at least 185 run-defending snaps, which is Cooper’s number. Cooper ranks 2nd in PFF’s run-stop percentage, which is defined as a solo tackle that results in a “stop” for the defense. A “stop” matches Green Bay’s win/loss grading system. A tackle on first-and-10 that limits the play to 3 yards, a tackle on second down that allows less than half the required yardage and a tackle on third or fourth down that prevents a first down is a “stop” or a “win.”
Cooper’s average tackle on a running play has limited the gain to 2.5 yards, the 9th-best mark at his position.
