Beating Aaron Rodgers is a little different than beating ragarm Brees

Game is a toss up. GB has the home cooking and TB has the GOAT.

the amount of preseason moolah bet on tampa and the goat is huge from what I remember reading. Super cold in greenbay will definitely favor the home team

You conveniently left out the fact that the 85 Patriots, not 84, defeated Dan Marino and the 2007 Giants defeated Brett Favre.

It seem more recent the last two teams that won 3 straight road games had something in common, a excellent Dline that had an excellent pass rush. Tampa has a great Dline at stopping the run, but not a top tier pass rush unit. Just something to stew on.

No. I showing what sticks out that they won In other words what would you likely have to do
Two teams beat QBs that without a doubt they had a better QB So, no real surprise And that the reason the other two teams won was complete rushing(Pats) dominance and dominance in control of the game for the other

In other words you can beat a team if you have a much better QB or you have to pull off complete dominance in some form if you do not

If anyone can do it, Brady can. For someone who has 6 rings it amazes me how many doubters there are and has always been. When the games on the line, that’s when Brady plays his best. My money's on the goat.

Brady had great teams in front of him and a great coach - but he still is in the top 3 of all time - I would put Peyton Manning on par or 1 imho -but I can see many putting Tom number 1 as well - so far as a toss up gb - tb Brady did not look good at all and he had lost much since day 5 years ago- GB would definitely be the choice in this game n at Lambeau gee they rarely lose there- that’s worth 3+ against most teams- you just watch how many money lines plays are in em.

Father Time is UNDEFEATED...I'll put money on Him vs Brady

I do think there is a path to victory here. But I really doubt it
They need to rush for a minimum 150 yards.....control the clock and probably win the tirnover battle
It is what the Pats and Giants did
Packers against the rush have been had at times during the season
But this will not be the Brady passing show if they want to win

Tampa is playing 3 games in a row but its not like they are playing in a sold out superdome or Lambeau so you gotta factor that in as well

True...but Brady and gang needed Noodle Arm Brees and inept Coach and TOs to beat Saints. None of that is present this weekend for Bucs. Tough sledding for Bucs!! 7500 strong at Lambeau!!

He is undefeated... but while he came for Brees, rivers, and Big Ben this year Brady snuck out the back door and is still eluding him.... Father Time gonna catch him eventually, but not this year. No one giving the Bucs a shot, a mistake if you ask me

Not all teams are created equal. Usually teams don't win three straight road games in the playoffs because they're simply the less talented team, it's not rocket science. If you have a tough road to haul, it's because that's what you earned with your play on the field.

the Bucs are better than your typical wildcard team. Doesn't mean they'll win, but it does mean they're probability of winning is greater than your average wildcard team

no conspiracy nuts post here?

super bowl in Tampa means the NFL will fix it so they don't get in.

And Packers have a good secondary but can be beat like a drum on the ground. The Bucs will run the football with Jones or Fournette. So there's that
