Whiz: "We won't show anything today; we'll save our gameplan for next week"

[sportznutt]

Very nice to hear the color commentator say that on Fox after he had his conversation with Whiz earlier in the week.

The question is......was Green Bay doing the same thing to us? If so, we're in more trouble than we think.

I doubt they were, but you never know.

The two worst football terms for a Card fan are "vanilla offense" and prevent defense." Man, I hate it when we play that way. It's very hard to turn things off one week and go full bore the following week.

 

[az1965]

Schemes are one thing but the other aspect is players making plays which is completely missing today and we are completely dominated in all aspects

 

[LVG]

I doubt they were, but you never know.

Given the comment by the GB Coach, which was something along the lines of:

We can run our normal game plan and still have a full game's worth of plays for next week.

probably not. But then again, only GB knows.

 

[conraddobler]

Green Bay played two preseason games against us and won.

They looked so good we can hardly be expected to show up let alone win, having said that, we do still have to play the game unless Whiz just can't take the humiliation and simply forfeits.

For the good of the team he might just do that...[/sarcasm]

 

[Doc Cardinal]

Well hell....let's just forfeit next weeks game since everyone knows already that the Peckers will win.

Can you say sandbagging....I knew you could.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

Why is everybody loosing it? The cards didnt really play any starters except for the first 3 and out and didnt show anything on defense...Whiz knew he would scrap the game. Next week will be completely different, CC will play, Boldin will play, DRC will play and Cards win by 10

Funny how you predict how everyone will play. CC is listed as the worst injury of the three by Urban, SNF just said that Boldin is worrying and will be a game-time decision, while DRC's injury luckily isn't that serious. Why shouldn't anyone be worried? Campbell being out would be a serious blow; we don't have another DE that is starter quality, and little depth. Iwebema and Branch for the whole game? And we've seen how bad Boldin can look on a bad wheel, if he can even go.

I don't care about the game. In fact, it should give the Cheesebrains false bravado that we can take advantage of. The injury impact may be serious, though. Enough of a possibility to cause concern.

According to the Packers website, GB was pretty much going full bore. FWIW.

If they weren't we are in serious trouble next week.

Stout you are the voice of reason. I'm very concerned also.

 

[NYCARDS]

Its playoff football against a team that went 11-5 in the regular season. We better be concerned regardless of today's game.

Ok I'm very, very concerned

Sounds exactly like last year.

 

[Buckybird]

Sounds exactly like last year.

This isn't last year & this team was perfectly healthy last year. While our record, running game & defense might be better, I see our passing game not as scary and the Oline more vunerable. We will see come next week.

 

[az1965]

The only difference is last year we were rather unknown and sputtered into the playoffs... this year teams are better prepared for our weapons.

But like they say, that's why games are played

 

[DieHardCardFan]

Seriously? I feel pretty damn good going into next week. Whis will have this team ready to play period. And if they donw, well they dont deserve to advance. But I expect a great game and a cards victory.

 

[az1965]

I would like all the media gurus pick Packers based on today's game!

 

[ajcardfan]

Early returns show it's going to be 50/50 or so. The Pack will probably build up some momentum among the talking heads as the week wears on though.

 

[sportznutt]

I don't know how I feel.

 

[Assface]

One of the commentators said that Whiz had a full game plan ready in case the vikings lost but when their win made our game meaningless he put it aside until next week. So, we went in to this without the gameplan that had been practiced all week.

Wiz stated the 2 gameplans in his news conferance afterwards

Yup. I bet the 2nd "gameplan" was to wing it.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

I guess I'm easily pleased, but after what we have been through with this team for YEARS.. I'm pretty damn happy we made it back to the playoffs.
