26CornerBlitz Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Bills vs. Packers preview By Mike Rodak and Rob Demovsky | ESPN.com The Green Bay Packers are winless in five trips to Buffalo, so naturally Aaron Rodgers wants to make history. "I'm surprised we've only played them five times up there," Rodgers said Wednesday. "It's going to be great to be a part of the first win in Buffalo, I guess." While the Packers (10-3) are cruising toward home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs, the underdog Buffalo Bills (7-6) are hanging on by a thread in the AFC playoff race, needing a win in their home finale Sunday to stay in the picture.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Kyle Orton has the attention of Packers' defense Back in 2011, when the Green Bay Packers were unbeatable – 13-0 unbeatable – they mowed down an impressive list of quarterbacks: Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Jay Cutler, Matthew Stafford, Eli Manning and Carson Palmer among them. Then came Kyle Orton. Actually, they beat him once, too. In Week 4 of that season, he quarterbacked the Denver Broncos in a 49-23 loss at Lambeau Field.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Bills-Packers is the NFL at its smallest Few know how similar the NFL life can be in Green Bay and Buffalo better than Packers quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt. Van Pelt, who joined McCarthy's coaching staff in 2012, played all nine of his NFL seasons in Buffalo, where he was mostly a backup from 1995 to 2003 but started 11 games.

The Packers are playing on a short week, so that could be a factor as well. Rodgers is great at moving away from pressure, but the Bills come from all angles.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 5 things to watch for during Bills - Packers By Joe Buscaglia It’s do or die time for the Buffalo Bills. After 13 games the Bills still have a slight chance to make the playoffs, but need all three remaining games to end in a victory. With all due respect to ties, they aren’t all that common, so, it all boils down to the Bills going 3-0 over the final three games. Among the trio of contests are the Green Bay Packers, who have won five in a row and have averaged 40.2 points per game amidst the stretch of consecutive victories. The Bills boast one of the best defenses in the NFL, but do they stand a chance against the offensive juggernauts that hail from a small town in Wisconsin? Some things to watch for during Sunday’s game: Can the Buffalo Bills Beat the Green Bay Packers? What Must Happen By Dan Hope It’s not a good week for the Buffalo Bills to desperately need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. While the Bills can be glad to return home, still owning a winning record and still sitting just one game back of a wild card spot, their final game in Orchard Park this year comes against the Green Bay Packers, who own the NFL’s longest active winning streak at five games. No team in the league has been playing better than Green Bay. The Packers have won nine of their last 10 games, a span in which they have outscored their opponents by 14.4 points per game on average. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been both the catalyst and backbone of the Packers’ success. Having thrown 35 touchdowns this year versus just three interceptions, while he leads the league with 8.78 passing yards per attempt, Rodgers has emerged as the clear-cut choice—barring a shocking collapse—to be the NFL MVP for this season. Rodgers and the Packers offense, which leads the league with 32.5 points per game, has looked nearly unstoppable, especially in recent weeks (they’ve averaged 40.2 points per game over the course of their active winning streak). If anyone is equipped to slow down Green Bay, however, it might be the Bills, especially with the advantage of playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The incomparable Aaron Rodgers: Packers QB on another level By Sal Maiorana As an inhabitant of the AFC East division, the Buffalo Bills have to deal with future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady twice a year, and as we all know, it certainly hasn't been a fruitful endeavor. Brady has been victorious in 23 of his 25 career starts and no opposing player in the Bills' 55-year history has ever haunted them quite like Gisele's husband. But if there's a silver lining to all the misery Brady has inflicted on the Bills, it's this: At least Buffalo doesn't play in the NFC North, where it would have to tussle twice annually with Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.

YoloinOhio Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 !@#$ ROGERS this. I know all about how good he and his team is. But it was still a douchey thing to say. Brady and Manning wouldn't say that, IMO. They would think it, but would only say how tough of a matchup it is, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Missing Searcy is a big problem.......I am not yet a believer in Duke Williams......we will find out today.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Missing Searcy is a big problem.......I am not yet a believer in Duke Williams......we will find out today. If I were Rodgers, I would go after Williams big time, see if he can play. I agree. He seems to take some bad angles too. Shame about Searcy-- he just started to hit his stride. I thought the Browns game was the best of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
