It’s playoff time, but who can afford to go?  There are 4 games this weekend, and two of them were almost blacked out in the home TV markets.  Arizona and Minnesota had to get extensions to sell all their tickets.  Arizona eventually sold out, Minnesota is still trying.  Hmm, how could these games not sell out?  The Cardinals haven’t hosted a playoff game since way before I was born.  The Vikings aren’t exactly seeing the post season on a regular basis either.  Could it be that tickets are selling for $600 a seat and up?

Just trying to get a tally going to see what might be out there.

The Lions, Jets and Browns all fired their head coaches.  The Raiders are looking to interview Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.  The Rams have not made an announcement about their coach, but I’m guessing they’ll start popping up in interview news in the next few days.

Wade Phillips is safe, not sure why…

So far Crennel/Savage are out.  Dallas might have a shakeup, same with the Jets.  Things don’t look for Herm in KC with a new boss coming in.  Rod Marinelli is bound to be gone after going 0-16 and having a new GM coming.  Haslett in St Louis may be a goner after not really doing much to improve the team.  I’m guessing the Cable guy will be out in Oakland.  Jack Del Rio may be out after his team quit on him.

That would put us at 3 coaches fired during the season and possibly 8 after the season.  11 head coaches on the streets in one year?  Looks really bad for Oakland and St Louis who may fire two coaches each in one year.

The Packers have seen all they need to see from their new starting quarterback.  And going into the weekend, they decided to pull the trigger and make a deal that will keep Rodgers in Green Bay for the better part of his career.  Rodgers signed the deal Friday morning that makes him among the highest paid quarterbacks in the league.  The new contract will put Rodger’s yearly salary above all quarterbacks but Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Matt Ryan and Tony Romo.  Romo’s deal beats Rodgers’ by about $5m total.

According to NFL.com, the deal is worth $65 million over 6 years and comes with $20 million in guarantees.  The good part about the deal is the Packers got Aaron sigend in time to count the deal against the ‘08 cap (they had just a hair under $20 million to spare).

The deal is of course getting some criticism from fans and the media, mostly due to the struggles of Ryan Grant after getting his big payday.  While there is some merit to the failures of Grant this season, one can only wonder what his performance would be like had he attended training camp and if he didn’t regularly have offensive linemen thrown into him in the backfield.  In the end, you can’t compare this to Grant’s deal.  I think Grant was somewhat of a desperation move after the Packers thought of the possibility of not only being without one of their best offensive players of ‘07 in the post-Favre era, but also the idea of having Brandon Jackson fumbling his way through the starting job is not very appealing.

Congrats to Rodgers and the Packers.  So far, at least in some sense, you could say Rodgers has earned it by being a good teammate, being patient while Favre was doing his thing and performing well when given the chance.  Now it’s time for Rodgers to start paying the Packers back with some wins.

The Titans do two things really well; they run the ball and play lights out defense.  That seems like trouble for the Packers as the offense is somewhat limited and they absolutely cannot stop the run.

So what can the Packers do to go after the Titans?  Here’s some thoughts:

On Offense: The Titans play the ever popular cover 2 defense.  The biggest challenge when facing their defense is fighting off the defensive line.  The linemen have a single gap assignment and can really get up field fast.  Whatever openings are left by the linemen, the linebackers quickly fill up.  Because of this, running against the Titans is not easy.  However, because they are so agressive going upfield, they can miss on some delays and draws.  That’s assuming, of course, that Haynesworth doesn’t meet the running back at the handoff.  While they aren’t an overly fast line, they can be suseptible to some of the same attacks used on fast linemen.  You’ll see teams running against Tennesee being patient and looking for a defensive lineman to push far into the backfield and use the space they occupied as a running lane.  That’s a risky proposition, but can work if you have a quick and decisive back (which Grant has not been this year).  Regardless, this isn’t a team that is going to sit back and watch what you’re doing.  They are very aggressive and if you’re going to run, you have to try and take advantage of that.

Through the air, if you can get a pass off there is hope.  As with other cover 2 teams, there are holes deep over the middle and behind the corners by the sideline.  There’s no exception with the Titans.  They will also play man coverage, which would hopefully favor the Packers as they face it all week in practice.  The biggest problem for the Packers will be protecting Rodgers from the inside pass rush, as the Titans can really push people around in the middle.  Watching them play the Colts, the only time Manning was able to get any sort of advantage was on play action (or by simply throwing on running downs).  The Titans’ linebackers look very aggressive to stop the run.  On numerous plays (including the first Dallas Clark TD), the linebackers, all of them, froze or took a good couple steps toward the line to play the run.  Once they recovered and realized the play was a pass, enough time had gone by that Manning had open receivers over the middle behind the linebackers.  I’m not sure the Packers can do the same, especially without a great receiving weapon at tight end, but they will need to try.

On Defense:
The Packers really need to figure out how to stop the run.  Tennessee has a very good offensive line and Green Bay will not beat them rushing four linemen.  They’ll need to stack the box, maybe take after Indy and play four linebackers.  That tactic could work, as the Titans wide receivers are definitely overmatched by Green Bay’s secondary.  The tight end spot for the Titans is going to be key.  Both tight ends (Cumpler and Scaife) can get downfield and they both catch a lot of passes.  Green Bay will probably have to play Chillar on one guy and bring Collins up to cover another.  Any of the other linebackers will likely get abused in the passing game.  It’s definitely a good time to get some healthly defensive linemen back, as the Titans will abuse Green Bay at the line of scrimmage.  This could easily be another game like the one against Dallas, where at the line the Packers just looked undersized and overmatched.

Today, we’re going to get a battle of two teams we just don’t know what to make of.  The Colts have struggled out of the gate, thanks to a bad run defense, patchwork offensive line and an injured Peyton Manning.  Last week, the Colts blew out the regular pretenders in the Baltimore Ravens and everyone is convinced they are ready to take over the AFC.  I’m not so sure, but I still think they could win today.

The one good thing the Packers could have going for them today is their run defense may get a rest.  Joseph Addai is out and the Colts will probably have to be careful with Rhodes as they can’t risk another running back injury.  The Packers also have one of the better pass defenses in the league (not necessarily due to their terrible run defense).  They are 2nd best in the league in allowing only a 52.1% completion rate.  They are also 7th in the league with only allowing 178.8 passing yards per game.  I’m not willing to put that completely on the run defense either, as the Packers have allowed the 12th most pass attempts in the league.  The only thing working against these stats is that the Packers haven’t faced much in the way of passing offenses.  Obviously the Cowboys are top notch, but the Vikings, Lions, Bucs, Falcons and Seahawks don’t have much to offer in the passing attack.  They will definitely be tested today, especially the #2 and 3 corners who will have to take on Harrison or Wayne (whoever Woodson isn’t covering) and Anthony Gonzalez.

This could be a great week to get Ryan Grant going, as the Colts have a terrible run defense themselves.  However, if the Colts put up early points (I could see them throwing 10 on us in the blink of an eye), it could force Aaron Rodgers to take over the bulk of the offense.  That could be bad, as Rodgers hasn’t shown he can handle times when the team has to pass.  If the Packers can score first or at least stop the Colts from getting early touchdowns, this could be a competitive game.  I’m still not sold on the Colts being an elite team after beating the Ravens, barely getting by the Vikings and being handed the miracle win over the Texans.  I think the Colts are more beatable this year than they have been in the last 5 seasons.  Hopefully the Packers will come in believing that.
