Actually no it's not New England, I'd lean towards Arizona. 9-1 top three rush defense. Unlike Green Bay who has the 31st ranked run d and middle of the road pass d.

if Arizona (who I even picked two weeks ago) played Green Bay next Sunday, who wins?

I'll assume it's played on a neutral field. Tough to pick against the packers since they have the best qb in the league. Just think Arizona could pound the ball on the packers d. Not saying packers aren't playing really well, I just don't get excited about a team blowing people out at home. New England slaughtered Chicago and Denver at home in consecutive weeks, does that mean they're the best, no. There's a group of about 5-7 teams that can win the whole thing.

Given Arizona has a two game lead and a great chance of never leaving home, even for the Super Bowl, Green Bay at Arizona. Who wins? Pick a team.

Might have a two game lead but their remaining schedule is brutal. Only game Green Bay has to worry about is New England in two weeks. Should finish at 12-4.

I disagree. They just aren't explosive enough to go toe to toe with Rodgers aerial attack. New England is the only tough game I see for the Packers. Maybe at Buffalo, but I think Buffalo might come back down to earth by Week 15. Arizona still has both games against Seattle, a confident Atlanta team, at San Fran and hosting KC. Will be intersting to see who gets homefield throughout.

The Patriots will more than likely curb stomp the Packers. Green Bay the best team? Hardly. The Pats have slaughtered the Broncos and the Colts. Who has GB beaten? Philly? The Bears? The Pats are the best team by far right now.

Game is at Lambeau so Packers will probably win. Patriots do match up rather well with the packers though.

No, they aren't. Its close at the top right now between three teams. Patriots will likely lose at GB.

I love AZ, but they don't have the pass rush to stop Rodgers. Packers are the worst team for them to play. Cardinals couldn't build a lead big enough to keep Rodgers from scoring late when he has 4 downs to work with.

Seems like some people in this thread like Drew Stanton WAY more than they should.

Honestly, I don't think they fall off that much. I was really impressed with Stanton. If you protect Palmer, he will sit back and pick apart the D, no question, but if you can't protect him you are screwed. Stanton can make plays when the pocket breaks down, and he's been a really good game manager. He will never make his offense as lethal as Palmer, but in some ways he makes them better.

Stanton is the opposite of a game manager. All he does is take deep shots.

Yup. That's all he does.

I've watched every snap he's taken. I know what his tendencies are. I don't understand why you think taking deep shots and being a game-manager are mutually exclusive. Deep shots is actually conservative play-calling for them, IMO. They have tall WRs and burners and they get 1-on-1 coverage 'cause Ds key on Ellington when Stanton is in. If Stanton gets picked, it's like a punt.

Game managers are typically guys who don't throw deep, don't turn it over, and have a strong run game to rely on. Like I said, Stanton is the opposite of all of these things.

Good game managers complete more than 55% of their passes too

That rationale ("Let's throw deep; he's more likely to get picked, but the payoff is bigger too") is absolutely not conservative.

Unless you think your QB is likely to get picked on shorter passes too, which means you don't think he's a very good game manager.
