Another Week, Another Test OnThe Road To Super Bowl LV

 When you get to this point in the season, every NFL foe is one that deserves respect.

For the Green Bay Packers, who earned the right to host the NFC Championship game at Lambeau Field with a 13-3 regular season, a tough game is expected.

Tampa Bay's Buccaneers, led by quarterback Tom Brady, benefited from four turnovers by the New Orleans Saints, turning three into 21 points in the 30-20 win.

After dispatching a tough defensive team (LA Rams), the high-scoring Packers will again need to bring their "A Game" on both sides of the line to get to Super Bowl LV.

In order to butcher the GOAT (Brady, though to be honest I might call him the GOTE -- Greatest Of This Era...it's just impossible to compare quarterbacks from different generations. Saying Brady is better than Joe Montana (four-for-four in Super Bowls) or Bart Starr (five NFL titles in seven years) just isn't far to any of them.

But let's get back to butchering the GOAT. To do so, the Packers will need:

• Run-Run-Run to daylight. Coach Matt LaFleur, unlike his predecessor (Mike McCarthy) doesn't abandon the run early. And running the ball successfully will help Green Bay control the ball, and the clock.
• Don't get fancy -- just stay with that has been successful in putting up 30+ points.
• Patience from quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be key, taking what the Bucs give him. This is his first home field in an NFC title game; I don't think he'll let it go to waste.
• NO turnovers. Don't give the Bucs a short field.
• Bother Brady. He gets the ball out quickly, so the defense needs to be ready.

There may be a few grills out in the Lambeau Field parking lot, and come post-game, there will be plenty of room next to the brats for a GOAT.

The weather will lend itself to the Frozen Tundra on Sunday, and Green Bay will win 37-20.
