I'm more worried about Finley hanging onto the ball than I am about the weather.
If Bulaga can come back, we'll have Lang and Sitton on the inside, with Starks and Saine presumably busting out runs. Grant's come on strong too.

Jermichael Finley does need to catch the ball. Coach should fine him $25k for each dropped catcheable pass.

I worry that someday I will come on this forum and nobody will be here, because you all worried yourself to death!!!!

All you need to do is look at the teams The Packers will probably meet this year in the play-offs and realize that other than The Packers, most are completely different when they go on the road. IE Rams beat Saints Cardinals beat 49r's

The Packers had their "clunker" game for 2011 and everything is "gloom and doom".

By the time The Packers play their 1st playoff game of 2011 Clifton,Bulaga,Jennings Starks,and Saine will all be ready to go on offense, Pickett and Bishop will be back on Defense.

Things will be OK. I hated to see The Packers lose to the Chiefs, but it's not as bad as some are making it.

A little advice to some, quit trying to be GM and/or HC, The Packers have very good men at both positions, try cheering on The Packers...ALL THE PACKERS....enjoy the fact that this team is still poised to do something real special.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

The part I don't understand is everyone saying we have no running game. We have a running game if Mike McCarthy decides to use it, Grant has 467 yards on 114 attempts for a 4.1 average and Starks has 565 yards on 127 attempts for a 4.5 average. So we do have a running game if Mike McCarthy tries to use it. I see us actually running the ball alot if we play the Saints just to slow them down.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I'm not seeing the same doom and gloom or gloom and doom as you say. I see FANS whom are concerned with a defense that is not playing up to a championship caliber level and is missing a few key members. As you mentioned, Bishop and Pickett should be back soon and hopefully that turns things around. On the positive side of things, the Packers don't NEED a championship level defense as long as their offense performs on a championship level. All will be fine then.

Well the Packers have a distinct advantage at home every time they play and it only gets better in the playoffs. Rodgers plays really well at home and as a team we seem to click better at home too. As someone else stated earlier the teams we are likely to see in the playoffs probably won't be playing crazy good on the road and especially at Lambeau. I think we will be fine if we get home field.

The Packers have won 17 of their last 18 home games.

Over that span, they've played six December games in Lambeau. They're 6-0, with a 35-ppg average. The defense is also better at home this season. They're allowing 18 ppg in home games.

Yes, you want home field advantage. The Packers could not go to New Orleans and win in the Superdome. Frankly, I don't think anyone could. Aaron Rodgers also has a distinct advantage against San Francisco and New Orleans. Both those teams blitz. Rodgers torches the blitz. The Chiefs didn't blitz many rushers all that much. Basically, they played coverage and brought Tamba Hali. Maybe the 49ers could do that, but I'm not sure the Saints have the patience for that.

Sox I floated this same questions about a month ago and got the same responses. But then there was a lot more "How DARE I even suggest such blasphemy" responses.

beast (12h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE
