Yeah, I don't think we have much of a "home field advantage" anymore. If anything, the threat of horrible weather really concerns me with this team. At least when they are traveling to a dome, I'm pretty confident we can score many points. Playoffs in Lambeau just doesn't seem to suit this team very well, at least until we get back to playing top 5 defense.

Last six playoff games at Lambeau: 2-4.

WTF?

I want to see us acquire someone who can get to the QB, preferably from the DL. Raji isn't that man. Cullen Jenkins was.

At least we're the first team in NFC North to sweep division ... That's one thing to be happy about!

Which also means P Manning will retire with no significant records.

. . . who ridiculed the few of us who were sounding the alarm all season long about this defense owe use a huge fucking apology.

I've been saying the entire season this team would not win a single playoff game. I've been called every name in the book, had my fanhood questioned, been told I was stupid for not believing that it wouldn't get fixed.

You ignored the irrefutable fact that history is replete with examples of dominant offenses that fell on their faces in the playoffs when they came up against solid defenses. A couple of exceptions here and there don't change that overwhelming trend.

Defense wins championships. Period.

I want to call you guys the same names you called me, but I'll settle for an apology from you. Or even just an admission you were wrong.

I literally want to puke.

If the goal is to win a Super Bowl, then there needs to be some form of complimentary to a high-octane passing attack. The Packers had none. Even the 09 Saints had a complimentary running game. You need something, whether it's pass rush or a running game. For the Packers it was defense last year, specifically their secondary. The bottom line is the '11 Packers were a one trick pony and it finally caught up with them.

Along with the obvious adjustments that need to be made on O and Defense, I would like to hear Mike McCarthy at least pay lip service to recovering the Lambeau mystique. All of the players should be totally ashamed for letting down all the fans at the stadium last night.

Lombardi era home Playoffs:
1961 - We beat the Giants 37-0 for the Championship. Starr had 3 TD passes in only 19 attempts.
1965 - We beat the Colts 13-10 in OT, then go on to win the Championship 23-12 over the Browns
1967 - We beat the Rams 28-7 then beat the Cows in the Ice Bowl. If anyone doesn't know the final score by heart, they should be ashamed of themselves. I'm not going to say it

(For the record, we didn't lose any Playoff games at home before Lombardi either)

Then in 1982, we finally host a Playoff game for the first time since 1967. We beat the Cardinals 41-16. I remember this game like it was yesterday. This was such a fun year. Lynn Dickey threw 4 TD passes, including 2 to John Jefferson, one to James Lofton (who was at the time my favorite player ever), and one to Eddie Lee Ivory.

Then we don't even see the Playoffs again until Brett Lorenzo Favre becomes a Packer. Immediately, the team turns around. We make the Playoffs in 1993 then host the first Playoff game in 12 seasons in '94, beating the Lions 16-12. The next year, we win the division and beat the Falcons 37-20.

The very next year, we beat the Niners 35-14. Weirdly, our D was so dominant that Favre only has to throw 15 times (1 TD, no INTs). Then we beat the Panthers 30-13, then go on to win the SB.

97 - we don't have home field advantage as the Niners do. We only host one Playoff game and we beat the Bucs 21-7.

2001 - We're a wild card team and host the Niners. We beat them 25-15.

It was 2002 when we lost our first Playoff game at home. I got so mad after the game because it was like a curse after that. Home was no longer a good place in the Playoffs.

Weirdly, it's like the curse hasn't been lifted. We won the SB last year without playing a single playoff game at home.

Harder to catch a ball and to hold onto it and thats exactly what the packers didnt do. If they would of done those things in this game probably look at a very different outcome.

I kind of wish we had our playoff games away now; remember someone making a thread about this. Dome or warm weather = ball that is more catchable; heck probably easier to throw also.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If that's the case in which I agree that it could be harder to catch / throw ... Then I would have to say giving Aaron Rodgers 2 bye weeks and having some WR's not take some snaps late in the last game is an error. Rodgers should of at least played 1 half to feel the flow, I guess resting them was a mistake.

From now, let's always get the last seed please rather go in domes, I feel more safe & confident.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (1h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (1h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (2h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (4h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (4h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (4h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (4h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (4h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (4h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (4h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (4h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (6h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (6h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (6h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (6h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (6h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (7h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (7h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (7h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (8h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (8h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (8h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (9h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (9h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (10h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (10h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (10h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (11h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (11h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (11h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (11h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (11h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (11h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (11h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (11h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (11h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (11h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (11h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (11h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (11h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (11h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (11h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (11h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (11h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (11h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
