While other precincts are fretting over the possible blackout of a home playoff game, the Packers vowed Tuesday that they’d be on local television Sunday. As recently as last night, they were telling folks they had 15,000 seats left, and had only knocked around 2,000 off that today. According to Don Walker of the Milwaukee...

My dilemma is I think my nephew has basketball games on Sunday. I've always tried to support him and I've missed several regular season games to watch him play but this is the playoffs. Maybe he will play early for once. I guess there is always DVR

I'd go, but I'm not about to sit outside in this cold weather.

If I had the money and vacation time, I would gladly buy a ticket.

Surprised they're having trouble moving tickets.

I supported them during the season. It is time for those on the waiting list to pony up. Where are all the people who say that the Packers should quadruple the season ticket prices to cull some of the current season ticket holders out?

Talk is cheap.

The playoff tickets are not.

I also supported them during the season, once (for the Vikings tie).

Living 9 hours away and working the day before means I can't help them now though.

But living in CA plus buying a few tickets just isn't an option for me right now (well it could be, but it's not going to be). More important things for me to spend my money and time on. It's too bad, too, because I would love to go. I also have some family in North Carolina that is buying tickets to the first Panther playoff game next week. If the Packers win, it's likely they would play the Panthers, which would basically mean a free Packers playoff game for me. Damn moving across the county! heh heh.

Now if the Packers were playing the 49'ers in CA, I would strongly consider going, as that's an easy drive and not a $500/ticket plane ride.

10 hours round trip for me isn't the killer. A 101 temp and bad cough could be.

Dodd I believe they have a separate list for the Green and Gold packages. Living so far away you might prefer the Gold package. It is a little easier to get to two games than 6.

Zero2Cool (50m) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (1h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (4h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (4h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (5h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (5h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (5h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (5h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (6h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (6h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (8h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (17h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (23h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (23h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
