Time to see if the past couple of weeks were a fluke. This is a game that we can win - assuming our defense shows up and looks average.

If I am Capers - I am planning to contain Wilson and stuff the run. Minimize the passes over the middle and make them throw to the outside. I could see Graham torching us in his usual fashion if he isn't a focal point

If the offense continues to grind out long drives and burn some clock - it should work in our favor. Wear that defense down and get the ball out quick - no time to run around waiting for a the big play against this D.

I think we squeak this one out in a nail biter finish.

3 players I think will make the difference for The Packers tomorrow.

1. Offense........Christine Micheal.....Time for CM(no 3 here 😁 ) to take over the run game and grind out those tough 2nd and 7's and 3rd and 3's.
Time of Possession will be critical tomorrow. 18 carries....125yds!!!!

2.Defense......Julius Peppers. The Packers have been keeping Julius fresh all season, just for this type of game. With Clay playing with basically 1 arm and Nick Perry out, it's up to Julius to LEAD the young guys. 4 tackles, 2 pressures, 2 sacks, and 1 batted ball will do fine!!!!

3.Special Teams.....Randall Cobb.....third week Randall will be returning all the punts, he has been close, this week, HE WILL TAKE ON TO THE HOUSE!!!!!

Who else?????

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

This looks like a trap game for the hawks, it has all the ingredients: Long trip after an easy win, bad weather conditions,random opponent.

Pete Carroll l has Mike McCarthy's number, I (we?) still can't believe what happened in the infamous championship game. So I think Mike McCarthy will come out with a totally wrong game plan, the Hawks will make a lot of mistakes and it will be a low-scoring close ugly game in the first half.

Then several things can happen:

- We can have one of our usual special teams distasters and it will be game over.
- Rodgers can produce one of his signature fumbles and it will be game over.
- The hawks can start targeting whoever is "covered" by Micah Hyde or Damarius Randall and it will be game over.
- Rodgers can find Nelson and Cobb for some long gains and TDs and it will be game over.
- Christine Michael can switch to beast mode and run for 200 yards against his former team and it will be game over.

Putting everything together I think Seattle has more ways to win the game than us. I think I will have an answer in our first 2nd and 10 play, if Michael runs up the middle for 2 yards then we lose, if Mike calls something else then anything can happen.

This game is as important as the next upcoming three games . Regardless win or lose. If we get manhandled by the Seahawks then it might be smart to take of the foot off the pedal this year and concentrate on rebuilding for next years run.

3/4 season completed and we still don't know the identity of this team and where they stand. Are we going to get our 30 points let down defense or our shut down defense. Are we going to have our mediocre offense or our offensive stars going to show up. Regardless we make the playoffs or not I still blame this years performance on our coaching staff on both sides of the ball. Seems on both sides of the ball the coaches are unable to get the best out of the payers & play calling has been disgusting for both sides of the ball.

The key to a victory to this game is to keep Wilson in his pocket and have him throw the ball as much as he can. As much as I hate to say this ... this game is all on Capers shoulders.

My youngest son and his fiancee are going to be at Lambeau for this one.
I tried to talk them out of going due to the weather but Jessica has never been inside Lambeau Field so they were determined to go.
I know when I was his age I never missed a home game weather be damned if it was in Green Bay or Milwaukee so I guess you learn with age.
So the old man gets to watch their puppy and kick back in the layzee boy to watch the game.
They have decent seats in section 101 row 32 but not as good as mine.

CM3 - Peppers - Clinton Dix - Daniels - Jones - Rollins - Randall - Burnett - Perry - Guion

IMO pretty good starters to have on your defense. All of these players seem to have a great potential as in raw talent but it seems they just can't seem to take the leap to be better then they are or elevate their games. That's either on the scheme they're being utilized in or the talent not being brought out which in both aspects fall into Capers lap.

Take Casey Hayward for example ... when he was in Dom's scheme vs what he's doing this year.

Dom Capers scheme is broken unfortunately, middle of the field is always open to be exploited specially on the 3rd and longs. Let's not forget the past two weeks we haven't been facing Elite QB's either.

I've never liked Capers as the defensive coach since day 1 he's been hired. Yes I liked the switch to the 3-4 defense but the defense has lost us way too many important games. Capers defenses mentality is mostly play safe & hope opposing offense messes up.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (9h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (14h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (22h) : 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

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
