Joe Callahan is ready to go if needed (as if he'd have a choice)

From the moment Packers coach Mike McCarthy barked "did you just listen to the question I just answered?' at a reporter who had the nerve to ask whether Colin Kaepernick could be added to the post-Aaron Rodgers quarterback depth chart, one thing became clear: Former Division III quarterback Joe Callahan would be one injury to [more]

How inadequate is Callahan that they refuse to bring him in for a series when clearly Hundley isn't doing the job?

I don't think it really has anything to do with Callahan. McCarthy is ultra stubborn and staked his credibility on Hundley early so now he's going ride with him no matter what

Ya, it could be that a coach puts in a player that will hurt the team because of ego; but com'mon do you really believe that? There is no crying in football!

Come here boys [patting on my knee], let's talk. Prescott looked great last year behind a studly OL. Kaekpernick looked great for 2 years behind a studly OL. Then those OL stopped being so good and guess what happened?...No no, no guess...Yes, that right! They didn't play so well, very good here is a gold star.

Now its gonna get tougher. If these guy were stuck behind these bad OLs in their first 4 games; how do you think they'd look? Very good another gold star!

Hundley has gone thru 4 games of growing pains and now you want to start all over again?

Now let's take some of these remedial things we've learned and apply them when you speak to the world.

The OL hasn't been all that bad for Hundley. He's averaged holding the ball a full second longer than Rodgers even. Guys are there early in plays but he doesn't let it go.

McCarthy is stubborn he always has been. Sometimes it works out for him sometimes it doesn't. I have no doubt he thinks he's always making the right choices but sometimes it's ok to scrap a plan that didn't work early on. He was pretty quick to dump Clements and take back play calling for himself though even though it didn't really help.

Yeah the idea that Mike might let his ego get in the way of what's best for the team is completely ridiculous but Aaron Rodgers does it all the time right?...

I couldn't help sighing longingly as I watched Case Keenum stepping up adroitly in the pocket whenever he was under pressure this past Sunday. It would be so nice to have a quarterback who kept his eyes downfield when the stallions are closing in instead of sprinting for the nearest sideline the moment he hears the pounding hooves. Need I remind anyone that Rodgers was hurt while rolling out?

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (11h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (16h) : 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

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
