I wish we had a healthy Shields for this game. Hopefully our CBs can handle Harvin. I really wanted Shields on that guy.

Christian Ponder has been named the starter by Leslie Frazier

"@JasonLaCanfora: Leslie Frazier has made the change and notified those involved. Christian Ponder takes over as starter."

Interesting tidbits leading into this game:

3 of James Jones' last 7 receptions have been touchdowns.

Desmond Bishop had 20 tackles in the Rams game, giving him 72 for the season.

Another interesting tidbit: The Packers are rushing 3 more than any team in the league. Some are speculating that this is due to injuries to players like Matthews. Others are speculating that Capers is deliberately staying vanilla, hoping to roll out the surprises as the postseason approaches.

I have noticed that he also keeps Matthews on one side and has not moved him around. I saw only one snap at the Rams game when Matthews was in another location.

He won't dial anything up for the vikling goatsuckers and may not have to against the Chargers.

Maybe Thanksgiving.

Ponder is in as you all know. Not sure on the injury front for your guys' team, but the Vikings may be out 4 starters. 3 of which won't be noticed much, IMO. The only one I'm remotely concerned about as a Viking fans is Winfield. I don't want him on the field if he isn't healthy, though. It's a neck injury so its something to take caution on.

No one here has the nuts to take a sig/avatar bet with me, so I'll make a reserved projection that the Packers will win, but not by as much and ZS wants them to. I think it'll be a scrappy game.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

I felt more comfortable about this game when Donovan McNabb was starting. With Christian Ponder taking over, it starting to feel like the Packers vs Buccaneers in '09 when Josh Freeman made his first start.

Ponder appears to be a mobile QB with a decent arm. I didn't pay much attention to him so I really have no clue.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (6h) : HUMP DAY

beast (6h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (6h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (6h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (6h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (6h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (6h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (6h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (6h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (7h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (8h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (9h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (9h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (9h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (9h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (22h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Packers have $60M+ of 2025 cap space on paper TODAY.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Missed FG into a Lions TD; that'll do pig, that'll do

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

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

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

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

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

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : God help me but I'm rooting for the Vikings to...Vikings to...Christ I can't say it
