Good Morning all,

Well, what a game! I will readily admit that I thought we were buried at halftime.

Now, it gets interesting.

The playoff picture is simple.

Packers - At Lambeau Vs. The Steelers, At Soldier Field Vs. Da Bears

Lions - At Ford Field Vs the Ravens, at home again Vs. the Giants and away to Minnesota

Bears - Away at the Eagles, then at home vs. The Pack

With 10-4 records for Carolina/San Fran, the wildcard slots are taken. The only way to get into the dance is control our destiny and hope for a Lions loss in their next three games.

The time is now. We MUST take a shot with our big guns and control what we can. The pack winning the division rests on winning out, and hoping the Lions lose one out of three.

As well as Flynn just played, no matter how rusty, if Rodgers is available he must start. Bring Cobb into the mix, and should all go well, we will be hot coming into the playoffs.

Rodgers must be close now, and with the season on the line, I think putting him on the field would be justified. We have been (rightfully) cautious, but now is the time to pull the trigger. The season depends on it.

Zero2Cool is my captain.

You guaranteed a Cowboys TD while they were driving, to which they did NOT get a TD. You say you're a Packers fan? I say, I hate you. HATE WITH A DOUBLE EIGHT!!

Aaron Rodgers is done, out, gone for 2013 is my fear. And since I no longer need him in fantasy since I just got my ass handed to me, I'm sure he'll play and light it up.

I hope he is not done for the year, that would be fatal to the season.

The Cobb situation is a good point. I haven't heard a mouses' fart on him!

Getting both Rodgers and Cobb back would be huge for this team, with two important Wins needed to make the playoffs. If they can both come back, and our D keeps improving (yes, improving from yesterday's first half, though they often held DAL to FGs), we might be onto something.

musccy, I haven't heard anything on Cobb either. Last I heard, he said he was ready to come back, a couple of weeks ago?, but the medical staff didn't clear him...

Heard that Mark Murphy said Rodgers was just a bit short of being cleared. Bad thing about a collar bone, is there is NO way to protect it. As long as that scan shows it is healed, he will be on the field come gameday.

I also heard that Cobb has just been cleared to start running and was out on the field before the game running routes. Not all out though. I wouldn't expect him back until the play offs.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Zero2Cool (56m) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3h) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
