line judge Ron Marinucci (107), field judge Dave Meslow (118), side judge Greg Meyer (78) and back judge Terrence Miles (111).

 

Since when did the league start showing the officiating crew's ages?

Walking to Paul Brown Stadium, I am seeing a lot of Packers fans. We'll see what the split is at kickoff inside.

I hope the Packers Fans are represented and loud.  My brother and his wife will be doing their part at the game today!

@ESPNStatsInfo

Tom Brady has thrown a TD pass in 50 straight games, the 2nd-longest streak in NFL history. Drew Brees has the record with 54 straight.

 

‏@ESPNStatsInfo

Tom Brady completing just 28.6% of passes to Kenbrell Thompkins this season - the worst among any duo with 15+ attempts.

@AdamSchefter

49ers calling TE Vernon Davis a true game-time decision. Wants to play vs. brother but it will not be easy.

As expected, Lacy will not suit up today.

I will be missing today's game.   Softened somewhat by the fact that I'm spending the day with some very dear family.

 

Game will be DVR'd  and I'll hopefully watch a "speeded up" up later this evening.

@PackerUpdate

Bengals love to bunch receivers. Maybe this will be the day the Green Bay defense finally figures out how to react to such formations.

Interesting stuff from Erik Walden on Kaepernick's playoff run. Supports what Kevin Greene said the next day:

Looking for a link for the game for a buddy... Anybody?

Good morning!

Let's have a clean game out there and no knee diving.

Get your game on -- CHEERS!

gawd I love this time of year

Nothing is really up yet, but I go here.

 

Wiziwig's links for today's game.

 

Pick a flash one.  Be patient, click the little x's layer by layer.  Don't download anything.  Once you maximize the popups go away.  Enjoy!

 

About the game.  No surprise Kuhn and Lacy are out.  I am not surprised the JS guys are down on the game.  The Milwauke sports radio scene has quite a few guys down on the team right now.  I don't understand why.

 

I like our chances today! 

 

Sounds like we are going to have quite a few fans there!   travel well as always.

If they really cared about you---they'd let you watch the game. Think about it.

 

I have been completely impressed by Neal.  This is what a good player and a smart, savvy coaching staff can produce.  Greene showing impressive coaching skills as he grows in the coaching ranks.  He will get his shot at DC one day.

 

It almost reminds me of Campen and Big Ern . . . 

Heck, I missed a Thanksgiving dinner we were hosting due to a Packers Game.  I almost became an X after that one, but the wife came around and now know I am totally unreliable during a Packers game.

Just posted in the chat area that Kurt Warner thinks the Packer defense is going to have their hands full with A J Green.  He said that area of the field behind the LB's and in front of the DB's will be wide open for Green all day.  That area of the field has been a thorn in GB's side.   Hope the Packer Defense is up to the task.      

and crap, Acheman and buck are calling the game.  Ugh......     

Factoid in LATimes: in past two years against 9 AFC teams, Rodgers has 28 TD passes and 3 interceptions.

Liked seeing the receivers supporting their QB on Fox! James in particular.

Fantastic article on Neal. Thanks much.

A-12 has not beaten the Bengals.....

 

Not counting the Packers, there are only four NFL teams Aaron Rodgers has not defeated as a starting quarterback, and Cincinnati is one of them.

The victory over Washington last week scratched the last NFC opponent off Rodgers’ list. He has now beaten every team in Green Bay’s conference, and it took him more than two tries versus only two of them – Atlanta and Tampa Bay, against whom the third time was the charm, in the 2010 playoffs and 2011 regular season, respectively.

Should Rodgers and the Packers notch a win on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium over the Bengals, Rodgers’ list of unvanquished foes would fall to three, all in the AFC – Kansas City (lost in ’11, the team’s only regular-season defeat), Miami (lost in OT in ’10) and New England (never played, missing only possible start in ’10 due to a concussion).

 

One last look: Bengals one of few teams Aaron Rodgers hasn’t beaten

Me too.  That was a great article.  I wonder if Perry is coming along a bit slow with his switch.  Also, isn't his wrist still in a cast?

Either way, it makes our Defense better.  That is always a good thing.

 

@MikePereira

Concern for the day..now that fines have been issued for crown of the helmet hits on and by runners, look fo more flags for this.

 

@CindyBoren

First, Pam Oliver gets beaned by a football. Now, she gets run over by a marching band.

 

@MikeGarafol

Does somebody have a hit out on Pam Oliver? Nearly death by marching band just now.

 

should have video of that soon

 

 

some schlup on  is 'reporting' the Bengals won't blitz much.

 

Ummm yeah...

Factoid:  Rodgers has 78 TD passes and 6 interceptions when I drink manly beers!

However, I get a bit nervous when everyone on Fox pick the Packers.

All 5 Fox pre game guys picked the Pack

 

 

I have faith in Greene getting Perry up to speed.  Perry is definitely a straight up 4-3 DE making the transition.  

 

Trade bait in the future?  Interesting proposition considering the trade market is more feasible with the new CBA.  

Disappointed (but not that surprised) at the porous Packer defense. Hope they can tighten it up. 

Ass-raping.

Cut Ross immediately.

One reason why Ross is on the team and he sucks at it.

With the way the D plays, I think I've had about enough of the 'defer' choice. And Ross... well... It's not like there haven't been warning signs. Down 2 TDs before Rodgers even touches the ball, ridiculous.

 

On the bright side I'm still convinced the Bengals suck.

Yeah, but we have Ross.

Well this has been a disappointing start.

Wonder what slodum sees in ross.

Cut that idot Ross. last year at SF, he started it by screwing up, and he continues this year too.

So, I hear Cobb can return kicks...

Only Lacy sits after a fumble, not ross. Thanks slodum.

Big Ern!

As irksome, irritating and obnoxious as it is. Negative, whining fans are sometimes right. And coaches and GM's are capable of letting their pride and indignation at being second guessed influence them.

 

In other words the Packers defense is just as bad as it been the last 2 seasons and #10 isn't just a liability as a KR. He's an unmitigated disaster.
