Anyone on this site that is hoping for a GB loss is dead to me. Anyone hoping for a GB loss in hopes of avoiding a rematch with the Vikings is dead to me. Anyone hoping for a GB loss in order to travel to Washington is dead to me. 

It's the Vikings. Eff them. If GB loses because they suck then they lose because they suck. But every ounce of my being wants GB to curb stomp the ever living **** out of them and then do it again the following weekend. 

How can any Packer fan not be in love with the idea of beating Minny to win the North then beating them again a week later to end their season? That's fairy tale stuff...

WEATHER FORECAST

     Today
         Mostly cloudy, with a high near 29. Northwest wind 8 to 10 mph.
     Tonight
        Isolated flurries before 1am, then isolated snow showers after 1am.
        Mostly cloudy, with a low around 16. Northwest wind 8 to 10 mph.
        Chance of precipitation is 20%.
 

 

- Should the Packers win, it will mark their fifth consecutive division title, extending a franchise record. It would also make them the only team in the NFC to win its division each of the last five seasons. The only two teams to win five or more division titles in a row in the NFC Central/North were the Minnesota Vikings from 1973-78 and the Chicago Bears from 1984-88.

– Tonight will be the fifth regular-season home game in the month of January in team history. The Packers are 4-0 all-time at home in January during the regular season.

 – A victory would make Green Bay 4-2 against the division this season and give it four or more regular-season wins against division opponents for the 12th time in the last 14 seasons. The Packers are trying to finish above .500 in NFC North games for the 10th straight season.

     Hey, Queens.

     Daddy's home.

Shields bounced his head off concrete. Looked like it had a chance of being an extended absence when it happened. 

How would you know what that's like??? You act like you yourself personally went down on the steps at Lambeau and knocked yourself out.

Not sure I like it. Moves your best OLIneman to a position he's not as good at. Not sure if it helps the line or makes it worse overall. Guess we'll see.....will definitely take any option over Barclay at LT again.

It's made me recall when Gil Haskell bounced his noggin off the Dallas turf.

On one hand. MM is going outside the box. On the other hand Sitton is going on grit and duct tape with a bad back. On the surface it looks like the plan is 3 yards and a cloud of snow tonight.

If I remember right, Haskell was hospitalized for quite a while and could have easily died.
