They should be pretty strong running at the left DE.

Time to go through the pre game ritual of getting bombarded by notifications from the Packers retweeting the roll call 
Hope 12 doesn't get killed tonight. He's most likely still sore from last week.
Heads hitting concrete isn't a good thing. It killed a good friend of mine 2 months ago. Good thing Sam had a helmet on.
for those catching up, from packers.com:
GREEN BAY — The possibilities for next weekend’s opponent are down to two.
By virtue of Seattle’s win in Arizona on Sunday afternoon, the Packers will not play the Seahawks in the wild-card round.
If the Packers win tonight, they will host the Vikings again at Lambeau Field. If Green Bay loses, the Packers travel to Washington to face the Redskins. Game dates and times for next weekend had not been announced by the NFL at the time of this posting. The Packers’ first playoff game could be Saturday or Sunday.
The top of the NFC field also sorted itself out, as Carolina earned the No. 1 seed with a win over the Buccaneers. Arizona is the No. 2. Those teams will receive first-round byes and await their next opponent.
They missed 1 scenario.
If there's a tie, Seattle comes to Green Bay and the queens go to Warshingten
love the Chilijon quote... **** the Vikings those ****ing ****er ****s

Run behind Sitton.
Have to figure the Vikings would rather play us next week than Seattle, no?
Have they announced the times yet for next week or are they waiting for this game to be over?

In the end, the Vikings are going to fail spectacularly. Who they play is irrelevant.
Cavetoad posted:I am also hoping for a thoroughly frothed up Eddie Lacy tonight. With that left side of the line we should be able to run over there with some success!
RTFB.

Indeed.
If memory serves, he had a skull fracture and resultant swelling of the brain.
Josh Sitton starting at LT and Taylor at LG?
I'm not expecting the Packers to make a ton of noise in the playoffs this year (but anything can happen, who knows), but beating the Vikings three times in one season would still feel pretty good.

Not yet. They may have something by halftime.
Packers win toss, defer. Vikings will receive.

Yep.
I can see why they wouldn't want to risk Tretter at LT, since Linsley isn't 100 percent.

Welcome Goldie!
McCarren says that gives us the best 5 players on the field. Matches our best OL against their best pass rusher.
@robertzizzo
#Packers game time temperature was 24 degrees with wind out of the west at 11 mph. The wind-chill was 15 degrees.

did we win the toss and defer??
Sitting at LT?
I guess it's ground and pound tonight! !
Interesting to note: NBC has Saturday night game next week. Either they may not want to have the same game twice if we play MIN or they figure it's cheaper to just keep everything set up in GB. I'd bet the latter .
Isolate Ryan in coverage. It's like a free wide open bomb every time.
jeebus, thanks Pondwater.
Jake Ryan: AJ Hawk vs. the run, Desmond Bishop vs. the pass.
Vikings know how to scout, that's for sure. They got McKinnon matched up against Jake Ryan. Bad matchup. The Packers were very lucky on that one.
