I'm calm as hell right now but I'm sure I'll get a little jacked up as the day goes on.  No matter how this shakes out, this has been one helluva season that not many of us expected.  With the young coach, a shit ton of cap space and some excellent veterans on this roster, the immediate future of this organization is bright as hell.  

GO PACK!

I’m very nervous.......and it is a good thing we are in this game.  Do or die,  put up or shut up I guess eh??     Have you seen all the stats on this team??  Wow, not that good......but I think their heart and drive could make this a huge win.  

Just watched Kurt Warner give the QB advantage in the game to the Niners. Find that one extremely puzzling.

Inactives will be interesting. Dexter Williams, Ryan Grant, Alex Light, John Leglue and Ka'dar Hollman would seem to be obvious. The other 2 will be jnteresting. I'd guess either Danny Vitale or Jace Sternberger would be inactive. Kingsley Keke could also sit this one out.

Man I wish they'd give Sternberger some opportunities.  

I think the decision between Vitale or Sternberger may be decided by how healthy Lazard is.

As stated many times over the years, I turn on the tv 5 minutes before kick off and therefore I don’t have to be offended by what somebody who gets paid to pontificate says.

It doesn’t matter.

I think Vitale still has the knee. 

Would expect Jace to be active. 

One thing I've been waiting all week for is someone to mention special teams. 

Have a feeling ST's play a big role in this one.

I still want to know what Tifway II Bermuda grass is!

They wanted Billy Turner on that trolley car but there was no room for his hair. 

Me too! So I looked it up.

What’s the latest on Opie?  Supposed to be active?  Hope he can gut it out.   Would be tough without our regular punter and holder.   

After reading that article Boris posted about Saleh and Mayo the question needs to be asked.  Are we officially in the Playstation coaching era?  Who says video games are bad for you. 

I guess the Tecmo Bowl era never took off.

Welcome to the NFC championship game. Third time in six seasons #Packers have advanced to doorstep of the Super Bowl. Will third time be the charm? Kickoff vs. 49ers still more than 5 hours away. pic.twitter.com/vDslHD9aDf

You bring in Raven Green and have him cover Kittle the whole game. Alexander and King have to man up their guys. 

I like Martinez, but he can’t cover a guy like Kittle. If we see Martinez on Kittle, the game plan on defense sucked. 

I think Sullivan needs to be the guy.  Greene has played solid ball but he's also been out most of the season.  I'd hate to see the rust show up in the championship game.  Sullivan and Greene with a nice rotation.

Stop. The. Run.

Here's to Chandon Sullivan being the unsung hero of the day.

Tense, Worried, Nervous, yep, been all that as the day has progressed. However, now as the kickoff nears I am resigned to just sit back and watch THE PACKERS KICK THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF THE DAMN 49ers. Packers will take advantage of the suposed confinence the 49ers have because to their earlier beatdown of the PACKERS. !!!!

Don’t let Dick Sherman take away 1/2 of the field.

You are a wise and hirsute man. Prophet-like.

Said no one ever. 😂

I smite thee.

#Packers have arrived here at Levi's Stadium. First person wearing team paraphernalia on the field: special-teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga. He just walked from one end zone to another and back, checking lay of the land.

#Packers punter JK Scott (illness) is expected to play in today’s NFC Championship Game after being added to the injury report as questionable yesterday, per source.

Not much doubt when they brought Greene off of IR.

Throughout AR's career, when he throws 40+ times a game he's 19-31-1. PLEASE OL, open some holes for Jones. And MLF, please get up early and make the whiners scramble.

Jk Scott good to go per wtmj 

allow me to say GO PACK GO!  play smart sound football and pound the rock while blasting their run game to pieces!!

Surprised they added Raven Greene only to make him inactive today..when they didn't activate him last week, I really thought it was because they were holding him back for this week as their "secret" weapon to cover Kittle. Guess not.

Hope refs realize we could have a re do of Super Bowl I. 

Yeah probably not a good time to roll out a "secret" weapon in the most important game of the year.

Unless it's Reggie White.

Reggie is in heaven making watches.

I hope he said a prayer for the Packers 

They gave him a pound of cheese 3 hours ago and a cork. He will be fine.

A Mahomes-#Packers Super Bowl would be the ultimate kick to the area for #Bears fans.
