The Packer elevated K Ramiz Ahmed and RB Tyler Goodson from the practice squad to the active roster for tomorrow’s game against the Vikings. Expect Ahmed to handle kickoffs and try to neutralize Kene Nwangwu.

Packer Win, Watson TD, Doubs TD , Alexaner Int, Alot of #55 in the backfield,We don't need to leave so many points on the field, RTFB, We can do this now just do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!                        

Big Dog / solid game !  Wyatts hair on fire !

Jones has to get more touches & our interior d-line has to be dominant vs. Vikes weak interior o-line.

Calling it. Kirk gives us THREE INTs. One is a pick Six.

Elevation of Ahmed a tacit admission from the team that Mason is just about done. 

Done on kickoffs for sure.

No safety net from the Giants or Lions today. It's either win out or the season is over.

Vikes have one of best KO return men, looks like Pack wants to limit his chances.

Christian Watson is stretching his hip on the field during warmups. Ten minutes to go until inactives.

His extra points don't make it half way up the posts and his kicks-offs barely go past the 10 yard line. If they are seriously considering anything about the playoffs they have to realistically look at Crosby. Love the guy, but age sucks and his leg just isn't what it used to be.

Exactly, and Mason no longer has the leg to limit his chances.

@TomPelissero: Christian Watson (hip) will be active today against the #Vikings, per source.

Mason has not kicked into the end zone for years. Yet he has been relatively reliable otherwise.

Watson active!

Nixon active as well.

Christian Watson and Keisean Nixon are active.

Packers inactives:

CB Shemar Jean-Charles
RB Tyler Goodson
LB Krys Barnes
T Rasheed Walker
T Caleb Jones
WR Bo Melton
DL Jonathan Ford

Although Washington is currently down and may lose, worst case scenario is playing out right now with Lions and Saints winning—the Bandwagon Franchise can end our season and elevate to potential No. 1 seed. They’re playing for everything this afternoon just like the Packers, it’s just a matter of who shows up.

But the positive... amazingly it would mean the Packer's destiny is improbably their own going forward.

Packer 27, vikings 20. Kark throws up a couple INTs, one for a pick 6. Packers D Line shuts down Cook and pressures Kark, all game long. Sacks by Preston Enagbare, Clark and Walker make Kark think he is the Bears' QB. Rodgers is on target, all game long, as our offense plays inspired football.  STs plays their best game, of the season. Lambeau Field grounds crew happy to clean up the purple smear, on the vikings side of the field. TV crew inadvertently capture video of the vikings' coach talking to a wall, not realizing his team has left the locker room, for the bus ride to Austin Strabel airport. GO PACK GO!!!

I think the Packers will play well on offense, but unfortunately, the Vikings offense is really good and I don't have confidence in Joe Barry's defense to stop them today. I'll say a 31-27 Vikings win and hope Blair Kiel can make fun of me afterwards.

@MPNoted! 😀 Just set a new driving record of 5:30 from Atlanta to Wake Forest to be home in front of the tv for this.

No matter what, we break Kark.  Put him concussion protocol for the remainder of the playoffs.  Jefferson gets a high ankle sprain, and Theilen blows an ACL.  I don’t usually wish for injuries, except for these guys.  Fucking bury them,

Washington lost, does that help us?

Yes

Yes it does! Now we only have to win out to get into the post season.

Philly also lost, to NO.

Maybe time to draft a kicker.  Moody for Michigan is pretty good.  

Well, so did Barry learn from the last game and put Alexander on Jefferson the whole game?

Vikings call tails. Its heads. Packers defer. Vikings will receive.

Za'Darius Smith just refused to shake hands with Adrian Amos during the coin toss.

Oh no, not that!

Romo really sucks as a color guy

I've said it before, find a great kickoff guy and give him a roster spot even if that is all he does. Worth it.

Crosby kicking off, ugh
