A short week for the Packers and an even shorter week for the Brownies.

Remember to take the Browns to the Super Bowl this week to make room for your holiday feast! 
This is going to sound petty but I don't care. My ex in laws are rabid Browns fans so beating that team on Christmas definitely wouldn't suck.
I haven't watched a whole lot of Browns games this year but what I have seen I cannot figure that team out. They will beat the snot out of the Bengals and turn around the next week and lose by 35 to the Patriots. Two things that I worry about on their offense is they can run the ball pretty well and they also have a pretty good TE.
That’ sounds very petty.

Rodgers commented that it was a look they had never seen before defensively.
That's a pretty tuff stretch for GB, third game in 13 days.
thanks alot nfl scheduler

They'll be on at 5pm Eastern time!!! 
Thought they did a very good job of limiting the damage from Davante. Needed another receiver to step up and MVS did big time.
With that type of coverage, Cobb would have been nice to have.
Adams is so good getting off the line that I can see why they stacked the DBs like this. If he beats the first guy off the line --and Adams is the best in the NFL at that -- the second guy is waiting for him. Smert. Wouldn't surprise me to see others pick up on it. Luckily, MVS picked up some slack as did others.
@TomSilverstein: Packers signed LB Peter Kalambayi to the practice squad. He played in 41 games for the #Texans from 2018-'20, and played roughly 70% of their special teams snaps. Definitely signed him for a purpose.

Hopefully he finds his special purpose in Titletown
Doesn't mean much if he is only on practice squad. When they sign him to the 53 it will then mean something.
@RapSheet: #Browns pass-rusher Takk McKinley is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles, source said. He’ll have an MRI in the morning to determine if that is the case.
Ouch.
First I thought acl...then they said ankle....he did that weird little hop that portends bad things.
I’d rather we use week 18 to get them some playing time. I don’t want their first action to be in the playoffs.
Still no word on Z so I’m thinking he doesn’t have a shot. Z and Bahk should be back by 18.
Got an email today about tickets available for the Browns game. Cleveland turned in a good portion of their allotment of tickets. Funny thing is they are being sold through Ticketmaster at face value but if you look at the resale tickets most of them are 1/2 face value.
#Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says he does not anticipating David Bakhtiari and Jaire Alexander playing this weekend against the Browns.

Alexander returned to practice on Dec. 8th, kicking off his 21-day window to practice while still on the injured reserve list, meaning that he need to be activated by December 28th, or put on the shelf until next season.
Garett uncertain to play Saturday with a groin injury…
The loss of Garrett — the Browns best defensive player and a leading candidate for NFL Defensive Player of the Year — would be monumental in and of itself. But it would be much worse now with Takk McKinley suffering a ruptured left Achilles during the game that will require surgery and will keep him out up to a year, and with Jadeveon Clowney being placed on COVID-19 on Sunday.
Looks like we'll know in a week if we get JA back this season.

I did that to my left achilles when I was 25. I was playing raquetball, jumped up to hit a shot and then immediately jumped forward to hit another shot and I could swear the person I was playing kicked me in the back of my leg. I crumpled to the floor, but when I looked back, the other guy was way at the back of the court. I stood up, but couldn't push off on that leg. I suspected, but I was hoping for the best. Reached to the back of my ankle, and sure enough, it was just mush. No achilles. What a brutal injury. Three months in a cast, and when the cast came off I looked in horror at my calf and about fell off the table in the Dr.'s office because I didn't have any calf muscle left. It took a year to walk normally, and I never recovered my speed or ability to jump very high off that leg.
Of course these guys can hire the best when it comes to recovery/rehab, but I still feel for any athlete that this happens to. It can end a career.
Hey @DocBenni, you bringing out the Blanton's for this game? I'm jealous, you know.
Well, we're having my wife's family over for dinner on Christmas day, so I won't be joining you guys live for the game. They're going to want to watch Christmas movies all day and expect me to be present, so I have to record the game and watch it Sunday. Hopefully I can avoid looking at the score until then.
As someone that now works in GB (relatively close to the stadium) there’s a lot of chatter about low ticket demand for the Browns game.
Yes it’s on Christmas, but 3:30 start time and moderate temps (mid 30s) make this a decent option for a later season game. If you want to go, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg and both teams need this game so should be a decent contest.
MVS on Covid list

Did the topic of Packer games not come up before marriage? Mrs. Kiel calls the shots on most aspects of our lives, but Packer games are sacred non-negotiable events. We have scheduled vacations and other events around them.
Carry on…and if you need to show her what I wrote to your wife, you have my blessing.
Running low on WR's again.
start coughing and hacking up a lung, then excuse yourself to "quarantine" in your bedroom and watch the game.

Just following the game thread here is sometimes just as much fun. Keep your phone under the blanket.

Too many adventurers die in dungeons because they wanted to save their potions and special items. If you have them, use them.

Oh you best believe the topic of Packers games and their sanctity came up before marriage. Of course, at the time she said that was fine. Just like she said she would be fine not having kids. That's OK, I told her I'd be coming into a lot of money. That way we were both disappointed.
JK. Packers games are sacred 99% of the time - she kows it, her family knows it. I'm a little more flexible because I get to have Sunday Ticket, therefore I can record a game and watch it later. Of course knowing this, she pushes for more recordings sometimes, but I push back. I get an angry look and she's annoyed, but it goes away. This is one of the few times I'll give in. It's only one game out of the season.

Damn, I feel this. I did the same thing but I was 44 and it happened playing softball. And then to outdo myself, I tore the other one 16 months later (softball again) when I was just at the point of being able to do something between jogging and running. Went surgical repair on the 2nd tear and recovery went much faster. And the six or seven weeks of relying 100% on the left leg did a great job of finishing off my rehab on it. 
Slippery slope…this year Christmas, next year Turkey day, SB next?
To paraphrase Charlton Heston…I’ll give you the remote when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Yeah, either that which required a test or he's unvaccinated. If he's out 10 days then he's probably unvaccinated.
