I found on ESPN that “Referee Clete Blakeman's regular-season crew threw the second-fewest flags per game (13.8, one flag more than the Vinovich crew). His regular-season crew threw the NFL's fewest number of flags for defensive holding, illegal contact and pass interference (29)”. I expect the Seahawks to do a lot of that. 

It's not exclusively Clete's crew. 

It is an "all star" hodgepodge  group of highest rated officials.

Back injuries are tricky things. If there is no structural damage then proper treatment will help. However, injections can then only temporarily cover up some pain but then one runs the risk of further injury. A 300 plus pound defense lineman’s back is already stressed so the medical and training staff needs to be careful.

True, but the head ref sets the tone and has final say on the field.

At least there is no Hochuli or Triplett messing things up.

Problem is..... most of those "ass sitters" have had their tickets for decades & they're like 70+ years old. 

If it's too loud.....you're too old. Don't go to the game if you don't want to stand up.

Strap an iPad to Mabel and Harold and tell them to shut the fuck up.  Why not even have a "honored" old shit section that has some nice perks so they can all be lumps of shit together.  That's probably more workable than a meatball section.  If they choose not to take the perk then they deal with the crowd and standing.

Start thinking here Packers organization.  Make those PR guys earn their paycheck.   All the bragging rights about tenured fans means jack if they sap home field advantage.

I get it that many season ticket owners prefer to sit at games. Perhaps it’s a sense of entitlement or maybe it’s just their age. At my age I prefer to sit in my recliner. But if you choose to attend the game then you should be active. Maybe that’s why so many sell their tickets. These people have supported our team during bad times but right now we need rabid fans more than historical supporters.

I've probably been to around 30 or so Packer games at Lambeau and sat all over the stadium.  I don't recall anybody ever telling me to sit down.  The seniors tend to sit though.

Have a question, which shirt should I wear for the game??  My shirt that I've worn for the last few weeks the Packers have won or my new Packers Pro Shop shirt I bought this year???  I figure I can wear a new shirt because it's the playoffs, or should I keep wearing the one they've had success winning in......what'daya think??   Keep the winning streak going with my usual or my brand spanking new one because it's the playoffs??

When you're 70 years old it's hard to stand up  or get it to stand up.

I think that the injury bug (after not being a factor all season) may have finally bit us. https://www.packers.com/news/i...nfc-divisional-round
I don’t think that we can pull off a win today.

With both Bulaga and Clark struggling with injuries and illness it will be tough.

They sell seats not stands.

But they're called seats and stands.

Seriously, my post wasn't respectful but I really think they could do something to accommodate both older fans who aren't as rowdy and show them respect as long term fans while other fans can get as nutty as they want.

I also wonder why people don’t get flu shots?

I've never had a flu shot in my life. I take care of myself & use my body's immune system to fight the flu. 

IMO, flu shots are bullshit & sometimes people get really sick after having the shot.
