Given the holiday weekend, the Vikes 11-3 record, and the Pack's (likely) elimination from the playoff race, I expect to see a lot of Viking fans in attendance on Saturday night. A whole lot.

In fact, we might see more opposing fans at Lambeau than any game since?

If the nationally televised game gets out of hand in the Vikes favor, which might happen if Rodgers does not play (not to mention Adams), with a lot of purple in the stands that would be an especially bitter pill for many Packer fans to swallow. It might also be the game that finally forces some real changes in Green Bay.

I'm expecting about 15,000 loser Vike fans in attendance. Ugh.

If being essentially out of playoff contention makes a Packer fan not want to go to Lambeau for a Saturday night contest vs the queens...  well, you ain't much of a Packer fan.  My wife and I will be enjoying a bota full of white russians and the holiday weekend with anyone else that has a pulse in Section 123.

GO PACK GO!

I hope it happens as you say. Packers organization seems oblivious to need for change and there needs to be a catalyzing event to unsettle their comfortable butts. 

I hope those in attendance start a "Capers Sucks" chant during the game to push the issue public. Make the announcers have to talk about it.

Right on, TDOG! Enjoy the Caucasians and may you and your wife have a very Merry Christmas! Hopefully, one gift from Santa will be a Packer Victory!

I would like to see Rodgers' first pass drilled very, very hard and at close range, directly into the body part that Barr grabbed as Rodgers left the field. That would make my (playoff-less) year.  

People get too excited about "revenge" in the NFL when it comes to player actions.  With all the camera angles, fines, suspensions and now emphasis on ejection you almost never see "enforcer" type justice on the field.  PIT/CIN notwithstanding.

Wishing we had a Conrad Dobler type on the offensive line to wish Anthony Barr a Merry Christmas.  Not expecting much, though.  Too many "nice" guys on this team.

I wish we had more that could block

Sounds more like we might be becoming like Vikings fans lately.

Not entirely. We have 1 thread about how much the Queens suck. We just add to it. Viking fans on the other hand will have 3/4 of there Forum pages filled with Packer topics. and half of them are complaining about "all the calls the Packers get" and "The NFL wants the Packers to win" 

Either way, 1265 has some heavy lifting to do this offseason.  MIN isn't going away.  In fact they'll probably be better next year with Cook at RB unless they get mired in the muck of a QB controversy if Bridgewater does anything.  I appreciate the Viking bagging as much as anyone but it's hard not to notice where they are right now.

There won't be many viking fans there. The game time temp is projected to be near 0, and with 35 years playing in domes, they've become too soft to endure that cold.

Perhaps some are too smart to sit in 0 temps, paying big money on a busy holiday weekend to watch a meaningless game.   

If you're asking O/U at 15,000, I'm taking the over.

 

As for Playoffs, here's how we get in just in case you didn't know.

1. Packers win out.

2. Falcons lose out (they play the Buccs, @Saints, Panthers).

3. Cowboys beat Seahawks in Week 16.

4. Eagles beat Cowboys in Week 17.

I wonder what the odds of this are? Actually, if Rodgers played the odds of #1 are most likely. #2 is the least likely, while #3 and #4 depend entirely on whether the Eagles or Seahawks have anything to play for in their games.

Eagles will be playing for home field. Seahawks are fighting to stay alive.

This is a pathetic thread. Bunch of effin losers you all are. As much as I want change, and I do for the squad. Comments on here are weak. Support your effin team and don’t pedict how many won’t show up. Viking Fans.

With the Packers officially eliminated from the Playoffs, I suspects Ticket Exchange and Stubhub will be flooded with tickets.

Will they be honoring Dom at halftime in anticipation of it being his final game as Packer defensive coordinator at Lambeau?

I'm sure the faithful would forgo selling their tickets to Vikes fans and get good and lubed up for that "celebration."

I see very little predictions per thread title and a lot of support within most of these posts.

Agree we should use next two games to evaluate the depth of roster talent. 

Thompson owns the roster, so playing this game as an evaluation of that would indicate his involvement in the coaching area. I think that is highly unlikely.

With all the camera angles, you'd think the refs could make a proper call, now and then.

They flooded lambeau in 2009 when Favre was on his final failquest.  Loud obnoxious vike fans yelling trash the whole game several rows behind us.  What sucked more is none of the packer fans around them did a damn thing about it. Granted that was Farb's first return to GB to face the new QB so there may have been some "conflicted" fans.
