The Packers scored 22 points on the Vikings in the 4th quarter to lose by 2 points....this after their FG kicker missed not one....but TWO FG's PLUS Jordan Favre (or Bert Love, your choice) threw 3 INT's
The Vikings are in for a rude awakening when they play THiS version of the Packers in December/January. I put both months because the December game might be basically a Pre-Season game depending on factors of what other teams do.
Let's see how things shake out after the MNF game vs. the Saints.
Tauscher said something on the radio yesterday and I agree with him 100%....
It's really hard to win 4 straight games on the road....it's really hard to win 3 straight games on the road.....if the Packers don't make it to the Super Bowl....the team that has the #1 seed will. Whether that's the Vikings, or Lions or Eagles remains to be seen.
Here's what I think....if the Packers make it to the NFC Championship game and it's vs. the Lions or Vikings....the Packers won't lose.
The Eagles....have the O-Line and D-Line to win.
I hope the Lions or Vikings have the #1 seed. It's going to be glorious....and those Lion & Viking fans.....are going to hate, Hate.....HATE the Packers again

If Narveson makes one of those two missed FGs, we win, in Lambeau. We lost by two freaking points. We will beat the vikings, when we play them, next. I feel the real implosion, for the vikings, will be in the playoffs, when they go one and done, against whomever they play. It's coming. You can feel it. I will revel in it! You should, too! GO PACK, GO!!!
I think any success GB has the rest of the season and in the playoffs is predicated on continuing to feed Jacobs the ball on offense via the run and the screen. Ball control and time of possession along with no turnovers is paramount in keeping the defense off the field. While I think that the Packer D is improved, I don't think it can win games for this team. The first half of the Seattle game should be the blueprint for the rest of the season.

I agree on the Packers defense that yes, they have improved but they need to get them off the field. I really love their effort right now, but I also am still very worried that they can give up big plays and at times they have a tendency to play soft and allow too much pitch and catch.
So yes, the playbook should be Jacobs early and often. Nothing is better for the QB than running the damn ball which opens up play action. It also can take the steam away from the defense and the hostile crowd.
And IMHO there is one other big difference with this year's Packers team. They do NOT back down from anyone. You may beat them, but you are going to have to earn it.

Also.....the running game keeps the opposing offense on the sidelines while wearing out the opposing defense. Gigantic recipe for winning football

Exactly!!! This team is not soft like some of those former Packer teams....BOTH sides of the ball too!
New Orleans is not going to lay down for us. I want a hometown beatdown of them. 34-14 type beating. Send a message.
That's a Goldie type crushing your wishing for Dave. I just want to see them win however it occurs.
@YATittle posted:I agree on the Rams but Stafford looked awful against the Niners could have had five INTs
That's Stafford. He's got a lot of the Favre/Josh Allen personality. All 3 can make throws that only a handful of QBs in history can make and win games almost by themselves, but all 3 can or did make make some mistakes that keep inferior teams in games longer.

If the Packers get up on them early, the Saints will lay down fast. As someone said earlier, half the team already has their tickets to some Caribbean beach in January.
If the Packers let them hang around into the second half, it could get interesting.
@DurangoDoug posted:That's a Goldie type crushing your wishing for Dave. I just want to see them win however it occurs.
Well, they have been hanging 30 points up lately and I did say I want them to send a message. I've never been compared to Goldie before. Not sure how I feel about that. I'll get a cold beer and let that roll around in my head for a bit.
They sent a message last week....IN Seattle....to the entire NFL. Some people heard it, loud and clear......others are like...."Meh". We'll see mofo's.... we'll see.
That was a Seattle team that had won 4 straight. They are no pushover but they have some problems just like all NFL teams.
Why did you cut off the Social Security question?

It can't happen. Both the Lions and Vikings are 12-2 and play each other in the last game of the season. One of them has to end up at least 13-4. I guess it could happen if they tied in the season finale and both of them ended up 12-4-1, which is obviously highly unlikely.
If it's the Lions, the Packers would lose the tie-breaker. If it's the Vikings, it would likely go fairly deep into the tiebreakers to decide.

Now, what I want to know is .....
Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay and Philly ALL end up 13-4!
NOW do the tiebreaker!!!

That would be some hot take.

It's why I wanted to sweep our division, this season. We've already been swept by Detroit and lost once to the vikings. Win those games and everything changes.
Means the Bengals are big Texans fans this week or Ravens fans next week.

Need that Week 18 game to mean something for the Chiefs. https://t.co/kdrDdipqLX
Strictly based on a football fan perspective, the game would be better with Joe Burrow in the postseason. Especially based on the season he's had.

Unfortunately he would have to bring that hapless team with him
Seeding doesn't matter...a lot of times teams play better on the road. Locked in and focused more. Just get in, and win.

Who cares! Just get him in!
I hear the NFL is "fixed" so he and the hapless should get in, right?

And some teams are able to turn it up a notch come playoff time. MM before the final fall seemed to always have the team ready to play their best ball in the post season, even after middling seasons where they never really seemed to look like a playoff team. No matter what condition the team was in going in, I don't recall every getting blown out in the first round.
I don't follow other teams enough to know if there are any that can do that today.

And Chase.
Their defense deserves some prison time. At least probation.
