Vikings have claimed former Browns RB Ben Tate, per @FieldYates.
Why does it feel like the games over?
Christ, Perry is a glass Joe.
Clay isn't far behind.
Aaron Rodgers doesn't have no stinkin trap games.
Game forecast:
36 Degrees. Rain/Sleet. Light winds. By 4th Quarter, changing to all snow (light).
They're not dropping 50 on Minnesota. They better win this game though
Green Bay Packers guards Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang returned to practice Thursday, three days before the team travels for a game at the Minnesota Vikings.
Sitton and Lang were held out of practice Wednesday. Their rotation mirrored last week, when the two guards rode stationary bikes Wednesday and practiced Thursday.
Sitton (toe) and Lang (ankle) were injured in the Packers' loss to the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 26, but they've played in both of Green Bay's blowout home wins against the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles since.
Tight end Brandon Bostick (hip) and outside linebacker Nick Perry (shoulder) rode stationary bikes during the media's opening viewing period at the beginning of practice. Cornerback Jarrett Bush (groin) was also held out.
After practicing Wednesday with a minor groin injury, outside linebacker Clay Matthews once again practiced Thursday. So did fellow outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott (hamstring).
@RobDemovsky: McCarthy: "Clay was limited. I don't know exactly how many reps. But he looked good in his work today."
@WesHod: MM on Lang/Sitton plan: It's clearly week-to-week. TJ and Josh have different injuries. That's something that's evaluated throughout week.
@RobDemovsky: MM on Nick Perry: "He's getting better, is what they told me. Get through tomorrow and see what he can on Saturday."
@WesHod: MM on Bostick's chances for Sunday: I watched him work a little today. Think it would be a long shot.
Hope that Clay is OK on Sunday and that Perry can go. I want to see Teddy Bilgewater throw 5 INTs.
@JeffAshPG: #TBT to the 1st #Packers #Vikings game in Minnesota, 10/22/1961 at the Met. The Vikings' band played from a ship.
Fast forward 20 years and those Minnesotans knew exactly how to close the Old Met down. By tearing the place to ****ing pieces and engaging in bare knuckle fistacuffs (5:21 mark) The guy up on the scoreboard prying the speakers loose is an all timer.
You stay classy Minnesota!
Packers 33 Vikes 7 in that 1961 game.....I watched, black and white TV, Ray Scott, heaven.
Two significant defensive adjustments that the #Packers have made so far this season: 1. Scrapping the 2-5 defense & 2. Putting Clay at ILB.
Wasn't Peppers signed to be the "elephant" DE/LB hybrid to make the 5-2 more successful?
I am digging the NASCAR package though.
Somebody figured out the future HOFer can probably play at multiple positions.
I'll take "People not named Moss" for $500 Alex.

Lacy going to MLB?
@Packerpedia: With a win Sunday Mike McCarthy would pass Vince Lombardi for 2nd-most regular season wins in #Packers history, behind only Curly Lambeau.
The Perry injury is concerning. He is much better in run support than Neal and I imagine the Bikes will commit to running. It will be interesting to see how they handle this if he can't go.
Funny video about the Met, around the 6:15 mark, "Get out of here, ya creep!" Bleeeeeeeeeeep!
Too wimpy to drive over by Minneapolis if it isn't much of a contest.

"You know Charlie Walser? Has the place east of Sanderson? Well you know how they used to slaughter beeves, hit 'em with a maul right here to stun 'em... and then up and slit their throats?
Well here Charlie has one trussed up and all set to drain him and the beef comes to. It starts thrashing around, six hundred pounds of very pissed-off livestock if you'll pardon me... Charlie grabs his gun there to shoot the damn thing in the head but what with the swingin' and twistin' it's a glance-shot and ricochets around and comes back hits Charlie in the shoulder. You go see Charlie, he still can't reach up with his right hand for his hat...Point bein', even in the contest between man and steer the issue is not certain."
So, I'm tendin' bar there at Ecklund and Swedlin's last Tuesday, and this little guy's drinkin' and he says, "So where can a guy find some action? I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake." And I says, "What kinda action?" and he says, "Woman action, what do I look like?" And I says, "Well, what do I look like? I don't arrange that kinda thing," and he says, "But I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake," and I says, "Well, this ain't that kinda place."
So he angrily says, "Oh I get it, so you think I'm some kinda crazy jerk for askin'!" only he doesn't use the word "jerk."
And then he calls me a jerk, and says that the last guy who thought he was a jerk is dead now. So I don't say nothin' and he says, "What do ya think about that?" So I says, "Well, that don't sound like too good a deal for him, then." And he says, "Yah, that guy's dead, and I don't mean of old age." And then he just pays his tab and walks out saying, "Geez, I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake!"
So, ya know, he's drinkin', so I don't think a whole great deal of it, but Mrs. Mohra heard about the homicides down here last week and she thought I should call it in.
So... I called it in. End o' story.
Datone Jones was added to the injury report today. Turned his ankle(same one he originally injured) and is now Questionable for Sunday's game

#Packers injury report vs. Vikings: Perry - Questionable Bush - Quest Bostick - OUT Datone - Quest Matthews - Prob Sitton -Prob Lang -Prob
Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod <small class="time">3 minutes ago</small>
MM on Perry: He's improving. Just probably get out there tomorrow and get through practice. Limited if we get to that
Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod <small class="time">2 minutes ago</small>
MM on Datone Jones: Turned his ankle yesterday. We'll see how tomorrow goes. It was same ankle injury as before
Datone must've been sharing seconds with Bostick. He's turning into Da-done.
Looks like we may finally see some significant time from Elliott.

The TV series was even better, imo
Did it star Woody ****ing Harrelson?

No,but great idea for season 2.
You dinks just won't give this guy a chance, will you?
People don't give Will Farrell a chance?
Since the Chicago Bears game in week 4, the Packers defense has forced 17 turnovers. #Packers

I don't see him as a good Negan.
Worth noting. Eddie Lacy is averaging less than 13 carries / game after 10 weeks. His yards / carry is 4.2. Up from his rookie year. He's never carried the ball more than 17 times this year.
Those are some fresh legs in late November. Oh yeah, he's averaging 12 yards per reception.
