Same thing as a majority of our games.

Godgers Godgersing.
Finley dropping.
Defense being poop.

Nope, December 25th for me.

Who else?

GAD and I think someone else on the Bucks board said they do and now we find out Riot is a day before the 26th.

MikeHunt knocked another article out of the park today:

I stopped reading after the title:

It was essentially, "the defense needs to play better into the New Year"

He is terrible.

Also, I've seen some places that homefield doesn't mean a lot to GB. I have to disagree. We've looked better at home than on the road this year:

Margin of victory at home:

8
26
21
38
9
30
14

Every road game this year was a margin of 12 or less, with 4 of the 7 wins being by a TD or less (with one loss by 5). We're also 18-1 in our last 19 home games and have won our last 12 in Lambeau. This is a good thing.

I think the team success on the road last playoff season has lulled many fans (I was one of them) and media into a false sense of security about playing away from Lambeau this year. Rodgers' 11 worst QB ratings in his career have come on the road and one of them was at Chicago in the playoffs last year. Could we win a game this time around if Rodgers put up a 55.4 QB rating? I doubt it because that would mean we'd have to rely heavily on an unreliable defense to carry the team. That won't be as apt to be required now that the team has secured homefield advantage. The only time the Packers may benefit from playing on the road is if it allows their offense to play indoors.
