Packers are all but out, which is nice.

I heard Peppers let up on Rodgers so he wouldn't hurt him.

That is BS IMO. If he suits up he shouldn't look for special treatment. I hope they leave him in so Barr can have him sh*tting himself after he called it a dirty hit.

Do we still have the tie breaker over Philly for the #1 seed? Packers without Rodgers and Chicago to finish off the season should be 2 pretty easy wins for us. Philly didnt look all that great against the Giants this past week. They maybe able to pull of a victory over Oakland but should have a pretty difficult game to finish the season with Dallas, especially if Dallas is still fighting for a playoff spot.

Philly has clinched the tiebreaker. We’d need to win 2 and they would need to lose 2

good news that rodgers is out, still will be tough though, in lambeau and they won't be rolling over for us

hopefully we can get lucky with philly losing out but i'm fine with the 2 seed if that's what we end up with

Not exactly an impressive win, but I will take it

yeah take what you can get on a frigid night in lambeau

what the heck was the deal with the refs and the phantom first down call? i was traveling so i only heard it on the radio. one side of the field called a 1st down but the other didn't? and how can they go back a play after the next one started?

I think the ref that spotted the ball called it a first down even though it clearly wasn't. The down markers were accurate though. Ultimately you have a situation where 2 refs made different calls, but I think you have to go with the one that was right. It wasn't fair to the Vikings, but it probably was the most fair thing you could do at that point.

ok, the radio guys made it sound like the spot was pretty close

no elflein, i don't like this

3rd string center? with easton already out...

if our offensive line falls apart on us now

Berger can play center, and we have a couple guys who can fill in at guard. Elflein should be back for the playoffs.

Bye clinched. Any preference on who we play?

hermes · Post #115 » by **hermes** » Mon Jan 1, 2018 5:30 pm

i think i'm scared most of the saints, and maybe the rams second (although they were rolling when we last played them too and smoked them - i guess this time i'd figure they'd try running gurley more)

the panthers might be the team i'd want, it would be a rematch but this time at home and we are unlikely to play as poorly as we did the first time around (when we still almost won!)

hermes · Post #116 » by **hermes** » Mon Jan 1, 2018 5:31 pm

big key for the bye week is getting everyone healthy (xavier, offensive line)

also need to shore up pass protection keenum has been getting sacked/hit a lot more lately then when we started our big run. probably lines up with the injuries up front

I agree with that order, mainly since the Saints have the most experienced and proven QB. Cam seems to be all over the place lately and Goff is unproven in the postseason.

hermes · Post #118 » by **hermes** » Tue Jan 2, 2018 1:23 am

that's a good point on postseason experience. saints have been there, panthers have too

the whole rams team is inexperienced not just goff, gurley and the coach is too

hermes · Post #119 » by **hermes** » Sun Jan 7, 2018 3:03 pm

well next opponent won't be the rams

kind of surprising the underdogs won both games

hermes · Post #120 » by **hermes** » Mon Jan 8, 2018 1:30 am

of course its the saints, the team i think most people wanted to avoid

oh well, we beat them once - lets do it again!
