- Jim Nantz (play-by-play) and Phil Simms (analyst) will call the action from the broadcast booth.

- In Wisconsin, CBS affiliates WFRV (Ch. 5) in Green Bay and WDJT (Ch. 58) in Milwaukee will carry the contest.

INJURY REPORT

-Everyone

COLTS ARRIVE FOR LAMBEAU SHOWDOWN

- Green Bay will look to end a two-game Lambeau Field losing streak Sunday against its first AFC opponent of the season - the Indianapolis Colts.

- Last weekend, the Packers got back on the winning track with a 27-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks to improve to 3-3 and create a three-way tie atop the NFC North.

- Green Bay would like to keep the momentum going, and get a much-needed home win, before it heads into the bye week. Three of its four games following the bye are away from home.

- Despite losing two consecutive games at Lambeau, the Packers have won 10 of their last 13 at the stadium. The Packers have only dropped three consecutive games at Lambeau Field once under McCarthy - his first three home games as Head Coach.

- Standing in their way will be Peyton Manning and the Colts, who make their first appearance at Lambeau Field since 2000.

- The Packers and Baltimore Colts met twice a year from 1953-66, including the 1965 Western Conference Championship, but the two franchises have met just five times in the last 20 seasons.

- The all-time series has exhibited great parity and stands tied at 20-20-1. Green Bay owns a 6-3 advantage in games played at Lambeau Field.

- After the Colts dropped to 1-2 entering their Week 4 bye, they have since responded with two victories. Last Sunday, they defeated the Baltimore Colts 31-3 behind three Manning TD passes - two to Marvin Harrison and one to Reggie Wayne.

Addai out is huge with Pickett hurting especially. Still obviously a huge test for the defense, especially the secondary.

I've been feeling pretty optimistic about this game for some reason--really this game starts a three game stretch that will determine our season and giv us a more accurate read on some of our personnel.

Go Pack!

Huge, huge game. Win and you're 4-3 heading into the bye with a 2 game winning streak and the team finally becoming healthy, as well being guaranteed tied for the division lead. Lose and you have two weeks to think about it, and are heading into Tennessee/Minny under .500.

Huge game.

I agree, this game is a turning point in the season. You can't go into the break under .500 and 1-3 at home.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

We need to take an early lead and bully the Colts around in the first quarter. That Colts D is night and day. When they have a nice lead and know the pass is coming they're tough to beat. Similar to the Bucs. Joe Addai is a special kid, but Rhodes is a tough runner that I wouldn't look past. I'm thinking Rhodes is the x-factor. If he controls the tempo of the game and opens up the playaction we're in big trouble.

Addai's out which should help considerably... I'm not convinced marvin harrison has his mojo completely back. I almost want to say GB needs to go out throwing in spread sets to try and ease into the ground game the 1st series or two. This should be entirely winnable.
You gotta make it sexy! Hips and nips, otherwise I'm not eating.

Dominic Rhodes is still a very capable back.

Just limit the turnovers and penalties, and I see the Packers winning.

The Anthony Gonzalez/Will Blackmon match-up is going to be cause for a headache all day if the Pack doesn't play bracket coverage with Nick Collins helping. I'm confident in our ability to at least contain both Harrison and Wayne man to man w/ Williams and Woodson. But Blackmon could be our downfall today especially with our lack of pass rush flustering a gimpy Manning.

I think we can score points against them but our offense hasn't been high octane against anyone but Detroit this season. The key will be our defense.

Why are they showing the First Down line on first and second down, but not on third?

We're doing what we need to do on offense, long, time-draining possessions. Need to come away with TD's though.

Didn't the Seahawks have a CB with the last name of Jennings last week too?

I can't stand living with the people in my household, they were actully upset that the Packers game on CBS was preventing them from watching the Jets game, and to make matters worse all they do is taunt Aaron Rodgers. :nonono:
