It is a playoff game, for both teams, and they know it.

I've never associated the 2007 season with "magical". Yes, we had a lot of things break our way and we went 13-3, but the season ended the way I figured it would and then we had all the faux retirement and TV stuff and all the bitterness that followed.

We should have gone to the Super Bowl that year, just like we should have in 2014. When you get that close and then lay a turd, I can't call that magical.

Thanks again for your past, Tony. For some reason the video is blocked based on NFL content.

The present is a little less clear.

As for the future?

Just beat um!

One game at a time.

Hopefully the Pack fans will see what a sound defense looks like and what happens when you pair a tough innovative d coach with players who can play. Their pass rush is very good, corners are great tacklers and the Safeties are hard tacklers.
The Vikes D swarms to the ball so you see very little yardage after the catch and rarely is there someone just wide open with no one around them.
No the Pack Fans are in for a treat being able to see what a real defense should look like.
PS: Dont know if the Vikes 4th, 5thj or 6th running back will be playing but they have a raft of them, all quick with good hands. Not just two guys who trade off being hurt all the time. Pathetic really
Packers better get used to being at the bottom on the heap for a few years until they can get a GM who knows talent, how to draft and where free agents lurch for the picking. Stokes, Ford, Savage, Ballentine and valentine arent saving this team from itself.

I've been a fan of jaire alexander, but it's getting a little scary.
Hope he gets his turds together or we'll end up trading him for a warm body to clear the smell from the locker room that he's beginning to emit.
GPG!

J Alexander suspended 1 game
Selfish diva

Maybe JB should put two game plans together. It seems like the D can hold serve for some stretches (see first half against Carolina) before getting worse and worse as the game goes on. JB has no ability to make adjustments, so maybe switching to a different game plan can take the place of adjustments. Pressure?! JB's game plans are the antithesis of pressure, especially on 3rd and manageable (any down, any distance or any amount of time).

Love seems to be heating up. The return of Wicks and Reed will be most important as the offense will probably have to score 30+ again to get the win. Why? JB's defense will probably turn Nick Mullins (or other MN starter) into Superbowl Nick Foley.

I could care less that Alexander is suspended. He's rarely played this season and is nothing like his former self. I throw Stokes into that classification as well.

I would rather see Valentine and Ballantine on the corners. At least they're aggressive. And I'd try giving Owen's a lot of snaps. But god only knows what Barry has in store for us this week?

So the Packers are preparing for a HUGE game Sunday and now we know that they will be without CB Jaire Alexander due to his self inflicted suspension today. That's right self inflicted. The Packers didn't suspend Jaire Alexander.... Jaire Alexander suspended Jaire Alexander !
This player took it upon himself to make him a captain and felt he had the right to do that because.........it's his hometown so ...why not....right HUH!?! So he trots out for the coin toss and felt entitled to call the toss and not the ACTUAL real game Packer captains.
To further F- up this already F- Ed up situation even more. Alexander says to the ref " we want to play defense" WHAA??
BRILLIANT ...that would mean the Packers would have had to kickoff to start the game AND to start the 3rd QTR. That very well could have cost the Packers a W.
You can't make this up !!!
This blatant and clear act of insubordination insured this response from the origination. But make no mistake about it. Alexander did this to himself. And hurt this team as they face the Vikings in an elimination game Sunday night.
If anything that this whole embarrassing situation shows is that this team has a respect issue. SMH
You have a highly paid, highly talented and well liked player go above the coaches ,team mates and organization to put HIS needs above anything else. Is this the general mentality in the locker room??
Sure hope not. But if this is a symptom of the dysfunction we see on this mess of a defense or does it extend to other veterans on this roster too?? If J Love pulls this game out despite this pitiful defense and selfishness of others. Wow. Good luck#10!

Would would Vince do ?

I just read that Mike Zimmer is looking for another DC coaching job for next year. Shitcan Barry right now and hire him. We still probably won't make the playoffs, but the end of the year would sure be interesting. He should be at the top of the list right now.

From 2014 until he was fired in 2021, the Viqueens had the 4th best defense in the NFL.

The hope was that Alexander will step up to his contract and talent and maintain Jefferson. The rest we could work out. Now I don't see it. Or maybe I am afraid to watch it. This soft D with secondary problems facing the top 3 receiver, hungry to play after injury. I hope we will survive it, nothing else is to say.
