Fight or flight? Not really.

Lose the game and the Pack still has an excellent chance for their 3rd straight 7th seed in the NFC playoffs.

I think if you look at plays from any teams perspective you will find Ref errors. Not an easy job to have. I also think every team if you want to win you have to beat the refs. No excuses!

Yea Lare....

It's the refs fault if they lose.

'Guessing' isn't always the most intelligent way to go through life.
Just sayin.
***********
I have thumbs down someone, one time in my life (last week over 'the refs are to blame').

This is the second, and counting, to do the same on every 'Chicago Bear fans reasoning' for a Packer loss in the future.

Don't be that guy.

At least we won't have to worry about non-calls against Micah Parsons.

Death, taxes, and the refs and/or the NFL has it in for the Green Bay Packers.

I know there are a number of folks on here that seem to believe that there is some conspiracy against the Packers, pretty much anytime they lose a game, whether it's from a certain referee crew, or from the NFL itself. I could never understand the rationale for why anyone would feel that way as it seems to defy any kind of logic I can come up with.

I would love for anybody on here that thinks that way to give me, at least a somewhat rational reason, why they feel that's actually a thing.

Not trying to be snarky here . I'm really curious.

A preemptive ref excuse. At least wait until the game is over to blame the refs.

You beat me to this, Greg.

Greg is correct.....

If the goal is 'making the playoffs'

We (Packer Nation) had higher goals in the past, just like the Packer teams had in the 90's, 2,000's

I still have higher goals (expectations) but i am only one voice.

take care of business....there is a good chance the Lions win out looking at their schedule....Bears are their toughest opponent left, hate to have the Packer season go down to watching that lions-bears game for a chance to slide into the playoffs....Dont let other teams decide for you...

It's Corey. I usually just skip his articles.

I dunno NP, Cox has had the full three weeks of practice time to get "game ready". He may be able to take on more than a limited number of snaps. I am hoping he comes out with his hair on fire and gives the Packer D a lift.

The Packers are notorious for managing reps in practice. I'm pretty sure that's all it was for LVN...and it was Tuesday, not Thursday. LVN has no injury designation for the game.

Every so often, NickP makes a post i'm impressed with, including the mentality of............ " No excuses, just GET IT DONE!"

A winning mentality. Yea baby!!
************
Speaking of which....maybe the Packers lose...i don't know, no guarantee's in the NFL.
But....before they play the game, i'm not going to sing doom and gloom.
F that.

From what I read, PFF had LVN rated as the 12th best edge on pressure rate last year. We’ll see, but I think his high draft status makes him a punching bag for fans. I think he’s better than some give him credit for and still has potential to get better. Com on LVN have a Jordy like end of his 3rd year in the NFL!

Also, I love some Cox…

I'll be watching Cooper & Quay closely this game. They need to wrap-up when they have a tackle opportunity. Remember when Cox played in a Bears game and he never bit on the fake hand-off for roll-out and had a deep sack. Would love to see that type of focus watching for the backside rollout by Williams.

"Maybe the defense creates turnovers, possibly scoring turnovers i.e. pick 6, fumble recovery."

The Packers are 7-0 when they are + and are 1-1 when they are even in TOs this year. That means they're 1-3-1 when they lose the TO battle. The Bears are 9-0 when they are + in TOs, but even (1-2) or minus (0-2) is a problem for them. TOs are always a pretty good indicator of success. I agree that taking care of the ball and forcing TOs will be key tonight.

1 thumbs down to my (positive) post.

I guess there is crying in football....lol
Here anyway.

Of all those 'maybes', most of which are doable, the idea of the Special (Needs) teams making a positive contribution would be the biggest shocket.

They got hands on him several times two weeks ago and failed to bring him down. They need to bring him down when they get hands on him today.

"It's more important to keep Caleb contained than blitzing he's better scrambling than in the pocket"

Does that remind anyone of someone we knew?
Although the guy i'm reminded of was pretty damn good at doing both.
*************
GBPfan.....this is the kind of opportunity a QB could have, to make a statement not only with us, but around the NFL.
A lot of eyes on this game..

Great players are known to have great games, that's why we call them 'great'.
Jordan....you're up!!

Good post GBPfan

His highest completion % is from the pocket. When pressured in the pocket his accuracy declines to around 44%.
His tendency is to roll right when pressured, looking for the check down guy. He is less accurate on the move going deep. If he moves left, the play is usually designed to vector left with a trail guy and his accuracy moving declines significantly.

If the goal is winning the division, winning this game doesn't guarantee the division nor is it the only path to winning the division, but it makes it much easier. The playoff race between Chicago, GB, Detroit, and SF for three spots will be an interesting one down the stretch.

Assuming Kinnard is ready to go, people are more concerned about the Tom injury than I am, but I expect the Bears to focus on hitting that side in their pass rush--which isn't very good. Yes, they sacked Sanders 5 times last week, but the Browns are beat up and starting 3 second stringers and their third C on their OL. The Packers should be able to throw tonight.

Start fast and keep punching. If the Packers have to play from behind, this could be a tough night.

I would expect nothing else also.

But if they don't....lol
I usually call it like i see it 🤷‍♂️

Officiating needs to improve league wide. I just hope it’s relatively consistent tonight.

Lose this game and the heat is back on the burner for MLF...hope he comes up with a great game plan..same goes for Hafley...soft zone again?? Hope not...

I won’t be…..he was impressive last year!

I agree 61! A little surprised, the Pack dropped two NTs to inactive given the Bears may try to wear down the Pack D by running the ball, with 2 of their top WRs down.

Secondly, kinda wondering if Kinnard could play our 3rd tight end, meaning Morgan is playing some right tackle.

Go PACK!!

Oh but he got up bent over, for a hand injury? He is a wart, drops every other pass. Whats with our wide receivers not running to the middle of the field but its all sideline crap unless its a tight end or running back.

Poor wife a packer fan had to watch this fiasco. I told her the stupider team lost today. Hafwits defense that everyone braggs about did it again allowing a QB at the last minute realize, wow you can pass the shit out of this team, just throw over the middle into the zone and you will move the freekin ball all day.
Flacco found that out too late but almost saved the day for the lowly bungels against us, and if the moron Nixon hadnt made a miraculus interception against Jameis an average QB who looked hall of fame against us we wouldnt even be in the mix.
Bottom line I said the pack couldnt beat the vikes lions or bears and three loses takes them out.
Too many stupid asses and guys trying to play pass d that cant.
Last I can say for sure Willis makes Love look foolish. He sucks.
