Go Pack! Win by one - that's all I need. Don't think for one minute the Bears aren't going to be looking to end that string of losses - at Lambeau no less.

The Pack gave Darnold a career day. Williams is up. We don't need to see any of that shtuff today.

Cold? Our guys aren't from Green Bay and Wisconsin neither. Yeah... it's cold.

It'd be nice if Big Mike's Boys did us a solid before he gets dumped in Dallas.
Yeah it comes down to who GB plays next week, Philly or the Rams, either on the road.

Both have pros and cons. I'd prefer SoFi - natural turf, good weather, the Rams may be slightly weaker than the Eagles.

No matter. They've played both teams already, although the Rams have gotten a lot better/healthier. Pick em.

I agree, both will be a tough opponent on the road. I would prefer to only have to go through 2 vs 3 teams that beat us, so I would like to go to sunny California instead. Cold weather facing Barkley all day seems more of a daunting task. Both teams have weapons at WR, so that's a wash for me.

Tampa Bay could also be the next Packer opponent, which would be my preference.

We play the Bucs if:

- Packers beat Da Bears
- Rams and Commanders lose
- Tampa Bay beats New Orleans

GB gets the 6th, Washington the 7th. Washington beats Philly, we beats LA, TB beats MN. Washington upsets Detroit, we beat TB. Washington comes to GB for NFCCG... easy peasy.

I saw it online yesterday and forgot about it until the Pregame show brought it up.

Hilarious that the Vikings bought up 1900 tickets for the game tonight. For $2M, it will be interesting to see/hear if they can make a difference.

They tried but just could not be that generous.

If we lose to a bad Bear team this would be the game. No impact on our playoff position and nothing gained by them except a piece of crumb cake.
This was their Super Bowl though. Whatever you think of the Bears, they seem to match up well with us, which could be a concern for the future. I just think the events of the last couple of weeks could have a bad effect on the team's morale and confidence. Sometimes you have to hit bottom before you hit your peak though.


Congrats to all you who didn't get the game
I followed it on Tom Grossi's play by play, I can't imagine that was much better.

Today was why as I and some others eluded to - it WAS not worth it to play some of our mains. Zero difference, we are in and have to win three away games…now who knows what the fallout is from today.

Simply that we are facing the #2 seed in Philly. They are clearly the better team. But we play it like we did last season.

What? No I was in the camp of it made no difference what seed, road is tough regardless rest love, and other starters. We were nearly playing for nothing today that measurably mattered.

Two plays happening at nearly the same time, one in Dallas, one in GB, sealed our fate. Going to Philly is tougher than LA even though both present a challenge. The Packers play better indoors or in warm weather as evidenced today.

I don’t deny that, I just don’t see it worth the risk at all. Either way we are going to have to win three on the road and likely two minimum games against the best three to make it.

I am praying today didn’t cost us the health of some key contributors

Watson is one who can get hurt anywhere anytime. He has the body type. He is almost TOO athletic.
