Outside of the 'any given sunday' reality of the NFL, there's little reason to be worried about the Packers. They are a fringe playoff team and we have advantages across the board in comparison. Getting the 2 seed is huge because of the second home game. It would be a whole lot better to be guaranteed to play that second round game at home and then potentially travel to Philly, than it would be to have back to back road playoff games. That said, I don't think anyone would be surprised if Minnesota loses in the first round and renders this moot.

If the Packers somehow got matched up with the 49ers, Rodgers might just stay home. Dude can't buy a win against SF, and doesn't look like that much will change this year.

Most said the same thing about us against the Rams last year. They have nothing to lose, no expectations.

Yea the Packers will be playing that game like a wounded animal. A no holds barred approach with Lafleur letting Rodgers toss the ball around in the backyard. It's true we have an advantage in every position group EXCEPT the biggest one….QUARTERBACK. I'd rather avoid playing the Packers and getting upset in the first game

I expect he will do alright. I think Iowa gets pretty chilly and windy. We'll see!

It does.

Seattle at night is pretty cold. Fair to say he played well

There's a difference between Seattle cold and mid-west cold.

I think Brock will be fine in cold weather.

He'll change his mind when he sees Purdy do this for a touchdown.

If somehow we play the Cowboys again, everyone should watch this video.... makes me want to run through a VIBRAINIUM WALL

Yeah without Adams they just don't scare me. That run defense is also really bad which plays in our favor.

I had the craziest dream last night. We played the Cowboys and at halftime we were up 39-2. Then my phone glitched out so badly and I got pissed and broke it in half. Then I was able to get to a TV and by that time, we were down 41-39 and we looked like the Keystone Cops. Brock got a crazy concussion and flipped over upside down and started doing a caterpillar walk and Kittle was on the ground eye-to-eye with him and started screaming because he saw his eyes rolling back. Guys were chasing and fighting over balls that were incomplete. Just completely losing it mentally.

Interpretation: Don't play the Cowboys in the playoffs. LOL

Well 9ers hit number 1 first time this season. Peaking at the right time. Let's keep it going.

9ers

It feels like we have dominated Rodgers and the Packers for a long time now...... but I hear ya.

Gotta feel good about Vikings @ Packers this weekend. That's very likely an L for Vikings.

Looks like it will be clear and in the 30's, so the Vikings lucked out a little there.
