GO PACKERS!
Its 130am in Vegas Baby!! Pass the Kool Aid time to end fat mikes season.
Everyone expects the Cowboys to remain dominant at home and win by 10.
No one expected the Packers to be here before Thanksgiving - so it’s playing with house money.
Jones needs 20 touches for 120.
Love will spread the ball to his many receivers.
Barry has to repeat the approach from the last 2 weeks and adjust as needed.
Special teams needs to be perfect.
The realist in me gives the Packers a 25% chance to win. A few lucky breaks or a defensive TD and that moves to a coin flip.
Packers are 5-0 in that stadium. Let’s hope todays the 6th.
Packers 33
Cowgirls 30
Carlson hits a game winner just like Crosby.
Tex - the perfect Packerrat to start this thread. He lives in Texas. Cowboys his second-favorite team (typing that made me puke up in my mouth a little).
He’s on a roll. Bring it on home, Tex.
I’m not at all confident the Packers can stop the Dallas Machine playing at home. But who cares? The Pack made the playoffs in a year no one expected that, and they have a lot of good young players, lots of early-round draft picks coming up, and in a few weeks will have a new defensive coordinator.
What’s not to like?
Go, Pack, Go!!

#Packers WR Christian Watson, out since Dec. 3, will work out pregame to test his hamstring and determine if he can play today, source said. For the first time in a month, there is some optimism that he can go. But the workout is key.
Star CB Jaire Alexander is viewed as 50/50.
Whether he plays or not, all I can say is that Watson better spend his offseason earning his medical degree in hamstringology.
On another topic, I don't know how your weather is in Green Bay, but here in Detroit it's about nine degrees right now. That got me thinking - if you could talk to the Packer players off the record, how many would prefer a road playoff game in Dallas, where I'm guessing the roof will be closed and temps will be reasonable on the field, as opposed to having a playoff game at home in Green Bay, where it's probably about five degrees and windy? I mean, secretly - if no one in the public knew - what would they say, do you think?
Fritz, you're telling me the Lions are not your second favorite team?
The Packers are a team on the rise. I'm thinking they have a decent chance. I'm also thinking (and hoping) whoever wins this game wins the Super Bowl.
I hope Watson plays but they are careful with him (like they weren't the last time he got back), both for future games in the playoffs and also because the receiving game has been fine without him playing.
You can have a secondary team only if in AFC. Those are the rules
If I was to have a second favorite team I think it'd have to be the Steelers.
Old school team, run well, great tradition, tough, hard-nosed team.
I kinda' like the Bills nowadays, too.
But fuck the rest of the NFC.
We should have known to put Tex on this job sooner!? When times are tough and it looks like hope is lost, hopefully Tex will rise to the challenge and bring us back to glory!! I don’t know if we can over play the hand. That’s tempting fate. But in a pinch, it should be 100%
Obligatory game day post.
To paraphrase Alphaville and Oldbutnotdeadyet, I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Hopefully, Love drops the figurative bomb on Dallas.
I will call-in with a loss. If they can me from the burger joint, so be it.

Power to the Packers!
I don’t love spending 30 minutes prepping fresh veggies and browning meat. But once everything is in the crock pot, it’s a blast to play around with the spices until the chili is just right! Every hour stopping by to smell and taste to see if everything is in track! That’s so damn satisfying!!
Anyone have any special ingredients??
I use less beans and black beans because they’re not as strong
I add corn because there are fewer beans and I still want that satisfying carb feeling when you eat
I use a lot of meat
I use a lot of chopped onion, green pepper, Jalepenos, habeneros, celery.
The spices I use are salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, coriander, cocoa, garlic powder
I put everything in the crockpot with tomato sauce, and canned diced tomatoes
I play around for 3 hours until it tasted right
Then the next day I put it back on the crock pot 3 hours before it’s time to eat. I add a second round of chopped veggies (no celery this time because it stays too hard if put in too late.) I like that late round of veggies because it adds a layer of a more fresh and less softened veggie crunch to the other flavors that are mixed throughout.
I sliced up some mangos this time in case people want a sweet and hot dynamic. It tasted pretty damn good to be honest and is a nice mix up from a traditional cheese and sour cream bowl!
Anyway, I freaking love chili and it’s so much fun to play around with! Anyone got any little special tips and tricks to your famous chili recipes. I try something a little different most of the time, just to see what works.
Go Pack Go!
