Coin flip game IMO.

TB isn't what they were, but they still have talent. This game will have playoff implications so I expect both teams to come out swinging.

Mayfield was foul as snake shit the last two times he played at Lambeau, although it should be noted that he played with a broken shoulder when the Dog Pounding Fucks came to town and he was in his 2nd week with the Sheepfucks last season.

Hopefully Mayfield’s shit doesn’t change this week. I will boycott sophistry and sophistication for a year if the Packers lose to a team quarterbacked by a damn Redcoat.

Bucs have one of the best pass catching duos in the NFL (but not in their own state). However, even a Joe Barely D can pick Baker off at least once. We can and should beat this team. Wish we weren't on a short week, but last night better be a wakeup call for this young team. The only bye week in the NFL is the one with no opponent on the schedule.

Packers signed WR Thyrick Pitts to the practice squad

He’s a freak listed at 6’2 200+ lbs who ran a 4.45.

Bears and Pats almost signed him to active roster a couple times and packers have had their eye on him for a while.

Packers may have to activate Grant DuBose and/or Bo Melton from the practice squad this week.

I've been wondering abut DuBose. A lot of rats liked him coming out of college. But Bo Melton probably has the edge because he's been around longer.

CBS Single - Much of the country will see Bucs at Packers. Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber and Matt Ryan with the call. Chicago area and much of west, including Alaska will get San Francisco at Arizona (Late). Ian Eagle and Charles Davis with the call. Much of northeast and south will get New York Jets at Miami. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo with the call.

Melton has the speed to play the Reed role if Reed is out. DuBose is probably more similar to Wicks.

[ThunderDan]

So glad we don't have Suck and Buck again with the call. After Monday night's game, I am so glad they moved from FOX so we don't have to listen to them more than once or twice a year.

[Joemailman]

One piece of good news is that while Reed is on the injury report, he is not listed for a concussion as had been reported.

[Fritz]

Every week is the same: our injury report is about twice as long as our opponent’s.

Fire someone!!

The guy who puts together those injury reports has to go.

With that receiving tandem, this would be the ideal game for Alexander to return. I think Evans is a big, big WR, but still, having Alexander back would greatly improve this team's chances.

Love clearly needs a bounce-back game. Hell, the whole team does.

If Tampa Bay can come to Green Bay in December and beat you with Baker Mayfield, then you're not worthy of a playoff spot anyway.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fire someone!!

If they canned me from the burger joint, would said canning be bittersweet, a blessing in disguise or sheer freedom?

I am too damn old to be flipping burgers for $15/hr.

I believe this is the second (maybe third?) Packer game this season not to be carried in the Chicagoland market.

The wife and I will be taking the approximately 7-minute drive to watch the game at Dukes Northwood sports tavern, a Wisconsin themed joint in enemy territory, replete with an abundance of awesome Packer memorabilia. And a bit of an ironic twist; Dukes is co-owned by Walter Payton's son Jarrett Payton.

[QBME]

Who is an awesome individual.

[Fritz]

It will be interesting to see what Love can do on Sunday.

[Tony Oday]

Well now I can see the website on Chrome!

The Pack are still in the playoffs, I was wrong about Love, we win out but get crushed in the playoffs and Barry is fired

Dillon has a broken thumb. They did not report which hand.

The look on his face implies it was his masturbating hand.
