Enjoying This Team, This Season

[Fritz]

Well, here we are, one day away from the first round of the playoffs.

This is what it's all about, what we've been waiting for, since the draft ended.

The best feeling in the world is basking in the afterglow of a Packer playoff win, one that occurs without big Packer injuries.

The next best feeling is the anticipation of the game. There's anxiety involved, but hope, too.

The worst feeling in the world is of course the feeling that follows a playoff loss. It's like the world's gone hollow. I instantly stop reading about football altogether for at least three weeks if the Packers lose a playoff game. I don't even want to contemplate that.

I hope this team is ready. I don't want them to come out flat like they did last week. That's a sickening feeling, to watch them look kinda dazed when the other team is all fired up.

I hope the Pack takes care of the ball, and plays hard and within the system.

Yes there are some very knowledgeable experts that have us gaining momentum towords peaking and with Aaron Rodgers who makes receivers look (maybe better that they are) going all the way to winning the Super Bowl. I believe that we need a healthy Randall Cobb but that's compromised with Jordy Nelson having a hammy injury. Our 'D' will solidify now that Clay Matthews is back and it's vital that he stays healthy. Will his hammy hold up?

We're close. I want that number two seed.

I want to see the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field for the NFC Championship. What a great matchup that would be.

GO PACKERS !

Not me. I want those sea chickens bounced out in DC. I want US to go further than that bunch.

I'm looking forward to that game. It should be a real beauty.

Packers slew quite a few demons two years ago; The mighty painful 4th & 26 ogres of Philly, the first PO loss at Lambeau flying fell beasts of Atlanta , da bears and the Steeler knights of darkness'n'gold from the pitts of Burgh.

Shall the legend continue as the purple anal punks of Minnesota are torn asunder or is it to be a double up on mooning the lambs of Lambeau?

Another quest is in order: Minny, San Fran, The SEAHAWKS in the NFC Championship. Slaying the ghosts of this season's past.

One Bird plays poorly on the road (Seattle) and the other plays like crap at home in playoffs (ATL). I think you could very well see the Redskins in the NFC championship game. Packers have to get by two tough teams to get that game at home.

Agree. The road through the NFC this year is brutal.

Well, here we are. The Packers won against Purple Jesus and his cohorts, so now it's on to SF.

Are we going to start feeling that mojo like 2010? Or did we even have any? I recall after beating Philly in a tight game, there were a few complaints and worries amongst the Rats populace. I believe I was one of those.

Lordy, I'd like this team to win this weekend. But just like 2010, they can't seem to catch a break on the injury front. Today, no Cobb, no Nelson, no Saturday practicing. And I am hoping but doubting that Starks will be back for this game. He's the type of runner they need to play against this rugged Niner defense.

I don't know what to think about this game. I feel like it'll be tight. But here are the Packers, one of the four teams left in the NFC.

I'll be down if this team loses, but it won't be the end of the world like it would've felt last weekend. Of course, I say that now, but come game time I'll be worked up, and if they do lose I'll probably jump off a small cliff.

I'm with you. Never want to lose to a divisional team in the playoffs. Now this week, I'm on to, we should beat these guys. They have a guy making his 8th career start and possibly missing their top D-lineman. It's been a weird ride this year.
