    Most of the country sees the game. Thom Brennaman and Troy Aikman with the call. Buck must be doing baseball.

    I noticed in Michigan LP gets the Lions/Saints (Green) and UP gets the Packers. Is that always the case?

    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      BASTARDS! Someone changed the listing for the Philly area. I checked Monday night and my guide said Packers/Vikings. NOW, it has the Redskins/49ers.

        The game day thread won't be the same without your wit and charm.

          I would sit Montgomery for another week.
          It will be interesting to see if Bakh or Burnett plays.

            I would sit Montgomery for the next 14 games.

Packers leadership needs to makes sure that doesn't happen. i've got a feeling this is going to be knock-down drag-out because the Packers will take a while to get serious.
              I don't see a letdown. Packers lost there last year and I'm sure they haven't forgotten it. I do see a tough game though because they're facing a desperate opponent. If the Vikings lose, they'll be down 2 games to the Packers with a game yet to be played at Lambeau. Vikings have already lost at home to the Lions. They can hardly afford another home division loss. This is pretty much a must-win situation for them, and they'll play like it.

                  Packers CB Kevin King has made progress through the concussion protocol, coach Mike McCarthy said. But no word on whether he's advanced enough to do some work on the practice field.

                  McCarthy on Ty Montgomery: "The plan is to practice today and see how he progresses."

                  David Bakhtiari is feeling better and looked good and practiced well yesterday, coach Mike McCarthy said. Could he play Sunday at Minnesota for the first time since his Week 1 hamstring injury? "We'll see what he's able to do today," McCarthy said.

                    Listen, I honestly think they should rest Monty and his ribs. Those need to be healed up good for the stretch run. Even if he is RB #2 or third down guy, they will need him down the road.

                    And my advice is not because I just picked up Aaron Jones in FF.
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      You gotta get somebody in eastern WI a Sling Box so you can stream the Packers games from his cable/satellite service via the internet. We get all the Packers games not shown nationally this way (plus Brewers, Bucks and Badgers).

                        No, we should use Ty as our change of pace back and let him give Jones a breather.

                          This all seems like the perfect setup for one of those games in which the Vikes come out flying around and hitting, crisp and sharp, and the Packers look lost and dazed. Vikes pile up points, Packer fans swear and throw beer cans at the TV, the word "Fat" appears with increasing frequency in front of the word "Mike," and by halftime the Packers have a measly field goal and we're all wondering WTF.

                          What happens in the second half, I do not know.

                            Sounds like the game day thread from last week against Dallas.
                            But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                              Ya, but question is when do they bring him back? Wait till he is fully healed? Broken ribs take a couple months.

                              I think Montgomery's injury is a bigger loss than is appreciated. You really need to healthy backs who can produce every game.

                                He can't block...I would rather have Rip back there.
