This is the minimum game I needed to feel good about our chances. No team looks all that scary right now. We’ve got a shot.

I wonder how many guys we’re gonna get healthy??

How in the Sam hell does Dallas look so amazing last week than go full McCarthy this week and be totally average?

It's the NFL.

Washington had about 26 guys out with COVID. I played QB for them last week - enough said!

I'm still pissed you didn't see me open on the post route��

When's the last time the Packers had two RBs with over 1000 yards from scrimmage?

I remember Eddie Lee Ivery and Gerry Ellis doing it back in the early 80s, but I can't think of another combo since.

It was a dominant win, but the Vikings went to battle with foam swords and tissue paper shields. Hard to feel anything about the Packers chances after this game.

The bye plus no pressure next week should help, not hurt. I doubt I'd say that with McCarthy, but LaFleur will have them ready.

I think even if we don't get back any of the injured, we're better than any of the others. That and the home field advantage plus maybe getting Jaire or whoever back makes it a strong chance of going all the way. And the Chiefs (and everybody else in the AFC) look beatable too. Assuming we don't lose anybody important to Covid, I think we win it all. And really, I think we could even lose anybody other than Rodgers himself and still win it all.

Man IDK, isn't MILF 1-2 coming off the bye? I always thought Mac was damn good post bye. Overall I'm not super worried about it either way, I think it's more important to not get raped by the covid rules so sit at home and ride the Pelly. We don't need players testing positive and having to miss a game.

3-2. The Packers won the Divisional Round game each of the last two years after getting the bye on Wild Card weekend. The two losses were on the road against the NFC representative in the Super Bowl that year (at SF in 2019 and at TB in 2020).

Ahh good point, I forgot the playoff byes. Either way, I'm feeling confident unless it's Dallas.

Because they have played absolutely nobody this year. Look at their schedule. Who the hell have they beat that is any good? They beat the Pats a long time ago...barely...when Jones was still trying to figure out the correct exit on the team bus. Other than that, the Boys have beaten a bunch of bad teams that turn the ball over a lot. Against teams that take care of the football, the Cowboys lose.

To answer my own question: Jones and Dillon became the first pair of Packer RBs to accomplish this feat together since 1980 (Ivery and Ellis). It was in an article on Packers Wire today.
