It’s the Battle of the Bays!
Today’s contest of (6-7) and heavily injured teams normally wouldn’t mean too much in the NFL.
But TB is sitting atop the parity pile in the NFC South.
And GB is sitting along side 4 other (6-7) teams for the chance to take the last wildcards.
In reality - the playoffs start today folks!
Key questions:
But most importantly for a young Packers team - are they driving while looking through the rear view mirror? Love has brought the team back many times in the 4th Q only to leave w/ a couple comebacks. What kinda game would we be talking about had we beaten the Giants (or the other 4 close losses)?
Point of emphasis:
It’s impossible to predict how a young, injured team will play. Will we come out dominating on offense and beating Todd Rundgren’s drum all day or start preparing for the draft? Because a loss today may be the nail in the 2023 coffin.
Green Bay 28
Tampa Bay 23
Love holds onto this week’s 4th q comeback and the defense does just enough to keep us in the playoff discussion.
Go pack!

Key questions:
- Will Aaron Jones come back and get limited action - testing the MCL on a non frozen tundra?
- Will the porous Packers rushing defense again leave Love and co playing from behind on a short clock? TB’s RB, White, has had a productive month and could be the key today.
- Which injured team can foster a stronger squad? With folks like Quay, Savage, Stokes and Jaire (bruised vag) all questionable on one Defense and Vita Vea, Davis and others hurt for TB’s D.

Point of emphasis:
- Ole Joey ‘bag of shit’ Barry better figure a way to generate any pressure and keep White in check.
- Love and his injured offense has to start fast and be in a race to 28+ points.
- And for fucks sake - can we just not end up talking about Special Teams blunders or referee’s outsized impacts on games?
