      Take down eagles then lions and wrap it up with the Vikings. Call it the revenge tour. Steelers in the SB and it’ll be a repeat of 2010

        Barkley runs for 128 yards for 214 total yards and 4 TDs, Love doesn't make it through the game.
        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          This would be my dream scenario.


          But can the Packers' defense even slow down the Iggles? God knows the Packer offense is not hitting on all cylinders. Might be firing on two.

          MLF's play calling also seems dull.

          The whole team just seems kinda stuck in mud. Not what you want heading into Philly.

            Oh so Willis comes in and wins it. That will work.

              Mad, you saw Willis make some plays, but you also saw him not throw the ball away on a play he ought to have, and you saw him unaware of a rusher screaming into him. He's got lots of talent - sometimes I wonder if he could be better than Jordan Love - but he's not ready for playoff football yet. Dude does play physically, and he's got a rocket for an arm.

                The first thing the Packers need to do is defer if they win the toss.
                No more of this taking the ball first crap.

                    Is Hurts practicing? if he's not, then it's pretty serious. Doubs and Wyatt practiced while in the protocol.
                    I think Hurts will play. Don't know how rusty he'll be.

                    After losing to MIN and CHI consecutively, hard to feel optimistic about this game.

                      Man, I wish I could believe. Maybe later in the week I can find some kool-aid.

                        If he can/is allowed to play, he'll play. Concussions are tricky business and can keep a guy out for weeks. He has to complete the protocol.

                            He might play but doesn’t sound like he will be 100. I am starting to like this game. Can we get someone to set up Siriannin so he throws a shit fit again?

                              This is a team that can't beat the shitty Bears; how could you predict we would beat the Eagles ?
