I am unsure if the Vikings still have a shot at the playoffs, as I stopped paying attention them once we clinched the division. However, I also think the Packers will have an awesome day on Sunday.
I think last year is still very much in the back of their minds. I don't see MM sitting Rodgers, Matthews etc this year. Primarily because we have a major advantage to play for this time around, but also because last year there was a lot of criticism about how ready our guys were.
I am certain that Aaron Rodgers will tee off and have a hell of a game. I am not sure to what extent, but I would venture a guess of 250+ yards and 2 TDs.
However, I the MOST excited for our run game. I know that sounds strange, as Rodgers is my favorite player (though I love ALL of our Packers.) but Harris and Grant are set for one HELL of a playoff run.
Grant seems to be coming back to his old form, which is great. He seems to be saying "This is why you shouldn't have cut me!" every time he touches the ball! I LOVE that kind of determination! I hope this continues!
Juan Harris reminds me of MJD and Turner out in ATL. He has that same type of build, and seems to run with the same kind of power. He seems to be saying "I am going to be the starter!" whenever he gets a touch! I LOVE it! I know that Harris was recently brought in from elsewhere (Pittsburgh I think?) but it is awesome that he is blossoming here in Green Bay. Just like the aforementioned Ryan Grant!
Also, I am HUGE fan of CM3. He has been back for 2 games and has 3 sacks. I wonder what he would have done if he didn't have to sit out those 4-5 games? I think he will have a HUGE impact in our playoff run!
Any word on Randall Cobb? I hope he is ok. He seemed to be alright when he walked off the field vs. Tenn.
Thanks all!
