Packers Ravens Pre Game Chit chat

[Zartan]

Let's wipe the stench of that last game from the palette. As let's pretend last game didn't exist...

The Packers take on The Ravens at home on Saturday night on Peacock. If anyone doesn't have peacock you got time to hopefully nab a free trial to watch the game. Or have other dubious methods...


Hope everyone is going to have a great Christmas

Will it be on a local network or Baltimore channel?

That I am unsure of.

I would assume it would be available in the local TV market.

 

[weeds]

...and it is ... NBC26 in Green Bay

 

[longtimefan]

Vee see box

Always get it!!!

 

[AKCheese]

It wont be on NBC?

Hopefully Harbaugh “forgets” about Henry for this game like the 4th quarter vs Patriots

I live in the Baltimore area and fans down here are still fuming about that calling for Harbaugh's head.

With Lamar on the mend they'll have to force-feed Henry all game long.

These are the kinds of teams that scare me.

First, the Ravens are fighting for their playoff lives. They have to win their final 2 games and hope that the Browns beat the Steelers to get in.

Second, Lamar Jackson. Mobile QB's can be a real problem for Packer defenses. Toss in a team with a really solid RB in Derrick Henry, as well as a solid WR (Flowers) and TE (Andrews) and you have an offense that can just grind out long drives against you.

The Ravens are 6-3 over their last 9 games. Meanwhile, the Packers come in on a 2 game skid. This isn't a must win game for the Packers, but if they lose it, I don't hold out a lot of hope that they can turn this season around and make it very far in the playoffs, if they even make the playoffs.

The Ravens have surprised me this year as I expected them to be better. We might have a good test against Henry. We should be able to move the ball. GoPackGo!

Harbaugh is still a very good coach. And his team has talent. He will devise a game plan. We have to do the same. And we cannot blunder it away in the 4th quarter.

Of course if MN beats the Lions tomorrow this isn't a must win for us. But if we win we can improve our playoff seeding...

 

[Zartan]

The Ravens still are a decent football team, not going to be easy.

If Pack win and secure playoff spot do we rest starters against Vikings

With JJ and their center out along with 2 banged up RBs on a short week I do not look for any favors. But the Vikes are playing for pride. They have had more of a tell tale season than even us. So I hope Ragmar cheers them to victory.

Depends if chicago wins or loses. I don't mind being the 7th seed. Especially if chicago is 2. But I guess we'd rather have home game

I would bet on the wounded starters like Jacobs getting some rest. But only if the division is not in play.

I restarted my Peacock just so I could watch the game on Saturday. The Packers better not disappoint. I'm over the garbage from last week, but they had better have learned some lessons from it.

 

[AKCheese]

I might restart my Peacock. Basically $12-14 to watch the game which chaps my *** I’ve never watched a game at a sports bar. I don’t see how you can sit there for 3+ hours nursing a couple beers. How does that work. Don’t they want to turn those tables over? … and over? I wonder if there’s s way to listen to the radio broadcast online??

 

[gopkrs]

Generally the bars don't care. And if they have food; you could get something at halftime

Since the vikes are already eliminated from the playoffs they are no threat so the ideal situation would be for the vikes to knock off the lions today. That automatically puts us in the playoffs, so the pressure would be off on that front.

If that were to occur then going forward in this situation ive never been a fan of resting players. It changes the normal routine the team is use to and many times they tend to come out flat the next game.
I would like to seem them do what they normally do, prepare properly, play the people you would normally play . If the normal routine would include sitting some guys that are hurting to much and are not ready to suit up then so be it..
I would like to see us head into the playoffs with 2 more wins in the bank if possible . Nothing boosts confidence and elevates team morale like winning.

It just annoys me because I just cancelled it last month. But oh well, I can always cancel it again next month. At least there are a few movies on there I want to see.

You can listen to Wayne and Larry on Sirius Radio.

Not likely, as the Vikes are starting Brosmer at QB. IIRC, his last start he had a QB Rating in the 30's, and would've had a higher rating if he had spiked the ball straight down 30 times. Detroit should easily win... GB needs to take care of their own destiny.

 

[OldSchool101]

I think the Packers need to play Saturday like the #3 seed is on the line. If we Win and Chicago just happens to drop 1 game?

Week 17-18 is currently for the Division and with Chicago playing Detroit and us playing Vikes there’s a glimmer of opportunity to finish strong as a #3 Seed and play the 6 seed at home

If we can lose two in a row (like we just did), we can win two in a row.
