At least I won't have to work on Monday for New Years holiday but yeah, I don't like night games either. It makes for a long Monday at work.

I was listening to Larivee post game and he said the Packers are sitting in the catbird seat because the Lions are caught in between a rock and a hard place in whether how much to play their regulars against Dallas. On the one hand, the game doesn't mean anything to them as far as a division title but means everything to them as far as a wild card birth. In addition the Packers will get two more days rest than them.

Yeah, I don't think the Lions can afford to tank this game. No it won't win them the division, but if they drop it and drop to 9-6, and then lose to us next week plus the Redskins upsetting the Giants, they could go from being in contention for a no. 2 playoff seed to being out of the playoffs in just 3 weeks. So .... I'm thinking they go into Dallas playing to win.

All those broken legs by qbs yesterday. Can there by one more Monday night? Preferably Stafford? Not to serious tho...just enough to miss the last part of the season. I'm still holding on to hope that Dallas implodes in the playoffs.

I'm tired of this way of thinking that we need to rely on other teams missing starters in order to beat them. FFS let's beat them at full strength and that way nobody has any excuses.

If the Redskins lose to the Giants next Sunday , we should be in. Should. SOV with Tampa and all that, but we should have it. I'm sure there's a combination of results that could determine otherwise but right now we have the advantage.

If the Redskins beat the Giants, it's division title or going home for us.

But I don't want to go home!

Game is officially flexed to Sunday Night.

Packers 38-35. Last minute field goal.

You forgot to mention that happens after a 61-yard hail mary by Rodgers to Rodgers on third and 59.

Don't jinx it! :eek:

I think the Lions can clinch a wild card playoff spot with a win over Dallas.

Yup, at that point the Redskins and Bucs would not get in over them.

Don't worry, I didn't say fourth and 59.

Whew! But, wait a minute! Either way that would mean the nearest DBs will be at least 69 yards deep when the reception is made, right? :sick:

Darn -- I have a Capitals Hockey game my kids got me tickets too for a present, so I've got to go to that. It seems very likely it will be flexed later, and I need to leave early to get downtown and go to a restaurant, so I'll miss a good part of the game, unless we find a sports bar that has it on. Guess I'll be checking my iPhone a lot for updates.

Head over to Hamilton's after the Caps game. It's about a mile from Verizon Center. It will be standing room only after the game starts, but all Packer fans. Great place to go for the games.

If Detroit loses to Dallas tomorrow then the Redskins game is also big for them too. If the Redskins were to win then the game Sunday night would really be the first playoff game because whoever loses won't be playing for the playoffs. And if Atlanta loses next week too then the Lions would be playing for the second seed.

And we will know our fate by kickoff.

I feel good that Giants will beat Redskins. I do not think another clunker after this week.

Personally I think Dallas will be playing to win and will beat the Lions.

Yes, The Giants need to reestablish their credibility after that loss in Philly.......

Dallas needs to keep an edge on their players....can't rest them for three weeks.

Well, with a Sunday night start I don't have to worry about the game being blacked out here. However, I will miss the great buffet at my favorite Packer bar.

One of the few perks of working the night shift and having day one on Monday night. I get to watch this Sunday night and Badgers Monday afternoon. Did suck waking up after 3 hours sleep Saturday for the Viking game though.

Didn't look like Lowry played vs Viks today. Was he hurt? We need hid motor+effort vs Lions.

Lowry played a total of 19 uneventful snaps vs. the Vikings.
