Not gonna lie
 
Packers could be the worst 13-3 1 seed team in recent memory.

The whole NFC north has had a cupcake schedule this year, so much so the Vikings even got 10 wins and Bears with no offense even got 6+. Packers this season have struggled against all bad teams, got beat by playoff teams including the eagles. Officiating has spotted them opportunity after opportunity with flags that result in 1st downs or huge chunk yardage.

It would be a miracle if GB ever got out of the divisional without getting blown out.

Well hopefully we never have too meet them in Green Bay unless it HAS TO BE on our way winning another Superbowl.

We’ll see them in GB in 2 weeks if SF wins tonight.

GB is one and done. Complete waste of a playoff spot, much less the #1 seed.

IMO the road to the SB goes through Santa Clara, CA.

Hopefully SEA takes care of business tonight. If so, the road to SB will go thru New Orleans. Because GB will be 1 and done.

They are like the 2018 Bears. Caught lightning in a bottle with their new young coach and got a nice helping of luck. Next year they will come back to the pack (pun intended).

Tell ya what getting the 2 seed would be great because we could get either Seattle or eagles.

We’re going to whoop the Packers ass in two weeks if the 49ers win tonight.

San Fran may not get out of the divisional either.

I'm not going to lie either. I'm not too thrilled with having to play a wild card. It is a lot harder to get to the SB this way. I"m confident we can beat Minnesota. But I'm nervous about having to go to GB. I think we are the better team, but I"m concerned that Roger and Co may try to screw us again in that game like they did us last year against the Rams. I don't trust them. If we get past them, then it's either to Seattle or more likely San Fran. This is a tough road for our team to travel. The last 2 years have left a bad taste in my mouth, especially last year and I admit have made me a little paranoid about our team's potential for success in the playoffs. I hope i"m wrong on this as it would be very satisfying, even more than 09 if the Saints can pull this off.

I’m more concerned if we get those west coast refs. Like the ones in the sea/San Fran game or ones in rams game last year. They probably gonna have home cooking refs there. NFL wants nothing more than to blast it from the past with a gb/kc matchup like in first 2 Super Bowls.

When we beat Green Bay in Green Bay, I wonder what the media will say about us playing outdoors.

We are 11-1 on the road over the past 2 years.

If we beat GB and I ever hear about how we are a dome team again, I'm going to be rather pissed. We've consistently won outdoors. We've consistently won on the road. We're going to prove that this year when we hoist the Lombardi trophy.

Hopefully this is the year we silence those that say we have to have to play at home to win in the playoffs.

Did we put up 35 in the first half in the rain ... outside not in a Dome yesterday ... Another Fake News talking point!

GB at Lambeau will be very tough, especially in cold weather.

True but not in the playoffs.

1st things first, let's concern ourselves with the Vikings at home on Sunday before worrying about GB and the weather 2 weeks from now.

Definitely!

No way anyone should be thinking about GB yet.

If we mess up against the Vikings then we don't even go there!

Take care of business at home first!!!

They are going to say that we got lucky and should have never won that game.

The saints have an all-time winning percentage of 57% under Brees when playing indoors.

During his 1st 7 years, his outdoor winning % was well below that. However, here's what it looks like for the last 6 years:


2013/14 - 75%
2014/15 - 60%
2015/16 - 50%
2016/17 - 57.1%
2017/18 - 57.1%
2018/19 - 83.3%

If the weather's decent in GB, I think we have a great chance of winning there.

Romo said it best.
As fans we can start booking rooms in Miami and it won’t change anything.

I’m convinced turf matters. Most of the guys we got now played a lot of ball outdoors on grass as opposed to artificial turf. This is why I can’t stress enough that going on the road may be highly beneficial this go.

Cousins is more choke-hazard prone than a 2 year old in a marble factory.

Once Jordan properly introduces himself to Cousins, I expect the Vikings' offense will look about like it did for the Packer's game...non-existent.
