Packers looked very good for approx. 5 minutes in the 4th quarter. Any idea why the rest of the game was so poorly played?

Prices of Play off games are expensive. What are the causes of this? Regular games are much less expensive.

Play Aaron Rodgers in the next game for a quarter or half only and don’t put him in for the game against Detroit. Rest him up for the bowl! Also, take care of Clay!

The game on sunday night is goin’ to send a statement to the league. One loss doesn’t mean we’re done, nor did it give a blueprint on how to beat us. 19 straight wins, a loss is bound to happen at some point. It stung cause the chiefs had a back up QB and an interim coach, both playin’ their first game against us. Oh well. It’s time to forget about the loss, and focus on the playoffs. GO PACK GO!!

Hopefully the Pack will run the ball more against the Bears, remember Ryan Grant had his highest rushing yard total against them in week 3 with 97. So hopefully MM will see something on film that will make him want to run the ball, and that will also protect Rodgers from getting killed this week. I think Grant should at least carry 20 times this week and Saine should be the third down back he seems to have good hands and good enough awareness to pick up the blitz. The D-line should fair better with Pickett coming back and I wish MM would give Zombo the start opposite Clay to generate more pass rush. The O-line should be fine if they stick with the run.
GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you WV, I hope we can get our run game going, that will save rodgers from getting sacked. Also I think that we should play rodgers the first half and if we have a steady lead at the half play flynn for a little while. Thatll save rodgers from possibly getting injured and give flynn more experience. I am glad to see that pickett, bishop, starks, and saine are coming back. Im also hoping to see clay putting some pressure on their QB seeing as though he only through 2 passes this year if we get a good pass rush going he wont be feeling to comfortable and our defense might be able to pick the ball. GO PACK GO!!!!

@Pete Deiler– Why are playoff tickets expensive? You kidding?? It’s the playoffs, baby! Do or die! Win or go home! There’s no tomorrow! Twenty teams don’t get to play in the playoffs, only twelve. A regular season game is, well, regular. Why do you think Super Bowl tickets are so expensive?
