On one hand, the Packers seem to have a chip on their shoulder for those who would dare to point out the fact that, for long stretches of the season, the Packers have stunk. On the other hand, the Packers are embracing the stink by throwing backhanded bouquets at their next opponent, the Cardinals.

“Well, the pressure’s all going to be on them,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Wednesday, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “They’re coming off a tough loss at home against Seattle. Before that they blew us out. They’re the Super Bowl favorites, and obviously the favorite team on Saturday night, so we’ve just got to go out, be loose, let it all hang out, because the pressure’s all on that side.”

Rodgers repeated his theory, in the event anyone missed it...

Win or lose, at least Rodger has guts.

Vic, how come the Packers get only six days between games and everyone else gets seven?

Just because we’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get us.

I thought McCarthy’s decision to use his timeouts at the end of the second quarter was one of his boldest decisions this season and he was rewarded for it. What were your thoughts on that decision?

He does it all the time. He’s the boldest coach I’ve ever covered, and he’s also the best clock manager I’ve ever covered, but I didn’t think there was anything especially bold about what he did in Washington on Sunday. It was outside the two-minute warning. It set up perfectly for the Packers, as long as the defense got a stop. It always comes back to players making strategies work.

I didn’t have much confidence in this team going into the playoffs until the offense came alive in the second quarter. The Cardinals are going to be a great challenge, but I believe if we come away with a win on Saturday, this team can beat anyone. Do you agree?

Absolutely, I agree. This is the game. This is the single-most important game of the season. Everything rides on this game. If the Packers win on Saturday, I believe they will host the NFC title game. Just win one game.

Vic, can you assess the play of Julius Peppers this year? I would love for him to make an impact on Saturday night.

I think he’s playing even better this year than he did last year.

Congrats Packrat.  And only Packrat...

Thanks, Grizz.  That's greatly appreciated.

evaluations of the matchups. They didn’t scheme schemes, they schemed personnel.


Beau from Lancaster, PA

Vic, we are down to the final eight teams and arguably the eight-best quarterbacks in the game. Without “The Man,” it’s nearly impossible to make a deep playoff run.

Your team will go as far as its quarterback takes it.

The Packers have just six days between games, whereas the Cardinals enjoyed a bye week and have been able to have a normal workweek.

I'm enjoying the new, angry Packrat.  Peke and others did a good job in getting him to come out of the pretend humble act he was putting on for years.

packrat, you said I did not know what I was talking about on the officiating.  I just posted proof the NFL admitted they screwed up and it helped the Packers.

Nonsense, octagon.  My posts state my honest opinions.  This is the kind of silly logic that implies I would post specious information for 15 years to mislead Bears fans for --- what reason?  Your opinion of my posts don't matter to me in the least.  You are attaching much too much importance to the significance of your feelings in my world.

The Bears ae my second favorite team to GB.  It's only some of the more narrow minded  FANS that rile me occasionally.

I personally really like you packrat. If you are ever in my area I would be more then happy to break bread with you. 

I just think you are wrong about the officiating when it comes to the Packers.  Also there is absolutely no packer gear allowed in my home.  Not even on babies.
