Discuss all playoff games here. I will make a Lions and Tampa actual game day thread but you can discuss it here pregame if you choose.
This will be the live thread for all other games.
**** Note - The game day threads are not a place to flame the board. If you’re in the thread solely to flame and stir the pot, you will find yourself on timeout throughout the remainder of the playoff games. These threads are for fans who genuinely want to discuss the games ****
Guessing Alexander starts, tbd if he can play the whole game:
GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder/ankle), running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck), linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (neck) and punter Daniel Whelan (illness) as questionable for Saturday’s NFC Divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Green Bay also ruled out linebacker Kingsley Enagbare, who sustained a significant knee injury in Sunday’s 48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Alexander didn’t practice this week after aggravating the ankle injury that caused him to be questionable for last week’s wild-card game against the Cowboys.
“It’s where he’s at right now and hopefully he’ll be ready to go,” said Head Coach Matt LaFleur when asked about Alexander’s availability for Saturday.
I really don’t know who I want to win in SF. On one hand, if the pack wins we get home field advantage in the NFCCG. On the other hand…the last time they came here they whooped our ass pretty bad. And coming off a win against the #2 team in the country will have them feeling like world beaters
See this is what becomes a push for me. If GB wins, Lions host the NFCC. If they lose, Lions have to go to SF.
Both of these games would be such a tough call, so in the end I will root for the Packers simply for home field vs. going all the way to the left coast.
Stacy Dales on NFL Gameday regarding DC.
I asked him about the emotions for the players and staff coming off that game did you have to do anything?
He gave me some coach speak but then added that it in many ways it, Rams game, relieved tensions for the team. Stacy added that she was in the clubhouse this week and the team is loose.
