It’s bound to energize them

And now, the burning question on everyone’s mind: “What is in those gorgeous blue SiriusXM travel tumblers during ‘Packers Unscripted’?”
Wes’s probably still has that pumpkin spice whatever stuff from last year.
Wes’s answer to Steve in Iowa was spot on. This year has been all about enjoying and making memories! Packer games have been a highlight to our weeks, and watching with my five kids and wife have been a blessing. We even visited Green Bay this summer for the kids to see the stadium and enjoy a family vacation on the bay. Enjoy the season, wherever it leads us. As for a question, what do we need to do to stop the Browns?
Block Myles Garrett (if he plays) and tackle Nick Chubb. That’s what this game comes down to for me.
How does Monday’s heartbreaking loss to the Raiders, and the subsequent drop to last place in their division, affect the Browns coming into Saturday?
It’s a tough loss to get over I’m sure, and not a lot of time to get over it. But the bottom line the Browns sit one game out of a playoff spot with three to play. They have everything to play for, and if they get some of their guys back this week, particularly Baker Mayfield at QB, it’s bound to energize them.
I know he has a lot of input in the matter, since he will be throwing the ball, but if it were his choice, who do you think Aaron Rodgers would choose to catch the record-breaking TD pass?
I think the obvious answer is Davante Adams, with Big Dog a preference as well. If Randall Cobb weren’t injured, it might be a tougher call.

Will Brett Favre be in attendance to watch Rodgers break his record? I was born a Packers fan in ’92 and have seen nothing but Favre and Rodgers at QB and couldn’t be happier (and more spoiled). I’d love to see Favre there, especially considering how the two QBs have developed a great relationship off the field.
A popular question this week. I’m not aware of Favre coming to Lambeau on Saturday. I heard one radio interview he did Monday, and he didn’t mention it. That said, I wouldn’t put it past him, but it’s also Christmas Day and I would imagine he’s got family plans.
Wes and Spoff, with Cleveland’s top-five ranked defense, we may be in for another dramatic finish Saturday. Of the nine games the Packers have played on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, do you have a favorite? I’ll never forget watching the 1995 division-clinching win vs. Pittsburgh from an army base in Germany. Yancey’s gift drop amid the snowflakes is the enduring image, but my all my buddies commented on Favre’s toughness after taking that goal-line hit.
That one was a doozy. Christmas Eve 2004 and clinching the division in a 34-31 thriller at the Metrodome was pretty special, too. Driver’s game-tying TD catch late in the fourth quarter on fourth-and-goal was the definition of clutch.

On Monday, Mike said that Sunday’s game knocked Brady out of MVP contention, and now the race is between Taylor and Aaron Rodgers. If Sunday’s game disqualifies Brady, how can Rodgers be in the race after that Week 1 game?
Because, fair or unfair, performances this time of year count more with so much on the line. December is “winning time” in the NFL when teams have defined themselves. Look, Brady isn’t actually out of the race as far as many observers are concerned, and that’s fine. But right now (and obviously with three more games, things can still change), I think Rodgers is the pick at QB, unless the virus/media mess from earlier is held against him. Brady lost his offensive weapons to injury and couldn’t score a point at home against a .500 club when he only needed 10 points to win. Rodgers didn’t have Adams, MVS or Lazard and beat a (then) undefeated Arizona team on the road in prime time, 24-21. I think that’s a strong argument, among many, for Rodgers. If not a QB, then it’s Jonathan Taylor. That’s why I said what I said.
Who had the better tablet throw? Rodgers in 2015 vs. the Panthers? Or Brady on Sunday night vs. the Saints?
I’m sure Microsoft loves the publicity either way.
