Davante Adams is believed to have an MCL sprain that will keep him out this week. This is huge, as I believe he'd draw Bethel most of the game and Rodgers recently dubbed him "Mr. January".

Only one real receiving threat (Cobb), will likely be covered up by PP21.

Rodgers has a pretty lackluster passer rating if you take out his screen passes.

Rodgers has a pretty lackluster passing TD total if you take out his 11 screen passing TD's.

The Cardinals will probably focus on shutting down their running game and Fat Eddy Lacy to make them 1-dimensional.

So who needs to have a big game?

Kevin Minter. He's gotta bring it against the run and sniff out screens.

Well, I will be looking for tickets for the Champ Round if the Cardinals play at home. Hit a 4 way parlay last weekend in Vegas which should cover it.

Chris Johnson returns to practice

He can’t play until the Super Bowl, but he can practice. And he is.
Cardinals running back Chris Johnson, who suffered a fractured tibia in late November, has returned to practice after being placed on injured reserve with the one-per-team-per-year designation to return.

And while he can participate in practice for the remainder of this week and, if the Cardinals win, next week, he won’t be eligible to play unless and until the Cardinals make their second Super Bowl appearance, by beating the Packers and then the winner of the Seahawks-Panthers game.

I am going to say this, and I said it the last time we played the Packers... we are going to blow them out, way too much of a talent difference on the field

Couldn't give it away to any fans, not just Packers fans. Uppers were being offered for $10 that day. No one was buying.

I had a co-worker tell me he'd rather sit in his house and watch the game on his TV (instead of taking my free ticket / $60 face value). He has since retired, but I remind him of the game being the NFL's highest-scoring playoff game whenever I see him.

Well all I know is that 2 of them went to Cards Fans, because my son and I are coming for the game...Thanks a bunch to DeAnna, she got us 2 tickets. Big Props to her for helping out some out of towners....:jumping_smilie:

I think BIM was talking about the last playoff game in 2009-10 with Kurt.

Glad you found cheap flights!

14893 Tickets on Stub Hub. Still not moving like hot cakes.

Previously there were about 11,000 - about 4,000 went on sale Monday, so looks like most of those were put up for sale also. Greedy people, lol

I'm guessing the prices will start to drop come Friday.

Golden and Mauro are the 2 to keep an eye on. The other limited participants have been that for most the season and still played.

Almost 15,000 n Stubhub alone. Many of those have to be season tickets, and they are not all brokers.

so odd

im curious how many of those are "if I can sell em for X, i will, otherwise i go to the game"

Aaron Rodgers says all the pressure is on 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.
“We’re all fans of sports, we know how it goes, anything can happen,” Rodgers said. “We’re going in as the underdogs. We’re going to be loose and ready to go, and it’s going to be their stadium, it’s going to be rocking, but the pressure’s going to be on them.”

Hopefully, we show him some pressure. I hope we sack him 12 times this time around. I hope someone stands over him and does his sissy belt move after they have sacked him.

you know, the old "weve got nothing to lose" "we are playing with house money" "the pressure is on them" --- it sounds good, but i dont think that holds true

because it implies at its heart: "we dont expect to win"-- or --- "its not so bad if we lose." Thats kinda what Aaron Rodgers is saying

Agreed, especially since they were one of the preseason favorites to go to the big dance. The pressure is only on someone who lets it. It all just psychological war fare. He's trying to plant that in our teams brains.

BA after practice today "No injuries really to speak of. Everybody practiced full. A very good practice. The physical work is done."

Shields Fails Protocol Today?

“Hopefully he can do more today,” McCarthy said before Thursday’s practice. “I mean, the work today will obviously hopefully complete the protocol. But I don’t have anything to announce until he completes the protocol.”
http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-p...hields-on-the-verge-of-return-from-concussion


The Packers were hoping that Shields would be able to clear the league's post-concussion protocol of required steps before being allowed to play Saturday night in the NFC Divisional Playoff at Arizona.

However, Journal Sentinel beat writer Michael Cohen reports that Shields did not succeed yet in clearing protocol.

Good to hear. And no injuries is always good.

Last game they had mediocre practices and look what happened.
