Lambeau seeks snow shovelers ahead of Vikings-Packers game
The one win came in the 2012 season finale when Adrian Peterson rushed for 199 yards to lead the Vikings to a 10th win and a wild-card playoff game the following week in Green Bay.
“But I am confident that we have guys and myself that, when it matters for all the marbles, guys will show up”. But you have to adjust your mindset a little bit, yeah. Both teams are tied for first place with a 10-5 record.
No matter how you slice it, it has not been a banner year for the Green Bay Packers.
Palmer already has the Cardinals record for passing touchdowns at 34 and counting, having long since eclipsed the mark of 30 set by Warner in Arizona’s 2008 Super Bowl season.
A lot is riding on the outcome of Sunday night’s game. I want this team to face the best, and to beat the best, and I personally think they deserve a home game. We have seen the Seahawks turn a bad performance into a winning streak in one week’s time before, in fact they just did that after the last time they faced the Cardinals. This would be great for our fans…. I’m proud of the way we’ve competed and I’m proud of the way we’ve kept it together through the adversity and through the ups and downs that have come at us this year.
They now have that opportunity. If Lacy sees 20 or more carries Sunday night, leaving all other concerns about him aside, the game is probably going well for the Packers. And one of the biggest reasons you dread going to Green Bay this time of year, the weather, shouldn’t be a factor. That’s it. The outcome of Seattle’s game at Arizona would have no bearing on the Seahawks’ seeding.
Green Bay beats Minnesota and Seattle loses to Arizona.
If both the Vikings and Seahawks lose, Minnesota would be the No. 5 seed and open the postseason at Washington. The Packers had four turnovers and averaged just 2.8 yards per play, while Aaron Rodgers was sacked eight times before head coach Mike McCarthy pulled his starting quarterback in the fourth quarter.
That makes sense. The Cardinals are 13-2 and winners of nine in a row, and the last thing anyone should want to do is mess with the routine, the rhythm they have created. He has said this young team is not good enough to overcome big mistakes, and therefore they have generally played without making them. That was ugly. Then again, it’s impossible to imagine them playing like that again. They go into the final week of the regular season needing a win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in order to clinch home field.
Johnson had two sacks against the Giants, helped by the return of nose tackle Linval Joseph, the team’s best run stopper, who had missed three games with a foot injury.
Rookies such as safety Harris, the “raw project” defensive end Danielle Hunter, linebacker Eric Kendricks, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, right tackle T.J. Clemmings and even cornerback Trae Waynes have either started or been pressed into duty and have responded as Zimmer expected them to respond. Then they went into a three-game slide and, despite subsequently winning four of five – one on a last-second desperation heave from Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers against Detroit – issues remained, mainly on offense.
