Gratitude to the Vikings
Thanks, Vikings! Victory on Saturday night may hinge on the Bears’ performance.
Unexpected Christmas News
To my surprise, I find myself writing a breaking news update on Christmas evening, but I’m certainly not complaining.
Appreciating the Gift
Thank you, Vikings, for the Christmas gift! Will this alter how the Packers approach their game on Saturday?
Packers’ Strategy
Not really. As long as there’s a shot at winning the NFC North, the Packers should play aggressively. The stakes for getting a higher seed are significant.
Future Considerations
Even though it’s not my ideal Christmas gift, I’ll accept it. The division title is still attainable. However, resting some players in Week 18 is an option if things don’t turn in our favor. Is that likely?
Looking Ahead
It will depend on the outcomes from Week 17 and the health of the team after a period without practice. For now, the Packers remain in the hunt, so the focus should be on defeating the Ravens.
Best Case Scenario
What’s a better scenario for the Packers: winning while the Bears lose, keeping division hopes alive, or securing the No. 7 seed in Week 17, allowing for rest in Week 18?
