Tom. Great job this season. Enjoying this from sunny but cool Mesa.

I hope, as a team or just captains, the Packers would go over to the Lions sideline and express some sympathy for Marvin Jones. If just 5 or 6 kneeled around him for a moment....

by Mike 12/29/2019 5:52:42 PM
I don't know if he's here. He's on injured reserve and may be at home. I'm sure TV will let us know.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:53:00 PM
Aloha Tom! You know what today’s game ain’t? It ain’t the last blog of the season! EYAAAA BABY! Thank you Tom!!!

Lions really ran up the score last year, time to return the favor

Happy Holidays from eastern Tennessee. The game is live on Fox down here.

Tom, how often do you select your game stories based upon the contributions from all of us on the blog? It appears that this blog has some influence when you talk with Leroy Butler. 🏈

by Eric in California 12/29/2019 5:53:25 PM
Yes, sometimes I get ideas from the comments or questions people ask, so keep them coming!

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:53:39 PM
Greeting from Sicily! Can’t wait for this game!

by Joe Creitz 12/29/2019 5:53:42 PM
Ciao!

All 4 TEs up. Do you expect a lot of TE in formations and moving into the backfield?

by The Hit Job 12/29/2019 5:53:59 PM
I do. I think we'll see TEs playing fullback in place of Vitale.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:54:13 PM
Go Pack Go from a little village in South Africa. Game will be closer than you think

by Limpopo 12/29/2019 5:54:17 PM
Which position coaches for GB have jumped out for you this year, either good or bad? I think the new OL coach has done well, despite his lack of experience.

by He’s Got Cobb!! 12/29/2019 5:54:24 PM
I think Mike Smith has been an MVP. He's taken those OLBs to a new level.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:54:39 PM
Go Packers from Yakima. Thanks Tom for a great season!

by Pezyak 12/29/2019 5:54:41 PM
Omaha Nebraska....go Packers....

by Jmk 12/29/2019 5:54:45 PM
Does Mike Daniels come back?

by Robert 12/29/2019 5:54:47 PM
Come back where? It won't be in Green Bay. I don't know about Detroit. He's a free agent and will have to settle for a small contract.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:55:19 PM
Do we have bright future 2020 21 22 regarding contracts situations?

by SerbPacker 12/29/2019 5:55:26 PM
They have a lot of veterans signed, but no team is in good shape two or three years down the road. They just don't know how things will go, who will be healthy, etc...

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:56:23 PM
OK, national anthem. Hang on.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:56:29 PM
Very nice tribute to Marvin Jones' son, who passed away.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:59:34 PM
Happy final day of Hanukkah Tom.

by Beerski 12/29/2019 5:59:39 PM
Any analysis on whether Rodgers hard snap counts help more than hurt.

by Kel fom Omaha 12/29/2019 5:59:43 PM
I think they help more than hurt. I don't have data for you.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 5:59:55 PM
% Packer Fans in stands?

by joe from indy 12/29/2019 6:00:02 PM
Hard to say, but I'm guessing 40% maybe.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:00:12 PM
Packers call tails. It is tails. Packers will defer and kick.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:00:50 PM
I think we all know this will be Jimmy Graham's last year with GB. Do you think this is his last year in the NFL?

by John J 12/29/2019 6:01:01 PM
Could be. I haven't really asked him about his plans, so I don't know. But he won't be making $10M next year.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:01:19 PM
Better question, how full are the stands???

by PackerSteve 12/29/2019 6:01:24 PM
Maybe 75%.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:01:33 PM
Jamal Agnew back for the Lions. Good returner.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:02:08 PM
Out of the end zone, touchback.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:02:45 PM
Za'Darius Smith with a shot on Blough to start the game and he's going to be called for a personal foul.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:03:40 PM
Lions are on their 40 now.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:03:56 PM
Not sure about that call on Smith. Didn't look like a shot to the head.

by Tom Silverstein 12/29/2019 6:04:29 PM
Weak foul.

by Brian across the lake 12/29/2019 6:04:37 PM
So the Refs are going to be calling a lot of everything

by Texastrump 12/29/2019 6:04:39 PM
Terrible call. Not a penalty

by Mark 12/29/2019 6:04:40 PM
Horrible call right out of the gate

by Matt Foley 12/29/2019 6:04:42 PM
Shawn Hochuli's arms not as big as his dad's. Needs to hit the weight room

by Miami Cheesehead 12/29/2019 6:04:44 PM
Even with the penalty...Z has told Blough it will be a long day for you

by Bongo 12/29/2019 6:04:59 PM
It's eerily quiet in here.
