Hello everyone, welcome to the JSOnline and PackersNews live blog. Who's ready for some Packers-Vikings?

It's time to get some more info on what the playoff seeding is going to be.

by Tom Silverstein 12/24/2019 12:36:50 AM
As you might know, if the Packers win, they clinch the NFC North. If they lose, they can still win the North by beating Detroit.

Good evening Tom, have a great call as always

by Paul 12/24/2019 12:37:45 AM
Hi Tom, thanks for this blog! Who made it to the 46 tonight in place of Sternberger?

by Ted Z 12/24/2019 12:37:49 AM
Good question. I believe it might be for ILB B.J. Goodson.

by Tom Silverstein 12/24/2019 12:39:18 AM
Tom how often don you think we will hear/read comments about how long Rogers is holding the ball tonight?

by BS Splake 12/24/2019 12:39:25 AM
Well, if he doesn't want to get clobbered not many at all. Can't hold it against the Vikings.

by Tom Silverstein 12/24/2019 12:39:55 AM
Tom, what do the Packers have to do tonight to beat the Vikings?

by GoldenEye 12/24/2019 12:40:02 AM
Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball.

Hi Tommyboy, put a rag in that horn

Hi Tom. Golfed in CO today. Life is good. Good informative articles this week by you. I like our chances to pull off the upset tonight. Thanks for doing this!

by FredCO 12/24/2019 12:40:37 AM
Tom - it is crazy that Sternberger is not active. Are the coaches incapable of seeing that Graham and Lewis are over the hill? They contribute little on O and do not play ST. Do you think that this comes down to Rodgers telling the coaches who he trusts rather than developing a potential weapon?

by Bill 12/24/2019 12:40:48 AM
It might. I agree that it's crazy not to have Sternberger active. I think he's been doing a good job blocking, better than Tonyan. But they may not be using tight ends much today. They might try to spread out the Vikings and take advantage of their corners.

Sternberger inactive is surprising. His snap count seemed to be increasing each week. What insight does that give us to the gameplan?

Good Evening Tom and Thank you from the OV in Arizona!

Hugest game of the year for the Packers!!

by Leo 12/24/2019 12:42:27 AM
People say run, run, RUN, but I say we badly need to work on our passing game. Thoughts?

by Paul Ott Carruth 12/24/2019 12:42:32 AM
I say run, run, run.

by Tom Silverstein 12/24/2019 12:42:37 AM
Checking in from Scottsdale. Not real confident of the Packers unless they play one of their best games.

How important to get a quick start Tom?

by Go Pack from Gulf Shores AL 12/24/2019 12:43:19 AM
Very, very important.

Hi Tom! Greatings from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Any objections on the blog to accept an ugly win tonight? I think the seahawks would take it.

by JM 12/24/2019 12:43:31 AM
Can the Packers seize the moment, or aren’t they ready?

by Steve 12/24/2019 12:43:34 AM
Tom, how does the turf here compare to Lambeau? Better, less slippery and why?

by The Hit Job 12/24/2019 12:43:39 AM
Well, this is full articial turf, so everyone knows what cleats to wear on this surface. You don't wear long cleats on turf. In GB, you have to decide whether you want to risk slipping with shorter cleats.
