"The Giants came into Week 14 with the worst offense in the NFL, averaging 258 yards per game. Tommy DeVito and company gashed Green Bay for 367 total yards. The Giants rushed for 209 yards and two touchdowns. Plus, the Packers defense gave up the game-winning drive that ended in a 37-yard field goal as time expired.
DeVito looked like a serviceable starting quarterback against Green Bay’s defense."
The bigger question is- will the Bucs defense rise to the occasion?
Very much agree that is a HUGE question
or will anyone on the defense actually dress for the game
Well, if Green Bay is down all three receivers, with the cold up there, I can easily see this as a 9-6 kind of game. While I don't think the Packers' defense is anything to write home about, Mayfield seems to be on a downward trajectory the last couple of games. Maybe he'll bounce back this week and be just above mediocre, but I doubt it.
To be honest, with the injuries and the conditions, I can see either team winning it.
It’s funny because the Bucs running game has been coming on and one big reason to have a running game is bad weather, especially around playoff time
And I think the Packers have the worst run defense
Well, if Green Bay is down all three receivers
Not sure where you're getting this.
Doubs wasn't on the injury report and Reed was listed as a limited participant and didn't have a concussion designation.
Latest I can find:
”Although the Packers didn’t practice Wednesday because of the short week, Green Bay’s injury report indicated Watson and Wicks wouldn’t have participated if the team had a full workout. The injury report indicated Reed would have practiced on a limited basis.
Reed is optimistic about his chances of playing Sunday.
“We just did jog-through and everything today, and I’m good to go,” said Reed, who has 48 catches for a team-high 540 yards.
It's not going to be cold. 41 degrees, light wind.
Packers game looking more and more like an L
Godwin didnt practice again?
Will Dean, Vea suit up?
Run it down their throats, and break their will. Packers are hurting and the run game coming together, prepare hard and I think we have the ability to crush them, it all depends on our focus
Run it down their throats, and break their will.
Until we get a 3 point lead.
Then, Lovie Bowles will want to play conservative. Offensively and defensively.

I thought I read it somewhere, I know two of them are banged up.

Looking like 2 of their 3 starting WR’s will be in the mix.
"Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones said he’s making strides in his recovery from a knee injury and gaining confidence in his ability to return to play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Jones, who has missed three-straight games, practiced in a limited capacity each of the last two days.
“I’m feeling a lot better. I got to move around today at practice. Making great strides, so I’m going to take it day by day but I feel I’m confident for Sunday,” Jones said Thursday.
The Packers game sets up perfectly for the current version of the Bucs offense. Joe Barry's defense has been giving up tons of yards on the ground and our run game has been gaining steam. Throw in potentially bad weather and the running game could be even more critical.
So soon we forget about the losing ways of this team. I hope the Bucs can beat the Pack, but I'm not buying into the positivity this time. I did that at the beginning of the season, but they flopped. It's possible but not probable that they can go into Lambeau field and beat the Packers. I'm not buying that the young guys are making enough strides to the point where they can make up for the deficiencies that brought on the midseason losing streak.
I'm not buying the hype twice in one year. Once per year is enough. It's time to be from Missouri and show me with this team. The Bucs have shown the ability to hang in there and not get blown out, but still lose. That's what I am guessing will happen again, but the Packers will pull away at the end. Packers 27 Bucs 17.
