The Packers take on the Patriots at 4:25 pm Eastern today, and a lot of people are calling it a Super Bowl preview. They are getting ahead of themselves, as both teams have a lot of football ahead of them before the playoffs even start. However, it's not a crazy idea. Even so, this game is nowhere near as big for the Packers as last week's game against the Vikings. Yes, the Vikings are mediocre, but they have a good defence, they were at home, and losing to them would have given the Lions a leg up on the division record tiebreaker. Packers took care of business, so we actually can afford to lose this one. Don't think we will, and certainly don't want to, but we can.
Anyway, the emergency backup auxiliary dog is ready for the game, wearing her Packers sweater hours ahead of time:
As you can see from this wider shot, she is lying atop the sofa in front of the Packers shrine, which includes items from my pilgrimage to Lambeau Field, an Aaron Rodgers action figure, Packers coasters, the flag, stein and football that are obvious, and other stuff that is hidden by the stuff you can see:
Yes, I'm probably crazy when it comes to the Packers. And as Christmas approaches, several other items will join the shrine. Look forward to an update.
