View from the Mouse-hole


The Packers look healthy entering this weekends divisional playoff game at Lambeau facing the New York Giants as all starters participated in at least limited practice this week, including WR Greg Jennings and LT Chad Clifton.

Bryan Bulaga is also expected to start at tackle, returning from a knee injury suffered October 7, 2011.

The Giants' RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) and LB Mark Herzlich (ankle) did not participate in practice on Thursday and RB D. J. Ware (concussion) was limited.

Giants DE Osi Umenyiora (ankle/knee) also did not participate fully in practice this week.

Umenyiora has 25 tackles, 9 sacks and 2 forced fumbles playing in 9 contests this past season.

Keys to a Packer victory include limiting the New York pass rush and the addition of Clifton to the GB offensive line could help slow down Umenyiora and DE J. Pierre Paul (16.5 sacks) who has already predicted a Giants win.

Green Bay playoff captains for the match are QB Aaron Rodgers/WR Donald Driver on offense, CB Charles Woodson/LB A.J. Hawk on defense, and K Mason Crosby/CB Jarrett Bush on special teams.

Fans spent the day (Friday) removing snow from Lambeau in preperation for Sundays game.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 pm.

PackRat thinks Green Bay will win this game 27-17; check back to WWS for post-game analysis.

PackRats prayers go out to the family of Green Bay Packer Offensive Coordinator Joe Philbin .
