Meanwhile, Arizona Cardinals left tackle Jared Veldheer, who played at Forest Hills Northern and Hillsdale, is preparing for his playoff opener Saturday when the Cardinals host the Green Bay Packers. “You want to be with people who believe in you and we are going to find out, because we haven’t discussed it yet, how much I am wanted and where that’ll go”.

“I didn’t come through for us, and that hurts”, a distraught Walsh said afterwards. He made roughly $660,000 this season and now sees a big contract on the horizon. The 2014 NFC Offensive Player of the Year had another good regular season, completing 60.7 percent of his passes that led to 3,821 yards. Arizona may win again, but it will be a lot closer with Green Bay covering.
The team showed that they can win in absolutely any environment that they need to.
More immediately, the Packers have to figure out how to make the offense work against the Cardinals, three weeks after getting blown out 38-8 by Arizona in the desert in Week 16.
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy also conceded that his mind has wandered to that special 2010 run. “But you look at them since we played them, they look like a completely different team”.
The victory this weekend means Green Bay Packers have moved on to play at the Arizona Cardinals in a divisional round matchup on Saturday. It is expected to be a game that the Cardinals dominate, but the Packers have other ideas. In their five most recent match-ups, the Cardinals went 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS. The temperature got down to -6 degrees, and the wind chill brought it down to -24, making the only colder games the Ice Bowl in 1967 at -13 degrees and the Freezer Bowl in 1982 at -9 degrees.
The Arizona Cardinals are coming off their best regular season in franchise history.
“It’s not fun to watch it”, right tackle Bryan Bulaga said Wednesday.
The Packers had a confidence infusing win in the opening round of the playoffs against the Washington Redskins, and that will help them put the December game even further behind them.
Last week against the Washington Redskins, Aaron Rodgers finally looked like himself, the wide receivers were catching passes, and the run game was back in full strength, but that was against one of the worst defensive teams in the NFL. They had all of 11 yards – yes, just 11 – after one quarter. The Cardinals defense could cause a lot of problems for the Packers.
A few weeks ago the Packers traveled to Glendale, Arizona and were beaten badly by a very hot football team. “We’re going in as the underdogs”. He went 5 for 6 for 68 yards on a drive that ended with a 12-yard TD pass to Randall Cobb.

Takeaway: It might be too early to say that the Green Bay Packers offense is back to performing at a peak level.
