Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. I am your host and

resident panelist, as always Ryan Schlipp. Check us out online Packernet.com. Find me on

Twitter, pack underscore that app. All right. So we've got some

news and notes here. I want to go through that first. I would like to get started on the

Minnesota Vikings, but something else came up that I thought about. We should probably talk about.

So hopefully we'll have a

little bit of time to get into the Vikings. They're a common opponent, so we kind of know them,

but they are, at least from my perspective, one of the most, if you're not really paying

attention, you're sitting back going, what the heck is going on over there, which is kind of where I'm at, because I don't have a freaking

clue what those people are doing over there. It's very confusing. But we'll see if we have

time to get to that. First of all, the, I guess, biggest news at the top of the day here,

Jordan Love officially did clear concussion protocol, meaning he is good to go, he's ready to rock and roll, and he can play. With that said,

it was also apparently immediately announced that he will not play despite clearing concussion

protocol. Neither will Malik. Clayton

Tune is going to be our starting quarterback. Now, very, very stark disagreements on the part of

the fan base. I've seen a lot of it already. People are, regardless of the decision, people would have been furious. No question about it. And I've already. People are, regardless of the decision, people would have been furious.

No question about it.

And I've already said what side of the issue I'm on.

I'm not going to pretend to completely not understand the perspective that we need to be playing.

I've already kind of talked about, you know, how scary it is to,

you know, obviously we're going to try to win the game. That's not in question. But if, assuming we

lose, it's a little scary the thought of going 0 and 4 going into the playoffs.
