    The Green Bay Packers are getting ready for one of the biggest games of the Matt LaFleur-Jordan Love era.  The 14-3 Philadelphia Eagles will welcome Green Bay into Lincoln Financial Field and their hostile crowd.  Love will need to stay cool, calm, and collected under pressure.

    However, a former Green Bay legend will be feeling the pressure in a different way.

    While Bakhtiari’s left knee has been plagued with setbacks in recent seasons, he remains optimistic after undergoing his fifth surgery to the knee:

    Bakhtiari, who was released by the Green Bay Packers after 11 seasons in March, said in an interview on “The Adam Schefter Podcast” that he’s “really happy” with the progress from his latest surgery, a major procedure that took place in November — so much so that he hopes to play another couple of years.

    “A lot of other people wanted me to just kind of grit through it, but no one experiences what you truly experience,” Bakhtiari said of his decision to have the fifth surgery in November. “Look, I’ve been gritting through it for three years.

    I’m in constant pain. I’m so happy now to be on the other side of it and get the actual surgery that I needed because my knee was not in a good place.”

      I don’t think the eagles treated the Packers very good I they were out to get them and that’s what they did not very nice it really got to be a bad football game. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Green Bay packer fan or an eagles fan
