Talking Packers - What do you know?

[TheRed]

Unfortunately for the Panthers they're getting the Packers at just about the worst possible time. Coming off a blowout loss and only the second of their season. In GB, frigid temps, extra motivated, we could be walking into a buzzsaw. Safe to say this coaching staff better have the guys prepared with an adequate gameplan. If we see any of that lackadaisical bullshit from a few weeks ago when we traveled to the west coast this one will be over before it even starts.

Not enthused about the cold weather. I think that plays into their hands and adds an even more distinct home field advantage. I am definitely worried about ball security with some of our guys that have issues with turnovers. IMO, that could be the key to this game, that turnover battle.

[Waldo]

It's a winnable game. The question is what team shows up? I would guess this ends like the Texans or Jags game. We have a favorable matchup if we use a competent game plan and are prepaired.

Should be a loss, but I'm feeling better about our chances. Run it and hope the OL continues to gel. Current forecast is freezing, windy, and cloudy so don't expect much from our passing game.

panthers up by 3 with a minute to go in the fourth. Rodgers goes right down the field 75 yards against our vaunted D and they win.

seen this movie before.

Rodgers is a game changer at quarterback, one of the absolute best playing right now. Their receivers, outside of DAdams, are really young and not well known, but they've made plays for them. It seems like a different guy each week, but Rodgers will give them opportunities. Hoping for a win, but this is going to be a tough test.

Boger is reffing. That right there should tell you it will be a long day. 

After that Lions game, the Packers don't worry me at all. They looked average in that game, and would have lost if Detroit hadn't continually tripped on their own dicks and been referee'd into oblivion on that last drive.

we should be able to move the ball, we just need to slow Rodger down and score when we get the chance. if we let Aaron jones and williams get going we are in for a long long day.

I know this will not be as easy as most think.  This is a must win game if they hope to sniff the playoffs.  Taking an L here pretty much ends the playoff dreams.

Is there anyone actually thinking this is going to be an easy game for us?  The Packers are 7-2 and we're playing in Lambeau.  Aaron Rogers is still their QB.  Nothing about this game says easy win to me.

That home field advantage will be a real thing this weekend. This team is not ready for the slightest bit of cool weather.
 

I just hope Tepper is breathing down Rivera’s neck about this being the featured game of the week and will not stand for being embarrassed twice in three weeks. 
 

Other than that I don’t have much hope.

[Mr. Scot]

Tepper was reported to have ripped Rivera a new one after the 49ers game.

Some (me included) have theorized that may have helped nudge "Riverboat" back onto the scene.

And there was a legit very good reason for it too

How do you know that the team is not ready to play in cold weather?  Its not like its going to be 10 degrees or something.  High is 33 on Sunday.  Cold?  Yes.  Cold enough to make us play badly?  Hardly.
