Official Packers vs. Patriots Discussion Thread

I am inexplicably confident about this game. I fully expect a win for the Packers.

I might need to start watching replays of that 2010 game and jab myself with a coat hanger, Colonel Flagg style, after every positive Packer moment to regain some perspective.

I am too but its not inexplicable. We're unbeatable at home. The problem is that this team is eventually going to have to beat a good team outside of Lambeau if they want to hoist the lombardi and there is no evidence that they can do that. Or even be competitive.

The Dolphins are borderline good.

The road woes will continue, until they don't.

They took another lead late against Denver in Denver. I think they qualify as good. At least they are now.

They've got all of the elements that usually give the packers problems -- fierce edge rush, physical corners, and a solid rushing offense led by a good-not-great QB. They're not as talented as the 9ers of the previous 3 years, but they're a tough out.

ya, but how good is Denver getting thrashed by a losing Rams team?

Have only seen one Rams game. Rapapport thinks they are playoff caliber if they had gone back to a healthy Shaun Hill earlier. Can't say for certain. What is certain is that the Broncos can be had far more easily than early season suggested.

Miami is a decent team with a 6-5 record.

What defines a team as good to a great extent relies on the quality of that teams QB.

Ryan Tannehill has had four games this season with a QBR > 80. He's also had four games with a QBR < 30.

We could if we get HFA throughout.
