Imagine if we had the 2nd game on Sunday at home. GB is low single or minus and wind chill like 20 below.

[Joemailman]

Imagine if we had the 2nd game on Sunday at home. GB is low single or minus and wind chill like 20 below.

Yeah, according to forecast it would be about 2 above at game time and dropping fast. Actually warmer in Green Bay than much of the state. Here in Wausau expected to be about 6 below at game time heading for 17 below.

[Joemailman]

Weather forecasts for 3 outdoor games:

Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs (Saturday 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff)
Temperatures: Falling through the low 20s
Winds: 10-15 mph out of the NNW; Gusts to 25 mph
Wind chills: 9-12 degrees
While snow won’t be an issue, you’ll want to wear multiple layers to battle with the winds and cold temperatures. This will feel several dozen degrees warmer than last year’s amputation-necessitating playoff game in Kansas City this time last year.

Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday 3 p.m. ET kickoff)
Temperatures: Hovering near freezing
Winds: 10-15 mph out of the NNW; Gusts to 25 mph
Wind chills: Low to mid-20s
Out of all the divisional games this weekend, this one will have the most impact from the weather. Winter Storm Demi will be moving through the Eastern Seaboard with snow. Multiple inches of snow could fall during the game and more than three inches are expected overall during the storm’s duration. Visibility and field traction could become issues if bands of snow strike during the game.

Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills (Sunday 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff)
Temperatures: Mid to upper teens
Winds: Light and variable, but generally out of the north or northwest
Wind chills: 8-12 degrees
If you’re flipping from Sunday's first playoff game (in Philly) to this next one, you might be disappointed by this second game’s weather. Some flurries will be possible, but this snow should be lighter and drier than in Philadelphia. If you’re going to the game, grab several layers and some mittens for the cold.

How did that go against SF in the playoffs?

Two frigid games, two stinking losses.

Correction, just let the Redskins win then cancel the season.

‪Ian Rapoport‬ ‪@rapsheet1.bsky.social‬

Texans Pro Bowl RB Joe Mixon, limited this week with an ankle injury, will play today, sources say. LB Azeez Al-Shaair, limited with a knee, also will play against the Chiefs.

[MadtownPacker]

Out of spite I will go:
Chiefs
Redskins

Somebody's gotta beat the Chiefs so Packers remain only team to win 3 straight NFL titles.

[MadtownPacker]

Somebody's gotta beat the Chiefs so Packers remain only team to win 3 straight NFL titles.How about they lose to Redskins in the big game?

[Joemailman]

Texans are playing well. Just gotta cut out the penalties on offense. Oh, and make the XP.

[MadtownPacker]

Texans are playing well. Just gotta cut out the penalties on offense. Oh, and make the XP.I don’t see them winning unless they have a 3 score lead with less than 4 minutes.

[ThunderDan]

Chiefs O hasn't been that great this year. They are winning with their D.

[Joemailman]

Another BS Mahomes call.

[ThunderDan]

Sure feels like the refs want KC to win.

[Joemailman]

Maybe cover Kelce.

[MadtownPacker]

Unlike our team they score enough points when the D holds an offense down.

Dude Taytay has her whole family there. How hard was it to give the refs million dollar tips?

[MadtownPacker]

Sure feels like the refs want KC to win.They would lose their new, likely temporary fan base.

[MadtownPacker]

Props to Stroud for taking a beating today. Surprised he lasted this long. Took some shots.

[QBME]

Without a doubt, Houston got jobbed by the refs. Just a couple/three calls, but that is all it took.

From here on in, I don't care who wins as long it is not KC. Three peat....bullshit.

Packers did it twice.

Fuck Roger Goodel.

You could see Commanders weren't fooled a bit.

[MadtownPacker]

They came in hot.

[Joemailman]

NFCN gonna be 0-3. How you finish matters. This game reminds me of Packers Division Round loss to Giants in 2011.

[MadtownPacker]

The big bad division just got smoked after all the historical talk. Might be the biggest letdown in history.

Every NFC North team in the playoffs lost their only playoff game. Tells me that we were gifted with an incredibly easy schedule that made our records better than they should have been.

[Joemailman]

Every NFC North team in the playoffs lost their only playoff game. Tells me that we were gifted with an incredibly easy schedule that made our records better than they should have been.

I don't think that was it. The strength of schedule and strength of victory of the Lions, Vikings and Packers was in the upper half. I just think the three teams weren't playing their best ball at the end of the season. The Lions were decimated by injuries on defense. The Packers were struggling offensively. Darnold played terribly his last couple of games. They all lost playoff games to teams (Commanders, Eagles and Rams) that were playing very well down the stretch.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

So, the fucking Pussies costed me $300. Also, lost another $400 at the poker tables.

Like a degenerate, I’ve decided to “chase the losses” by putting $500 on the Italianos and Hillbillies, ML parlay @ +165. Smart or dumb?

[Fosco33]

I could see the Rams winning today - Eagles offense wasn’t all that impressive

[run pMc]

Agree, I think the shine had come off Minnesota a bit, and they seemed hungover from the Week 18 loss to DET. GB was similarly trending the wrong way, fading from 9-3 to 11-6.
DET was so beat up on defense the only way they were going to win in the playoffs was via shootout, which they are very capable of doing IF they don't turn the ball over. Today Goff played like early Goff and looked rattled and was bad under pressure. I also think DET got too cutesy with trick plays and the Williams INT cost them.

The easy-schedule thing isn't entirely wrong, the NFCN played the AFCS which was not a great division, and the NFCW was kind of a mess - ARI was an average team, SEA had a bad OL, and injuries decimated SF.
I don't think any boost the schedule provided to their record was THAT a big deal though - PHI & WAS could fatten up on a bad NYG and iffy DAL team twice, plus they played an ugly NFCS division.

When the playoffs come around it's about matchups, health, and momentum. You can often throw the regular records out, especially when a team has a hot start and cools off.

[Joemailman]

I could see the Rams winning today - Eagles offense wasn’t all that impressive

Barkley ran for 255 yards when the 2 teams met earlier this year. But the Rams defense has been better lately. If they can hold Barkley somewhat in check, they can win.

[MadtownPacker]

I could see the Rams winning today - Eagles offense wasn’t all that impressive
Stupid ass APB didn’t consider the “Katrina” factor at play. Rams could get sympathetic treatment like New Orleans did back in 2008. NFL let them cheapshot Favre to the point they had to make “new” rules about it the following season.

Yea Fozzy I would see the Rams win. They are playing good and eagles are not impressive.

[MadtownPacker]

Barkley ran for 255 yards when the 2 teams met earlier this year. But the Rams defense has been better lately. If they can hold Barkley somewhat in check, they can win.
Thinking if they just don’t allow hurts to make crucial plays like the Packers did Barkley can have his yards.

[run pMc]

I think Hurts was rusty from not playing, and Hafley had a decent game plan.
I think PHI's OL will be able to handle LAR's DL better than MIN.

Rams offense will be hard to stop, but PHI's secondary is very good. McVay > Sirianni as a coach, so I think it's a close game. LAR played a little undisciplined at times vs. MIN, I think because they smelled blood in the water, and that might hurt them against PHI... Eagles are just a very solid team and the 2 seed for a reason.

[run pMc]

A little Schadenfreude to go with my chamomile tonight. LOL.

Trying to limit how much Schadenfreude I enjoy so as not to tempt or upset the football gods, but I am feeling a bit smug about both the MIN and DET losses.
DET's loss is as bad as GB's in 2011, both were 15 win teams. Feels like it adds to DET's history of futility/being cursed.

Man. I hit 10k posts and didn’t even realize it. At least one or two years got wiped when I was more active here.

[Fritz]

Darnold played terribly his last couple of games. They all lost playoff games to teams (Commanders, Eagles and Rams) that were playing very well down the stretch.

The older I get, the more I think playoff success is about playing your best ball at the right time. That and health. That's why last year seemed so promising - Green Bay was playing well at the end of the year, while this year, you could see the offense coughing and sputtering the last few weeks. And yes, the Lions could only overcome so many injuries - it was decimating - and Goff, if you can pressure him, will throw some INT's.

MLF and Love, I still say, carry the bulk of the blame along with the wide receivers, who couldn't even hold on to their balls the last few games.

[MadtownPacker]

Man. I hit 10k posts and didn’t even realize it. At least one or two years got wiped when I was more active here.
I don’t recall if that affected the count on your profiles.

[MadtownPacker]

If Stafford can run it with his old ass why didn’t Love. Maybe he was all jacked up from his knee?

[Joemailman]

If Stafford can run it with his old ass why didn’t Love. Maybe he was all jacked up from his knee?

Love only ran the ball 25 times in 2024, versus 50 in 2023. Rodgers in his prime ran about 60 times a year. Love needs to be more of a threat to run so opposing defenses can't just tee off on the pass rush.

[MadtownPacker]

I have seen some of his high school and college stuff and he seemed to run a decent amount.

[George Cumby]

If Stafford can run it with his old ass why didn’t Love. Maybe he was all jacked up from his knee?

That's what I'm saying. I think he was more dinged up from the season than we were led to believe and it was affecting his play, both throwing mechanics and ability to move. If you don't trust your body that can fuck with your head.

[Joemailman]

Wet snow on the field. Things could get even more slick as the temperature falls below freezing.

His OL isn't doing him any favors.

Fosco’s neighbor was Bob Ucker, so he’s arrogantly rich like a fucking Lannister. And like Jamie and Cersei Lannister not giving a fuck about what folks think of their fucks, I am sure Fosco gives zero fucks about what this humble burger flipper said.

[MadtownPacker]

Still just a big play from being tied mofo. Good game at least.

Interesting decision on the FG. TD feels like a KO vs a possible tie. And if you don’t get it - ravens only have 1 timeout and 3’min to go 99 yards. Idk.

I suppose play not to lose?

The second down play call was the screw up there. IMO they had to take the points.

I don't think Lamar should be dinged for losing. Mark Andrews had a game that will haunt him and fans for years.
I felt like even if BAL converts the 2pt that Josh Allen was going to get them in FG range. They had 1:33 and 2 timeouts and seemed to have their rhythm back in their offense after a 3Q lull.

Really good game between two very good teams. I'll be rooting for BUF from here.

Glad OSU won; they spent 22 million in NIL in the offseason. Football is going to be so money driven going forward. It's kinda sad. The great recruiters are devalued because if the players don't play immediately, they just leave. Crazy money in FB

You ain’t dig NIL and the transfer portal?

I thought you would be jolly. I mean, under the old system, your beloved Badgers couldn’t recruit QBs worth a duck. Nowadays, if a Joe Burrow is stuck on Ohio State’s depth chart, Wisconsin can pony up frogskins for the Burrow’s service.

It’s about time them young uns get paid to play. Futbol, unlike wimpy soccer, is a violent sport with omnipresent health risks. Compensation and free transfer are fair game.

[texaspackerbacker]

There's actually a tape of that? hahahaha - you oughta post a link so people would believe it.

There have been a helluva lot of Badger QBs playing in the NFL in recent decades - not exactly stars, but good enough to hang around.

I actually don't hate the portal shit or even the damn NIL simply for pragmatic reasons - meaning it seems to be a positive thing for the Badgers, football and basketball both, not to mention the women's sports where the Badgers tend to be among the very best in the country.

As for the players getting paid, yes but ...... Most of those getting NIL money are on the road to being NFL millionaires anyway. Those who aren't good enough - but still risking their necks and all other body parts - don't get much NIL anyway. Just making it straight out play for pay for everybody with a salary structure a little better for the better players might be a better way.

One semester worth of Russ Wilson ain’t denote QB whisperer, hombre. Alvarez couldn’t recruit QBs and neither do the fish who came after him.

Bills gotta know Mahomes will draw a couple roughing penalties. Make it count and put him out of the game.

No, no, no.
Just hit him clean. Beat the crap out of him. Keep him in the game. Serve him up what he isn’t used to.

There is no hitting him clean when he is protected. Defensive player gets within 2 feet of him and they get flagged.

I was referring to Sorgi, Bollinger, and several others whose names don't quite come to mind.

Yup, gotta be just a split second better.
Gotta beat the best to be the best.
