Packers come into the game having won 13 straight home openers, the longest such streak in the NFL. They have not lost a home opener since losing to the 49ers in 2012.
So it goes.

I can't run no more with that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen -

Two days after the Packers' 39-22 season-opening loss to the Vikings -- a game in which Skyy Moore made the seemingly risky decision to catch two punts off the bounce, returning them for 12 and 5 yards -- Achord was asked about the fine line between aggressiveness and unnecessary risk.
"When the ball hits the ground on average in the NFL, it rolls around 14 yards," Achord said. "So we're saving potentially 14 yards if we're able to field the ball off the bounce."
The natural follow-up, of course, was how in the heck does Achord know the average is 14 yards?
"You just gotta take the time to watch the plays and study," Achord said, explaining how a couple of years ago he charted every punt that hit the ground for a several-year stretch. I don't mind watching 3,000 punts," he said almost sheepishly. "Honestly, it probably took me two days to watch them all."

Go Pack Go!!But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Just lost $450 playing 1-3 NLH, which means it’s a guaranteed the Packers lose tonight. Just put $20 on the Dirty Birds at +208.
Blame Bobble for the Packers losing this game. Punk refuses to sponsor me so I could play PLO instead of boring as hockey NLH.I don’t want a battle from beginning to end
I don’t want a cycle of recycled revengeComment
