Official Packers vs. Patriots Game Day Thread

[Brandon494]

Call me crazy - but I have an okay feeling about this game. Preseason (and up until last week) - I and 90% of fans out there pencilied this a L. Now that Flynn is in - it's up to 98%.

I think this may be a bit of a trap - and the Pack may play inspired ball.

I look for this to be much closer than most are thinking and it coming down to the 4th Q.

From there - it's hard to bet against mr. 4th quarter...

27-23

I don't think your crazy at all and I actually think it will be a low scoring game but Pats will win it 13-9.

I really hope it's that kind of game.

I was thinking about this : when, exactly, was the last time the Packers beat a team they were REALLY not expected to beat? With the topsy-turvy nature of an NFL season, it seems to me that we rarely ever are the ones doing the upsetting.

By the way, in my humble opinion, our best shot tonight is not to play it safe, expecting Flynn, with so little experience, to dink & dunk down the field - and rely on 14 play drives to score. That is expecting 14 plays withourt a mistake. And that is playing into The Hooded One's hands.
No, dear friends, I think the best way to go is to allow Flynn to throw deep - often. I would rather put my money on Jennings, Driver, Jones, et all to win the battle against the Patriot defensive backs - or get the all-too-common pass interference calls. If we can't pass protect well enough to allow this, we do not deserve to win, anyway.
The old Oakland Raider playbook needs to be referenced.
a. Air it out.
b. Appeal to your defense's sense of pride.

I feel good about this game b/c Bretsky keeps saying GB's going to get smoked.

Jets on the road

mmmm..... I don't remember feeling that this was much of an 'upset' at all. Mark Sanchez???
No, don't think that qualifies.

[Joemailman]

It's not that often the Packers are the underdog. There really aren't that many opportunities to pull upsets. The Jets game may be the only one this year where they were the underdog, and they won. Don't remember who was favored when they played at Philly

Can't believe this is the Packer game I get to see. I live in Rhode Island and of course on;y get to see the Packers every 5 years or so when they come to NE. I will take what i can get, but I am not to hopeful that the Pack can pull this off with no AROD.

I will medicate properly , been saving a 20 year old bottle of Glenlevit single malt for the occasion

GO PACK GO, at least make it a game, maybe Dom with pull a rabbit outta his hat, leaving in about 30 minutes to begin the medication process and I will be flying the colors

[jklowan]

Oh and this will be my first visit to the new stadium

obligatory game day post

[channtheman]

I actually think us somehow winning this game would hurt the Packers. I do not think the Packers will win their last 3 games and so if they win tonight, I think they will lay an egg against the Giants or the Bears. I say rest anyone who is injured, get them back for the final week, and beat the Giants and Bears and make the playoffs.

James Starks is inactive tonight.

Might be on to something here, cause if we lose and the Bears wrap up the division next week, then they have nothing to play for against us at Lambeau and might only play starters for a half at best. If we win tonight then at worst we remain two back with two to go.

I don't understand this at all.
