Official Packers vs. Patriots Discussion Thread

[ThunderDan]

Last time the Packers played the Pats in Lambeau it was a freezing day in 2006. The Pats won 35-0. Favre got knocked out of the game and ARod broke his foot. It was my first Packers game at Lambeau field.

But in 2006 Favre had a 72.7 QB rating for the year and had 18 TDs verses 18 INTs. 2014 will be completely different with ARod who prizes not turning the ball over and has a QB rating of 120+.

Brady will throw for at least 5 TD's against Capers.

Yeah

IT would be nice, for a change, if the Packers actually won a game instead of the other team losing it.

Not going to happen.

It's nice to see the doom-and-gloomers show up for a week when the (potentially) best team in the league is coming to town and the probability of a loss is up.

On the other hand, its nice to be surrendered to eight times in a season. Maybe Bill and Tom will be feeling generous.

FWIW, Pats have beaten the division leaders of the AFC North, West, and East, and the Lions. 3 of those were at home. They beat Indy in Indy.

They barely beat the Jets in Foxboro, 27-25.

Their 2 losses were on the road to >.500 teams. They lost to Miami in Miami and KC in KC.

I'm excited for this game. It's a potential signature game for the Packers, and it's at home and not in the pesky primetime slot.

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 hope teams keep letting us win all the way to the Lombardi trophy.

I'd prefer you break your arm in the x-ray machine.

Might need both.

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.

Happened in 2010, it can happen again!

The Dolphins are borderline good.

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

[Smidgeon]

And if the Packers somehow miraculously win??? You will sweep it away like them lucking their way to a SB??

That's his modus operandi.

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