Pats-Pack line dropped to Pack -2.5. That's suddenly too much respect for the Pats and not enough for the Pack. I don't like this!!!

Good news: High of 32 today. Bad news: That's now. Kickoff about 13. Wind chills around 0 or worse by end of game. #Packers #GBvsNE

It was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me, won't you let me know?

Bill has to tell us is this smart late money or dumb late money.

It's a cold November day at Lambeau Field.

If you watched any of the TV pregame shows on CBS, Fox, ESPN or the NFLN they don't think too much of our team outside of Rodgers and some even think we're gonna get blown out.

So, company Christmas party tonight, I'm bloody loaded (http://millstreetbrewery.com/#/ourbeers/ - drinking the 100th Meridian) and I figure I'm not going to be conscious in time for the 1pm kick-off. Don't want to be on record as the first schmuck ever to miss kick-off time to start the gameday thread, so here it is now!

Gut check game time, this one is huge. Top notch opponent, a win here is a big statement. After 2 weeks of silliness, the Packers game down to earth last week, and were reminded this is a league where parity rules.

So everyone's talking about Gronkowski. Well, he's a pretty formidable Pollock (or Ukrainian?) but really, it's not about him, it's Brady or bust for that team. I still think Bledsoe got a shitty deal, but 4 rings is 4 rings, right?

C'mon Guiness, not only the start time for the game is wrong but Brady didn't win any 4 rings. How do you expect the Packers to play a clean, crisp game when the game thread is error filled.

It's almost like you were drunk or something.

Really .......... this game is HUGE !

I've got Brady and Gronk in a FanDuel tourney today.

Knowing how I run when I stack for matchups like that, they'll probably total 15 points.

Its too cold to play football, that has got to favor the Packers...

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Too cold to go ice fishing, too cold to go hunting, may as well stay home, watch the game, and get wasted...

I don't think a thread title advocating drink is appropriate.
