    Official Packers vs Giants at London Discussion Thread

    Packers lead all-time series 34-26-2. 29-23-2 in regular season, 5-3 in playoffs.

    Last meeting: December 1, 2019. Packers defeated Giants 31-13. Aaron Rodgers threw for 243 yards and 4 TD's. Daniel Jones had 240 yards with 1 TD and 3 INT's.

    Guess what? Both teams will want to run the ball. Giants rank #1 in the NFL in rushing yards. Packers are #7. Saquon Barkley has rushed for 463 yards, averaging 5.5 YPC. QB Daniel Jones has rushed for 193 yards. However, he has an ankle injury and will probably be limited, if he plays at all. Jones has thrown for only 631 yards with 3 TD's and 2 INT's. He has been sacked 14 times.

    Neither defense has been very good at stopping the run, Packers ranking 22nd and Giants 28th. Both teams defend the pass well, Packers ranking 3rd and Giants ranking 8th.

    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up

    Kenny Clark turned 27 today. He might be even better this year, in the best shape of his career. Wonder how many years he’ll keep producing for.

      Too fucking early in the morning. I really hope the NFL doesn't steal a home game again from the Packers in two years.

        Let's hope Joe Barely doesn't trot out the nickel and stay with it while the Gints are running and running and running.

        I wonder when the Packers will fly over there? Do you go early so the team can adjust to the time change and maybe go see a play at the Stratford Theatre? Or do you just ship 'em over right before so they can be in the comforts of the home environs for as long as possible?

          I think they're flying out Thursday after practice. Will arrive early Friday morning.

            I think that makes sense - they can acclimate a little bit so maybe it doesn't feel like they're playing a game at 8:30 in the morning.

              Barkley should be the focus. Richie James is their leading receiver and both Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor were hurt last week. If Jones goes he won't be as mobile, which is a big part of his game. I think he struggles with his reads. Taylor is usually safe if unspectacular, he's a good backup but he's no Aaron Rodgers. Their OL is.. ok? Stop the run, plaster the receivers.

              On defense they're not as good as TB or NE. They have a few very good pieces, but their pass rush is middling and they haven't been great against the run either. If 2nd half Rodgers shows up in London they should win this going away, but I worry it will actually be Nic Cage stepping off the plane and acting like he's in Bad Lieutenant 2.

              There's plenty from the last game for GB to improve from, maybe the public reaction to the game will light a fire. Maybe the jet lag will get them. GB is the better team in more of the places where it matters and should be favored by a good amount in this game but I feel like this and every other game will be a struggle a la 2019.

                What we know, and what we don’t know, about the Giants after 4 games
                https://www.bigblueview.com/2022/10/5/23387595/what-we-know-and-what-we-dont-know-about-the-giants-after-four-games
                We have learned some things, but there are still many questions to be answered


                Also: Daniel Jones practiced today. I think it's fair to assume he'll play Sunday. Giants have a long injury list -- longer than the Packers. Sterling Shepard on season-ending IR, and most of their WRs are hurt.
                Like I said above, Barkley should be the focus for the defense.

                Also, I'm hoping for a Christian Watson break-out game. Just a hunch.

                    Well a 9am fuck you game. Don't care, more then likely won't be awake.
                    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

                      Go root for the Queens then, punk.

                      Btw, the Packers signed former Queens ILB Eric Wilson. Dog fucker, err, fuckdoggle, award alert.

                        Good news on Jaire and Amos. Not so good on Wyatt.

                          He has to play, and play well. But it would be perfect if he did so for the second MN game.

                            Matt Lafleur being super uptight, calling it a business trip and saying players can go see London when they’re not playing a game and saying he stayed in the hotel on his previous trips and saying players should do the right thing. Rodgers saying they want to go out to a pub and have a Guinness and see the culture.

                            We’ll see how they handle it.

                              Don't turn the ball over (turnovers are killing them) and tackle Barkley. That will get them most of the way.
                              Rodgers can drink all he wants after he plays like an MVP.
