From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
The Green Bay Packers (3-2) return from overseas to host the New York Jets (3-2) this Sunday.
The Packers have won three straight over the Jets, including their last home game, a 31-24 victory in 2014.
Each of the last three games against the Jets have been decided by single digits.
In four of the last five contests, the winning team has scored 30-plus points.
Of the 13 matchups, two have gone to overtime, including the last contest in 2018.
It is the first time since 2010 that Green Bay plays both New York teams in the same season
This is the second time Green Bay has played the New York teams in back-to-back weeks (Weeks 2-3 in 1985).
This will be the first time the Packers have a 12 p.m. CT kickoff this season and the first of three scheduled in the next four weeks. Green Bay is 14-3 in games played at 12 p.m. CT since 2019.

I am very on the fence about this game. It's a classic one we would lose. Part of me thinks the issues continue and we can't put together a whole game. Another part of me thinks that this is exactly the kind of game that gets us back on track.
Never lost 2 regular season games in a row. Week 2, after a loss, came out and boot stomped the Bears.

We're at home. 'Sounds like NYJ is figuring things out, and their HC is a defense-minded coach who has made Rodgers look bad, but they still have a pretty mediocre at best roster and a long way to go. We will win, maybe not as decisively as we ought to though.

We've tended to carry from previous game into first half of second game, then swapped 2nd half.
Might start out a little slow here, little hangover from last week, but I suspect they'll turn it on and win convincingly.
This is a team that loves to do playaction, and we've been awful against it. But I do expect our coaching staff to do something about that. Other than inept special teams, we've been pretty good at not getting beat by the same thing over and over under LaFleur.

I am not a Newman fan, but I am not a major detractor. Newman can be a solid player once he gets the mental part down. For better or for worse, he is getting more starting experience, and that theoretically could lead to him figuring it out.
Tom will probably not be that much better at RG (if at all) and any "upside" argument can made in about equal measure for Newman; this is still a second-year player we are talking about.
We are used to seeing young OL step in and excel pretty early, but it's not an easy transition. Look at Sean Rhyan. Whatever you think of Newman, our recent Day 2 rookie OL with *lots* of college starting experience didn't come close to challenging him. Not to say this proves how good Newman is, just that playing pro OL is harder than it looks
I would probably roll Bakh-JRJ-Myers-Jenkins-Tom but that's mainly because I have an irrationally high opinion of Tom at OT. Otherwise, I would probably stick with the current setup. Nijman to me is too much of a finesse player for RT duties.

Can they not come out flat and play all 4 quarters at a high level? Will Barry abandon the zone? Will LaCoach go with a running game plan for a change? Will the blitz be used to "game change" the defense. These are the things I'll be watching for.

I am expecting a postgame report from you about which of these boxes the team ended up checking.
The Jets WR corps ain't half bad with Corey Davis and the youngsters, Elijah Moore and Garrett Wilson. They have talent. Fortunately for the Packers, Zach Wilson is melted banana split sundae - all over the damn place. Knowing Barry, he'll give Wilson the Daniel Jones treatment and make him look like an all-star.
I see this as a win but, like others here, not as comfortable a win as it should be.
Side note: It's week six and the most consistent unit has been special teams. Had I predicted that in the pre-season "Bold Predictions" thread, you all would've laughed me off the forum.

Proof results matter. Really really stupid delay of game on a field goal and a bad fumbled punt. Very close to potentially a 10 point swing and the leading reason we lose. Instead it doesn’t hurt us at all. Funny game sometimes like that.
I would probably roll Bakh-JRJ-Myers-Jenkins-Tom but that's mainly because I have an irrationally high opinion of Tom at OT.
Then I'm irrational with you because this is what I want. You absolutely don't mess with the left side at this point. You're not going to mess with Myers. Jenkins and Tom should be some combo of the right side.
