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.
After two straight seasons of playing on Christmas, the Green Bay Packers visit the Carolina Panthers in Week 16 on Christmas Eve.
It ties for the latest visit to Carolina (Week 16 in 1997).
Including the postseason, the Packers are 11-6 (.647) against the Panthers.
The Packers are 5-4 at Carolina and are looking for their first win as the road team in the series since a 30-23 victory in 2011.
Green Bay has won both of the last two contests by the same score, 24-16 (2019-20). The Packers did not commit a turnover in either of those games.
Each of the last four games and six of the last seven games have been decided by eight points or less.
The Packers have scored 24-plus points in 15 of 17 games played against the Panthers in the regular and postseason, including in each of the last 10 contests.
This will be the second time this season (Weeks 2-3) that Green Bay will play back-to-back games against NFC South teams.
This is the first time the Packers have played games on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve in the same regular season. The Packers have played games in the same year on those days (1994), but the New Year's Eve contest was a playoff game:
Thanksgiving: N24, L at Dallas, 34-31
Christmas Eve: D24, W at Tampa Bay, 34-19
New Year's Eve: D31, NFC Wild Card, W vs. Detroit, 16-12
The Packers are 4-4 in games played at 12 p.m. CT or earlier this season.
For the third straight season and the fourth time in the last five, the Packers will finish the regular season with back-to-back NFC North contests. They will travel a state over to take on the Vikings in a prime-time matchup on New Year's Eve in Week 17 and then return home to face the Bears in the regular-season finale on either Jan. 6 or 7.

This could be like LA where we beat up on a cupcake opponent, on the heels of the Douglas trade that shocked everyone, and it improves morale greatly. Yet with how toxic the atmosphere around the team has gotten, I could also see our players on defense quitting and it costing us a game we have no business losing (I also kinda wonder if the players would see this as an opportunity to ruin CHI's shot at #1 overall).

that map shows the U. P. wont get the game either Pugger, however that could just be a extension of the lower peninsula by mistake, whatever I'am checking into possible streaming the game, was thinking that may work for you, good luck.
my greatest joy watching the team this year, like most others, is the progress with Love and these receivers, was hoping for more health with Watson and Musgrave, course the injury riddled Aaron Jones was a real let down too.
keeping Joe Barry was a tip right off the bat that the defense would not change much from last year, our only hope was a fast start from the offense, which I admit to being a bit over zealous about, still I think my double digit win season was easily reachable had Barry's defense even helped a little, his defense imho lost us 4 games.

We'll probably watch NFL Red Zone like we did last Sunday. It is interesting to watch this because we get to see big plays and those plays in the red zone of every game.
This will be a good test to see if the team has quit in their coaches or not. There’s definitely been something brewing defensively all season. Offensively the team seems pretty positive even when they don’t do well.
If we lose this one I think this entire coaching staffs goose is cooked come the end of the season.

MLF is safe until Murphy turns 70. Shouldn't be, but he is.

He should be safe with his resume and considering he has a first year QB and like $63M in dead cap this year.
He also doesn’t deserve to be fired yet. We are just seeing that we don’t know what he is long term without Rodgers, but he has enough equity to survive another season. Without a doubt.
I'm nervous about this game but maybe it's because I am still so disgusted at the performance of the team last week. We have no reason not to win easily, but we've proven we'll play down to the competition routinely.
I bet Campbell doesn't play the rest of the season. Why would he?
oh, I don't know, I would think he wants to impress whomever he hopes to play for next
from his comments (and play) I don't think he should have played last week
He wasn't even on the injury report last week.
That's what is weird about it.
Given how conservative the training staff is with injuries, I question his excuse making statement.
He and the defense didn't play well. Own it. Sure, the DC didn't do them any favors but you still gotta own that &%$@. That, or have the courage to call out the real culprit (Barry).
