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.
Pointless? If MN stumbles we could still get the top WC spot, right?
Sure. On paper. Either way, we will be on the road for our entire playoff run. This game will be more about pride than anything. The Vikes could try to get the first seed, but that isn't a given.
5th seed could host. It would not be all that improbable. GB and MN win their round 1 games. Go into Philly and Detroit and win. 5th seed hosts.
I think there is a great chance the NFC Championship is GB vs MN.
A big question is where the game will be. This Sunday is a huge, huge game.

At this point I’d just as soon have the Packers take to the road for their playoff journey. This year, anyway.
Love and the offense execute better in an indoor environment. Those plays I keep hearing people reference from last night as “misses” are likely hits playing in the comfort of a dome.
The Packers really haven’t shown Lambeau to be of great advantage (of late) against good teams. If anything, the Packers appear to be the team most impacted when the weather turns ugly with poor execution. I’d just as soon they compete in an environment where they’re at their best.
Gimme matchups against Minny and Detroit in their house. I like our chances.

I used to think that until I started hearing more and more how much the offense struggled with the silent count in loud Ford Field and that's a big reason why the pass rush was so effective right away.
I think our defense is better in Lambeau. I think they are feeding off the crowd. I also believe we are suited just fine to play outdoors as Josh Jacobs, Wilson, Kraft, and Brooks makes opponents pay the price when trying to tackle us.
I think we can win anywhere, but I also believe we are more suited to win in Lambeau in January now than we were in 2020 or 2022.

I'd say this team above any other in 30 years is built for January in Lambeau.
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."

I don't dispute your point. But I think the main issue that we've had in recent years was playing against hard-hitting, bruising teams. I feel like our offense is more like that this year. And other defenses are less like that (like the Bucs and Niners that've had our numbers recently). That's why I like our chances anyplace that we play.
Come on down and try some of our delicious green chili! Best in the world!

Frankly the 2024 Packers is the hard hitting hitting team. Esepcially when you have Jacobs, Cooper, Williams and Bullard active on gameday.
Look, the Vikings beat us. They have a better record. They're in the hunt for the division and the 1-seed. You have some space to look down on us right now.
Oh I fully expect the Vikings to lose this week. It's the Viking thing to do. And I'm not looking down on any team. Just about any other division the Packers would be leading. the division. I fully expect the NFC Super Bowl team to come from this division. Which one? Don't know. They are more evenly matched then people think. Whoever wins the turnover battle will most likely win this coming game.
I came into this world KICKING and screaming, naked, and covered in blood that wasn't mine.
I am prepared to go out the same way if I need to.

Yeah. I think the more realistic goal for this team is continual improvement. And if that occurs, it won't matter where we play. Other teams say that too. But they don't have a record of that happening in January. Green Bay does.
:-)
Past record does not guarantee future success.

Game ball to Mark Murphy. 13 playoff appearances during his 17-year tenure, most in the league during that span. If that ain't a sign of a well-built and well-maintained organization, dunno what is. Winning another SB and then hosting the draft in Titletown sure would be a fitting end to Murphy's career...
last night seemed an opportune game to work on route timing and chemistry, and we did for a series late 3rd quarter I believe, then that stuff went to the back burner ( is Lafleur attempting to keep some pass routes or schemes under wraps?) the drag routes are so effective, one or the other receiver usually gets open, Love had 3 straight completion on that series I think ended in a FG, bingo, bango, bongo, matriculating that pig for 40 yards and change, awesome, then back to iso routes, and relying on the RB's which is great, but we had this game on ice, why not give LOve and the receivers some confidence builders, jmo
The Glory is back in Titletown post-Rodgers. And Ringo couldn't be happier. That holiday spirit at Lambeau last night was super uplifting. If the defense can get healthy for 4 quarters over the next 4 games then another NFCCG will likely happen. My Gutey autograph is gaining stature. I'm loving #2 too. With the offensive line playing so well this offense is cookin' ala '96 with Bennett, Levins and Henderson ...... Chewy and Jackson, and the receivers. Now we've got 3 RBs, 2 QBs, Kraft (maybe #88), 5 receivers, a solid offensive line, and plenty of imagination in the offensive game plan. The offensive coaches seem to have it figured out finally. The kicker is we have one! It's all up to the defense now.
Impressive. Shutting out a team that's missing their starting QB, RB, two top WR's and a few other players. I wonder how the Packers would do with Love, Jacobs, Reed and Watson on the sideline.
And yet what we did has never been done in the 100+ year history of the NFL!
AND we are first team to shut out a team in 2024!
And the only people who give a damn will be Packer fans.
Imagine that, packers fan sharing packers statistics with other packers fan on a packers forum. The outrage.
