Packers' Next Opponent

[Pckfn23]

Brady clearly has cold weather experience, but also hasn't won a cold weather outdoor football playoff game in almost 2 years.

So it has been a while for him and for that team, the coldest game they played all year was in week at the Giants on November 2nd. Game they essentially didn't win, but the Giants lost.

Don't care what you say, that weather is a bit of a shock if you haven't been exposed to it.

Give him what the Giants gave Favre in 2007 and we will win that game going away. Take away the short to intermediate routes and the deep middle. Let our corners contest the deep sidelines.

I was referring to the Football Team this week.

But yes, if they come to Lambeau.

No magic blueprint. Punch them in the mouth on the LOS both sides, get pressure with 4 all day, protect our QB. Run the ball more efficiently than them, don't turn the ball over.

When is the last time the #1 seed played the #4 seed?

I believe it is very rare for all wild card home teams to win.

Tampa's stadium is outdoors? Outdoor playoff game? Outdoor January game?

Playoff game.

I believe it is very rare for all wild card home teams to win.

2016 saw both the NFC and AFC have 3 at 2 and 4 at 1 in the divisional round. We beat the Cowboys.

That was the last time.

The NFC saw 4 at 1 and 3 at 2 in 2014.

2011 was also 4 at 1 and 3 at 2 for both conferences.

There is your 2010's.

I believe it is very rare for all wild card home teams to win.

2016 playoffs - Green Bay @ Dallas
2016 playoffs - Houston @ New England
2014 playoffs - Carolina @ Seattle
2012 playoffs - Baltimore @ Denver
2011 playoffs - New York @ Green Bay
2011 playoffs - Denver @ New England
2009 playoffs - Arizona @ New Orleans
2006 playoffs - New England @ San Diego
2006 playoffs - Seattle @ Chicago
2003 playoffs - Green Bay @ Philadelphia
2002 playoffs - New York @ Oakland
2001 playoffs - Green Bay @ St. Louis
2000 playoffs - Baltimore @ Tennessee
2000 playoffs - Philadelphia @ New York

So I guess not that rare, but definitely becoming more rare than it was.

Just by a quick scam, it looked like the most likely match up for the #1 in the divisional round was the 6. 1 seed against the 5 seed looked like the most rare.

Kind of surprised no one is voting for the Rams.

Kind of surprised no one is voting for the Rams.

I wonder if Jared Goff would be a go if the Rams pull the upset in GB.

I also wonder how effective Goff would be with a broken thumb in the cold.

I just got done watching that Goff vs Wilson Rams vs Seahawks game. Goff sucks and Seattle will kill them.

Goff is so hit and miss. When he plays well, or even decent, the Rams O is dangerous. Those are the games he’s getting the ball to those weapons and the Rams offense really goes. When he’s off, tho, he’s just terrible. Bad decisions, inaccurate, and indecisive. Thing is, tho, that defense is good enough that even when Goff is off, they can still steal a win.

I don’t see Goff putting together the consistency needed to make a 4-game run at a championship but I could certainly see him having a good game or two and, combined with that defense, knocking off a favored team.

Now watch the Rams-Bucs game.

[go pak go]

Everyone here is aware that Goff is hurt and likely won't play again right?

Yes, but if he does it may be a different story.

[BF004]

Everyone here is aware that Goff is hurt and likely won't play again right?

I mean, isn’t that a reason to like the Rams odds more?

Goff is up and down. There was a time in November he looked legit. I mean the Rams scored 18 points with 7 of them coming from a Pick 6.

[mention]go pak go[/mention] the playoff teams that played those respective teams in the last 6 weeks of the reason. It's to prove the defense didn't get to top 6 in those 6 weeks just by playing inferior offenses.

[Pckfn23]

Unlike the Seahawks who played a plethora of bad offenses
