Thanks.
The Maroon Bells near Aspen, CO. We live about 100 miles west of there. I hiked/climbed the north Bell when I was young and brave. Multiple attempts at the south Bell but the weather did not cooperate.

I hope you will look me up. I'll usually be at Fan Assistance 109 -- that is, just inside the north doors from the Atrium and across from the entry into Section 109.Re: Packers' Next Opponent

Honestly, the way the defensive front for Washington matches up with Tampa - I like their chances. Brady hasn't been particularly good against playoff teams this year (actually have only beat us, that's it). They're 10-0 against teams not in the playoffs though. If Washington and that front can get Brady rattled, it will really be on the offense to do things... and that's where they could be in trouble. I have no idea who they plan on playing at QB with Smith injured, but don't be surprised if we see a couple of QB changes in this game.
Rams are not winning without Goff. So, it's gotta be Washington or Tampa.
Seriously though if Washington doesget by Tampa, because of that front - that could be an even worse matchup for us than Tampa. For some reason I'm fairly confident if we were to play Tampa again, it's just Brady that still gives me that "oh crap" feeling deep down, not so much their D anymore.

I will definitely look you up if I get tix. There will be a mad scramble next Tuesday morning on the Ticketmaster website to obtain tix.Bogey wrote: ↑08 Jan 2021 13:06Excellent!
It is interesting that the organization has decided to not allow ticket transfer. All tickets will be on the mobile phone app. I can understand this is a method to attempt to make sure it’s only Packer fans in the stands and possibly not reselling to opponent fans for big bucks. So all attendees in the same group will have to go through the gate at the same time. Bogey, are the gate attendants also going to make us show an ID?
Hope to see you soon!

Only lost twice with Haskins at QB and only lost by 5 to Seattle.
Their D is totally legit.

Absolutely. I think Washington can be a real big problem if we draw them. The spread for that game is ridiculous, I think Washington covers easily.BF004 wrote: ↑08 Jan 2021 14:48Look how they finished the year.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑08 Jan 2021 14:41Honestly, the way the defensive front for Washington matches up with Tampa - I like their chances.

Order that I don't want to see in the playoffs, #1 being the one I don't want to see the most:
1. New Orleans (Brees and Kamara)
2. Seattle (this D is playing much better too, it's like the O and D flipped)
3. Washington (Front 7)
3. Chicago (Rival)
4. Tampa (Tom)
5. L.A. (No other choice)

Saints
Seahens
Bucs
Rams
Football Team
Bears
The way our D has been playing, I full expect to be able to keep teams with bad offenses down.
I should be more afraid of Seattle than I am, their D has been playing better than ours down the stretch.

Hope you get tix! Yes, I believe ID will be required and I know that everyone in your "pod" has to enter with you. It's been the same for the games with Packer employees and front-liners. It's been pretty efficient and obviously worked well enough that they're expanding. Hopefully even more for the NFC Championship.

That. And they're just always hanging in there with us, which is irritating. Even in games where we appear to be dominating them, they always find a way to crawl back in the game. Last year we had them down 21-3 at the half and that game went into OT. We haven't put a full on whooping on them in probably close to half a decade.

I agree. I would rather play a team with a poor offense that our defense can keep in check. I think we should expect our offense to be able to put up 24 points. I think they can do that against all these teams.
What makes me nervous is when we know our offense needs to put up 34+ points. Now your margin of error drops.

Seattle doesn't both me. Their defense played some CAKE WALK teams the last half of the season.

Since we are posting Washington's defense and how they held teams, how about ours?!
