Throwing the football in cold and snowy weather is not that hard to do. Especially when you have the talent to play QB in the NFL. I mean, I can throw a football in that weather. If I can, an NFL QB should be able to do so as well, especially one with the talents of Aaron Rodgers. :thumbleft:
The only thing Packer fans should worry about is WIND!!!!!
Wind changes everything. A windy game would put the Packers at a huge disadvantage. That is why I would not want to play at Chicago in the postseason. That would put Green Bay in a tough bind if the game is windy and it usually is that time of the year in Chicago.

Agreed.
Tahoe is a 4 hour drive from where we live. As I haven't lived in the Midwest in 30+ years, I'm not used to the snow. We played sandlot in Tahoe many times and I can tell you from experience, throwing in the snow is easy, even for a guy not used to the snow.
Now, the elevation is tough to get used to. We all got winded sooner than usual. And you're completely right about the wind. Throwing in wind, forget it.
Back to the topic, every time we lose a game, are we going to panic about RBs? My word.
As I didn't see the game, the play-by-play still shows that execution killed us. We had 3rd and 1 from the Atlanta 4 and Nance got a 0 yard run. Had we passed and completed it, we most likely had a TD drive instead of a FG drive (or maybe even got it in the end zone on that play). That's 4 points left on the board right there.
We missed a completion from the Atlanta 2 yard line. It was followed 2 plays later by a fumble and 0 points. That's 7 points left on the board there.
Later on in the game, we had 3rd and 1 from the Atlanta 41 yard line. We threw 2 straight incompletions and turned the ball over. Hypothetically, that's 3 points left on the board there had we completed one of those passes. We should have been able to get 8 yards in the next 3 plays and Crosby's got a good leg (as much as Packer fans dislike the guy, check his stats).
So that's a total of 14 points we left on the board. For argument's sake, let's say Finley never got injured. He's bigger and stronger than a CB or a S and faster than a LB. In 1 yard situations, forget it. If Bubba Franks can consistently get 1 yard completions...
It's all execution. We had the opportunities to win this game by double digits. We didn't execute.
