---I'm a big believer in intangibles. I think this is a major negative for this team that is run by such a creature of habit. This really wrenched their plan and prep by getting into Atlanta so much later than planned from the 4pm Eastern hour to 7pm...that's a 3 hour tardy. They have to fast track everything. Rush, rush, rush. I don't think this is good for the way our team operates. Hope they don't come out looking as unsettled as their flight situation today but I wouldn't discount that possibility.

Heck, they don't get in until after 7 eastern which I'm sure is well after the team eats dinner the night before. Rodgers lamented in his last presser that they were also staying in a hotel much further away than normal which might mess up some dinner plans. Now, they're in much later and far away. I hope those peanuts on the plan are packed with super protein power so we ain't listless tomorrow.

All I'm seeing is Packers win tomorrow. I see nothing else.

---

I believe in it, also, but I'm extra curious to see how they come out of the gates tomorrow.

A Packers win tomorrow has nothing to do with how a delayed flight might alter their prep and plan for this evening. That is a concern.

---

Now, it's an over 4 hour delay? I'm sure the team meal wasn't on the plane. So, they arrive in Atlanta needing to eat and do their regular routine also? Major disruption.

I'm sorry but this is a big story and will surely be brought up if the Packers don't walk away victorious tomorrow.

It's hard to believe that nobody was paying attention to the weather and they got delayed like this. Whomever is in charge of travel arrangements is probably looking for work now.

The story is the Packers charter plane couldn't land in Green Bay to take them to Atlanta. That plane which I read was previously delayed in MSP wasn't cleared in Green Bay so it had to land in Milwaukee. What a disaster. A 2 hour bus ride the night before you're playing for a shot at the show? So disappointing this happened.

Talk on twitter is teams should be flying on Friday to avoid just such situations. Lesson learned. Hopefully, not the hard way.

I was confident Packers were going to win tomorrow. After reading all of your comments, I've lot faith and hope. You've ruined my excitement. I was really looking forward to the game, but you're right. You are right. This is huge. This is a huge story and its disgraceful the team lost four hours the day before the game. They might be professionals, but they can't overcome this. I hope for Jordy Nelson health he sits out because theres just no point in risking a punctured lung.



Wait, hold on. NO! We got this!! WE GOT THIS SHIT LETS FUCKING GO ROAST SOME BIRDS!!!!

I love when you go bipolar in the same posting.

Atlanta is just growing more overconfident with all of our troubles.

---

just offsets the Shanahan distraction for the Falcons. We are back to even on that front now.

Somebody better look into that pilots past. Me thinks he has some viking blood in there somewhere.

If multimillion dollar men can't handle a flight delay, they need not be multimillion dollar men.

This is an issue. Those guys are just guys like you and me.

How would you be affected if you had some big presentation to give at work and the day before you went through this?

Would you be more likely to give a better presentation if things went as planned or how they went for the Packers? Doesn't mean you might not give a great presentation but it surely doesn't help ensure you will.

Well, I tend to think this 2016/2017 Packer team loves adversity and challenges.

In Fact I feel they feed on it, embrace it, need it, want it, and love it. Ever since Aaron proclaimed, "Run The Table."

Packer Fans HAVE A VERY SPECIAL TEAM this year. Injuries or flight delays, mean shit, to a team with a destiny. It is about mental toughness.
