Our team is built to win in the cold. I don't think our play caller is. The passing game looks like a dome offense outdoors.

So did the 49ers. They just had a better running quarterback 😉 Maybe if Rodgers was actually playing healthy he could have taken off a couple more times...

I also would put our offense up against anybody's. I mean, did anybody else notice that Aaron's throws were unaffected by the conditions on Sunday? He has spectacular arm-strength and accuracy. I know some believe that a dome would favor our offense, but I think the cold gives us a greater advantage. In a dome there is a level playing field for quarterbacks, but outdoors I know we always have an edge because we have Aaron Rodgers. Also, (most of) our receivers don't really ever drop the ball, and we have several brutally physical running backs. Pretty favorable situation if you ask me.

I'd love to have their defense though. That defense with our offense would be an almost unstoppable football team.

early season/middle season/late season, good weather/bad weather, the distinctions are greatly overrated. It basically takes the same things to win anytime. Last Sunday's game had about as extreme weather as you will see, and there wasn't much if any adjustment done or needed. That kinda was a detriment to the Packers, as I remember the real Ice Bowl - frozen and SLIPPERY field, and that sort of thing would have helped the Packers - or more precisely, hurt them less. The Niners were the better team, personnel-wise, and bad conditions tends to help the slower, less athletic team.

Packers offense isn't the problem, the defense is!

It's unfortunate and unfair to Aaron Rodgers that he has to play so well for the team to win, but it's the truth.

The team tends to win a lot of December games if I remember correctly. Can't really argue with results. People make too big of a deal about teams "being built for cold weather". For the most part it's just a made up story line pushed by the media types. This team can throw the ball in the cold and it can run the ball well enough. Defensive consistency has been pretty terrible over the years. Teams lose for the most part to other teams that are simply better or more consistent. Being "built" the right way is a much smaller part of the equation.

IMO "being built for outside" has less to do with being able to pass, and more to do with being able to run and pound the ball between the tackles. The last few years we were not, but this year we made a huge stride in that aspect.

Now if you had told me before the game that we would get 26 rushes and 4.3 average from out RBs, Get one turnover and not commit any and only get called for 3 penalties, I would never have guessed a loss.

Zero2Cool (37m) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (14h) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break

wpr (15-Nov) : wow. That three different things for the kid.
