This will be the Divisional game weekend at Lambeau Field in the cold. Temps are supposed to be the low 30's and that doesn't bode well for us. Many pundits don't give us much of a chance in the cold because we have a terrible history of losses playing playoff games in the cold dating back to all those losses to the Vikings in the 70's. We are also not a healthy team either. With Goff, Kupp, AD, Edwards and Whitworth with injuries, those sorts of things don't respond well to lots of cold. So presently, everyone is taking Green Bay for the win.

One advantage is McVay knows the Green Bay offense that is ole buddy Matt LaFleur runs so Staley should have a field day. We can beat these guys, but we are going to have to play like we did in Seattle. Also, McVay has a tendency to go soft when he is coaching against his friends like for say what happens when he faces Kyle Shanihan. If we get behind early, will probably lose but this would be the perfect game to outcoach his mentee by switching to the Jumbo and run it down their throats. Our D, especially Ramsey covering Devontae Adams could really slow Rodgers down enough for us to get an advantage.

We shall see how things go. Should be fun to see how we come out.

I think these Rams remind me of an eventual Snooperbowl winner back in the 2007 NFL season. That being the New York Geeants with Manning at the QB and one helluva a defense. They came from the Wild-Card round to win it all and we have that chance if we just stop shooting ourselves in the foot with dumb shit!!

Hopefully this is not what happens.


Rams quarterback Jared Goff, assuming his surgically repaired thumb allows him to start, has not fared well in his two cold-weather starts. In games he started with the temperature below freezing, he's a combined 34-for-72 for 381 yards with no touchdowns and five interceptions. That's a combined passer rating of 64.58. He was especially bad in a 15-6 loss at Chicago in 2018 with no touchdowns and four picks in a 20-for-44 game for 180 yards.

Yep. If we put it out of mind and attack all day and make life miserable for Rodgers, I think we will have a great game but we need to play TO-free.

I think if we come out like we did in Seattle and against the Cardinals, I think the cold will not be a factor and I see us whippin' Aaron Rodgers all day.

Depending on where the rib cartilage or ligaments ruptured, sometimes it hurts to breathe and sometimes you don't feel a thing.

I am quite certain we should come out on Saturday dressed like this:

Just can’t see a win. To cold for LA people Especially in Green Bay. Our defense would have to knock Rogers out on the very first play.

Looks like Goff is going to be the guy on Saturday.

Unless McVay plans on running the jumbo offense and limit Goff’s attempts, expect a loss.

Goff is terrible in cold weather, and that was with a good thumb.

if McVay doesn’t lean on the run game and defense to win, it will not be a pretty sight on Saturday.
