I don't really expect it, but maybe Brady living in Florida has affected his ability to shake off the cold. Some of it is what you are used to. Going from one extreme to the other can be jarring. Also, even if Brady and Gronk are used to the cold, it doesn't mean the rest of the team is.

I feel like the Packers have a slight edge in this regard. They are practicing in the cold. I don't think MM did much of that. I know Bill Belichek made his team practice in the cold.I feel better about Rodgers at Lambeau field than away.

Still, Brady is extremely competitive and will have his team playing hard. Again, the Packers need to protect the ball and not commit stupid penalties. In other words, the Packers can't beat themselves.

I fully agree with you. I mean I have gone South for 2 weeks in the winter and when you come back to Wisconsin winter, it feels colder than "normal". Even Brady himself has made mention about how much he loves the warm weather in Florida. He may be fine once the game starts, but I imagine the first thing out of his mouth when he lands in Green Bay and feels the cold will be "I sure don't miss this sh*t".

The thing is, it's not going to be that cold tomorrow. 29 degrees isn't that cold for young guys that are exerting themselves.

It'll feel more like 23-25 with the chill factor. And some of their guys might think it feels like -2 given that they are used to 70s and 80s this time of year.

The weather will benefit the home team, even if just slightly. I hope it isn't sunny as that would help knock some of the chill off as well though.

But at the end of the day, the winner will ultimately be the team that plays better. The Packers have to be ready to go from the opening kickoff until the final whistle.

Im about 99 percent packers always practice in cold under.mm

I've been to NC when it was in the mid/low 60's and everyone was all bundled up looking at me n my group like we were out of our damn minds wearing shorts and t-shirt.

Its not about practicing in the cold. Its that we live in it

No matter how that dbag Arians tries to spin it..it will be cold! Especially if it's shady or cloudy. You can guarantee some of their guys will mail it in. I just hope the field has a nice crust on it .and they all forget their longer cleats.

Up to 3 inches of snow

I don't think the weather will be a factor, unless you are on the sidelines the entire game......It's football weather......

Florida teams have a poor record at Lambeau IIRC, especially late in the year.

Yup, I am embarrassed to admit that I am one of those people. Those of you that never left the cold would never understand.

Supposed to be done before game..but temp will be 29..feel like 23.

So we just going to ignore that Rodgers in interviews looks like he allready has his ring size measured?

Well its been a Packers love fest all week on the radio, lets hope the team hasnt been soaking it all in because Brady has a tendency to show up in games like this and cold weather aint gonna mean much im afraid

Where?

 

[tynimiller]

I'll lay down some predictions like I normally do:

-Rodgers and Brady both don't get out of this game without a turnover. For some reason I'm thinking Brady's is a INT or two thrown while I feel a Rodgers fumble happens.

-Davante goes double digits receptions and one TD
-Tonyan has a great quiet game with no TDs, but a few clutch receptions
-Big Dawg finds the endzone
-IF all three backs don't get hurt, I'm predicting all three again break 200 all purpose yards, each with 40 yards rushing minimum.
-Preston Smith plays arguably his best game of the season on the defensive side
-Our defense is an up and down experience like normal but big plays and timely sacks save the day

I'll go Packers 38 Buccs 24 in a game that feels closer than it is the entire game.

Where?

How about his "Tommorows a mystery" interview.

Hes just so chill its like his ring is allready on back order and he's just waiting for the Amazon alert

I find that somewhat encouraging because that would indicate that our defense is playing well.
I do expect it to be a hard fought game.

Not here in NE. All it’s been is Rodgers bashing and Brady worshipping.

Im about 99 percent packers always practice in cold under.mm

All I can remember are pictures of the team practicing in the Don Hutson on cold days under MM.
