Week 1 GODS @ queens

[PackerfaninCarolina]

Well ... I will say while it's still early and not our game, the Texans offense sure hasn't seemed to have gotten the COVID memo from @Poppa San lol.

Just throwing that out there anyway

I like Reid's foggy face mask. Did I just hear Mahomes audible to "Lambeau! Lambeau!"

Speaking of audibles, I’d like to hear Orange Bozo come out of Rodger’s mouth again this year. Have no idea what it means.

 

[Pugger]

Vikes open as three-point favorites. If we can't contain Cook, despite having all offseason to prepare for him, this may be a long season.

Three points isn't much. Don't they automatically give the home team 3? I have no clue what to expect this year. This is the first time I can remember not waiting on pins and needles for the season to start.

Lol, I knew someone was going to go there!

 

[Mondio]

i figured it was a set up

wasn't it New York Bozo?

It's been both. NY Bozo goes back to around 2014. Orange Bozo is from around 2015, say, during a certain campaign. And you thought I was joking.

Packers rule out Randy Ramsey for Sunday's game at Minnesota. Montravius Adams and Billy Turner listed as doubtful. Raven Greene is questionable to play.

 

[weeds]

WHAT??? Adams is hurt??? That man's man?? Say it isn't so.

I don't think they automatically do, someone correct me if I'm wrong, maybe in close matchups like this they favor the home team.

Minnesota
Danielle Hunter on IR + unproven at CB + suspect interior D-line + O-Line still below average + Kirk Cousins at QB=Green Bay steamrolling!!!

If Green Bay's defense against the run game improves, and Aaron Jones puts Minnesota's front 7 on skates, then Rodgers and Adams are gonna feast off play-action.

Rodgers: 3TDs and 275 yards, completion % over 70

Adams: 2 TDs and 175 yards receiving

Jones: 1 TD and 110 yards rushing + 1 TD and 50 yards receiving

Defense: 4 sacks, fumble, and 2 INTs

There is no home field advantage this year

 

[JK64]

I fully expect us to run at will over the left side and get a lot of slants and passes in the flat exposing their CB’s.

This is NOT Rodgers' M.O. He is always looking for the big play and often holding the ball to long. I agree, the strategy you describe would be effective, though.

 

[GreenNGold_81]

Home team doesn't have to travel, so yes there is.

 

[gopkrs]

Have a feeling we'll be seeing Oren Burks. Which is fine with me as I would like to see him play.

 

[rmontro]

The familiar surroundings probably don't hurt.

Not really. Same time zone. Not far. Dome stadium. No fans.

Home teams will be allowed to play artificial crowd noise this season. At a maximum of 75 decibels that might not result in a huge advantage though.

 

[lambeaulambo]

the queens already did the fake noise....take skol and oaahoooo and disband it.

It's obviously no where near the advantage it would be if there were actually fans, but home teams still have something of a home field advantage, albeit marginal. There's something to be said for sleeping in your own bed and being in your own surroundings in your own stadium.

For me, I remain optimistic that fan attendance will gradually improve throughout the season. That being said, it's definitely an enormous break for the Packers to catch the Vikings with no fans.

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

Understandably so as the bigger pins and needles issue was whether or not there would be a season. And what football would look like in it.

I'm feeling a lot more ready though after seeing the game on Thursday and knowing it's going to proceed tomorrow. It is different without playing a preseason, but I'm feeling more and more ready to go.

That's where being a professional athlete kicks in. These guys makes millions of dollars or far above the national average salary. They all chose to play this season. Got to do your job.

I personally doubt the stadiums will ever go above 25% capacity, and when you factor in the weather changes later this year, the attendance may cap at around 15% capacity.

This season will be undoubtedly be about, who is the better team.

It sure ain't coming from San Francisco.

This season players on the road will be seqestered in their hotels. That doesn't mean some fine young ladies won't be hanging out in the bar.
